More episodes of Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons today. Disc two has 8 more episodes and here they are.
Seek And Destroy has the Mysterons take over three of the fighter planes that the Angels fly. They use the planes to attack the Angels but they fail in the end.
Spectrum Strikes Back has Spectrum leaders at a secret meeting location with the Earth President. They raise and lower a whole house to enter the underground shelter. It makes little sense to do that but there you go. The scientists from around the world have developed some new weapons for fighting the Mysterons. One is that Mysterons detector in the picture above. Looks like a car grill, huh. When they test it they detect a spy in their midst. He escapes with the key to the elevator. The house is descending on the Earth President and the others in the secret basement. They'll be crushed unless someone gets the key and stops the house descending. Who designs this stuff? When they showed the house descending the part of the house that stayed down below was replaced by an identical section that came out from the side. Wouldn't that automatically slide back when the house is descending? It just makes no sense when you stop to think about it. The house makes a stupid ticking time bomb. It's that poor writing that really bugs me about the show.
Avalanche takes us to the Frost Line, the Outer Space Defense System, which the Army runs. The Army guy is a big asshole who wants to attack Mars with missiles. He didn't listen to Colonel White when he called and now the General is in over his head. Spectrum helps out but everyone in the Red Deer base is dead. There's a lot of killing each episode. The Mysterons have to kill someone to take over their body. Will Captain Scarlett be able to stop them before they destroy Cariboo base? Nope, but they do save the next base in line.
Shadow Of Fear has Spectrum land a probe on Phobos to spy on the Mysterons. The aliens take over one of the scientists on the project right under the noses of Captain Scarlett and Captain Blue and that guy plants a bomb in the rotational gears of the antenna that picks up the signals from Mars. They build that antenna on a mountain and house the control center in a building down the mountainside, right under the very heavy exploding antenna. When the Antenna explodes it all falls on the control center, killing everyone inside. No one thought that through either. Oh, well.
The Heart Of New York has some criminals break into a Spectrum security vault. They don't find any money or treasure but they do learn from the documents they stole about the Mysterons. The crooks pretend to be Mysterons and break into a big bank. Captain Black shows up as they are robbing and locks them in the vault. He blows up the bank with them in it. Ha ha, on those guys. I did learn that there are Spectrum police.
Fire At Rig 15 has the Mysterons attack a Spectrum oil well.
The Launching has the Mysterons plan to attack President of the US. Captain Scarlett gets President Roberts to stay home. Captain Black sets up an attack on an atomic liner called the President Roberts. Which one is the target?
Lunarville 7 is a station on the moon, the Lunar Controller there says they want to be neutral in the fight between the humans and the Mysterons. The Aliens agree with him. Captain Scarlett, Captain Blue and Lieutenant Green head for the moon where they get trapped by the Lunar Controller. They escape and find out that the Mysterons are building a complex for themselves.
Another disc done and 2 more to go.
