Revisiting UFO....

[Asbo Zaprudder]

What about the later computer-animated Captain Scarlet? Was that any good?

SHADO personnel begin succumbing to frightening hallucinations.

I expected worse, but this actually wasn't that bad although it certainly wasn't among the better efforts earlier in the season. It was watchable and definitely more engaging than the three preceding episodes.

I would rationalize that there was certainly more than one boobytrap rock left by the exploding UFO on the lunar surface. SHADO got lucky that they had been exposed to only one. If that effect had spread to several people at once it could have been disastrous.

The best bit about this episode is Straker's hallucination, and the fact that we actually get to see the UFO sets as SETS in a soundstage. Talk about breaking the 4th wall...

I thought they did this well. Talk about getting the most out of your sets. It was framed in just the right way that they could get away with it.
