Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 1x27 First Time Watching Reaction & Review 

Tripwire! Not a spoiler as it was never filmed, but the original script had the Mysteronised Professor disposing of the original's remains with a remote-controlled lawn mower, the thought of which really freaks me out!

It’s rare, these days, that I come across an episode of Gerry’s series I’ve never seen. This is one of the ones that escaped me until now. Brilliant! 💕

It's great to see you still enjoying captain Scarlet Alexa. I've not watched the show for a long time and you've really given me the itch for a rewatch. 😁 Tripwire!!

The Mysterons seem to favor characters played by the Captain Brown or Captain Indigo marionettes ( granted they were expensive), maybe they should put periscopes in the mark 2 SPVs.

Codeword: Tripwire Regarding your comment about the poor trees… it’s the animals I’d be more worried about. LOL But I do agree about the professor being the most interesting and dangerous Mysteron agent.

Great vid, I'm loving these reviews and of course, Tripwire.

This series Alexa is awesome and fun

The climax of The Silence of the Lambs has some similarities to the ending of this episode - though Jodie Foster's character didn't have an opportunity to set up a tripwire.

Great tripwire😊

Tripwire - I made it to the end.

Tripwire. Keep going with Gerry Anderson after Scarlet, please

Kind of ironic that the Mysteron agent look a bit like younger Nigel Farage and the triumvirate of Europe is literally the EU (European Union) before it was founded in 1993. Then again two of Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation show did predicted the Challenger disaster.

Tripwire. Another good review, I always enjoy your take on the shows I used to watch when I was a kid. Not related to this episode in particular, but have you noticed how unpopulated the Captain Scarlet/Thunderbirds world seems to be? Nice empty roads and plenty of convenient deserted locations for doing murders and getting rid of dead bodies. In my head canon, the Earth suffered a serious depletion in its population due to all those alien abductions in the 80s - SHADO lost and civilisation's still recovering. It would also explain how it is we've only just got to Mars.

Tripwire! Another great episode, Alexa, I'm so glad that you're enjoying the series. What I loved about Gerry Anderson programs is that even though their audience was mainly children they never dumbed down on things and the production values were always excellent.

Superb Alexa ,happy Star Wars day my dear May the forth be with you ❤,you live in California look up emergency squad 51 I got the compleat box set it was a mid seventies show we got it here in London around 76/77 when I was 8 it’s superb. All the best Mark 😊😊

Pride comes before a fall. If the professor had not placed all his confidence in his technological gadgets he might have considered checking for a tripwire before entering the room.

I love Captain scarlet

Tripwire Always found the ending a tad underwhelming and confusing. Scarlet killed him with his regular gun which was shown to not work in Spectrum Strikes Back. Same with Shadow of Fear. Yet he says in SSB "This is the only gun that can kill a Mysteron".

Good game good game let's look at the scoreboard 😊

Tripwire. That's all I have to say.

Comment! Also "tripwire."
