This is the voice of the Mysterons! We know that you can hear us, Earthmen! We will deal another crushing blow.  We told you we intend to obliterate the sub-continent of North America.  We will be avenged!

Asking a Mysteron to back their car up while stood behind it is like asking to die! Though why that mechanic (with Shane Rimmer’s voice! Mmm!) couldn’t just move out of the way is beyond me!

---

Admit it! You all felt sorry for Scarlet in the casino when he was sat at the roulette table having all his money taken! The way he shut his eyes (probably so Blue couldn’t see him crying!), the way he lowered his head in defeat! Aww, poor Scarlet!

---

After he ‘resigned’ from Spectrum, he met two Mysteron agents and told them:
Now I’m just plain Paul Metcalfe.
Mmm hmm, just plain Paul Metcalfe, like any other human being on the planet. Just a normal person with the power of retromotabolism. Just a plain human being who is undercover trying to beat a race of Martians from destroying all life on the planet. Yep, a plain ordinary human being there!

---

The ranch house the Mysteron agents take him to is the same building from ‘Spectrum Strikes Back’, the SIA building. Just don’t go downstairs, whatever you do!

---

After Scarlet shot Blue, why didn’t the Mysterons try their little retromotabolism trick on him? Having another shot at a member of Spectrum could have proven very useful! And why didn’t they? Probably because they were impatient to blow up North America! Handy really, the only member of Spectrum who’s ever been of any use to them was Black! Brown blew up and didn’t even take the target with him! Scarlet managed to get back to the good guys team and Indigo couldn’t even squash a few VIPs without being electrocuted!

---

The security placed on the hidden SPVs isn’t the best in the world! All it took was Scarlet to punch one guard in the face and flip a switch then Bob’s your uncle, you got an SPV!
