Thanks Kambei - that was worrying me!
I quite agree about leaping off Cloudbase - sorry SKYbase - it does seem rather a daft thing to do and Scarlet seems to like doing it - twice in 3 episodes, so far!
Yes, I was wondering where the other Captains were - although it is nice to know that they are not the only people on the base! I always knew there must be an army of underlings manning the place.
I thought the faces had changed in this episode too, they seemed less angular somehow. The hair wasn't very natural though, unless the fashion in 'the day after tomorrow' is for hair sleeked down with so much Brylcreme it's stiff.
What exactly were the nano--bugs doing to Scarlet in the reactor room? It looked as if they were trying to tickle him to death - after all he emerged with not a hair out of place, or a bruise to be seen. Destiny's flying suit was 'ripped' after her encounter with the bugs - but Scarlet's looked remarkably pristine after his. Maybe his retrometabolism healed him as he was being attacked - but his clothes are not retrometabolic - so something should've given....
One last point - I don't know how anyone else feels about it - but to me the dialogue - which creaked noticably in places - was performed very unemotionally. Okay - these are trained military people (I imagine - no one's actually explained what Spectrum is) but surely, Destiny might've been slightly apprehensive as her plane was being eaten around her? Colonel White remained remarkably impassive throughout the entire episode - but maybe he's feeling poorly from the effects of the skin complaint he seems to be suffering from?
Get well soon, Colonel
