Gosh..it's not often I'm first in with a post...
I rather liked this episode in many ways..not that I don't mind a bit of stonking CGI action...but this was definitely slower-paced and all the more enjoyable for that. (Is this the female in me coming out? )
The Colonel is certainly one of the most intriguing characters in this series and it was nice to get some insight into his background. I enjoyed the restuarant scene....although I thought it odd that Spectrum's lead pilot and field agent seem to act as 'babysitters...' surely they have some security guys on Skybase???
Anyway..nice to see a female CGI character who has long hair for a change..even if it was in a plait. I thought Victoria was rendered rather nicely. SEE Denim...some girls STILL call their fathers 'Daddy'...but perhaps only in England and if they're blue-blooded....(private joke everyone..)
Scarlet and Blue in civvies...cool....
Black's gem of reply to his henchman's - 'Over my dead body...' He still has some of the best lines... Although Blue comes a close second with his laconic reply to Scarlet's question as to whether he enjoyed his sandwiches whilst waiting for them in the Hummingbird...
I even found the Colonel's little speech about - 'If you dont care about those you love then what's the point of saving the planet?' to be rather touching rather than risible.
Only one question...why does White have a Rhino in his basement...? Maybe Diana uses it to get a good parking space for shopping at Harrods?....
