Ep 63 – The Launching vs. Touch of the Reaper

The original Captain Scarlet episode THE LAUNCHING goes up against New Captain Scarlet’s TOUCH OF THE REAPER! We’ll be comparing these two menacing Mysteron threats from the 1967 Supermarionation series and Gerry Anderson’s 2005 CGI remake. In The Launching, Spectrum work to protect President Roberts in the ultimate Mysteron misdirection, while Touch of the Reaper sees Scarlet and the team battle a horrific virus spread by touch that leads them to Air Force One.
