UFO S01 E15-E21 1080p BluRay x265-skorpion
PREMISE
In the year 1980, a secret military organization named "SHADO" (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defence Organisation) becomes operational. Its purpose is to defend the Earth from Aliens who've been kidnapping humans for body parts.
SHADO's main headquarters is hidden beneath a London film studio. It also has a base on the moon (Moonbase) and a fleet of submarines (Skydiver). Incoming UFO's are initially detected by an Earth orbiting satellite named "SID" (Space Intruder Detector). An initial interception attempt is made in space with three Interceptors launched from Moonbase. A second attempt is made in the Earth's atmosphere with a fighter plane (Sky One) launched from Skydiver. Landed UFO's are tracked down with ground Mobiles.
SHADO is run by the extremely dedicated Commander Ed Straker. His seconds in command are Col. Alec Freeman, Col. Paul Foster, and Col. Virginia Lake. Moonbase is often commanded by Lt. Gay Ellis.
EPISODE SYNOPSES
Episode 15: E.S.P.
A UFO crash lands into a house, killing the woman inside. The woman's husband has amazing powers of E.S.P., and after repeated scannings of Foster in the hospital, he sends Straker a detailed document full of secret information about SHADO. Straker and Freeman meet with him, but only then do they realize that he's been taken over by the Aliens and plans to kill them!
Episode 16: KILL STRAKER!
After a UFO encounter during a lunar module reentry, Foster becomes unusually hostile towards Straker. Both he and the lunar module co-pilot try to kill Straker, with the co-pilot dying in his attempt. Foster's medical exam reveals that an Alien-implanted urge to "Kill Straker" may reappear at any moment. Will Foster have to be eliminated?
Episode 17: SUB-SMASH:
A UFO destroys a ship in the Atlantic, so Straker and Foster investigate in Skydiver. The UFO attacks the sub, leaving it heavily damaged and stranded on an undersea ledge. A rescue plane is on the way, but the escape hatches are all blocked or damaged and the air is running out. Will Straker and the crew make it out alive?
Gerry Anderson commentary track included with this episode.
Episode 18: THE SOUND OF SILENCE:
While searching for a landed UFO, Col. Foster investigates a missing persons report at a nearby horse ranch. After discovering the bodies of a local hippie and his dog, Foster thinks the UFO is hiding at the bottom of a nearby lake. The UFO is destroyed in a battle with the Mobiles, but an object remains intact - is it a bomb that will detonate when taken back to SHADO HQ?
Episode 19: THE CAT WITH TEN LIVES:
While driving home, Interceptor pilot James Regan and his wife stop for a cat in the road and are abducted by the Aliens. Regan is left behind, and is now being controlled by an Alien mind in the cat. In his Interceptor, Regan is controlled to let a UFO escape and finally places his vehicle on a collision course with Moonbase!
Episode 20: DESTRUCTION:
Straker investigates a UFO incident with a naval ship. He discovers that the ship is planning to dump a highly toxic nerve gas into a deep trench in the Atlantic. However, the Aliens are being fed information about the ship's schedule, and if they succeed in destroying the ship, all life on Earth will be destroyed!
Episode 21: THE MAN WHO CAME BACK:
SID is knocked out in an Alien attack, and Craig Collins, the man chosen to pilot the repair mission, has been acting strangely since a UFO incident. Collins injures co-pilot Foster at the last minute, forcing Straker to replace him. However, once in space, Straker realizes that the Aliens have programmed Collins to kill him!
What is the correct episode order?
Thanks to Marc Martin of ufoseries.com for the following:
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a widely agreed-upon UFO viewing order, so I've listed several below. Unfortunately, some of these orders don't make any sense if you analyze how the characters and situations progress throughout the series -- especially in cases where there are flashbacks to episodes which haven't been shown yet!
The Gerry Anderson fan club FANDERSON researched the original production order, which with a slight modification has been the basis for some of the DVD releases. In my opinion a little more modification is needed to introduce Paul Foster's character better, so I've added my own personal recommendation.
Also note that the production order does not match the order in which the episodes were filmed when it comes to the episodes TIMELASH and MINDBENDER. That is, TIMELASH had an earlier production code, but was filmed after MINDBENDER.
Please do not tag or rehash this release as all that achieves is to dilute the file spread. Feel free to post this release elsewhere but please leave it as it is.
Thank you,
