Mysteron Intentions?

[ffutures]

The theme song for the original Captain Scarlet series includes the line

Though the Mysterons plan to conquer the Earth,
This indestructible man will show what he's worth...

Except that I don't recall the Mysterons ever expressing any intention of conquering the Earth - their goal always appeared to be revenge for human aggression after they were brutally attacked by the first Mars expedition without any provocation. So pain, death, etc. yes, but conquest no.

Am I right about this, or is there something I've forgotten?

The Mysterons motives didn't make any sense at all. They were like us enough to communicate so what they did just looked stupid rather than weird or sinister. They were there as a plot device and I just wish that a small studio doing a program for children with puppets had spent tons more on a proper script writing team.

I also want the moon on a stick.

I like the THUNDERBIRDS rumor!

And I will encourage all of you who are coming to Worldcon to come and get your dose of Mysteron related madness by seeing THE CANCELLATION AND RE-IMAGINATION OF CAPTAIN TARTAN!
