'Codename Europa' is memorable primarily because of Captain Ochre. He finally gets to go out in the field and do something. In this case, protecting one of the big European leaders. This wasn't an ensemble show, so getting to see one of the other colors do something proactive is refreshing.
As for the plan of the week . . . This one's out there. It centers on Professor Carney, an electronics expert who's got his whole house automated and knows the ins and outs of Spectrum security. So, the Mysterons use him to get to the protected European triumvirate. There's a pretty chilling scene in the opening with Captain Black taking Carney out with a sniper rifle. That's cold, man. But the rest of the episode consists of Spectrum officers being fooled by tape-recorded gunfire and tank sounds. Seriously, the guy even uses a remote-controlled plane. It's like Spectrum is being pranked in this episode.
I've gotta hand it to Carney, though. He's got a a pretty swank pad. I've always wanted one of those Eames chairs.
6/10.
