Both Joe and Harris refer to the Hoverliner as the SS Friendship, but the presentation model has the plaque 'HL FRIENDSHIP' on it. I know HL stands for Hoverliner, but wouldn't SS make more sense for a plaque?

A Yellow Fox Tanker withou the Octane setion is seen in the early part of this ep.

Didn't anyone notice the shattered window in Sir George Harris' office? Would have saved them a lot of trouble.

It was rather startling to see Shane Weston at the forefront of things, rather than directing from the background.

It was interesting to see WIN's voice-print equipment, but how did they get a voice print of a former employee? Has voice-print registry become standard with businesses? It would have to be a secret registry, because Johnston Webb didn't seem to know anything about it.

I find it hard to believe that a captain of a ship would be so willing to risk his passengers' lives. His apology at the end was rather lame. I wouldn't have blamed Weston for saying, "You !@#$% should be sorry!"

On the other hand, I wouldn't have blamed Sam and Joe for pitching Weston overboard at the end. Those abominable puns....

BTW, Sam really laid himself open for that pun. Mac flies the model away, it explodes in a few seconds, then Sam asks Weston how Mac is. What was the point? They could both presumably see the Jetmobile out from the ship, and Weston wouldn't have known any more than Sam how Mac was doing.
