The
last Joe 90 disc stands up as well as the first - its
episodes as exciting and as well made as any in the series.
And just as importantly, the central characters that made
this show such a gem had been so well defined by this stage
in the production that it is easy to forget that they are
just puppets.
Joe
90 marked the beginning of the end for the Supermarionation
technique - Century 21 productions would soon turn to live
action - but watching this DVD makes it clear that although
the puppet shows were nearing their end there was still plenty
of life left in the formula, even at this late stage in the
game.
For pure, simple pleasure Child of the Sun God and
Viva Cordova are hard to beat but there really isn't
a bad episode here, or for that matter anywhere else in the
series. Wave this disc under the nose of a Captain Scarlet
fan as proof that Joe the diminutive spy was always the
equal of the indestructible Mysteron double and often his
better.
