UFO: Reflections in the Water (1971)
Season 1, Episode 24
Epic Hour with Energy
9 January 2008
The aliens are now at the bottom of the sea, living in an undersea dome, and submarine Skydiver is keeping an eye on the trouble making aliens.

Reflections begins with a surface ship being attacked by an underwater UFO. The drama of this moment is well played and Barry Gray is going all out with his disaster music but the miniature effects are too miniature looking. It just looks like toys in a bath tub.

Act one then begins with episode titles and wonderfully loud Barry Gray music playing over these titles. Good stuff. From this point on the episode is a total winner, however more poor miniature effects do appear in tiny bursts. No big problem. During the 26 episode run of UFO the cast did change a lot and in this hour the crew of submarine Skydiver is not the same crew as seen in the first 17 episodes of UFO.

The episode has interesting humans (Anderson) maybe taken over by the aliens, it has Straker getting around and about away from the office, it has action and adventure! An all round good show that is the best of UFO.
