Line 34:
** And also there was one time a Mysteron agent jammed the camera resulting in the SPV crashing.
*** All of which is probably why the revival did away with this, allowing drivers of the SPV's successor, the Rhino, to face the right way.
** Lingering questions on the plausibility of the SPV's driving position would inspire a test by documentarian [[Tom Scott]] in 2022. It showed driving backwards while looking through a monitor itself isn't as terrible an idea as it seems, but the ''real'' problem is actually that one is driving through '''a''' monitor, denying the driver use of their peripheral vision. Another problem he ran into was that building the low-latency video required for driving at any kind of speed into a vehicle in the first place is technological hurdle, but 46 years of technological progress could easily rectify that.
* [[Blessed with Suck]] - Scarlet. Indestructibility's all very well and good, but when it means that every other mission you do ends in your death or injury, it's not so great.
** To the revival's credit, Scarlet's indestructibility is only called into play in a minority of episodes.
