@Gerry Anderson I know it wasn't well received but is there any chance of releasing the two compilation films Captain Scarlet vs. the Mysterons and Revenge of the Mysterons from Mars. I never got a chance to see them and believe there was additional Mystron voices and transition scenes.

It's great seeing black as not just an evil robot.

I wish so bad that a Captain Scarlet show was in the works. In today's climate of 'fake news' and 'alternative facts', the war against the Mysterons would be an entirely different creature. Because the Mysterons are non-corporeal and effectively invincible, they see fear the way we see death. So the aim of their war is a campaign of terrorism. Frankly, one SPECTRUM 'media liaison' could hold the Mysterons at bay just by getting reporters to bury stories and use bot accounts on social media to turn SPECTRUM and the Mysteron attacks into another bonkers conspiracy theory like Q-Anon or Flat Earth. That kind of "digital information warfare" wasn't really even on people's minds even in 2005. Reimagining Cpt. Blue as an 'Edward Snowden type' rather than just a sidekick and cheerleader for Scarlet would add an interesting texture to what was orignally a Cold War drama: "As you can _clearly_ see, the Ambassador from Thailand is having an _extreme_ reaction to his prescription alergy medication. I'll just pick up the rest of his speech on the teleprompter while the medics see to him and the Thai delegation finds someone to answer questions afterward... ...which is why we stand in unity with our neighbouring countries in our committment to meeting climate change targets in the coming decade. Furthermore..."

*Spectrum Is Green,* Gerry! Keep bringing these joys from our childhood in the 60's back. They are even more better today, than before, and I had not thought that possible.

It is one my favorites. Sad this series did not get the atention it deserved. Very well done.

Agreed! The original Captain Scarlet was great, but the storytelling in this version kicks it up more than a notch. The character development adds appreciably to the dimension of the series, making it even more engaging and compelling.

ITV treated it appallingly, splitting each epsiode into two parts on a dreadful Saturday morning show, so that many people weren't even aware of its existence. If they had given it the timeslot it deserved, early Saturday evening, it would have reinvigorated family Saturday evening before the revived Doctor Who did the same year.

I was blown away by how good the two seasons were. I need MORE

The episodes should have been longer. They feel incomplete at the half hour format. And I believe the original were hour format.

Agreed! I think many of the fans just.wanted the puppets back again. Or they didn't like the make over in Captain Black's character.

@@anindyamajumdar4088 I personally love it, the original was too one dimensional, like something out of a 50s Sci-fi whereas the CGI one has the charisma of a well written Bond villain which makes him more terrifying

I also like to think of thunderbirds are go and this being in the same universe. By the time of captain scarlet the GDF has been scrapped for being not fit for purpose (ie completely useless)

I would have used that for a finale where Black is instrumental in creating a lasting peace between Earth and the Mysterons.

@@thefurrybastard1964 Conrad Lefkon, Ambassador to the Mysteron Consulate. Has a nice ring to it.

Possibly that coupled with the Rhino's shielding?

@@thefurrybastard1964 That's what I always thought

Though it was designed 10 years earlier. I suspect they were both based on a real life Osprey :)

@@ACtheLegend Agree, looking at the Osprey I can see the similarity.

Yeah, despite risking possible capture, he takes a moment to stop and beg a favour of his best mate before running off into the beyond.

Terrahawks vs Thunderbirds Are Go Who won? 😅

@@ericaisabel969 Thunderbirds are go

​@@keiranstephenson7149 Pity. I liked Terrahawks a lot more.

Thanks for the laugh.

I love it

The new one? If so, I agree. TAG felt too dumbed down, and lacked a proper sense of danger.

You're getting to see it for free. Anyway, it was uninterrupted during the live stream this morning just mostly skippable ads beforehand.
