There is something that i find suspicous about the remake ,not the CGI animation itself but how it was distubited on ITV. With the viewing ratings of the Minstry of Mayhem lower than the BBC equivment (At the time it was first aired it was Dick and Dom in da bunglow), did ITV consider trying to boost it with this as some stupid attempt to boost the rating of their failing saturday slot? I mean when it was going to be first aired the advert for it showed no mention of it being part of the MoM, yet the time for it clearly showed where it would be logically.
Thankfully, it is now being shown outside the MoM, unthankfully the damage has already been done (i.e it was part of some sick rating drive)-Dynamo_ace
I like it, I think it is good as I think it is really good and i am a fan of gerry anderson so...

[edit] Size
This is getting to be pretty huge. Perhaps someone should break the episodes off into their own page?207.162.216.15 02:06, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

- My understanding was that episode guides were now ruled "not-suitable" for Wiki. certainly they are being AfD'd with regularity nowawdays -- SockpuppetSamuelson 10:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm seeing episode lists prominently linked around WP. Just as a real encyclopaedia has lists (in table form, etc.) for reference, so should an online one. In any case, I've added the 'too long' notice, which this article is. The TOC is off my screen at a relatively high resolution, at least.--Dancraggs 17:36, Tuesday July 10, 2007 (UTC)
- All the other Gerry Anderson series have episode lists, and it would reduce the size of the article considerably. I'm not sure about whether episode lists are still considered suitable but there are plenty out there and there is a Wikipedia Taskforce dedicated to this so I would think they're acceptable

[edit] Wiki-linking of characters biogs between both series
Biographing and Wiki-Linking characters between both series is going to get messy. Captain Scarlet/Captain Blue/Captain Black are already disambiguated specifically for the original series. What's more, Destiny Angel is a whole new character in the new series. It makes more sense to create separate encyclopaedia entries for the new characters, disambiguating as requred, cross-referencing between old and new. Or has the topic been addressed elsewhere?

[edit] DVDs
The series has now been fully released on DVD for Europe-region machines. -- Simon Cursitor
[edit] Official Website
There was a Captain Scarlet web site, which as well as a Spectrum styled user interface, contained information on how the CGI series was created. This disappeared after a short while. Perhaps the domain was not renewed. Dawd 18:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Computer.jpg
Image:Computer.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Look and Feel
Does this article deserve a mention of the unique look ? It is very different to Pixar productions for example, and for very good reasons explained in this interview with one of the animators: http://www.newtek-europe.com/uk/community/lightwave/thornton/1.html At least, there should be a reference to this interview somewhere. DJ Barney 00:29, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps it would be interesting to add a section on the CGI aspect of it and how it differs, provided that there is enough material to warrant this section. If you think you could do it, then by all means. --Dancraggs 17:39, Tuesday July 10, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article too long
Since a "too long" tag has been placed on the article I would suggest moving the episode summaries to a separate page like most other tv-related articles (and all the other Gerry Anderson series). This would slim down the main article considerably. Any objections? Bobfos 10:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry didn't see the above discussion :(
