There is something that I find suspicous about the remake, not the CGI animation itself but how it was distributed on ITV. With the viewing ratings of the Minstry of Mayhem lower than the BBC equivilent (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.
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)
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?

The series has now been fully released on DVD for Europe-region machines. -- Simon Cursitor
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)
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)

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.

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)

Who is it who keeps putting all the apostrophies into this? I keep taking them out again, coz they're either not needed, or not in the right place. For example... Spectrum's Captain's. The apostrophie in 'Spectrums' should be after the second 's', because the Captains belong to Spectrum. And, unless the word after Captains is something belonging to them, or would have been something like 'is' or 'has', the apostrophie is not needed. I know this is somewhat trivial, and I shouldn't care so much, it's just I love NCS and want the article on it to look its best and accurate as can be. It'd save me a lot of time if people would stop putting them back in. Thanks, Elaine Colt.
The second to last episode is "Dominion". That should have been used as the last episode because it would leave people wondering if the Mysterons had been destroyed whereas in the last episode, it's business as usual, in a series without a real ending.( 130.255.31.115 ( talk) 13:28, 25 March 2013 (UTC))

Because the series is a reboot, it's a stand alone to the original. It's not a not a continuation. This section contains nothing but WP:TRIVIA and WP:FANCRUFT

There is a lot of in-world detail in this article with no sources cited. Particularly suspicious are the precise heights and weights of the major characters, which were added in a series of edits in 2006.
I can think of two explanations: 1) there was some official card game or book that listed these as official character stats, because people love stats; or 2) an enthusiastic fan made it all up based on their vivid imagination. If the former, we need to track it down and cite it as a source; if the latter, we need to delete the bogus information. Any thoughts? - IMSoP ( talk) 22:04, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
