Captain Scarlet | E4 | Mercury Falling

[@OdeeOz]

Thanks for keeping this revival of a classic series coming. And special thanks for the _nod_ to Fireball XL-5!

[@garethspotfur1]

i am loving the references to tech from other anderson shows. the thunderbirds fireflash jet, and now the fireball XL5 launching ramp.

Awesome, the Captain does not screw around when it comes to dealing with Mysteron scum! I'd love to see a Netflix/Apple etc, series taken up of Capt Scarlet. I watched the original as a kid, and this early CGI series is really well done. The next gen for Capt Scarlet would be fantastic!

[@jackspringheel9963]

That was a Fireball XL-5 launch!

[@larrygrebler5054]

It sure was!

[@bukster1]

The letters MSFB-5XL is visible on the side of Mercury at 20:21 That looks like a scrambling of FB-XL5 to me. It was pretty funny to realise Mercury was a nod to that series.

Sure, a very nice homage paid to Fireball XL-5 !

[@kovalmoog]

@@bukster1 Yes, I noticed the scrambling on the Mercury's model letters 🙂 I love these kind of references.

I know this show didn’t get an upvote,but,later on people liked it.I think,Gerry Anderson was just trying to keep up with the latest technology.(in 2005).Hat’s off to Gerry!

Whoa, brutal! What Scarlet did to her NEVER would have happened in the original. This is obviously meant for the grown-up fans of the original, not kids!

[@solosailor222]

now THAT'S Good Sci-Fi !!

Hey Captain Scarlet, why didn't you just do what you did at 19:17 in the first place? Hey Destiny, why didn't you just do what you did at 20:51 in the first place?

Man, physics doesn’t here at all!

[@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye]

That was one helluva lot more than $50m in diamonds!
