New Captain Scarlet | Circles of Doom | Full Episode

Several crop circles appear at the site of a near-fatal air crash, pointing to the emergence of a new and potentially devastating Mysteron weapon.
Gerry Anderson's 1960s cult classic "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" gets a CGI makeover that finds Capt. Scarlet teaming up with Capt. Blue and other allies in the Spectrum Organization. The Spectrum Organization's mission: to protect Earth from the menacing Mysterons and their lead agent, Capt. Black, a former U.S. Special Forces officer and leading Spectrum field agent.

Classic Captain Scarlet and New Captain Scarlet can coexist - so play nice! Did you see Circles of Doom on its original broadcast run? What's your favourite episode of New Captain Scarlet?

[@rosswalker3457]

I just really love all the puppet versions , sorry Man

[@benjaminkappelson384]

I love both on their own merits.

[@nightshardthefanguidebrony847]

i love classic and new captain scarlet both equally heck, im actually one of those few who actually does try to make the new follow up from the classic minus the pilot two-parter that is

[@datathunderstorm]

Quintessentially British! SPECTRUM were flying around in Cloudbase, long before SHIELD followed suit with their Helicarrier. Gerry Anderson was a genius way before his time. Loved the Classic series and I'm ecstatic about this CGI animated version too. I'm astounded at the level of detail that went into each character - indeed, into practically everything! Love the strong female characters too. Destiny Angel - not just a pretty face. Captain Scarlet was championing women's rights long before the rest of the cinematic world caught up. Overall? I'm VERY impressed - and remain a huge fan. p.s. I work in supporting digital technologies today, have always been crazy about land based vehicles, aircraft and space technologies too. I'm three score years old - and I attribute this career and hobby direction in life to the day I first watched the premier of Thunderbirds on TV back in the sixties. Thank you Gerry Anderson. Your legacy lives on in all of us.....and our children, and their children.

[@ACtheLegend]

@@datathunderstorm Small point, the Shield Helicarrier pre-dates Cloudbase by about a year.

I would like to say here that I adored this series. A worthy successor to the original, but I adore both inclusively and unconditionally.

My only regret is that Barry Gray's excellent theme tunes couldn't accompany these episodes. I still listen to his theme tunes while commuting to work in my bright red futuristic hybrid vehicle - it seems the perfect tribute to the futuristic world his music depicted.

[@iconicshrubbery]

Agree! It definitely needs the big band Gray sound, with a touch of Theramin. Also the introduction blows his credibility by saying, "Captain Scarlet, now you are VIRTUALLY indestructible". He's indestructible, full-stop/period, , dammit!!

Great episode. Given Gerry himself was in the RAF during WWII, i like to think he paid particular attention to this episode's depiction of the Lancaster in both the script & graphics.

You know what they say sometimes the old ways are the best ways

[@blutey]

Are you sure about that? Gerry was born in 1929 so would have been 10 years old at the outbreak of the Second World War and 16 when it finished! He did however apparently do national service after the war in 1947 which was still compulsory at the time.

[@kennyraiden9346]

The great comparison of the high-tech gadgets which are the advanced fighter jets and good old days' warplanes portrayed together here. There is a fear of today's weapon systems being hacked and all controls being lost along with no idea of taking measurements to recover and have them back online. Moreover, and literary there is no backup or auxiliary system to sustain a combat capability for the operation to be kept to continue. I would say it is so ironic to pull the WW.2 warbird out of the hangar to participate in combat which is thought of as an antique display rather than a battle gear. Fortunately, the plan for the plane flew pretty well, and the Lancaster did a job well done, really saved the day. I can tell that we need the least amount of backup equipment stand by to be deployed for back in active duty to support and maintain for conducting modern warfare with the systems and arsenal that came out almost a couple of decades ago for instance. In addition, I was impressed by the Angel Interceptors' demo flight. They showed a world top-notch class skills in the aerial demonstration which was sophisticatedly choreographed. My attention was drawn not to just their flight skills to dance in the sky, but also to the capability of the Angel Interceptors' performance. The flight gimmicks and active airflow control systems to conduct a demo are so impressive such as decelerating from a high-speed approach by keeping a high angle of attack nose position incorporating thrust-vectored nozzles and canards which really contribute to controlling airflow as if the airplane is free from being dominated by the gravity. These excellent maneuvers were successfully done by highly advanced flight control systems monitored by the sensor-equipped main computer does an enormous amount of computations and needless to say the highly trained pilot skills added to that. BTW, I personally loved the pre-flight check sequences of the Angel Interceptors before take-offs, such as moving its flaps, ailerons, canards, and thrust-vector nozzles up and down with the burners on. As I mentioned before, these high-tech systems could be hacked by the adversary who attempts to crack and make our instruments go down and almost impossible to prevent no matter how many countermeasures are taken. TBH, I still don't know the answer and what is the best way to deal with it. Maybe those outdated ( I wouldn't call them obsolete) fighters someday might save the day if there is a call and the grand old lady stole the show this time. The wings that once fought for us. Make us proud.

I never got to see this on initial run (Ministry of Mayhem was absolute cack) and I remember going (as a teen) "Ugh! This isn't Captain Scarlet! Why would they do this to Gerry Anderson?!" (I was NOT a bright teenager). So now I'm an adult and... This series is absolutely brilliant. Kind of like if UFO was mixed with Captain Scarlet. And I was a HUGE fan of the original series (I had the Skybase from the 90s) but... Man, I wish this had been given a fair chance and I wish I had given it a chance back then.

There definitely should be another Captain Scarlet series produced. I really think the characters and concept need to be explored more in-depth. I don't mind if they do another puppet based show which is more seemless and glossy. It could continue the story from the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. One season was not enough!!

They had analog bomb targeting "computers" which involved cams and mirrors. Put in the inputs and the viewfinder showed where the bombs would hit if released at that point. When the target appeared in the crosshairs, you punched the release. The analog targeting computers for big naval guns even calculated the inertia due to the spin of the Earth of a projectile at the latitude launched and compensated for landing at the latitude of the target.
