recently die puny humans mentioned that there was a new captain scarlet program in the works, but this time using computer animation. so i headed over to fanderson to check out the details and it is indeed true. i also discovered they are working on a live action film version of thunderbirds. why is it that instead of being excited by this, i'm well, disappointed or disgusted? there was a time when i would of thought such news was cool, fine and dandy. with captain scarlet, why don't they use the new technology with a new story instead of just rehashing the old one? it may turn out being really cool in the end i'll have to wait and see, but my misgivings are still there. updating of old tv shows just seems like a way to attract an audience based on a familiar name even when the end product has very little to do with the original idea. hopefully that won't be the case here, but i'm not so sure.
