"Captain Scarlet!"

"What is Captain Scarlet?" Raven asks.

"Well, the full name would be Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons," you say. "And it was very much a puppet hero show. Captain Scarlet works for the secret agency known as Spectrum, and battles the Mysterons, a group of super-powered Martians that mainly have the power of partial control over matter. Somehow, as he battles the Mysterons, Captain Scarlet acquires their increased healing factor they refer to as 'reverse metabolism' and becomes more or less indestructible."

"So the Mysterons are the villains?"

"Yes, which does make for confusion as to why they're in the title."

"Yeah it sounded like Captain Scarlet was in charge of the Mysterons but they're enemies."

"Yes, a definitely odd choice. But that aside, it was a lot of fun for puppets and stop motion. Captain Scarlet, Captain Blue, Destiny Angel, Colonel White, and the other Spectrum Angels, Symphony, Melody, Rhapsody and Harmony would battle the Mysterons every week, but there would be one secret spy of the Mysterons embedded in Spectrum: Captain Black!"

"Ooo~!" Raven says, pretending to be amazed.

"Yes, it was certainly very 1960's, but I didn't mind watching its syndication run."

"Wow, the 60's? I'm surprised Mad Maud didn't use Control Freak's remote to bring them out."

"Yes, thinking back, that is a surprise," you say. "But perhaps for the best, if we'd have to worry about indestructible Captain Scarlet or the sinister Captain Black."

"Was he really that powerful?" Raven asks.

"Well his healing factor made up for a lot of what made him so strong," you say. "On top of that, he was a secret agent, so not exactly James Bond, but he still knows how to shoot a gun."

"That doesn't seem like a kids show," Raven says.

"Well yes, I was 13 when I watched the original series, and then the subsequent CGI reboot in 2005, 'The New Captain Scarlet.'"

"Was the reboot good?"

"Good enough," you shrug.

"What was your favorite part of the original?" she asks.

A) The puppets and effects
B) The story
C) The toys
