Obviously, the Rhino is meant to be the new version of the SPV. Both of them are great vehicles, but if you had to ask me to choose one, I just couldn’t. My favourite vehicle from new Scarlet is the Bison, that’s the one that Scarlet and Black used to explore Mars in the first episode.
Oh wow, a surprise upload. 👀 Great episode, but that ending dialogue tho. 😭 I think my favourite vehicle from this show is either the Spectrum Albatross or the Spectrum Raid Bike.
I watched a couple of episodes myself for Captain Scarlet day. Model Spy, Crater 101 and a New Captain Scarlet episode that I shall not name here (yet).
Hello again Alexa glad you enjoyed Episode 7 "Trap For A Rhino". As for the best vehicle in "New Captain Scarlet" it is the one that wasnt a redesign of a Classic Spectrum Vehicle the one you first saw in "Instrument Of Destruction Part 1" The Spectrum Bison. The only vehicles i dont like in the New Series are "The New Spectrum Passenger Jet" "The Albatross Transporter" which i think is way over engineered and finally The Raid Bike. Also while i like the Rhino i also think it is a little over Engineered too. But the Absolute Favourite for me will always be the Bison.
Never watched this 'new' version of Captain Scarlet, but used to love the live action Anderson series UFO, and that opening scene looks like a nod to that series, there is an episode where a blind old lady who lives in the woods is visited by one of the aliens. It is VERY creepy i highly recommend it.
We've got to my favourite episode (though must admit I've only caught season one so far). Trap for a Rhino! And that was my favourite vehicle. You may be right saying there wasn't much substance to it which has got me thinking about why I like it so much. Maybe for me it's the mix of sf and rural horror elements and a good old-fashioned race against time action bit at the end. Like one or two others here I felt the last lines between Scarlet and Destiny were a bit (a bit!) corny.
Rhino/SPV, hands down, the artists must've been saving money as the bad guy bears a small resemblance to Scarlet, nice to see elements outside the main characters, like in UFO, PS, if Scarlet were to father a child, would said child be "abort-proof" if you get my drift? (Of course Mr. Paul Metcalfe is a complete gentleman)
