TAG Rewatch is GO!!

Hi TAGrewatchers,

Here is our prospective calendar for the final rewatch! Season 3 of Thunderbirds are Go is set to run from 26th June to 24th December 2021, with each episode spanning one week (Friday to Saturday). Let’s get excited!

Today we also celebrate the official end of TAGrewatch - the first time in many weeks that we won’t be able to announce another episode of Thunderbirds are Go to rewatch, as we have reached the series’ natural conclusion.

We officially started rewatching in April 2020 and kept going through every single episode, with only a few weeks break in between seasons thanks to overwhelmingly positive feedback driving the rewatch forward!  A big thank you to everyone who followed and supported this blog (exactly 100 of you! Hopefully not all bots!!!) whether you were having fun watching your old posts appear or getting into TAG for the first time. Seeing likes, reblogs, and happy comments popping up in the feed every day has been confirmation that the rewatch fulfilled its purpose. we couldn’t have done it without you!

Speaking personally, it’s been an enjoyable challenge trying to keep this blog going under my own steam. Although it took someone else to make this blog and give me the push to get the rewatch started, I’ve been generating the queue on my own. Sometimes this means I ended up panic-searching for posts on Friday evenings, or even waking up in a panic on Saturday only just remembering that I hadn’t queued anything at all! Probably not the smartest move to give myself extra responsibilities when I was already pretty busy for 2021, but I’m glad that I didn’t hold off doing it. Thunderbirds are Go has been a great source of positivity and creativity in our little corner of tumblr, and it really made some people’s day to see posts that even they had forgotten about from a time they really enjoyed to be remembered and reblogged again. I think we all needed those little moments of joy this year, and TAGteam has given me a small but significant reason to keep going through a lot of tough times since we started. Thank you, everyone!

This may not be the end. I have one or two ideas that could keep this blog active next year, but I’ll have to do a brainstorming session first to see if they would work. Until then, enjoy your Christmas and have a safe and happy New Year!
