I am also realising that I have been picturing the kitchen on Tracy Island completely wrong for a very long time. not sure my poor brain can be rewired now, so that might just have to stay forever.

This episode is a masterpiece, so much equipment shown, so many people shown - including cluing us in our their relationships. The hiding under the desk to avoid grandmas cooking, which is actually a cunning way to let the audience know that Jeff isn't on the scene any more.

Also, how the hell does Gordon not even manage to get through one episode without getting stuck under a sea quake? This is why they kept him at home in the original series. absolute liability.

Side note, I would totally wear Lady P's gold peep-toe shoes.

Has anyone done a tally of how many episodes feature THB attempting to become a submersible? The big green bathtub really wants to go for a swim.

But Gordo saves the day and Virgil is just swinging his way down to Thunderbird 4's floating shipping container. Just like hes popping down to the shops.

Oh and Virgil is out in force with that all saving hand again (thank you WETA for the grubby paws).

And dont get me started on sleepy Virgil yawn when theyre all back on the island. The yawn that launched a thousand Whumps!

Kayo felt more playful in this episode, chilling with Alan and quite ready to push the mysterious button. Maybe once she finds out that its her uncle behind the evil stuff she hardened up a bit. Or, and this is just a chance, I may have just read too much angsty fic and thats tinted my perception.

ON TO EPISODE TWO!!! whooo hooo!

John completely dismissing the Hoods demands as from a bad movie villain. Consider yourself dismissed Hood.

Scott being the dumb blond representing the audience needing to be told why a solar array is suddenly an emergency. Use little words to explain it Brains, we all want to know the answer.

I do think that they might have considered evacuating the city before it got toasted. I guess it's in line with trying to distract everyone with Bingo in TOS.

THUNDERBIRD SURFING!!! THUNDERBIRD SURFING!

(I do hate the ugly pencil skirts they give the background characters in these. Poor Professor Moffat also got one of the cursed skirts, poor woman.)

Could they make Kayo any cooler? HALO drop? Oh I think they managed it. Yes, thats "why-walk-when-you-can-jump-over-it" going in to get the bad guy. So hang on, she mutes the comms so the Tracy brothers don't hear about her family connection to bauldy breeches, but all those GDF dudes who come out of the shadows (no pun intended) along with Val, presumably all know her family connection too.

(dear mr Hood, Harry Hill would like his shirt back.)

QUOTES

favorite quotes

Virgil "Slow and steady wins the race" that you do my boy, that you do.

Brains "might I suggest, look don't touch." how many times does he have to say that on the island? I get the feeling the Tracy lads might be tactile learners.

Scott, "whats that john, a rescue, I'm on my way!" no acting prize awarded for that wooden delivery.
