Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: Supermarionation: The Kitchen Sink: Scenes We'd Like to See
By D.K. Henderson on Friday, April 04, 2003 - 6:58 pm:

*Scott Tracy milking a cow.
*Thunderbird 2 picking Pod 4 UP from the water.
*Penelope hurling herself into Virgil's arms and shrieking, "You've got a MOUSE in here!"
*John Tracy doing practically anything.
*Alan belting Rick O'Shea in the eye.
*Someone telling Jeff Tracy that he owes his son Scott an apology for condemning his actions without hearing the circumstances.
*Grandma baking a cherry pie, a blueberry pie, a mince pie, anything but an apple pie.
*Virgil and Alan laughing fit to bust a gut as Scott exits the boys' "emergency exit".
*Actually seeing the back-up crew getting into Thunderbird 2.
*Seeing how Virgil gets OUT of Thunderbird 2.

*Atlanta and Marina having a "Dynasty" style catfight.
*Agent X20 revealing that he is a secret supporter of the WASPs, which is the real reason why he keeps bungling things.

*Grandma chasing Scott, after he snitched a piece of her special cake.
*Just a few more seconds of "Move--and You're Dead", when Alan suddenly leans toward Tin-Tin and--does what?
*Kyrano and Parker having a "Dynasty" style catfight after spilling the drinks.
*Mrs. Files cracking a smile and breaking her face.

Hint: if you want to see TB2 actually pick up TB4, then just play the pod-releasing sequence in 'The Man From M.I.5'! in reverse by rewinding! :)


By D.K. Henderson on Thursday, April 10, 2003 - 6:50 am:

That would be cheating! (Of course, that's apparently what they do with the Mole....)

I'd also like to see how the boys manage to change clothes so fast. Firemen and the old American Minutemen have nothing on them! Alan can even change civilian clothes for civilian clothes just coming up in the elevator in TB3 (and then springing into his uniform in the blink of an eye!)

Or how about Thunderbird 4 getting back in the pod?

And was there ever an occasion where we saw Gordon's portrait flashing for a transmission? He only seemed to transmit to Virgil or Scott, and once to Brains' wristwatch.

TB4 coming out of Pod 3.

Scott on the rotating wall leading to TB1, then on his way jumps off and has a smoke for ten minutes thinking, "Ah, Virg can take care of things for a while..."

Virgil on the tilting wall leading to TB2, which suddenly gets stuck halfway.

Scott and Alan on the descending bench leading to TB3 - and when they emerge they're wearing the other one's civilian clothes untidily. :O :O :O

Virgil flying on TB2, puts on thrash metal music to pass the time. Brains and Gordon start head-banging to the music.


By Sven of Nineties on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 1:40 am:

Alan suggests he and Tin-Tin start to dance. Alan puts on what he calls "oldies music" which turns out to be 500bpm happy hardcore rubbish.


By Sophie on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 4:29 am:

Scott on the rotating wall leading to TB1. He rotates into a room full of Nazis.
Nazi woman: Alarm!!!
Hint: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Alan and Tin-Tin on the lift to TB3.
Tin-Tin: It's very high, Alan!
Alan: We call this the Ride of Death. It's called that because a bloke fell off it last year.
Hint: Father Ted

TV frontman: ..the fires are believed to have been started by the landing rockets of two so-called 'Thunderbird' craft. As these, the worst forest fires for a generation race though California leaving death, destruction and homelessness in their wake, we ask 'What were those guys thinking?'.


By Sven of no on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 9:32 am:

TB1 takes off while someone is in the swimming pool.

Gordon starts singing "We all live in a yellow submarine..." at an uncomfortable moment in TB4.

Hans Blix and Mohammed El Baradei come onto Tracy Island, asking to look for rockets and other big weapons of mass rescue.

The French conduct nuclear testing at Tracy Island. Everyone gets exposed and melts into puddles of nylon and plastic. Furthermore, Grandma mutates into a giant lizard and starts rampaging through New York.


By D.K. Henderson on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 10:55 am:

What the heck WOULD they do if someone was in swimming? Or do they broadcast a general rescue alert around the house to make certain that everyone's out of the way? (And why doesn't the motion cause a big wave to slosh over the edge of the pool?)

Did they make Gordon's sub yellow deliberately, or was it just a nice bright color for under the water? Come to think of it, you would want a rescue sub to be eye-catching.

Here's something else we never get to see--the boys washing their Thunderbirds. Gordon's sub, especially, seems to get awfully dirty for something that's in the water so much. And I can just see everyone vanishing from the vicinity when Virgil announces that TB2 needs a cleanup....


By Sophie on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 1:04 pm:

I'd like to see The Hood put a pinkie to his lips, Dr Evil style...


By Sven of Richey Lives on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 1:23 pm:

Alan goes into a rock'n'roll coke-addled strop and throws the 21st Century equivalent of a TV set into the swimming pool before tattooing "4REAL" into his plastic forearm with a switchblade.
