“Breakdown” With this review I am officially caught up with Thunderbirds Are Go and the rest of my reviews should be nicely on time after this. Please do give some consideration to my reviews of “Falling Skies” and “Relic” since they were so late. It’s my own fault but still. After a Scott centric episode…

“Relic” My quick catch-up on the missed episodes of Thunderbirds are go continues. I hate it when I miss the beginning of things so I apologise for doing that and hopefully won’t let that happen again. This episode finally attempts to give the series some backstory with the return of an old friend of Jeff…

“Falling Skies” Thunderbirds Are Go returns to screens after a long hiatus with an action packed episode that has International Rescue work tirelessly to save a space hotel plummeting to Earth. Actually, Thunderbirds Are Go returned weeks ago but for whatever reason I missed that. I managed to find out when the third episode after…

Heavy Metal Thunderbirds Are Go breaks for midseason with another daring rescue involving a problem at the Supreme Hadron Collider. It’s mostly action in this outing but there’s some time devoted to character development thrown in there. The purpose for being at the Collider is for Brains to catch up with an old friend/former college…

“Under Pressure” Thunderbirds Are Go” finally lets Thunderbird 4 out of the garage for a while and gives audiences and undersea adventure. The story is almost entirely focused on the rescue here but there is a subplot involving the Hood targeting Lady Penelope for asking the wrong questions. These two stories aren’t separate entities though…

“Skyhook” Thunderbirds Are Go delivers what amounts to the best episode yet with a tense rescue sequence involving a weather station quickly rising towards space. The episode opens with a quiet moment involving the brothers enjoying some rare down time. Apparently they’ve managed to have 3 solid days where they didn’t need to do any…

“Tunnels of Time” Thunderbirds Are Go finally gets around to giving Gordon an episode to himself as he, Lady Penelope and Parker are trapped in a newly discovered temple. The episode starts off really well with the action in full swing as Thunderbird 2 clears away a big boulder and reveals the temple. It’ great…

“Slingshot” Alan returns to the forefront in the latest Thunderbirds Are Go as he and Kayo try to save a researcher on a collision course with the sun. Fans of the original series will feel a sense of déjà vu here as this is a partial remake of the classic episode “Sunprobe”. Here it is…

“EOS” Time for Thunderbirds Are Go to focus on John and his role of monitoring the rescue situation from orbit as a sentient A.I. John has been very much a support role since the series began. He’s been a constant presence but hasn’t been given any significant development before this point. Seeing a bit more…

“Runaway” Thunderbirds Are Go moves the focus back to Scott and Thunderbird 1 as he and Brains work to stop a runaway train from crashing and causing untold death and destruction. It’s a pretty simple rescue scenario where the stakes are really obvious but as I’ve said before, complicated isn’t necessary to tell a good…
