Thunderbirds Are Go	comment	Thunderbirds Are Go is the remake of Thunderbirds. It began on ITV and CITV on 4 April 2015 and concluded 22 February 2020. The original marionettes have been replaced with CGI, although many of the sets and environments, most notably Tracy Island, are models. The series is a UK-New Zealand co-production and features visual effects by Weta Digital, CGCG Inc and Milk VFX, which look every bit as awesome as you'd expect. The series received a great deal of publicity in the British media, with all concerned insisting that they wanted the new series to remain true to the spirit of the old.Two more seasons were then commissioned, bringing the episode total to 78.Not to be confused with the 1966 film set in the milieu of the original series.

When Scott arrives and enters the mine, he discovers a source of unstable uranium, and is attacked by a mysterious woman, who claims that the mine belongs to her family. During their confrontation the mine soon begins to crumble, and she and Scott must work together to escape and reseal the mine, before a storm spreads the leaking radiation to the nearest city with serious consequences.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_1e12b5b7	comment	Lawful Stupid: Light-Fingered Fred, while working at Oxy-Baker, is so obsessed with following the rules that not even a life-or-death situation is an acceptable reason for breaking them to him. A life-or-death situation that he caused by refusing to let a cleaning crew in a few minutes early. In addition, he utterly refuses to cooperate with International Rescue because they haven't received clearance. Ironically, in his refusal to break rules for any reason, he's breaking the very first rule of Oxy-Baker: "Any of the rules in this book can be dismissed and forgotten in any emergency where loss of human life might result". Needless to say, Mrs Baker is not happy when she finds out that his inflexibility has cost her a scrubber and nearly killed two workers, and she fires him for completely and utterly mishandling an emergency minutes after entering his office.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
Thunderbirds Are Go / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The solar collector subplot in "Ring of Fire" is lifted directly from the original Thunderbirds episode "Lord Parker's 'Oliday," but moves the location from the Mediterranean to Taipei. In "Fireflash", as Kayo brings the titular Cool Plane for a landing, the old "Fireflash Landing" score is utilized. The T.E.A. in "Designated Driver" is patterned after the radio teapot from the original series. In "Touch and Go," the fuel that the Hood steals has the same name as the highly combustible cargo of Ocean Pioneer and Ocean Pioneer II from the original series episode. "Danger at Ocean Deep." The repulsor in "Undercover" was stolen from "Houseman Industries," last seen building roads as "Gray and Houseman" in the original series episode "End of the Road." Lady Sylvia Creighton-Ward (Lady Penelope's great aunt) is named after and voiced by the late Sylvia Anderson, voice of the original Lady Penelope. "Relic"'s base on the moon, Shadow Alpha One, looks remarkably similar to another Moonbase Alpha... When Kayo tracks down Captain Taylor to help with a mission in "Colony", Taylor's attempt to remember her name hints at the fact that Kayo is basically the old series' Tintin with an Action Girl makeover: FAB-0 in "Designated Driver" is based on the design of FAB-1 from the original series. When Gordon boards Jeff Tracy's old TV-21 prototype rocket in "Up from the Depths", he finds a gold-rimmed International Rescue hat from the original series. And the ship's control chair is identical to the pilot's seat in the original Thunderbird 1. A tiny but clever one, in "Designated Driver", we see Lady Penelope reaching down to press a hidden button while the burglars bicker amongst themselves. The camera shows a clearly human (not CGI) hand pressing the button. This is a tribute to the original Thunderbirds series which would use human hands in close ups when they would handle items. In one episode, Virgil mentions to Alan that their dad used to wear shirts with flamingos printed on them. This is a reference to Thunderbirds 1965 episode "Introducing Thunderbirds" where Jeff does indeed wear a shirt with a flamingo print. The Zero-X space shuttle is the same name as the Earth to Mars space shuttle used in the film of the same name, as well as Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_28cd01ca	comment	Disappeared Dad: Unlike in the original show, Jeff Tracy is nowhere to be seen. In "Ring of Fire", it is mentioned that he was in a crash, and that The Hood is to blame. But they Never Found the Body. Tintin/Kayo's father Kyrano has also been Adapted Out making her relationship with the Hood even more of a tenuous stretch, though she mentions later that he's a Retired Badass who would likely come out of retirement if Jeff were ever found. The Signals two-parter reveals that the Hood impulsively stole Zero-X and overloaded the engine, threatening to accidentally cause the end of the world, but Jeff got it out of the atmosphere and was seemingly killed in the explosion. It later turns out that the "explosion" was in fact an aftershock and Zero-X flew off in a random direction, meaning there is hope that Jeff is still alive.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_29a39f6	type	Easter Egg
Thunderbirds Are Go / int_29a39f6	comment	Easter Egg: John likes watching Stingray reruns, as indicated in the pilot, where he watches a snippet of the series' opening credits hologram-style in Thunderbird 5. Speaking of Stingray, the aquarium behind the living room that hides the access tube for Thunderbird 4 has a miniature of the sub swimming around in it. Which appears to be autonomous, as it's shown actively maneuvering it's way around the tank during the brief moment it's seen. One of the characters in the pilot is named Meddings, after Gerry Anderson's visual effects wizard Derek Meddings. (There was also a character called Meddings in the original version's pilot.) The doomed underwater research base in the pilot has a module resembling the nose of an Eagle transporter from Space: 1999. When FAB-1 sprouts wings and takes flight, it resembles Supercar. In the second season, Jeff Tracy's prototype Thunderbird is found abandoned in the ocean after it was sabotaged by the Hood years ago. It's called TV-21, which was the name of the publication that printed Thunderbirds comic strips in the 1960s. Inside, Gordon finds a hat of the same style that the team wore in the original series. In the second season episode "High Strung", Kayo flicks through several TV channels, which shows scenes from several episodes of the original series.

And in "Designated Driver", Parker mentions that FAB-0, a very old car, uses petrol (gasoline) like it's something unusual, meaning that's probably not used anymore either.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_401d4116	type	Broken Aesop
Thunderbirds Are Go / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The "don't be too over-reliant on technology" aesop of "Unplugged" is undermined by the fact that most of the Thunderbird's missions are only possible with their technology and the situation depriving them of the technology is due to active enemy attack instead of any inherent fault in the technology or arrogance on the part of the Thunderbirds. It's akin to chiding a pilot for being too reliant on his plane and not flying under his own power after it's been sabotaged. Though it could also be considered a Michael Crichton-esque lesson — "All tools can break; make sure you can fix or replace them. Any system can fail; make sure the first failure won't kill you." Alternatively: "Don't give up and lose hope just because the tools you rely on don't work anymore." Since Virgil seems particularly despondent when he learns that his gear isn't working, and needs Grandma Tracy to encourage him multiple times throughout the episode.

When the International Rescue team arrive, he creates further rule bothering because he hasn't received official clearances and that is against the rules too. He genuinely thinks he is doing what his employer wants by doing all that. At the end of the episode he's reminded of Rule Zero saying that all rules can be waived if there is an actual reason to do so, and then fired.

After a tussle between International Rescue and the Chaos Crew leaving Gordon severely injured, Brains finally uncovers what Braman's strange message is really about from Part 1: It's not just a random message about the situation on the colony ship he was on, but an SOS from deep space. An SOS using a call-sign and encryption that only International Rescue uses. The implication is clear: The believed long dead Jeff Tracy is still alive, and he's in danger somewhere in deep space.

Thunderbirds Are Go / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: Langstrom Fischler, too eager to push the bounds of science to give two hoots about safety concerns. Between his CIRUS balloon that crippled some of the Thunderbirds, an asteroid-mining attempt that nearly created a Meteor of Doom, and a Weather-Control Machine that went haywire, he's always getting into messes that the Thunderbirds have to get him out of. Moreover, he's not exactly eager to accept responsibility when things go wrong. Francois Lemaire, frequently going into dangerous, unexplored locations just to be the first on the scene, and for his long-suffering wife to add another chapter to his biography. After he is inevitably rescued from whatever trouble he gets in, he's often complaining that the Thunderbirds aren't more opulent.

Ned reappears again in "Undercover" as a "refreshment technician" (tea boy) for the GDF. Even then, things go wrong; during Parker's sting operation, he tries to deliver tea and cake to Mission Control at the least appropriate time, and accidentally gives a go signal putting a cake down on a button, blowing Parker's cover prematurely and setting the events of the episode in motion. He's reassigned to the GDF Arctic outpost for his idiocy.
