How now brown cow?...I release the cows every morning.

Would you be unhappy if they did not come back??


I'd be shocked if they came back!

Watching some of those episodes may make it hard for you to get to sleep.

Yes they can be very spooky at times..

I've been watching my Thunderbirds DVD's .... :-)

I got the box set of all the episodes last Christmas, with swap cards, and in a special embossed metal lunchbox!

It's important to never grow up in some respects ....

Cheers, Mike.

I just love the Thunderbirds' unique brand of physics. Like when the TB1 thrust is a minimum just before a landing, or there's less rocket activity with manoeuvring for TB3. Or the tunnel mole chews through the ground with nothing to react/brace against, or the nuclear reactor that blows up if more water goes into it. But that's the beauty of the fantasy, it's whatever the writers like. It's funny that I never really saw the puppet strings til when I was older and someone pointed it out! Probably the cleverest, of course, is all the pfaffling to get from the lounge couch to the pilot seat! Wallace and Gromit did a terrific rip off of that in A Close Shave, I think. :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) Not forgetting that they burn & blow up an entire set at least once an episode .... :-)

Last Night I watched an episode titled ' The Production and Decay of Strange Particle' Remember this written is in 1965. Some how these scientists acquired material from a quasar and bombarded it in a cyclotron. They opened up a hole in another dimension where these creatures consisting pure energy started to possess the staff. To make the story short the head scientist rigs a hydrogen bomb which explodes because of the interaction with the other dimension time reverses to point before the warp was opened. Of course the scientists theorized this at the heat of the moment.. No peer review here.. The Drama..:-)
I just love these things:-)

A perfectly sensible scenario. Makes sense to me. That sort of thing is probably happening all the time. You just never get to hear of it. The writers do make some occasional errors though, as we all know it should have been a synchrotron ..... ;-)

To become an adult again.. I was just wondering how the media at the time shaped culture with regard to science and technology.... To the point they put science and technology on a pedestal.. You don't have answer me.. I think I am discovering the answer...
