THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO
All of Gerry Anderson's shows were supremely comfy, but for me, it's Captain Scarlet
BA DUM
BUM BA BA DA DUM
There's a really jazzy version of the theme I can only sometimes find on youtube. That plus the UFO suites are Barry Gray's best.
Richest man in the world Jeff Tracey moves to a remote private island with his 5 accomplished early 20s sons
People must think so much child rape happens on that island
98' zoomer here, i grew up on this and the three stooges
2 and 5 are probably the only actual useful Thunderbirds. 1 and 3 are just fucking rocket ships
"Say, Tin-Tin, have you seen pops around?"
"Oh, he's just showing that Jeffrey fellow around again."
"Again? Boy, I still haven't recovered from last time."
Hard cut to a nuclear powered hydrofoil about to slam into Big Ben.

5 doesn't really do anything that couldn't be done from the island though. Its mostly just a call centre, and place to lock up your ,more problematic team members
He's just like me fr fr.
Pretty sure 3 is specifically for space shit and being a shuttle up to 5.
1 is just a fucking fighter jet.
did you forget about 4
2>3>4>1>5
4 can't even do anything without 2
4 is just a glorified pod vehicle. It should have been more of a mobile command center or like Skydiver from UFO
Ok cool. It's still higher than 1 and 5.
2 is so kino. I used to have a toy of it
It has its own very special episode and travels across the Pacific in the Empire state one
look at our rockets and space stations
I have a pink car that can shoot guns
TBirds BTFO
Yeah because 2 got shot down and was still smouldering when it left.
And it had to catch a ride with the ship that shot 2 down to get there in time.
Saved this one for my children
Serves me right for being a phone poster i guess
Very neat. Funny how this design is so front heavy with such small wings that I really doubt something like that wouldn't just instantly nosedive after takeoff
Holy based
We need a live action Anderson movie universe
Thunderbird 2 can't do anything without landing to refuel and resupply at Tracy Island from time to time. That doesn't make Thunderbird 2 part of Tracy Island. Likewise while Thunderbird 4 relies on Thunderbird 2 for support it is independent of Thunderbird 2 during normal operations.
4 is probably more useful than 1 and 3. They're just rockets
1 is essentially a scout ship, its job is to arrive on the scene ahead of the slower moving 2 and assess the situation. 5 is an actual space ship.
Something something lifting body, something something nuclear reactor in the back.
I think I saw a documentary once where they compared it shape wise to a Bumble Bee
I don't think I ever saw an episode where 3 did fucking anything
If you have 5 you need 3.
Thunderbird 5 would unquestionably be the most important within the context of realpolitik but in the context of international rescue Thunderbird 2 absolutely fucking mogs everything else.
There's an episode where a space probe is falling into the sun and 5 has to rescue the crew before they boil alive
2 is insanely useful on its own. 2 and the pods vehicles? Forget it, no contest.
irl Thunderbirds flying over my house for Air Force academy graduation
Too bad it's cloudy
Still hype tho
