Thunderbirds are Go - 'Skyhook'

TB2 vs giant, flying pond skater

After an almost unprecedented fifty hours without disasters, the whole family are forced to turn out when a wealthy stormchaser's bid for a Darwin Award threatens to take two employees with him.

It's rare that you wonder why International Rescue bother, but this week it gets close, as the various flaws in the stormchaser's weather station threaten not only him and his team, but also the Tracy boys, delivering a static shock that knocks out TB2 and forcing John to subject himself to crushing G-forces, and all the while this genius criticises the perceived failings of others. I know he's a caricature, but if John doesn't space him, I wouldn't be surprised if Eos did, given her form as a maniacal supercomputer.

Oh yeah! Eos is back - we have actual continuity - and apparently making bets with TB5's life support system on how long he'll stick Earth gravity.

My questions about 'Slingshot' are not answered here. It is revealed that John travels to and from Tracy Island by space elevator (actually a pod on a winch with no ground station,) but unless Tracy mansion is much bigger than it looks, it's not quicker than Alan walking t his room.
