Thunderbirds are Go - 'Falling Skies', 'Relic'; and 'Breakdown'

Spidertank, Spidertank...

The Hood tries to destroy an orbital hotel built using Brains' new nanoconstruction methods. The boys go on a personal mission to extract their father's bestie from a defunct moonbase. And Virgil swings into action to rescue a driven researcher from a collapsing glacial cave.

Thunderbirds are Go continues to build on its world after the mid-season break, introducing the concepts of an ongoing search for new - or rather ancient - biopharma resources in a dwindling environment, and a labour market sufficiently slack that self-building space hotels aren't being occupied by angry shop stewards. There's not much more character work - the other brothers tease Gordon mercilessly about Lady P; Kayo's relation to the Hood is still a secret; we've yet to see the alleged Thunderbird Shadow in use - and no-one gets to flirt with Theresa Gallagher in these three episodes. I'm disappointed by the lack of Eos; it felt like she could have been a much-wanted extra female voice, if only technically. Still, Thunderbirds are Go continues to be a decent little action series.
