TV: 'Thunderbirds Are Go' - 'Fireflash'

It perhaps says something when you have to start crediting the creators of the original series for the basis of your script.  The episode - the best so far - mashes up original pilot Trapped In The Sky and its sequel Operation Crash Dive, with reference to Alias Mr Hackenbacker (that episode only hinted they were going to land in the desert) and the 1966 Thunderbirds Are Go feature film (someone whom the Hood is disguised as is found in storage).  Speaking of the Hood, this brings his disguising up-to-date by replacing masks with holographic technology.  There is also an interesting twist on the Elevator Car climax to Trapped In The Sky (played out in a near Star Trek Into Darkness-ish homage with the score taking its cue from Barry Gray) in that the rescue attempt fails and it looks as though the new Tin Tin is willing to basically end up killing everyone in order to... save the day.  Despite the miniaturisation problems and the set design still looking like a cheap parody as opposed to the real thing, this is the most mature this remake has been yet.
