Can THUNDERBIRDS be super-cool without super-marionation'

Hey folks, Harry here... The more I see of Frakes' THUNDERBIRDS, the more excited I get. All good geeks love or at least get a smirk on their face when they think about THUNDERBIRDS and it definitely holds a rather special place for those that watched it and the other super-marionation shows of the era... or even caught the film in theaters. So far, Riker seems to be vibrantly translating the wood puppets into reality with color-soaked images and richness... I likey thus far. Check out what "the bad scanner" brought us from England!












Hey, Harry;                   

Don't know if this is of use, but the UK Daily Mail has a couple of pictures of the Thunderbirds team and Lady Penelope. Just sent them in because I wanted to be told that this isn't news or of any use by the talkbackers! Couldn't fit the pic at the bottom onto the scan but it's only the original wooden stars, rather than the new ones, so you're missing nothing!                         

If'n you print this, call me....The Bad Scanner!
