Are people completely brain dead or what? There's not going to be a 2020 Olympics... Nore should there be, for a variety of reasons... 1. COVID 19 2. Fukushima Daiichi 3. The Olympics are not only a total waste of money, but perpetuate the notion of competition. Which is now getting so passe. 4. Everyone on this beleaguered planet needs to start thinking about the very serious threat of the Sixth Mass Extinction, which contrary to general belief (hubris), is as much of a threat to our own species and its civilisaton, as it is to all other species cohabiting this planet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Humans! - Either drunk on hubris, stoned on hopium, or in a coma of faith and mostly oblivious to oblivion*

I have seen all episodes of the original countless times, and think back to them often, but I am so pleased that this back story stuff is being released to add just another level to the life and times of the Tracey's. I mean we knew that The Hood and Kyrano were linked, but not in this way. Thanks to Jamie Anderson for continuing with The Thunderbirds for further generations. Good to see that the times of reality is finally catching up.

Why is it *absolutely incredible* ? It's a fictional story FFS! Nothing absolute or incredible about it. . Don't get me wrong, I've been watching and loving Gerry Andersons creations for well over half a century... Yes, I had all the original Palitoy creations from Supercar (aged 2) Fireball XL5, Stingray, (aged 3-4 yrs) then all the Thunderbirds and Dinky FAB 1, (aged 6 - 7), then all the Capt Scarlet Dinky/Corgi vehicles -- SPV, Spectrum Patrol, Angel Interceptors (aged 7-8). Then the Joe 90 car (aged 9) then the UFO moonbase interceptor and Mobiles... (aged 11-12) The only reason why I didn't get the Space 1999 'Eagle' spaceship, was because I'd joined the Royal Navy and kinda grew-out of toys, which might have undoubtably affected my 'deck credibility'.... . So, no... Not *absolutely incredible* that someone has taken the trouble to present a backstory to our favourite shows, just par for course here on KZitem, albeit gratefully received. (I've subscribed, but only for mild entertainment and fond memories...). GET A GRIP !

(Not that this matters, I'm sure these events can be transplanted to whenever people prefer to set it.) Thunderbirds Legends is such a cool name for this by the way.

Honestly if you read any printed material from the annuals you get alot if conflicting information! One even had John and Gordon listed as the same age (you can find that page reprinted in a picture in 'The Vault' on page 52 - they're both listed as 22 and no birthdays which could imply they were twins if you never picked up any other material on the show) and there even was a matchbox car set that had John listed as the youngest and not Alan. They either weren't consistent with what info they gave out, there were alot of typos/misprints (which is common in the old novels) or some companies making merch that didn't really care enough (I assume it's a combination of all three) super fascinating how much conflicting stuff exists. Even in the guide for the live action film and the 2015 one there's Alot of typos - I guess it's to keep us on our toes! (Actually in the live action movie one it has Virgil listed on TB5 and not John... it's actually quite hilarious)
