They are airing 9 episodes, the last 8 will be aired at a later date.

Likely fall 2019. That's how it was when season two was airing.

It's from a video on Digital Spy, which is pretty hard to get to but I recorded it on my phone.

Stingray gets a minor appearance this week

[ZariusTwo]

Loved today's episode. One for "SKY Oceon Rescue" fanatics with it's message about how the Great Barrier Reef was undone by too much pollutants and now a similar fate is befalling the supreme barrier reef. Nice to see Penelope so vulnerable when Gordon was in trouble. She really does love him, but she's too stubborn and aloof to tell him.

[Vicky82]

Yeah loved it, it was great to see Gordon get a lot of focus. And we finally get to see Gordon suit up and TB4 launch.

Braman is in next week's episode.

Great episode, though if it weren't for the ending you would'nt think it was a two parter at all. Liked the little nods to the original Alien movie, and Scott is mistaken for Jeff...I wonder if he'll resemble an older looking Scott when we meet him. I like that Braeman also quotes different things every now and then in between delivering the SOS.

Gordon's B plot was hilarious, I like that Parker already thinks of Penelope as Gordon's girlfriend. I think everyone, Penelope included, kind of know that's what they are now and Gordon's not yet resigned to outright stating it officially. He's weird that way.

[Vicky82]

Yeah I really enjoyed it but as i've read the episode description for SOS part 2 it seems the episode is going to be a lot more serious than part 1.

(don't read the spoilers if you hadn't read the episode description)

Spoiler:

Gordon travels in Thunderbird 4 to recover Braman but discovers that the Chaos Crew have gotten to the robot first. An underwater battle ensues and both Thunderbird 4 and Gordon are harmed

So this is the reason why Gordon had a funny subplot in part 1 because he gets a beatdown by the Chaos Crew in part 2.

Also there is another 2 parter coming up after this called Signals. I saw it on digiguide but then it got removed but I did a screenshot.

[ZariusTwo]

That second part was more intense than the first...it's alarming to think just last week Gordon had a comedy side-plot, and this week he's in intensive care with severe injuries

Still, it's awesome that Penelope ended up rescuing him. In some ways it's a resolution to how helpless she had felt back in "Deep Water", this time she wasn't going to stand by while her man was in trouble. Their little exchange at the hospital was quite tender too. I hope we get a big damn kiss between the two by season's end.

About the only interesting with the Chaos Crew was how one of them showed concern for Gordon (possibly sowing the seeds for them to turn on The Hood if he goes too far?), aside from a big old boring chase that ended in the big plot device being conveniently dumped back in IR's lap, there wasn't much else of note with them other than getting the better of Gordon...it's a shame as that made them look just a little more dangerous

[Vicky82]

The episode was amazing, the score was breathtaking. Favourite episode so far.

But OMG!!!!! it was so heartbreaking seeing Gordon injured. I reckon it was homage to his hydrofoil crash backstory from the original show.

Loved that Penny helped rescue him, also loved those other little moments with Penny holding his head in her lap and touching his hair and later when he was awake they held hands.

I hope thee two become official by the end of the show.

More fun with giant space lazers in this week's episode

Yep and Lee Majors voices Jeff Tracy in this episode too but I think it's just from flashback footage.

Stakes must be pretty big for IR to try and deceive the GDF.

I wonder if it's because the Tracy's are taking a small hiatus from rescuing people and the GDF have taken over.

I expect if the GDF find out that the Tracys are doing the detective work on looking for there father, they probably think it's a wild goose chase and they probably think they've wasted their time and resources in rescuing people, when it's the Tracy's job.

Also maybe the Tracy's want to keep it quiet, so it doesn't get spread all over the media and get people's hopes up.

[Vicky82]

So that's why, they didn't want the GDF to know, there's a spy. My main suspect is Rigby but it probably end up being a random person that we don't see.

Great episode, I was surprised that Jeff's been missing for 8 years, no wonder Alan was starting to forget him when he mentioned him in Life Signs.

[ZariusTwo]

"Signals" carried on from last week, Gordon's still in a bad way (and was torturing Parker with chores...Parker eventually stopped caring though), and there was archive footage of Jeff Tracy intercepting The Hood on board the Zero X (you could hear Lee Majors, but not see Jeff's face).

Have to admit, wasn't the biggest fan of the aging Majors' voice for Jeff...sounded too laboured.

Were Virgil and Penelope...flirting? They seemed quite chummy piloting T2.

Kayo mentioned her father...he's apparently retired, will Kyrano appear in the final episodes when Jeff is recovered?

Havoc made off with Thunderbird 3 at the end and GDF property was destroyed as a result of the Tracy' family's investigations, either way, they're all in the doghouse.

[Vicky82]

The 2nd part of Signals was great, It was pretty intense.

So Brains is going to build a 2nd Zero X so they can go save Jeff. It will be awesome to see all the Tracy Bro's going to save there Dad.

Looks like it will happen in the 3rd half as there are 3 episodes of the 2nd half left, Chain Reaction, Getaway and the Brandon Brandon Berrenger episode.

[ZariusTwo]

I absolutely loved the little Kayo/Alan moment we got with Kayo teasing Alan about losing his keys

[Vicky82]

Another great episode today a lot better than Crosscut.

Had some character development with Scott saving Fuse and telling Marion that everyone is worth saving because in season 2 final Brains vs Brawn he didn't want to save the Hood from the Mechanic.

It looks like Fuse might be turning to the good side, after he was saved by Scott, he helps them escape the nuclear power plant and leaves the uranium behind.

Funny moment with the popcorn, Scott leaves it on the table, hoping it doesn't go anywhere but Virgil ends up taking it and eating it in TB2.

The Shackleton Beast was actually a transport buggy.
