The bomb wasn't the source of the radiation, the plane's own reactor was. And yes, it is completely absurd that an airliner supposedly advanced enough to stay in the air for months at a time can't delay it's landing for more than a few hours without killing everyone aboard. The original episode was far superior but let's not pretend it was any better in terms of plausibility.
I haven't seen it for years but at least you agree it was superior
Just how does giving a female character more prominence "tarnish" the original episode? The original one is still there for you to watch. I assure you it hasn't magically changed.
You seem to be so slavishly devoted to the original series that you seem to think the new version should even keep it's faults. The fact that Tin-Tin was superfluous to the plot of the original episode - she doesn't even appear onscreen during the actual rescue- wasn't a good thing.
That's not what i was saying. i was saying this remake would have been much better if it was more like the original and the crew were trying to land the Fireflash at an airport ...without all the obviously contrived feminist angle.
Yes, clearly it is an evil feminist agenda to emasculate the male characters. Despite the fact that Kayo isn't even in some episodes, and we've had episodes focused on Scott, Virgil and Alan. It couldn't possibly be because TV has better standards now when it comes to writing women. Or that the original series was often sexist, with it's attitude towards women drivers, Lady Penelope being terrified of mice or Jeff Tracy fretting about sending Tin-Tin on a mission even though he doesn't hesitate to send his own sons.
Nobody's saying there's a feminist agenda to emasculate men in this new Thunderbirds but there obviously is a feminist agenda in this and many other new films and tv series coming out. as i've said the whole Fireflash episode was so contrived so she could take control of the Fireflash and it would have been much better if they'd saved this action heroine's antics for another episode instead of spoiling the Fireflash one. it was obviously done as the Fireflash episode is one of the most famous T Birds episodes ....if not the most famous.
50% of which are female!!!!!! I'm sure they don't mind being brainwashed into believing that they can be hero(ines) too.
So you admit there's probably a bit of brainwashing going on then? i bet most of the kids watching Thunderbirds will be boys anyway so the subtle brainwashing probably won't affect many females anyway. crap like this is what's ruining tv. it's the same thing with Dr Who where they have rubbish like changing the Master into a woman.

WOW...Just wow at the idiocy contained in this post. There are just no words...did you even read what you wrote. Do you really think that the only view that is important or should be told is one of a Caucasian male in his mid to late 50's.
Wake up. The world has changed. Not literally. Women and people of color have always existed but now corporations are acknowledging their presence. Do you really think that's a bad thing.
Oh and I'm sure the poster will agree that there was brain washing if you can agree that the exclusion of women as anything other than an appendage to a male and people of color period was a type of brain washing. One that clearly worked because here you are somewhere between the age of 50-60 bemoaning the fact that the entitlement and ignorance behind the notion of the white male savior is being dialed back to reflect actual society. Meh, I'm sure you won't get it.
Grampa go each more cheetos and get your afternoon nap. You are such a downer when you miss it.

I think most people would WOW at the idiocy in your post you moron. people aren't saying the show should just be a "Caucasian male in his 50s" thing. they're saying it would have been better if it was more like the original episode where the crew tries to land the plane at an airport and it would have been much more dramatic without the thing with Kayo, which was so obviously contrived [especially the way everyone else was knocked out by the gas] to put the female action heroine in a prominent episode with the famous Fireflash. and i'm afraid to disapoint you but most of the people watching the show will be boys and older men who grew up with the original series.
