Alan Tracy

He’s the youngest in the family and a bit immature, but how old is he? Is he still a teenager?

Why isn’t he at school? (In the live action feature film he is).

Does he have a thing for Lady Penelope?

Does he have a thing for Tin Tin?

Why is he all sulky?

Why do they all treat him like a baby?

Why is he always on the space station when being on the space station is important? Poor John…

Why can we hear engine sounds of Thunderbird 3 when it’s in space?

How clever is Alan to land T3 so precisely on the landing pad?

Launches

Given that for most of the time IR launch their craft to go and rescue people, people who are in an emergency situation, where every second counts, why do the launches of the Thunderbird craft have to be so slow and complicated?

Why can’t Scott just walk along a bridge straight into T1 and take off? Why does it have to go down a long slope before it is in position?

What can’t T2 be selecting the required pod before Virgil arrives? Why does he have to go down a maze of slopes?

You know, this kind of thing:

Three minutes at least wasted.

And how does it get up to flying speed in such a short distance?

And what’s all the nonsense of sofas on poles for T3?

Surely it could all be made quicker?

Thunderbird 2 can take off vertically, so why does it have all the ramp business?

Why do they always wear the same clothes just before they fly?
