I'll add to this and say that the Nelvana Rupert animated series is everything what I hoped Joe 90 would be, except for the lack of cool vehicles but that's more than made up for by the high stakes world ending danger as well as the fact that the kids get to act like real kids instead of caricatures

tfw Super ED is the closest the classic series came to ever adapting James & the Diesel Engines

Its hard to deny however the impact that individuals like Shane Rimmer and Tony Barwick had on both shows. Whether or not Shane could have stepped up to write some actual Thunderbirds scripts is a tantalising prospect that has lingered in the back of my mind. A 30 something year old boy can dream...

Was it the right call to stop making Thunderbirds and switch to Captain Scarlet? Would you rather see a third series of Thunderbirds but not have Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons? Or was 32 television adventures enough?

Tbh its hard to say for sure what would have happened had Thunderbirds continued but given series 2 was always commissioned to be 6 episodes I think Lew and Gerry were just about burned out on Thunderbirds being a monthly scheduled production, and maybe they saw the UA movie deal as a breather.

Series 2 plots felt like running on fumes after Alan Fennell left the studio, idk. But Alan Pattillo wouldn't have left if not for The Mysterons confounding him as a concept. I think Lew Grade had right idea, wrong execution. Not a feature film; instead 1 Made-for-TV movie/year side by side Scarlet.

my favourite thing about Supercar is the fact they straight up yanked the robots from Fleischer Superman's Mechanical Monsters short.

Picture of TEXAS TEENS VICTORIA OU AND JUSTIN HUANG WON $50,000 FOR CREATING A PEN-SIZED ULTRASONIC DEVICE THAT SUCCESSFULLY REMOVES MICROPLASTICS FROM WATER USING SOUND WAVES.

2 teens have developed a groundbreaking ultrasonic device that removes microplastics from water.
The pen-sized device uses sound waves to effectively filter out microplastics, which are notoriously difficult to remove from water sources, & can be used in large-scale water filtration systems!

Wanta bet?

Repeating for bksy. Matchbox circa 1988 looks at the shrinking range of steam locos and says "Why not do all the diesels next?".
They release Diesel (with 7 plank) BoCo (With L&B van) and Daisy (with milk tanker)
Toby (with Henrietta) sneaks in under the excuse of looking like a diesel anyway.

All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity Finding working copies of the last few titles was an “especially cursed” journey.

One of the coolest video game preservation stories I have ever covered arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/...

The wonderful creation that was the Metro Cammell class 101. Once a common sight in many regions, their usage was widespread. Very much looking the part in Regional Railways livery seen heading through Abergele and Pensarn.

Do not disturb: Otterly exhausted

Youth - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Gustopher watches the sun set. Above him the stars have started coming out. Regret slowly begins to set in as he comes to appreciate how fleeting life is. Gustopher: Have I wasted my youth? Panel 2 The world grows dark as Gustopher contemplates how little time any one individual actually has. The world is so full of beauty and wonder and there's so little time to truly appreciate it. Gustopher: The seasons change and so do I. If only I understood the value of days gone by. Panel 3 August is standing next to Gustopher and gives him a concerning glance. But he knows exactly what this is about. Panel 4 August: School starting makes me sad too. Gustopher: I wish I played more video games.

Youth - Gator Days

Japanese titles for "Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" (1967).

Yo I still need Trainz modellers. If y'all need any more incentive, here's a sneak peak of the script page

baffling that you seem to think the general populace is responsible for any behaviour/retaliation from oppressors.

it's coercive, controlling and a classic abuse tactic to believe that survivors on any scale of turmoil should never fight back.

i hate civility politics omg lol be serious. go away

talk to me about 3D models

one such example of what I'd like modelled for a story

TTTE modellers cometh to me
I am in need of the 3D assets that will satisfy the ancient prophesy
Reach me in pms all ye who scoff at peril and vertices

It be the concern of all who wish the architect of my latest project to fulfill his appointed task!

Stanley from the Mid Sodor puffing hard with the last goods train of his career.

At last the whistle stop tour has ended, with Bloomer poking the bear once too often. No.2's story lives in infamy, but now hear straight from the Iron Horse's mouth how Stanley really ended up!

"Can it" would be "La ferme", I think "Shut up" for "Ta gueule" is more appropriate
