I just watched the Martian Invasion episode of Thunderbirds, the 60's era marionette science fiction show that I loved as a kid (the episodes are on DVD now - I rented this one from Netflix. While the character movement is as stilted as I remember, I still can get into the cool models that made up the sets and vehicles, and Thunderbird 2 is still the coolest of the Thunderbirds craft.
