This morning I happened to be flipping around and caught a local station playing 'Countdown to Disaster' which is one of the full length movies that was done by the Thunderbirds Troope. I always enjoyed the show, and watching it this morning made me remember why. Quite well done, quite intelligent scripting, and the special effects are very effective. Here is a show that really was done right. Unfortunately, it was playing against the 49er's so I didn't see it all, but it was a hard decision to actually turn the channel. I only with I'd caught it early enough to videotape it... chuq -- From the center of a Plaid pentagram: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA ~But you know, monsieur, that as long as she wears the claw of the dragon upon her breast you can do nothing-- her soul belongs to me!~
