So Scott is in charge now ? And what happened to Mr Tracy ?

Hey, Mike,

Yes, Scott's in charge now, at least until we find out what's happened to his dad!

It's mentioned in the pilot episode that Jeff has been lost in some kind of accident. I'm guessing a crash, as organised by The Hood.

Also, the device that Gordon finds that was causing the earthquakes was emitting a similar signal to the one in Jeff's plane.

With over twenty more episodes to go in this first series, I think this will form an ongoing arc, until Jeff is either found, or we find out what's really happened to him.

Either way, I'm enjoying this new series. Hope you are too!

don't forget they green lit a second season.

After only a few episodes being aired ?

And to think, if Gerry Anderson had been able to sell the original series to the U.S. as he had planned, we would have at least three seasons instead of only two.

Ok according to the storyline Jeff and Kyrano were traveling somewhere and their plane went down under mysterious circumstances. No wreckage or bodies were found. They are listed as lost and presumed dead. As was mentioned a transponder just like the one from Jeff's plane was found by TB4 which was being used by the Hood to trigger the earthquakes in episode 1 & 2. It is believed that the Hood had a hand in Jeff and Kyrano's dissapearance. We will see if their fate is revealed in a second season episode.

I reckon jeff is alive and being held by the hoods people and is being forced to design crafts for the mechanic..

Unless they unveil some other super smart engineer guy as a rival for brains soon...

I think Grandma has him hidden somewhere after embalming him. She just couldn't let go.

Why is Scott in charge?
Aren't both John and Virgil older than he is?
