Apart from the recurring language, Excellent Review! I have to agree to you on many points! Regarding Sir Topham Hatt's shed, maybe he lost a bet to Ted, like what happened in one of your 2008 Christmas shorts! ;)
Love to see more of your reviews like this (if your main series is not up and running, for understandable reasons, I can at least enjoy these reviews close to nostalgia critic)!!! :D
Really good start for a review of the recent season of the series, I did stated of having seen the episode now that the storyline was alright, but isn't great. And honestly when I saw a farm shed that apparently TFC's shed.... HOW ON EARTH DID HE GET A BLOOMING SHED?! :O XP
The most practical way for Flynn to get onto the road in real life would be to use the Level Crossing, albeit his crew would have to remove the gates or something, but I think there are some cases where road and rail do meet like that.
I feel you on the who review Will...I'm not really satisfied with the new characters and Charlie is kind of pointless, let alone Flynn with a face like Buzz Light-year but that's my opinion. You're right about the plot, it has been run dry. Ooh Thomas Season 1-10, how I miss thee...jeez, the first Thomas episode I ever saw was "Thomas & The Guard" on my 4th birthday, lol. Nicely done on the review BTW dude :)
I can imagine. Hiro (after a few days): Err sir... when can I go home? Fat controller: Hmm let me see. Oh that's right... never! Hiro: But sir I don't belong here. My home is in Japan. Fat controller: Well it's tough Hiro, you're one of us now. Other engines: You're one of us now Hiro. Hiro: D:)
I have to say this after watching your review, and thinking about most of the CGI series...SIR TOPHAM HATT'S RAILWAY IS THE WORST DOGGONE RAILWAY TO LIVE ON!!! THAT PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN.
It's easy to criticise something when you're from the age group the episodes aren't really aimed at. Yes I admit the new writing is lacking but meh I've long accepted the new episodes are aimed at pre-schoolers. There isn't really anything in this I haven't heard before though I do like the "Does Hiro ever return home!?" :)
Good review. God, it sounds awful. I've been waiting to watch somthing new thats thomas related since Hero of the rails. I guess i'll have to wait yet ANOTHER year.
