But it was good seeing Whiff and Rosie having a role and Harold covered in fairy lights was amazing too and the layout of Callan Castle giving that Scottish Highland look.<br /><br />But this episode is weak: 2/5NWR1991https://www.blogger.com/profile/17965545840841476681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586960588499710995.post-81902697953935042552012-03-07T22:21:40.377+00:002012-03-07T22:21:40.377+00:00Maybe so, but the Reverend Awdry showed that loads...Maybe so, but the Reverend Awdry showed that loads of life lessons could be learned by treating the engines like the machines they are and when they're doing their usual work. I seriously don't know why the writing team during Series 13-16 didn't try that a few times. It would've worked wonders if you ask me.<br /><br />Hopefully the new writers will be more Awdry-esque with their episodes.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586960588499710995.post-50934242438837547142012-03-07T20:25:28.292+00:002012-03-07T20:25:28.292+00:00I quite liked this episode glad Lord Callan's ...I quite liked this episode glad Lord Callan's castle appears again for 2nd time since Express Coming through this series, 0:00 I can see Hiro but which engine is that with him at start with him? Mavis or Diesel? No smoke so must be a diesel and not that colourful so must be one of them, also glad Whiff and Rosie got good parts Rosie only seems to speak once a series nowadays shame as I like her, Sodor Surprise day seems like an April's fools day or 29th Feb judging by the man giving flowers.0:19 93DOL YoutubeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586960588499710995.post-33557640556137238682012-03-07T19:50:08.218+00:002012-03-07T19:50:08.218+00:00I think the engines are seen more as children so t...I think the engines are seen more as children so that it relates to the target audience's lives. Preschoolers and Thomas learnt not to play surprises in dangerous or busy work environments. That's more important than railway realism.<br /><br />Harold covered in lights was cool! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
