  1. I'm not surprised SIF has been negative about these episode; the titles sound crap, and they will, more than likely, WILL be crap

    2. How can episodes with titles this bad possibly be good?

    4. In that context, it's supposed to be "its". And this is SHARON MILLER, where poor episode titles = poor stories, we're talking about, not Christopher Awdry, where "Thomas and his Friends" sounded bad but turned out to be quite good.

  2. Err, correction, everybody does! Thomas and the Rubbish Train and Percy and the Calliope sound average.

  5. - Flash, Bang Wallop? sounds crap

    - Thomas and The Rubbish Train: Sounds average

    - Thomas toots the Crows? (Please not another 'Percy's New Friends'

    - Bust My Buffers Nice to see they gave a well-known catchphrase an episode, but sound average

    - Percy and the Calliope - That sounds average.

    Well I don't how they'll turn out, but better to wait and see.

  6. What even is a Calliope? - and, hopefully, as it's suposed to be, these are the last episodes of brain-melting rhyming. The new writing stye is supposed to take over during the second half - these are the last episodes of crap

    1. A Calliope is a musical instrument that plays music through steam. As for the writing to changer halfway, the change is going to be in S17.

    1. Who cares if they are? Any episode with them in will be bad anyway (with the writing team that wrote S16 anyway)

  9. Hmmm....

    Flash Bang Wallop - Seems interesting ;)
    Thomas and the Rubbish Train - Again, sounds okay.
    Thomas Toots the Crows - Sounds terrible :(
    Bust My Buffers - Again, seems okay
    Percy and the Calliope - Seems bad.

    As with quite a few of the CGI episodes, they'll probably turn out to be bad :(

    Percy And The Calliope?

    "Calliope: A keyboard instrument resembling an organ but with the notes produced by steam whistles, used chiefly on showboats and in traveling fairs."

    Rather a long word for the current writers to use, no?

    This set of titles is far less promising than the last, but then again calliope is a rather large word for the current writers to use...

  13. Strange - no narrow gauge episodes. Possibly, Blue Mountain Mystery takes place before these episodes, and this season, like season 15, has been pushed forward?

    1. Your opinion, but sane fans must be watching a completely different CGI series than you are...
