Season 2 Episode 1: Thomas, Percy, and The Coal

Alright, time to dig into season/series 2! We find Thomas puffing on his branch line on such a beautiful day. Thomas goes right along into the station where Toby and Percy are waiting. 


Shh! Thomas is coming, he mustn't know we're talking about him

Toby and Percy compliment Thomas on how lovely he looks. This turns Thomas into a blue version of James. Thomas insists that blue is the only proper color for an engine. Toby and Percy, just laugh it off and this throws Thomas off. The only thing Thomas can do is throw his color around and puff off. 

Later in the day, we find Thomas "resting".

My eyes always do that when I am "resting".

Just a side question here, it seems that Thomas' eyes seem to derp out a lot in these early episodes. Was there a defect in his model? Has this ever been noted? 

Back on subject, Percy arrives while Thomas is "resting". Percy has some hoppers to fill. Unfortunately for Percy, Thomas is still being a James. 

Percy backs up one at time with his hoppers after they are filled. The buffer do not stop him on the last hopper. Or that is what they say.

Judging by Percy's smile, I think he did it on purpose.

The last load pours down without a hopper to go into. Burying James, err Thomas in coal dust. Thomas pleads for his life as he is being choked to death by Percy's revenge. Percy gives a good, "muhaha". and tells Thomas, "He looks very disgraceful."

I am not touching that joke.

Thomas is then dugged out of the pile in a unseen scene. We then find Thomas being washed down. It took so long to make him beautiful again that he couldn't take his next train. Toby came to take Annie and Clarabel for him.

Thomas has an angry face and a wacky eye, watch out!

That night, Thomas was grumpier then a opossum in a strip club. Tensions were high in the shed that night. Toby thought the day's incident was hilarious.  While Percy was ticked that Thomas thought he did it on purpose. (Well we did see that smile...)

The next morning, Thomas bucked up. He watched Percy bring his trucks from the junction. They were a little too much for Percy to handle and he was pooped. Percy's driver suggests the best remedy, "Have a drink."

The water column was by the unsafe buffers. And for some reason Percy couldn't stop because, why not? The buffers also failed because, why not?  Percy went through the buffers and into some coal. 

Oh no, it's Karma's ugly head.

Instead of being decent, Thomas who had seen everything laughs about Percy learning his lesson and puffs off. I really don't think Percy needed to learn a lesson. Thomas was being the big jag off here. 

But whatever, that night the two of them hugged it out. The end!

Is it just me or does Thomas look more youthful. And now, Percy is flipping out with the crazy eyes!
