Season/Series 3 Review

What can be said about Season/Series 3? Well the crashes were not as spectacular as prior seasons for one thing. Before we saw damage in the crashes, this season it was very mild. Which was budget issues in all fairness.

For example, Oliver looks pretty unscathed but, he was sent to The Works.

With our characters this season, some of them are starting to loose their edge. Thomas is becoming less of a jerk and more of the good guy. Percy is slowly dumbing down. Henry is suddenly a tree hugger. 

We did though get introduced to some new ones that I enjoy. Mavis, Oliver, Toad, and Bulgy. 

Mavis being a favorite.

I did enjoy the 2D animation that was thrown in this season. The bee scene with James was great. 

All and all it was a pretty good season. And I know it will be looking even better when I get pass Season 7. Season 8 is where the snark is going to go over and beyond. 

Just to note, I actually still enjoy this show.  But, I like to make fun of those things I like. I am loving looking back on these stories and remembering them. The work and the talent that went into this series is amazing. Even looking back on the original books, that took imagination. I truly appreciate the talent in took to bring this characters to life.

With that I leave you and tomorrow we'll dig into Season 4. We will meet the Narrow Gauge Engines, Stepney, and a postal postal worker. And we will also see elephants, more cows, The Queen, and The Flying Kipper return.

Season 3 Episode 23: Bulgy

It is a special holiday on Sodor. You know how I know?

BAM!

Duck is at the station waiting for his next assignment. Near the station stood a ugly mean looking double decker bus. Duck innocently tries to be polite to the bus but, this bus is a jerk. He insists that all railways will be ripped up one day. This turns Duck red.

Does this mean engines' have blood? I am thinking too hard about this.

Duck heads off to the junction and he tells Oliver all about the bus. Oliver states that he calls him, "Bulgy." He then heads off. 

Later that afternoon, Duck and Oliver meet again. This time Oliver is the one who is angered by Bulgy. Oliver explains that Bulgy's friend has come to help and Bulgy is stealing their passengers. Bulgy is stealing the passengers by knowing a short cut to the big station. 

It just got real Duck.

That evening, Duck and Oliver are readying for the evening trains. Duck takes notice that the passengers are missing. Oliver points out that Bulgy has them. That bastard even had a sign that said, "Railway Bus" on his side.

I feel like Bulgy ate them.

Bulgy heads off and Duck follows to see what Bulgy is up to.

While on his line, Duck sees a man on his line waving a red flag. Duck stops and sees Bulgy stuck under the bridge ahead. 

And I don't wanna ever feel the way I did that day.

The passenger outside the bus scream at Duck about how they have been tricked. Duck's crew takes a look at the bridge and decides to chance it to take care of passengers. 

Duck crosses the bridge slowly on top of Bulgy. Bulgy rightfully so is in fear for his life. But who cares really? He is a butthole. Duck continues the route and is a hero. 

The bridge was mended and Bulgy was sent to be a chicken coupe. He lives a life of being pooped on. Just like how he pooped on the engines. 

Karma!
