Season 4 Episode 19: Henry And The Elephant

Thomas pulls up to a station where The Fat Controller is already waiting for him. He remarks on how reliable Thomas is. Thomas pulls away, feeling like a big shot.

Why do you feed his ego?

Meanwhile, the big engines are pissed about something.  Henry was angry about there being no site of Percy. James starts acting like the total ass he is and starts to tease Henry about doing something. He runs his mouth about it not raining.

Henry defends himself by informing James that is no longer the case and then calls James a clown.

Percy pulls up, making a weird face.

I don't why but, it strikes me as weird.

Percy tells the tale about how the circus is in town. He has been unloaded the circus trucks from the harbor. He also informs the other engines that The Fat Controller needs them to help too. 

When it was time for the circus to leave, Gordon and Henry started their roid rage once again. They were angered by the fact James was the one pulling it away.

Later that day, The Fat Controller tells Henry to take some workmen down to the tunnel to see why it is blocked. 

But, mom...

Henry pushes the workmen to the tunnel, all the while complaining. They stop at the tunnel and looked in. While in there, a roar chorused out and the workmen shuffled out.

The giant grey penis of Sodor.

The workman inform their foreman of what they saw. He immediately calls, bull shit. The men insist that they will not go back in. The foreman states that he will ride with Henry and push it out.

Henry is very upset by this plan. 

Why is everyone always picking on me?

Henry slowly heads in. The mystery creature begins to push poor Henry out. The creature revealed itself as an elephant and not the "Giant Grey Penis Of Sodor." 

My mistake.

The workmen gave the elephant cake and water. The elephant begin to calm down. But, Henry let off steam and the elephant squirted him. 

The elephant's keeper arrived and took him off. By that time, Henry was about to blow.

Hey ladies, would you like to ride my elephant?

That night Henry tells the story of how he was molested by an elephant. The other engines feel sorry for him but, still give him crap. But Thomas chirps in all guidance counselor, and cheers Henry up.

Henry is going to turn into a Emo.

Season 4 Episode 16: Thomas and Stepney

I have expectations for this one. I am expecting Thomas to be a jerk. (Crosses fingers)

Thomas is an unusually cheery mood this day. He stops to speak with Percy for a moment. Thomas immediately goes into how wonderful his branch line is. And the look on Percy's face is priceless.

Oh please, scrap me!

Percy bursts Thomas' bubble with information of another branch line that is just as awesome. It just so happens to be Stepney's BlueBell Railway. And even better, Stepney may come visit The Fat Controller's engines.

This turns Thomas into a jealous rage. (YES!) 

Build it up, buttercup.

Meanwhile with Thomas' new enemy, Stepney, we find that he growing bored on his line. It is a little short for him. He speaks to Rusty about his problem. Rusty pops out the idea to tell his driver about it and heads off. Stepney does just that and the driver agrees. 

Later that night, his driver breaks the news that they have been invited to visit the North Western Railway.  

I hope the driver models his scarf.

The next day, they set off on the long ride to see the other engines. 

The build up of Stepney visiting is the word on the street with the other engines. They talk all about him making Thomas' jealously grow bigger. Thomas grumbles and heads off to fetch his coaches.

As soon as Thomas leaves, Stepney arrives through the junction and at Knapford. The engines all cheer for him. Total Hottie Edward mentions he should met Thomas. (I wonder if Edward was an evil streak in him like me?)

Stepney heads over to help Duck shunt some coaches for the day. 

Later that evening, Thomas arrives and totally snubs Stepney. And rushes to do his last train.

I think Duck was waiting for it too.

Shortly after Thomas to take his last train, the alarm sounds to stop all trains. A special is coming and they need Thomas shunted off so it can pass through. Thomas grows angry at this and gripes. 

And low and behold it's Stepney!

I love it!

Morning arrives and Thomas still has a bug in his ass over Stepney. His sits in a siding, complaining like a teenager who has their phone taken away. Stepney pulls up along side and apologizes. (Why are you apologizing? It is hilarious!)

Stepney then explains that a special passenger approached them right after Thomas had left. He demanded a special train and Duck gave it to him. (Yeah, I am pretty sure that is not how it works.) Stepney then pads Thomas' ego by telling him he was nervous. 

Aw, thank you. And one day you, little Stepney, can be one a million little boy's t-shirts.

So with that, Thomas and Stepney became frenemies. 

Season 2 Episode 20: Percy's Perdicament

Daisy is working along Thomas' branch line. Interesting tidbit about Daisy, she is scared of bulls and cows and is still lazy. So, I better not call her a lazy cow. 

I can not unseen Kim Kardashian as a Diesel now.

One day, Toby and Henrietta Pussycat pull up next to Percy at the station. They find Percy rather grumpy shunting some trucks. Toby points out that Daisy still won't deliver milk. Poor Percy has to make an extra run to deliver it. Toby seeing that Percy is about to loose it offers to deliver it and Percy can take his trucks at quarry. 

Zombie sighting on Sodor!

Now, Percy is a new kid of the block when it comes to the quarry. Percy who still hasn't figured out that you can't bump trucks around angrily and he does just that. The trucks quit rightly this time, are furious. They go on about this being Toby's place and Percy has no right giving them smack. They chant, "Pay Percy out!"

This truck is terrifying.

Percy hooks up to some trucks. Those sneaky bastards, follow him quietly as to not arouse suspicion. 

Along the line, lays a sign.

Rabbit season!

Percy peeps for the guard to pin the brakes. The bastard trucks push Percy forward. The poor sap working at the crossing waved his flag at Percy to warn him. Percy ran right pass him, it was too late to switch him lines. Percy panicked rushes through the yard and kills a brake van that was parked on the line.  

It's though being a brake van on Sodor

The poor brake van is crushed. The only thing that remains is the base. Percy lands perfectly on that base though.

Cause he's all about that base

They let Percy sit there until the next day. The Fat Controller arrives to see his latest catastrophe on the railway. Toby and Daisy also arrive to help. As usual, The Fat Controller does not blame the trucks. It is all on Percy. He chews Percy out and whines about trying to run the branch line with just Toby and Daisy. The Fat Controller decides to let Percy sulk on the brake van until he is ready to take him off.   

And there is the reason I never liked you as kid.

But the chewing out isn't just reserved for Percy, Daisy gets one too. He shames her with the very useful bit and tell her that if she doesn't turn into his slave, she will be set away. But since Toby said she worked hard to clear the mess, she gets a second chance. 

The next day, Thomas came back from the works and Percy is sent off to have his turn there. See, The Fat Controllers' tantrum about having two engines was for nothing. I think the stress is getting to him. He already lost his hair.

We end with Daisy being schooled by Toby and everyone being good old buddies. 

But they didn't give Thomas a new brain. Not until season 8.

Season 2 Episode 19: Daisy

The Fat Controller introduces Toby and Percy to a hot little number named Daisy. You can tell by the sexy stripper theme she is given that she is pure sass. Daisy is going to be Thomas' temporary replacement. The Fat Controller wants the two of them to show Daisy around. 

You wait and see boys, the way I work those rails. Meow!

Toby and Percy show Daisy the engine shed. Daisy thinking she is classier then that disapproves of the horrid conditions. She swears the smell is bad for swerves. 

The two of them try to show Daisy the carriage shed. Daisy thinks it is better but, dislikes the rubbish that happens to be named Annie, Clarabel, and Henrietta. MEOW! Naturally, this insults the coaches. Percy and Toby end up hauling them away so, Daisy can have the shed to herself. 

The Kim Kardashian of Sodor, folks!

The next morning, Toby and Percy are exhausted. Daisydashian however is cheerful. She even exclaims, "Oooooooo Oooooooo" as she backs out of the shed. 

At the station, Daisy boosts to the passengers about how up to date and beautiful she is. 

The passengers wait for her to stop being vain and go but, nope. Daisy sees that a milk van is about to be coupled on her and freaks. She refuses and requests that Percy take it. When that doesn't work she begins to twerk.

Where's Robin Thicke?

All the twerking in the world, would not work on the driver. Daisy then lurched backyard and literally blew a fuse. The passengers and crew began to argue with her. But Daisy, has an excuse. She claims the fitter told her never to pull anything. She took that one right out of The Fat Controller's handbook. I seem to remember back in the first season, him claiming his doctor forbade him to do a lot of things. 

The passenger in the background sums it up perfectly. 

The Station Master calls her bluff. The Shunter says it best, "Why did The Fat Controller send us this feeble engine?"

That sets Daisy in rage. And guess what? She gets her way. They uncouple the van and she goes on her way. 

Daisy then realizes that she can get away with anything with that story. And so can The Fat Controller.

Season 2 Episode 18: Thomas Comes To Breakfast

We open with a montage of Thomas working his branch line. We better enjoy it because, just a hunch in the future he won't be working it so often. 

Thomas shows up at Tidmouth station. Thomas' driver foolishly tells Thomas that he knows just where to stop. Thomas doesn't need him. What a fool!

I'm going to regret this...

Thomas at his shed, starts to brag about how he doesn't need a driver anymore to Toby and Percy. They see right through Thomas bull. Toby states that Thomas wouldn't dare go off without a driver. But Thomas and his big head disagree. 

The next morning, the fire lighter comes in. Thomas makes the best face I have ever seen.

This is the best face mask they made for Thomas.

Apparently, this is the face of comfort. Thomas' face conveys the warmth of the fire oozing through his tank engine body. 

While Thomas is warming up, Toby and Percy are still snoozing away. Slackers! Okay, maybe I am being too harsh on Toby. He is an old man. 

Thomas suddenly remembers that he is now capable of driving himself and decides to show off. Thomas assumes he is moving himself although it is really because a cleaner messed up his controls. That was the last day of work for the cleaner.

The Fat Controller probably has been itching to fire someone anyhow

Thomas soon finds this out. He tries to "wheeeeeeesssh" and stop but, he could not do it. Thomas keeps on going and going and going and going....

At the end of the line, the station master's house was approaching. What the hell is it with the poorly planed buildings on this island? 

Why? 

The station master and family were about to eat some blue waffles and coffee, when disaster strikes. Thomas pulls a Duck and plows right into his kitchen. The wall crumbles at the force of Thomas. Thomas is stuck with plaster, blue waffle, and a bush on his face. 

They should sue The Fat Controller for putting their house there. The barber, no excuse.

Thomas for once, is left speechless. Understandably, the family is furious. The wife is more concerned though with her breakfast rather then the gaping hole in her house with a humanized tank engine peering in. 

Workmen arrive to prop up the house. Donald and Douglas also arrive to help. The twins pull Thomas out of the house so, the station master's crazy wife can eat breakfast in the rubble. 

Are you happy lady?

Once the twins have Thomas out, we find that Thomas is quite decorated. He has taken a good chunk of building materiel and a bush with him on his front. Thomas' buffers are also quit destroyed. 

Looks good to me.

The Fat Controller comes along and gives Thomas the lecture. I am not sure why? He should be on the cleaner's ass in reality. He should just call Thomas a dumb ass and call it a day. The Fat Controller sends Thomas to The Works and tells Thomas that he is sending in a Diesel Rail Car to fill in. Thomas is aghast from behind his bush. ;)

It's hard to speak when you're eating a bush.

Season 2 Episode 15: Better Late Then Never

Workmen were mending the viaduct, which was making life of Sodor pretty miserable for the engines. Like most construction projects they last forever. The Fat Controller, did not want to shut down his railway while it is being worked on. Which made repairs take even longer then forever. 

Just another 40 years...

The engines must be careful when crossing the viaduct. Even if it means being late. 

Thomas is being impatient at the junction while waiting for his connections. He thinks that Henry and James are just goofing off on the viaduct. 

Henry points out the truth. If they hurried the viaduct could collapse. Then his passengers will be gone. I find this hilarious. I worked for an airline for years. Thomas is just like those passengers who can't understand a mechanical delay on an airplane. Plane broken= Possible death

Thomas really doesn't care. He just states he wouldn't be late.

What do you mean there is weather in Denver, it is find here is Sodor?

Bertie was also impatient but probably not as rudely. His schedule ran so he would arrive after Thomas. This would meant his passengers would have little wait. With Thomas late, this was not true.

Thomas rolls on in. Bertie remarks about him being late. 

Not so fun the other way round, is it?

One day, James is running United Airlines out of Denver late. James for once is very polite when he arrives at Thomas' station. But good ol' Thomas chews him out. Before James could say anything else, Thomas smugly pulls away.

Thomas arrives at a crossing, there is Bertie. His radiator is ka-put. Thomas inquires about this. Bertie states the driver says it is no use, he is dying. He has one last request before he goes. Bertie asks Thomas to take his passengers. Thomas agrees and promises to get help at the next station.

Oh the agony!

Thomas heads down the line again. Seeing Bertie on the roadside dying made Thomas much more cheerful. I knew he was evil! 

Turns out Bertie was not dying because, when he had miraculous recovery he came to thank and apologize to Thomas about nagging him. 

But Thomas never apologizes to Henry or James....

Season 2 Episode 10: The Runaway

Thomas apparently has not been vaccinated because, he is ill. The Fat Controller, is going to have Edward take him to the works. 

Is Edward ill too? My Baby! 

The Fat Controller then has a talk with Duck. he wants Duck to help Percy and Toby in Thomas' place. Duck is so happy his eyes spaz out.

Duck makes great friends with Toby and Bertie. while he is working. He even meets Terence. Ducks is so happy to met the Tractor that his eyes really spaz out.

I wonder if something is going to go down? Duck has Thomas' and Percy's derp eyes.

Terence warns Duck to take care of Thomas couches or feel the wrath of Thomas. But, Duck being ever the gentle engine is wonderful with Annie and Clarabel. 

Thomas recovers from the Ebola or whatever he had and returns. Annie and Clarabel, tell Thomas about how wonderful Duck was. And Thomas, feeling so great forgets that he is a very jealous fellow.

Thomas was not as well as he first thought. They soon find that his brakes were left very stiff. Thomas seemed to have a hard on. This causes Thomas to over shoot platforms. It was very hard to perform correctly. Thomas found his performance most embarrassing. 

In and Out

After some very sexual wording of events, Thomas' crew gets the hang of it. But, as luck would have it Thomas fireman catches Jungle Diarrhea and becomes sick one day. A relief man comes in to take his place. 

I shouldn't have ate that green eggs and ham.

Thomas' crew and the station master wait on the platform for Henry to show with their connections. But oopsie, the fireman forgot about Thomas' hand brake. Oh the chaos, that will follow!

Thomas sits at the platform carefree. As Henry arrives, Thomas starts to loose his hard on and rolls off. Thomas tried to stop and whistle but, he was helpless without his crew. The crew and passengers stand at the platform picking their butts watching as Thomas heads for disaster.

Where's Michael Jackson and his popcorn?

Thomas flies down the line. Alarms were set across the line to stop the run run run runaway. But, who is going to help Thomas? Well, it is Harold. The Inspector had a plan. 

Thomas is beginning to wear out. As he approaches the next station, Harold lands. The Inspector bails out and like a cat on catnip jumps on board Thomas at the platform. And gives Thomas a hard on. 

Hard on!

Thomas finally stops. The Inspector insists that this will never happen again. And Thomas why why why why why wonders, why this was his fault?

My little runway. Run run run run runaway....

Season 2 Episode 3: Bertie's Chase

Total hottie Edward, is waiting at the station to gather Thomas' passengers. But, Thomas is later then United Airlines today. To pass the time, Edward's fireman breaks out into a song. 

I wanted to be a singer but, I got sucked into the black hole of Sodor.

The driver who is not Simon Cowell, tells the driver to stand on the cab and look for Thomas. Sounds like the perfect stage to me.

The fireman spots Bertie. And decides that he is no good and climbs down. Edward and crew, go ahead and leave.

Cause she's so hiiiiiiiiigggggggh above me!

But Bertie had Thomas' passengers. Bertie tried to get Edward's attention at the gates but, it was no use. Edward probably couldn't hear over the fireman's singing.

We find from Bertie's bus thoughts, that Thomas' fireman was hangover and did not come to work today. Bertie had agreed to take his passengers. 

Bertie goes on the chase.

I'll get that Edward and his little dog too.

Bertie reaches the top of hill and sees Edward stopped at a crossing. Bertie hurries down the hill. But hah, Edward puffs away has soon as he gets to the gate.

The passengers who for once aren't upset, say it is alright and wonder if they'll beat Edward to the next station. Bertie's driver says, "He'll try to make sure they do."

Chicks love my stashe and polka dot tie.

Bertie starts off once again to catch Edward. Bertie follows Edward through town, over bridges, and hills. Edward arrives at a station. 80's Ringo makes a surprise appearance at the station as a guard.  

They took away my drums and gave me a whistle.

80's Ringo blows the whistle and Edward's driver looks back but, the flag didn't wave. But, they hear a familiar "toot toot" and it ain't a gassy passenger. Nope it's Bertie. 

That station master explained to the crew what had happened. Edward apologizes for going all Gordon on Bertie. And Bertie, says it was his fault. Edward puffs off and Bertie sets off to tell Thomas the great news because, we must shoehorn Thomas in.

Just wait until later seasons when we hardly appear.

Thomas thanks Bertie and calls him his BFF. And we end our story without another song from the fireman. 

Yes, I was shoehorned in.
