Season 3 Episode 16: Edward, Trevor and the Really Useful Party

Wow, that is a long title. It better be a really useful party if I had to type that all out. 

Trevor and Total Hottie Edward are at the orchard. Trevor is all excited to tell Edward some news. 

Gee,I wonder what it could be? Old men like to talk about politics and the state of the current generation. That must be it! 

Oh nope, The Vicar is having a Garden Party and Trevor is going to be the star! Edward wants to help with the party but, he is stuck with his rails. Bummer...

I'm going to be a star!

Edward goes along working but, bummed. Poor Edward really wants to help. His driver tries to reassure him that he is useful on the railway and that's awesome. But Edward, still has his doubts. 

The next day, Edward meets up with Trevor again. This time it is Trevor's turn to be a worrying old man. It seems The Vicar forgot to put up the posters for the Garden Party. (How is Yoko suppose to bring her walrus?)

Edward has an idea. He'll have himself plastered with posters. 

It is like when people tattoo McDonalds themselves for free Big Macs.

Before anyone gets too excited about this, it has to be run across The Fat Controller first. The Fat Controller is more then happy to agree. Perhaps, he wants to go to get cotton candy?

Edward goes station to station spreading the word of the party. Passengers are all, "Woo party!" and say, "We must go to that. There's nothing else to do. Woo!"

Later that day, Trevor is taking an old man cat nap when Bertie The Bus pulls up. Bertie wakes Trevor up and calls him old. Trevor is too occupied with party to notice and tells Bertie all about it. Bertie states he'll be there. This gives Trevor anxiety over competing with bus rides.

Yeah because, everyone loves riding the bus.

It's party day! Unfortunately, it had rained the night before and the ground is soft and muddy. Trevor doesn't care though. He's made for it. 

At the party, Trevor gets to work pulling carriages of children. While turning a corner, he runs into Bertie. Bertie explains he dropping off some people because, Edward's idea was A+.

Trevor turns around and heads back. And he finds Bertie once again. This time though, he's stuck.

Like I said, everyone loves to ride the bus!

Terrence pulls a Fat Controller and pops out of no where. He jokes about Bertie taking his job of plowing fields and then pulls him out with the help of Trevor.

Out of nowhere!

In the evening, The Vicar finds Edward and his driver to thank him for the advertising. Edward is now happy with himself. And Trevor is sleeping dreaming of the children, again.

I feel like if Trevor was a human, he would have a Duggar size family.

Season 3 Episode 9: Henry's Forest

Finally some Henry action! Oh, it involves tree hugging. Ah, how cares? I'll take it!

Henry loves trees. His favorite place is the forest. His crew takes him on special rides to the forest so Henry can hippy out. 

Henry takes in the fresh tree scent and animal doo doo smells and reminisces about how he and the gang helped plant some new trees. It was a lovely time. 

Ah yes!

As luck would have it, a storm rolls in one day. The engines are in the shed for the night. Thomas and Toby discuss how the wind is a howling. James butts in with some Gordon ass kissing about it sounding like him and the express. Henry meanwhile, just cries about the wind possibly damaging his trees.

What a sad whittle face. 

Morning time arrives and Henry finds out the forest has been destroyed. His driver informs Henry that Donald and him are going help clean it up. This breaks Henry's heart as they head off with the breakdown crane.

Henry arrives at the disaster scene and takes in the scenery. He is taken back at the destruction. He starts to boo hoo about the animals. Henry is about to get all Betty White on us. 

Hurry, someone get to the hobby shop and buy some trees!

Henry takes a train of logs to the lumber mill. There Thomas and Toby are waiting. They observe that Henry is in a deep depression seeing his trees being sawed apart. Toby and Thomas, are moved by this display of tree affection by Henry. They state they really want to help him.

Toby heads back to the sheds, where of course The Fat Controller is waiting. They discuss Henry's mourning. The Fat Controller declares, he'll set it right and has Toby take some trucks to the forest. 

This of course is part of my PR plan!

Turns out these trucks are full of wee little baby trees. Toby gleefully takes them to the forest. Toby exclaims, "This is the best job I ever had!" (The tree hugging has gone to Toby)

Henry returns to see what is happening. He is so shocked that he makes that face your grandma makes when she smiles without her dentures. He sees Trevor and Terrence working on planting the new trees.

Get the applesauce!

Henry now visits the forest and sees the saplings growing up. The animals that he and Betty White love so much are coming back to the forest. Henry is now out from his black veil.

Even Bambi visits.

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....

The End Of Season/Series One.

So, what did we learn from Season/Series One? Well, I learned that The Fat Controller is a slave driver. I also learned that Engines talk and have faces. 

What a scary world this would be to live in!

I wanted to do something at the end of each season/series different to give a little recap. Since this season/series has probably the less characters in it, I thought I would run through and give an idea to which this characters stand with me.

Let's start...

Thomas

Thomas is a hard one for me to like or dislike. He is far from a favorite of mine but, I do like his general jerkiness in the early seasons. Unlike now, where is a little Thomas Sue. 

Gordon

Gordon while being a pompous ass, I do like him to an extent. It humors me with what a jerk he can be. 

Edward

Awe Edward, I find him cute even with derpy eyes. He is my favorite of all the engines. And he gets bonus points with sharing his name with my husband.

Henry

Henry is a probably my second favorite. Maybe, I just feel sorry for him?

James

I'm sorry James fan, James is one of my less favorites. As I said earlier, he reminds of those younger kids who tried to hang out with the older ones in school. He really tries too hard. I never could stand those kids back in the day.

Percy

Percy for some reason reminds me of my little sister. Percy lays in the in between category as of now. We really haven't seen too much of him this season. But I can say, I like his spunk

Toby

Like Edward, Toby was a favorite of mine growing up. If Henry hadn't grown on me, Toby would be in 2nd place. 

Terence

I find Terence absolutely adorable. I love his personalty and design. I can almost picture him as a human.

Bertie

I feel much the same way for Bertie. I can picture him looking like Dick Van Dyke. 

The Fat Controller

I find him to be a jerk. He seems to blame accidents on the engines, when all the long it should be the trucks' fault. He also runs a very chaotic railway. 

Well, this is it for Season/Series One. I can't wait to dive into part two. Double the snark!
