Season 3 Episode 17: Buzz Buzz

Trevor is out working in the orchard when James stops by. Of course James, reminds Trevor about his red paint by referring to him as "Bright and cheerful as his red paint". Trevor agrees that he is bright and cheerful. 

James interrupts by asking what about a buzzing noise. Trevor explains that they are bees in their hives. The Vicar is giving away some of bees and he is going to take them to station later.

What's on your face there, Trevor?

Boco pulls up and joins the conversation. Boco warns to be careful with bees they like to sting. But James, being a diesel racist doesn't like getting advice from a diesel and puffs away. One can say he was steamed.

Cooties!

Meanwhile, Boco heads to the harbor where Bill and Ben are working. They take one look at him and scatter off. Boco is just too much for them.

Boco pulls up to speak with Duck. Boco remises about Bill and Ben freaking him out back in season 2 with the ol' switcher roo. And how Edward is the only one who can discipline those children. 

Duck states that he calls them bees because, they're so hyper and buzzing around all the time. 

We really should drug them.

James pulls in, still being a total jerkwad. He buts in the conversation with, "Are you afraid of bees, Duck? They're only insects. Don't let that diesel tell you different. I'm a diesel racist. Blah blah."

Duck is upset with James' nastiness to Boco. But, James keeps on going explaining how he would just steam the bees away. 

That's my face too when I have to write a James heavy post for this blog.

The next day, James is at the station waiting to pull his next train. A clumsy porter with some bee hives on his cart, looses his load. The beehive busts open. 

Oh shit!

The passengers and worker clear the area. You would have thunk someone walked in Ebola. James and his crew are left with the same "Oh Shit!" face the porter had. James' crew is swarmed by the bees. The bees then turn to James' boiler. James cries, "Buzz off. Buzz off!" sounding like Micheal Cera. 

One bee burned his foot and then this happened.

The bee filled with rage!

And he stung James on the nose. Alright yes!

That 2D animation really threw me off. Although, that bee is now my hero!  

James and his crew freak out and set off. They didn't notice that they didn't take their coaches. Oh well!

James and crew went off to get rid of the bees. They swing James around on the turntable but, that didn't work. Then they tried to wash them off. Once again, that was a failure. So, they tried steaming them off. NOPE!

James' driver suggest going to the orchard and getting another hive. 

Are you ready for the big comfy couch?

At the orchard, The Vicar was waiting to pray away the bees. And the bees did in fact, swarm off James and into some new hives. 

You be healed!

James' driver suggest that they head home and shower.

The Vicar showed up later the evening to speak with James. He thanks him and then makes fun of him by calling him Rudolph. At that moment, The Vicar became awesome in my eyes.

Muhahaha!

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 2, Episode 6: Thomas and Trevor

Oh dear goodness no, Thomas is meeting an engine different then what he is. I can't wait to see what rude things he can say this time. Let's see.

We find Trevor looking very sad in the Vicar's orchard. Edward puffs up to speak with him. He finds that Trevor although he loves it in the orchard, that he not busy enough. And he lonely for the children.

Still not touching that joke.

Edward, awesome as always tells Trevor, "To buck up. The Fat Controller has work for him at the harbor. He is taking him today."

Trevor is packed up and sent to the harbor on Edward's train. 

And here comes Thomas, to the harbor with a trainload of metal pilings. Aw yes, here it comes.

Wait for it....

Edward introduces Trevor, ever so politely to Thomas. Of course, Thomas gives Trevor the eye. What? No! I wanted Thomas to call him fat, old, weird, anything! 

Thomas takes Trevor over from Edward and takes him to the harbor still puzzled about Trevor. 

On the way there, Trevor tries to explain how he runs on roads instead of rails. Thomas still doesn't get it. 

When they arrive at the harbor, they find it a mess.

Who forget to set up the set?

The rails are blocked by slabs and trucks. They need to use Trevor to pull the pilings around the mess. 

Trevor shows Thomas how cool he is without needing rails. 

Later in the day, Thomas brings Annie and Clarabel to visit him. I didn't even realize Thomas left!

Thomas is amazed at how useful Trevor is. And he brought children for Trevor. 

Annie states, "That he is very kind."

And Clarabel who is off her rocker says, "He reminds her of Thomas."

Lay off the drugs, Clarabel.

Soon it is time to go. Thomas pulls Trevor to the junction. Once at home, Trevor starts to cry. Thomas tries to cheer him up by suggesting that they may need him at the harbor some day. 

That night Trevor reflects on Thomas, The Harbor, and The Children.

Trevor really needs some more hobbies.

I am so disappointed in Thomas. I really wanted some name calling. 

Season 2 Episode 4: Saved From Scrap

First of all, the concept of scrapping these engines, buses, cars, and other vehicles that are alive on Sodor has always creeped me out. It is death row for these vehicles, just for being old. Pretty messed up. But anyhow, to our story.

The narration tells us, that The Fat Controller is a slave driver when it comes to working his engines. The Engines not knowing of a better life, get emotional when they are told, "They are very useful."

Edward tells Thomas that he is heading to the scrap yard today. (The Green Mile) Thomas for once being nice tells Edward, "That he not that old. " No he never will be. Edward is art.

"Walking the mile, walking the mile."

Edward heads to the scrapyard. When he arrives he finds, an odd engine called a traction engine. He had been sentenced to death. 

I need someone to take care of Mr.Jingles

The engine introduces himself as Trevor. He explains that they are going to break him up in the next week.

Edward cries, "It's a shame."

Trevor explains that he just needs some TLC and he will be as good as new. But, the owner calls him old fashion.

The two bond on being old. Trevor even reflects on working in the logging industry and all the children who came to see him. He likes children...

Not touching that joke...

Edward sets off and becomes determined on saving Trevor. Edward thinks of all the people who could possible help. But wouldn't you know it, that person is right on the platform at the next station. It is the Vicar.

Kicking it Testament style.

The driver and Edward beg for him to take Trevor. They explain that Trevor's driver who is Jem Cole says he runs like a charm.

Jem Cole just happens to be at the scrapyard, he tells Trevor that the Vicar might buy him. He is coming over to check his hot traction engine body out.

That evening the Vicar takes a look. Jem Cole lights Trevor up and takes him for a spin.

My classic tractor...

The Vicar is impressed. He bought up Trevor cheap. 

Now Trevor lives a life of ease in the orchard. Trevor likes that work but, the best times are at churchy activities were he gives children rides. 

That night Trevor rests, thinking of the children.

Nothing weird about that.
