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 1 Episode 19: The Flying Kipper

It is winter and he find that Henry has to be up early in the morning, to get his Egg McMuffin on. Oh just kidding, they are picking up a fish train called, "The Flying  Kipper". The driver also thinks this is their opportunity to knock Gordon off The Express.

And after we knock off Gordon, we get Thomas

We find that The Flying Kipper is the fish that arrives at the dock that needs to be trained off to far away lands. 

In the morning, Henry arrives minus the Egg McMuffin to take The Flying Kipper. There was snow and frost on the rails. But, everything goes down perfect and Henry is set to go.

Smells like fish

Poor Henry is going along beautifully. I can not snark at this at all. The scenery and detail they put in on this set is beautiful too bad, I know bad things are going to happen. 

Henry is passes a green signal and everything seems alright. But the next signal is yellow. His driver was gearing to stop but, they found that another signal said, "All clear." so they head through. 

Ah here it goes, the points are frozen and the other signal should have been set to "Danger". 

On a siding, a goods train is waiting for Henry to pass. The crew is enjoying coco in the brake van. They decide to get their train ready to go since Henry should be there any second. They escape at just the right moment. 

I like my coco with danger

Henry smashes right into the back of the goods train.

I honestly have never felt so bad for a model train in my life

Poor Henry, I feel so bad for him. I remember this episode actually made me tear up as a child. 

Henry derails and this is the saddest picture ever.

Someone needs a hug

The Fat Controller arrives to see the carnage. Henry explains that the signal was down. The Fat Controller is actually understanding this time. He explains the ice had screwed up everything. He also tells Henry that he is getting plastic surgery in the form of a new shape and firebox.

Henry gets his procedure done and heads home happily. I crowd gathers to see his new shape. Everyone cheers for him. 

Looking hot, Henry.

Henry also now gets to pull the express which makes Gordon jelly. 

I am so glad Henry made it.
