    3:16 Since no one else has tried to explain it, I shall. The only reason I feel STH sent Duck away was to keep him and the big engines apart while he looked into the name calling. He felt that figuring that out would take a while, and he didn't want Duck to be anywhere near Gordon, Henry or James who would be harassing him endlessly. He couldn't send Gordon, Henry or James away since they pull big trains from Tidmouth/Knapford and need to be stationed there. Duck was the station pilot so he could be moved temporarily to Wellsworth so he could monitor Diesel more closely. See if the names continue while Duck is away.

    I agree with the part about The Fat Controller blaming engines for things that are out of control part. I find it very stupid. I could understand if they were to like manipulate their driver and fireman into causing the accident or something of the ilk, but as a whole, they get blamed for things they can't help. For real, the engines wouldn't even be able to operate without their driver and fireman, so why are the accidents always the engines' faults? How come The Fat Controller never criticizes the driver and fireman for it? The only time I've known The Fat Controller criticize the driver for the actions of an engine is in Thomas and the Rumours.

  • @FullArcher05

    The Fat Controller is just unpredictable as far as it goes, train logic is also mixed when it comes to the writing. At first I ruled out that engines have some control over themselves, they can stay in place and the driver can't make them move, they can move but they can't stop. Thomas Comes to Breakfast makes me wonder if Awdry had no train logic in mind. It would've made sense if Thomas could start up on his own and the cleaner did nothing, but no, the cleaner messed with Thomas's controls and he gets blamed for the accident. All I can say is, Sir Topham Hatt means well to his engines when they get into accidents, but he can get a little too stern and blame them for it.

    And hey, why not stop there? What about the times the trucks have been majorly responsible for the accident, whether it be pushing something/someone off the rails, dragging them down a hill, or just simply knowing how to provoke and manipulate an engine, based on their "weakness" if you will? I'm surprised the Fat Controller at least didn't scare the trucks into behaving better, by threatening to replace them with "better rolling stock", whilst sending them to the scrapyards to be processed, or something.

    I'm a bit late to the party lol, but the reason STH sent Duck away was so that Diesel would have enough cable to strangle himself with. Duck was trying to keep Diesel in order, and STH knew that he couldn't send Diesel away without obvious evidence, and so he let him wreak havoc and get cocky for a bit so that he would show his true colours to the other engines and they would forgive Duck (and get Diesel sent away in the process).

    Another problem with Buffer Bother is that it is just a carbon copy of Twin Trouble: 1) Both have similar titles. 2) They both are about railway twins having a falling out (Donald and Douglas in TT and Bill and Ben in BB) 3) While one of the twins is away, the other works with another engine (Donald works with Duck in TT, and Bill works with Mavis in BB). 4) One of the twins fall into a ditch in the climax (Bill in BB and Donald in TT). 5) After the engine is out of the ditch in both episodes, the twins reconcile.

    It's still offscreen, though, so it has the same problem as the show. And as much as I love "A Close Shave", I have to agree: It's frustrating that we didn't get to see Diesel once more. The last we see of him in the book, he's wearing one of the nastiest smirks I've ever seen as he watches Duck roll sadly away. It would've been really gratifying to see him get called out or at least in disgrace afterwards, as well as to see the other engines realize their mistake and feel bad about how they hurt Duck. Yeah, I know it's "all there in the manual", so to speak, but that's just not as satisfying as seeing it ourselves.

You can even tell if the brakes are dragging _slightly_ on _one_ axle, they're that sensitive!

    I believe that the main lesson that we as the audience are supposed to learn from Buffer Bother is to not let our emotions get the better of us. As you stated, Bill is jealous of his twin brother Ben and this sets up the plot and actually fits the character/ personality of either twin rather well as they are always competing with each other. As to why I believe that the lesson is to not let our emotions get the better of us, it is shown throughout the story that all Bill can think about is Ben's new buffers because he is jealous which causes him to continuously have mishaps across the quarry.

    To answer the question about “sending Duck away,” well, the Fat Controller didn’t exactly “send him away.” He relocated him. Edward’s station is still part of the NWR, and isn’t even far from Tidmouth. The way I see it, the Fat Controller could tell there was just too much conflict boiling over between Duck and the others, so he had Duck spend some time away from everyone else so that he could sort things out. On the other hand however, as a kid, this confused me too. I always was under the impression that “Edward’s Station” was like, a different railway or something, so it did feel like Duck was just getting sent packing, but he was really just being brought out of the conflict.

    he also isn't as proud as the other engines. Gordon, Henry and James are the most boastful engines in the series and with Diesel being oily towards them ("I am delighted to meet such famous engines") it was simple enough for him to win them over compared

    8. - I used to watch this episode all the time since "Better Late than Never" was my favorite VHS tape of the Thomas shorts. Definitely agree about the sluggish pace of the episode, but feel the moral was "Being late for a good cause (Thomas bringing Bertie's passengers in his place) is better than being late in general." Tacky, but it's the best I can interpret. 7. - My favorite classic episode, but I can definitely agree that Diesel's punishment was very anti-climactic. 6. - Agreed 100% 5. - No comment. Never saw the episode. 4. - No comment. Never saw the episode. 3. - I didn't like it because it was basically a "kick-em-while-their-down" story. Everyone teases Thomas for not getting to pull trains, and then after the stories events, the teasing just gets worse. 2. - Agreed, but I always thought the lesson was "don't get upset/obsessed over menial shit." As for Baldwin's performance in Season 6, I think it's safe to say it was a combo of both cases. Baldwin is still a pretty big name outside of Thomas, and the film's failure coupled with his real-life problems with his marriage was just causing him not to give a shit about his performances anymore. Rather sad because I would've loved to have actually seen him try to do a Scottish impression when he was voicing Donald and Douglas... 1. - Agreed, but as for Sir Topham Hatt's blaming of the others, I can see why it seems harsh, but (depending on the episode mind you) I interpret this as him speaking on behalf the engine's inner guilty conscious. In the case of this episode, it was unneeded for when he snapped at Percy, but it was entirely justified when he did it to James since he was loudly mouthing off.

    Palkia792 I feel Henry was a character who notably fell from grace in later series, with his personality becoming so much of a departure from what he was, to the point he got demoted from the main cast because the stupid feminist groups called Thomas "sexist" and "misogynistic" and demanded for more women to join the main cast, hence the SJW Brigade engines named Nia and Rebecca being made and forced into Edward and Henry's places. Henry's demotion from the main cast has seemed to have caused him to mostly be relegated only to cameos, so I wouldn't be surprised if he disappeared from the show altogether, if the franchise doesn't end up dying sooner.

    In my opinion, the worst classic episodes are Time for Trouble and Special Attraction. Time for Trouble: The problem I have with this episode is that James basicaly gets punished for no reason. Sure, he was showing off again at the beginning, but this didn't bother Toby, so, James did not cause any trouble at all. In the end, James gets punished by being humiliated by pushing Toby and being laughed at by the children. You could of course say, that James was punished for showing off, but the thing is, that this has no influence on his punishment; Even if James didn't show of, he would have been punished. Special Attraction: They somehow tried to adapt two Railway Series storys into one episode, but it didn't work at all; The plot is really confusing: First, it is about Toby, then, it becomes a story about Percy, trucks and Bulstrode with Toby having nothing to do with it and then, in the end, Toby appears again. Also, just like in Time for Trouble, Bulstrode's punishment was undeserved: All he did was complaining without hurting anyone. That Percy dropped these trucks on Bulstrode was not Bulstrode's fault: It was an accident and of it was anyone's fault, then either Percy's (because he pushed the trucks) or the truck's (maybe, they tried to teach Bulstrode a lessen and pulled Percy on purpuse further). But no, Bulstrode gets punished by being left on the beach. Not only is this punishment way to much, but also if Bulstrode did not complain, the accident could have happend (If the trucks didn't do it on purpose) and Bulstrode would have been punished anyway. I'm probably getting shot for this, but one of the main reasons, why I don't like season 4 that much, is that many episodes are also out of place: Henry and the Elephant actually should take place in season one before the big engine's strike, Bulls Eyes takes place during Daisy's season 2 episodes, that's why Daisy's fear of Bulls is mentioned in Percy's Predicament. Paint Post and Queens takes place right after Down the Mine, but it's been a long time since that episode and in the seasons between, Thomas did run his branch line, so, Gordon's line "Can Thomas have his branch line back, Sir?" (I'm actually not sure what he said in the English version) makes no sense. Also, Duck appeard in this episde, even though he was not there in Down the Mine. Stepney's situation is also confusing: First off, Bowled Out and Train Stops play are swapped, which is confusing considering the fact, that Stepney leaves the NWR in Bowled Out but is back again in Train Stops Play. In season 5, he just visited the NWR again but since season 6, he seems to be working on Sodor with no explaination. I'd never thought I would ever write a comment like this...

For that case it would cause the train to crash, and then some of the passengers on board of the train will be injured and likely to die by either being thrown off, or being involved in the crash for that matter! It's only Rheneas taking the class on a school trip, and while he was bored, he was diverted onto a track which can really lead him to risk! I mean, why not rewrite and retitle the whole episode so it can focus something else about Rheneas instead of a having a silly and risky story about him!

Also, I’m sure many people are gonna hate me for this, but I actually really like Rheneas and the Roller Coaster. Rheneas’ situation makes sense if you look at it from a modern day standpoint. Kids don’t find anything that isn’t on a screen to be entertaining, so why not give them a real life experience of a life time. Also, the “Roller Coaster” is actually the route that Rheneas got diverted on and I’m not surprised it was called the roller coaster, it sure as hell acts like one.

You know what Percy said when STH scolded him? "But it wasn't my fault. It's because those diesels made me a middle engine!" Percy immediately stood up for himself, and told him exactly who was to blame. And you know what STH did? He took Percy _away_ from the job that took him near the diesels. Also, it's not against railway regulations. Oliver's basis was literally built for that purpose.

    I don’t disagree most of these to be honest. However, I do think What’s The Matter With Henry did have a positive that wasn’t mentioned: Emily was portrayed well. Her very first episode showed her as a kind-hearted engine, and some episodes after that added a bit of a motherly personality to her; which I think was shown in that episode. It wasn’t her best episode appearance, by all means, but I think she filled the role in the story very well.

    I gotta disagree with you on What's the Matter with Henry and Thomas' Train. I feel like WTMWH is one of the most underrated of Season 7, it feels like something Britt, David, Brenner, or hell, maybe even Awdry might write. Henry's resilience and determination reminds me of Super Rescue. Also, as for Thomas & Percy being dicks, I think the point was to bring back their "cheekiness" by thinking Henry was faking his illness and trying to make things harder for him. And, at least they felt remourse for their actions at the end. As for Thomas' Train, I think Thomas being so overly-excited that he didn't realize there was no weight behind him was the point. They did say "Thomas was too excited to listen" or something like that. It's kind of like how in Peter Sam & The Refreshment Lady Peter Sam was so worried about missing his connection with Henry that he took off without the Refreshment Lady. Thomas got so wrapped up in his excitement that he didn't notice. Also, Thomas' Train has a pretty good message about failure that I like. Most of the time things aren't gonna go right for you the first time, and you simply gotta just get back up and try again. I think that's a good message for Kids watching to learn.

    For part when you mentioned they’re trying bring Thomas and Percy’s cheekiness back, I feel like it was the wrong time to depict that way. Isn’t Percy suppose to tease the big engines when he stands up for himself if the big engines are ridiculing him and for goodness sake hasn’t Thomas learnt from the episode ‘Thomas and the Guard’ to not be insensitive about Henry’s illness. Also what’s really annoying about this episode is that Henry is ill despite getting a rebuild at Crewe after his flying kipper incident.

    17:08: I should note that this issue only appears in the widescreen version of this episode. If you're watching the episode in full screen (and if you live in the US you most likely are), the black bars on the side hide this issue. To me, this indicates that the issue was meant to be hidden in the broacasts (because let's face it, even though season 6 and onwards were produced in widescreen, they were most likely still broadcasted in full screen since they were originally broadcasted from 2002 to 2003, a time where CRT TVs were still more common than HD TVs).

    The whole issue with convoluted plotlines stopped "The Missing Coach" from airing, but I'm not surprised at it appearing in other episodes. In addition, I feel like Thomas should have known he was not pulling a train, since as a station pilot he should have been able to differentiate the feeling of pulling/pushing rolling stock from just rolling down the tracks with nothing in tow. I doubt "excitement" would have been enough a problem for that.

    5:52 Exactly. Fanfics and other fanmade material know how to write a good story for Henry without resorting to him feeling ill. By constantly treating him as someone who is sick, people won’t take him seriously as a memorable character. Not to mention all these episodes of him getting sick make no sense as his rebuild was meant to fix all those problems! It’s also why Henry’s Happy Coal is the worst episode focused on him, because it throws continuity out the window.

    Here’s my opinion on What’s the Matter with Henry: Given Henry’s past of being sick on and off, maybe Thomas and Percy thought Henry was joking and actually just fine, only to realize it was 100% real and they feel so guilty for their actions (just look at their faces as Henry and Emily enter the yard) and there kind of is a lesson to not make jokes out of a condition someone has that is no laughing matter. If someone made fun/jokes of my autism, I would be very offended and Henry clearly is too over Thomas’ and Percy’s actions.

    This is quite comparable to King Triton’s destruction of his daughter’s enormous collection. It demonstrates an uneducated parent attempting to resolve a child’s mental illness in an ineffective and potentially dangerous way. He believes that getting rid of her collection will somehow “cure” her of her obsession, which instead drives her further away from him and deeper into the obsession with humans and their interesting objects. One difference was that Triton was angry at Ariel while Thomas and Percy were smiling and making fun of Henry.

    I agree with your point about number 7. I compare that aspect of the Duck & Diesel from story 2 to story 3, the same way as with The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Empire left you on a real emotional cliff-hanger from finding out who Darth Vader really is, to then wondering whether Han Solo is as good as dead or if he can be revived. Then come Jedi, epic Space Battle and excellent musical composition by John Williams, but as said in the film Clerks; it seemed more dominant on what's referred to as a bunch of muppets. Granted, difference of course we know what and see what becomes of The Empire in ROTJ than what becomes of Diesel in A Close Shave. But with the theme of story that Wilbert Awdry gave us, it must have been really difficult for him at the time to come-up with such a climax involving Talking Trains that could satisfy Children without going completely overboard.
