** Furthermore, Topham doesn’t even try to reassure Thomas that he wasn’t to blame for the accident and just happily says that the new deisel won’t crash into houses. Made worse by the fact that the last time a diesel was here, they caused trouble.
[[AC:Percy’s Predicament]]
* Percy’s crash is already pretty sad since he’s just trying to pick up Diasy’s slack but it becomes even easier to feel sorry for him when Topham outright blames Percy just like he did with Thomas previously. Not helping is that while he does scold Daisy for her laziness, he decides to let her have another chance (Granted it is mentioned he’s short on engines at the moment but it can still feel unfair since Daisy was already causing problems.) and he doesn’t even bother to apologize to Percy for snapping at him.

[[AC:What Rebecca Does]]
* Victor letting Rebecca know she's not a crane, water cannon, steam shovel type of engine. The heartwarming part is Kevin ACTUALLY trying to help Rebecca. No thanks to Victor, who didn't even BOTHER to try to explain why she's not the kind of engine who would need a crane, steam shovel and water cannons!
* Rebecca ends up feeling depressed for the whole episode because she keeps comparing herself to Marion, Harvey and Belle. Cue an extra heartbreaking scene as she stops at Vicarstown to pull the express. Thomas tries to help her, but she just lets out a sad toot and leaves.

Gordon even wheeshes Edward in front of The Fat Controller who is most unhappy at how badly Edward is being treated.

--> Why, why was this episode known to existence? Why did it get a DVD release on 'Up Up and Away'? Why on this earth did this get approved? Seriously what has this writer done to the great blue engine that we known and loved since the beginning as an air headed dimwit that children are to be looking up too? So many unanswered questions. There are so many flaws in this episode, why did Thomas just puff away with workmen on his boiler? They can seriously get hurt or worse! And puffing away with one vent with animals with the lock unlocked, the animals can get seriously hurt. If Thomas is to teach kids, then what is the moral of this episode? This episode could be more realistic, if its like 'Near Miss' from the 1991 annual, 'Old Iron' and 'The Runaway' put together and instead of a 'wonky' whistle, Thomas' whistle is not their and you have an episode called 'Whistling Runaways', which I wrote on my DA page late last year. All I know is that, this is a rarity for me as this episode is my most hated, I didn't even bother watching the episode. It should be deleted from the entire Thomas series and its history as this is the worst Thomas episode ever made. I honestly feel bad for Greg Tiernan for his wonderful animation being wasted away due to this episode's writing.
* The show is '''left Creator/{{PBS}} for good''' [[https://www.facebook.com/unctv/videos/10159512830105164/ in 2018]]. If you count ''Shining Time Station'''s run on the channel, ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' has been airing on PBS since 1989. It's just heartbreaking to see a long-running staple of PBS disappear.
* After 24 seasons, 584 episodes, a theatrical film, several other direct-to-video films and specials, and an altogether 37 years on the air, the series has ''officially ended''. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friends:_All_Engines_Go While we haven't seen the last of the Island of Sodor and its inhabitants]], the end of the show that launched them into global stardom is bound to get some degree of emotions out of fans.
