S13 Ep: 2 The Lion of Sodor

THESE ARE SOLEY UNDER MY OWN OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE.

THE LION OF SODOR
Written by Mark Robertson
Directed by Greg Tiernan
Produced by Nicole Stinn

Air Date (UK): 
26/1/10

PLOT:
Thomas is given the job of transporting a crate containing a very special statue called The Lion of Sodor. However, he thinks his cargo is a real lion, so he decides to take extra care of it. 

PROS:
N/A

CONS:
- Like I said in my Season 16 reviews, the engines' crews are now the hands of the engines.
- Thomas' driver has to be an idiot for feeding a lion syrup.
- Thomas and Percy would've known about the statue as they have been on the railway longer then Toby and Cranky.
- Why does every engine from the 'Steam Team' have a special, should they think about the passengers that are just wondering up and down the station?



There are no positives things about this episode. It's just stupid! Why would Thomas' driver put straw, syrup and fish in the crate when really he should know about the statue. Thomas would've obviously know about the statue since he was the first engine, along with Edward, to arrive on Sodor. I give credit for the animation, but it is no excuse how ridiculous this episode's writing is. 

Rating: 1/5
