S15 Ep. 17: Wonky Whistle

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

WONKY WHISTLE
Written by Neil Ben
Directed by Greg Tiernan
Produced by Nicole Stinn

Air Date:
23/3/11

Plot:
 Thomas rushes off before his whistle can be properly fixed and scares Farmer McColl's animals destined for the country fair.

PRO:
N/A

CON:
- Thomas puffing off with workmen on the top of boiler who can have serious injuries or worse!
- This episode goes to show how air headed this tank engine is, just puffing away with a vent van filled with animals that could easily get hurt with the door opened.
- What's the moral of this episode?

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.
