S8 Ep.7: Percy's Big Mistake

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

PERCY'S BIG MISTAKE
Written by
Abi Grant 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
22/08/04 

Plot:
Percy was late and he was worried as the Fat Controller says he has to go to the scrapyard. 

PRO:
- The mention of Percy being a shunting engine, just like his basis.

CON:
- Percy should know that the Fat Controller would never scrap any of his engines.

Despite the first six episodes are good and OK, this one would have to be one of the weakest episodes so far in this season. The revert of Percy's persona making him sound like he's a wimp. Percy should've known better that the Fat Controller would never scrap his steam engines and it's just bad how they don't show that in recent years of the show. But I do like how they mention that he's a shunting engine, so I think the writers had done some research before writing. Unlike an infamous former head writer who just butchered the show with such awful writing around the CGI era of the show. But sadly I found this episode weak. 

Rating: 1/5
