S9 Ep.3: Molly's Special Special

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

MOLLY'S SPECIAL SPECIAL
Written by
Paul Larson 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
18/09/05

Plot:
Thomas is to meet a new engine named Molly at the flour mill. But Molly was sad because Emily had teased her for taking empty trucks. Thomas wanted to help her out and found tarpaulins which would make her feel like special. However, it ended in disaster when she showed to Emily, Gordon and Percy. Thomas felt bad but in the end when they made their way to the coaling plant, Edward, Henry and James need more empty trucks and that made her feel special. 

PRO:
- Molly's basis

CON:
- Empty trucks are always taken to places in the past and no engine cares. 
- The express is far more important then empty trucks. 

Half and half for this episode. I do love Molly's basis she looks wonderful. She was stuck close towards the GER D56:

But despite the wonderful choice of basis, there are the usual cons. I don't like it how Molly was bullied because she's taking empty trucks. Engines take empties all the time as the trucks need to be transferred from places so they can be used for other loads and I hate it how they mentioned that the empty trucks are more important then the express. Express trains are more important, there are passengers who need to get to their destinations on time, they should at least end it with Emily or any character with a slow goods or just themselves. The episode is on a scale of OK and bad, but its half and half for me. 

Rating: 2.5/5
