S9 Ep.5: Mighty Mac

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

MIGHTY MAC
Written by
Paul Larson 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
11/09/05

Plot:
A new engine named Mighty Mac came to the Island during the summer season. However the double ended engine were having a hard time on which way to go. 

PRO:
- N/A

CON:
- Visual errors with Mighty Mac
- They need a signalman to know the right lines.
- The way that Mighty Mac shoved the rocks out of the way was unrealistic.

There's nothing good about this episode. It's a shame that this was the Skarloey Railway's comeback and they get a bad episode. There were many visual errors in the episode. Mighty pulled the train from the transfer yards to the dead end and then when it was getting late, Mac was pulling the train away from the dead end and then Mighty took the train into the camp site. Plus, I hate how in the new series we see the engines don't need railway workers to help out. It makes Sodor more like a universal place and not a realistic place. Yes, I know the show is intended for kids but when the Rev.W.Awdry made the Railway Series all of his stories shows realism from the workmen to the driver. No matter how powerful an engine is they can get derailed from shoving rocks and that scene shows so much unrealism. This is never intended as a favourite to me and it worth to be shown once. 

Rating: 1/5
