THESE ARE SOLY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE
RESPECT FOR GORDON
Written by

Air Date:

Plot:
Gordon's firebox is making noise and this made the other engines teasing. Gordon had enough and wanted all the engines to show him respect. However he had an accident with some tanker wagons of jam.
PRO:
- I like how they showed Gordon's sign of old age.
CON:
- In reality, I believe fireboxes don't gurgle.
- There would've been an explanation of the tanker wagons
- Henry and Emily should know that the express is heavy.
The episode is OK, it tried its best. I do love how they show the signs of old age to Gordon, but with his rattled firebox, I'm pretty sure with firebox problems it would be like low steam pressure or something. Plus there would've been an explanation of why the tanker wagons were left on the main line. As with Emily and Henry's criticism about the express being heavy, they should at least know that it's heavy. Henry had been pulling the express for years in the RWS and TV series and Emily had pulled the express for Gordon in Season 8. But then again, this episode is OK.
Rating: 3/5
