S12 Ep.17: Thomas Puts The Brakes On

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

THOMAS PUTS THE BRAKES ON
Written by
Mark Robertson 

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
23/09/08

Plot:
Thomas is to take bricks to the bridge that is under repairs. However Thomas has problems with his brakes and loose all the bricks. 

PRO:
- Murdoch's appearance was OK. 

CON:
- Engines can suffer brake problems but not by squeaking
- How the way Thomas was hanging on the edge of the bridge was unrealistic. 

It's OK and sometimes not good this episode, but it has its flaws. One important thing is brakes, sure engines can have braking problems, but not by a screeching noise. If an event like this happens, the engine would be on full speed and steam would have to be reduced until the engine crashes somewhere off the line. How the way Thomas was hanging on the bridge was unrealistic too. However, it was nice seeing Murdoch, but despite character returns, the story is more important and somehow this doesn't show the story well. I did say that Thomas should've accepted Stanley's help but I know that if we have that then there is no plot.

Rating: 2.5/5
