Plot
On Plant-A-Tree Day on Sodor, Thomas and Diesel both want to deliver the most impressive pine for the holiday, but they'll have to compete by delivering all the other trees first.

Why name an episode about a character who was never blamed for anything and was not in anyway the focal point of the episode? Heck even the original title, 'Bring it On Beresford', holds that question as well? It's kinda like those weird titles from the 'Thomas' Trusty Friends' DVD from 2006 where the title has to have either Thomas or Percy in them for the sake of identification despite them bearly being in the episode anyway. The title could've been something plain like 'Thomas, Diesel and the Big Tree' or something creative like 'Big Tree Big Problems' something at least that would make more sense!

This episode was mainly about Thomas and Diesel wanting to take the biggest tree and it's another Thomas and Diesel being competitive episode! We had a few of those already in S1! Could the writers at least try something different? Do they have to be competitive? Could the show have more money to add in different characters to at least freshen up the roster and add something different? The song was meh but it didn't need a random rap sequence. The episode was predictable since the Fat Controller told all the engines the moral of the story so we already know what the plot was going to be about.
