S10 Ep.3: Thomas and The Jet Plane

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

THOMAS AND THE JET PLANE
Written by
Abi Grant

Directed by
Steve Asquith 

Air Date:
3/10/06

Plot:
Thomas met a jet plane named Jeremy. The plane boasted about how much flying means to him and Thomas decided not to talk to him in future. But in the end, the summer rain came and the children's picnic was ruined and thanks to Thomas, the children enjoyed their picnic in the aircraft hanger.

PRO:
- An engine vs. vehicle rivalry 

CON:
- Where are the parents of the children?
- Thomas' whinging about planes

This episode would've gone better as the season's opener. I think this is better then the last two and the rivalry was never used a lot in the series, an engine vs. vehicle rivalry, we haven't seen that since Season 5. Plus I like Jeremy's design, its very sleek and modern. But with the rest of the episode, where are the parents of the children? Should the kids need parental guidance for their picnic? Plus Thomas' whinging got annoying. But this episode is better then the other two of this season. 

Rating: 4/5
