Plot:
The Fat Controller says that there are important passengers are to be collected at Great Waterton and workmen as well. Who ever arrives first will take the VIP and the other will take the workmen. Gordon tries to beat Stanley by taking a shortcut, but he got lost as he took a shortcut.
PRO:
- Oliver and Toad spoke for the first time.
CON:
- You think Gordon knows where Great Waterton is?
- Towards the end, you think Gordon knows the way to Stanley's line?
- Where are the signalman doing their job? The engines don't decide to take which track.
Not a good episode, despite that Oliver and Toad talked for the first time, the episode was just not good. Gordon should know where Great Waterton is, as of course he helped with the restoration of the town in 'The Great Discovery'. Plus, where are the signalman in this episode, they choose the track that the engine should take, not the engine, it's all part of the timetable, that if timetables exist on Sodor. And you think that towards the end of the episode, that Gordon knows which track to take, he has been on the Island longer then, Duck, Oliver, Toad and Stanley. The episode wasn't horrible, it wasn't just good. But it's an OK watch a few times.
Rating: 2.5/5
