Plot
Emily longs for a bit of adventure and it's not long before her wish is granted.


It's nice to see an episode for Emily as a main character since S19, which was four years ago. Her last main centric role was in 'Best Engine Ever'. Plus her yearning for adventure seems pretty meta as well given as she hadn't had an episode to herself since then. Anyway this episode was pretty average but I pretty much enjoy it in the end. It's message that adventure can happen anywhere was nice, although I think some fans might use that and say 'So why not have episodes only on Sodor then?' while I understand that they would rather see more Sodor stories, it would not make sense if they keep it titled 'Big World, Big Adventures'. In the end, the story was average but it was a good watch.
