Plot

When a new express tunnel opens in Sodor, both Thomas and Diesel want to be the first one through. However, their stubbornness might prevent them from enjoying the spring butterfly migration.

Another Thomas and Diesel being competitive story, not really original and the whole trope is becoming very boring and stale, like Nia making new plans this too would get tiresome that kids will stop being interested. That is basically my problem with the episode but at least Diesel wasn't rewarded for cheating in the race earlier but all in all a pretty meh episode, I really don't have much else to say.

That is all of S2A, a shame that so far the second season was a total lackluster after hearing from some fans on how good it was. But so far I'm not impressed, apart from two episodes that I consider so far as the best. I'm going to take a break from reviewing the episodes of this season and will start reviewing episodes from S2B starting on January 1st. 

Thank you all for reading these reviews and since we're already in the month of December, I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a Happy New Year, see you in 2024!

Plot

When Thomas, Percy, and Diesel take in a stray sheep, the engines get a little more than they bargained for when the fluffy creature and her herd overstay their welcome in the sheds.

The episode was fine, I guess. It was nice seeing Diesel's softside being the centre focus but I much prefer how it was in 'Diesel and the Ducklings' where was rough and tough to everyone, as he was over the years in the original series and he'd kept his softie side a secret. In AEG we tend to see Diesel's soft and caring side that much that he didn't need to make himself look cool or even tried to hide his soft side. The sheep going to his shed was repetitive and Diesel not knowing that the new heat lamp was suppose to replace the old one, I mean the logo was on the box despite that him forgetting about it was suppose to be part of the conflict. The sheep song was meh and the episode while alright, it was much better than the last eight episodes, it wasn't great either.
