Plot
Everyone prepares for an upcoming carnival, including Thomas and Kana, who must work together on a last-minute mission to finish on time.
This episode was OK but in comparison with the last seven it was actually better. I do like its message that you should always conserve your energy but I think in order to increase the conflict why not have Thomas and Kana being in a rush and have them topping up on water and electricity but in a total rush until they were out of it and were not in the vincinity of a water tower and charging station. You can have either Diesel or James or Henry or Edward, if the people behind the show and Mattel are willing to give them a speaking role, to collect them and take them to their respective power source. That way it would bring the message of the story without the need of telling the audience of what the lesson is because Thomas and Kana telling each other, as shown in the episode, about what they've done doesn't really need telling because we, the audience, have seen it happening with out own eyes.
I really don't have much quams with this episode, except for the hay pun at the start of the episode. It's a nitpick but AEG's puns have never been funny to me and when you explain the 'joke' it was never truly funny to begin with.
At last we have an AEG episode that has a higher rating, might not be too high but higher than the last seven from this season so far. However this season so far
