Re/ "The Way She Does It":

I think the Daisy eps might be the strongest from Season 20, and easily among the best in the Brenner era. Her in-depth characterisation - oscillating between good-hearted and significantly flawed - is a real standout I think, and the episodes are strong as a result.
On this day in 2016 "Blown Away" and "The Way She Does It" premiered

"Blown Away" marked Captain Joe's first speaking role
"The Way She Does It" marked Mike and Rexs first episodic appearances as well as their first cameo roles

Happy 9th anniversary!

Dustin my beloved!

Best year for Thomas lost media and reveals ever I think. So glad to witness it.

Give this a read. Bluesky may have less people than Musk's site (for now - I think things could change), but there's handy ways to improve your experience.

Also you're divesting from the extremist Musk and his allies by using Bluesky instead of Twitter.

So against what many of us thought, we didn't get updates on the expected new Thomas series at MIPJunior.

Therefore, I'm wondering if the Marc Forster movie is the 'exciting new adventure for 2026' or whatever was proposed.

I'd argue its worse in 'Thomas and the Special Letter'.

Toby (visibly confused): "How can something be up when its down?"

You were meant to say it "reasonably" Toby, the heck you confused for?!

"Percy's had an accident!", cried Toby.

"Absolute rot!", protested Thomas.

"What is this, Season 5?", asked Toby.

I've written (and am writing) some Thomas stories, which I'll release here once I work out how to add them. I'm planning some stories on the years before, during and after WW1.

Really like Brian by @wildnorwester.bsky.social, but I must resist including him. New OC brake van needed from me I think!

"'Jumping Jobi Wood!' will forever remain one of my favourite episodes of all time".

In fairness, as terrible as I find that episode, Nic was allowed to have that opinion.
I even still remember Unlucky Tug giving this a 0.5 out of 10 in one of his older videos-
On this day in 2010 "Henry's Magic Box" premiered on TV although it was released on dvd on 12th October 2010

This marked the S14 finale

Happy 15th anniversary!

I hate being negative, but how Mattel mistreated TCC members and increasingly mandated unpopular aspects was so wrong.

I'd like the Thomas reboot and movie (if either happens) to be good, but Mattel is a corporation. I fear the quality of Thomas will be subordinate to the profit motive. (1/2)
I almost forgot about this till now - but today marks 10 Years since the Thomas Creator Collective was released made by the fans for the fans on the official Thomas YT channel. It may have its ups and downs, but the collaborative voices, music & model work by many fans and their work skyrocketed.

RIP Pauline Collins. Although I am familiar with her roles in Doctor Who, my earliest memories of her involve the old Mr Men cartoons which she used to narrate alongside her husband John Alderton. She voiced all the Little Miss characters there

OK so I only learnt today that 'Hullo Twins' had a different final script from the leaked one from 2022.

Several differences and simplifications compared with the book. Plus the Gordon and Henry scene and Duck talking to Douglas added back in.

I love Thomas behind-the-scenes and reveals.

2025 has been a (unrivalled?) year for Thomas-related finds.

Even so, I have my sights set on a certain cancelled Season 2 episode:

Just seen this post about the things The Blue Snowplow has done - never knew until today. In case anyone wondered: since finding out, I've deleted my post about watching 'The Horrors of Hawin Lake' for the first time.

If there's a resolution to any of what's happened, I'd be keen to know.
just when you thought the blue snowplow's reputation couldnt get any lower, hes now asking for addresses and contact emails for a "free model" that you dont even get.

Get the fuck out the fandom. We dont want you here.

I totally get it if Trampy stops making Trampy Movies at any point.

But I had an idea and, well, I gave it a go. (Couldn't work out how to add the logo though).

That time BoCo and Daisy had a child together.

Season 1 and 2 behind-the-scenes is such a mood.

From my contact with him, it seems David Maidment (Railway Consultant for Season 5) contributed to "James and 'Super' E.D." by providing the concept of a train being hit by lightning.

That is unless another episode that I overlooked uses this, or it was reworked.

(He said I could share.)

I propose a fundraiser to get the 'God Tier' on @sudderym.bsky.social's Patreon, so he makes the most script-accurate Season 5 styled adaptation of "James and 'Super' E.D." of all time.

Just need to raise £771.50 per month... 😅

Gordon had broken down so Pip & Emma, the mainland express, were allowed to run through to Tidmouth. They had never been on Sodor before & Pip was enjoying herself. Emma however felt sad.
"I wish we could run here more often" Little did she know what the future would bring...

If I had a nickel for every time the upcoming Thomas series acquired a character whose name started with 'Crane Truck', I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice.
