T1E2H3's Episode Tier Ranking (S1-2)

[@22Tesla]

13:47 That confused me a lot too, but then I realized this was an example of the TVS adaptation fumbling the RWS story. The reason Gordon couldn't pull the train is because in the RWS, The Big Station was a terminus like London's Kings Cross. A train pulling into the station would have to uncouple from the coaches, use a passing loop to back down out of the station, find a turntable, turn around, and re-couple to the train. And that's how it's shown in the RWS illustration: Gordon is coming into the station, while James is facing the direction to leave the station. Gordon is facing the wrong way, but James is not. So STH taking Gordon off the express and putting James on it instead is to cut down on the delay. Of course, in the TVS, the big station has through lines so it's confusing to say Gordon couldn't just continue to pull the train. 19:10- Yeah I think the idea was that Percy's driver was going to move Percy back to get him out of the way before Gordon hit him. But when he looked up, Percy was starting to move too slow so he leaped off to save himself. Only for Gordon to stop sooner and thus leaving Percy rolling without a driver.

[@jaanshersaeed4541]

Maybe in the TV Series logic Gordon was low on steam coal or something

[@weitkemperoliver]

If Thomas and the breakdown train was adapted for season five, it would be the most epic runaway this series

[@s.p.d.magentaranger1822]

I mean The Adventure Begins' take on it was really epic.

[@davidmorin2818]

Have you seen Unlucky Tug's video about Duck? It provides a good discussion about why we don't see Diesel get sent away and why Domeless Engines was in the book

[@Sebby-c7k]

I was going to comment the same thing until I saw your comment. Tug really did give a good analysis on the Duck and Diesel plot ark

[@juanpablo.a]

what did he say?

[@davidmorin2818]

@juanpablo.a he said that Awdrey probably wanted to focus more on Duck proving himself as a hero despite his flaws

[@FictionalADDON]

If you looked up Duck and Diesel’s basis you can find out that they’re just drops an oceans they’re just as bad as each other. Edit: also Domeless engine would’ve establish Duck’s alter ego until Diesel’s introduction.

[@BSupreme2024]

You Should definitely do a tier list on your own episodes (The engines of sodor). Talk about your favorite and least favorites episodes you have made

[@THEWAILFULCARP]

Glad to see you post again T1E2H3!

[@adammiranda357]

It would have been funny if Gordon Goes Swimming had a scene where the engines point out the fact that Mallard didn't have a face but he can still talk to them as if he had one.

[@fanofeverything30465]

That would have been hilarious 😂

[@diesel10rules23]

The real question is whether or not you think Mr bubbles and Billy are the greatest characters of all time

[@RWSfan2024]

Probably not

[@jamesmukuria6669]

Well, That's a tricky question. For me, Mr Bubbles is the greatest. In fact, better than Billy though.

[@voidvoidvoi]

yeah but what about sir lowham hatt he’s the greatest fictional character ever

[@railfan9499]

Y’all have it wrong. Everyone knows farmer trotter is the greatest character.

[@Thomas1Edward2Henry3]

Those two are definitely in the top 5 but not quite as great as the floorboards from Percy's Promise or Larry the Loo.

[@arthurhayes3423]

About the Duck and Diesel episodes, Diesel's comeuppance is never shown because in the original book, Awdry was trying to show how insignificant Diesel was, both by design and character, and also when you look at the bigger picture, Duck and Diesel aren't really that different, Duck played a trick on Diesel running his reputation of making a good first impression, so in return Diesel sabotaged Duck, so hope that answers your question

[@grahamdamberger7130]

Season 1: A few great episodes with not many mediocre episodes. Season 2: A little better overall than Season 1 with as few misses. There's a couple contenders for which episode ended up replacing The Missing Coach. Most people have believed that it was Better Late then Never, which sits in the spot The Missing Coach would have been in, but solid arguments for both Double Trouble and The Runaway. Speaking of Better Late than Never, I felt the episode would have been better if Thomas arrived at the station expecting to have missed Bertie, but as he comes to a stop the station master notifies Thomas' crew that Bertie hasn't arrived yet. Thomas then sets off to find Bertie, who broke down en route, and gets helped to the bus depot while Thomas takes Bertie's passengers back to the station to wait for another bus to pick them up.

[@s.p.d.magentaranger1822]

Still I kinda understand Britt's reasoning for canceling it. The tender swapping shenanigans were a mess....

[@BillandBenProductions6792]

Great episode ranking list and it’s so nice to see you back again

[@RWSfan2024]

45:52 if you slow down George Carlin’s trucks groaning, it makes it ten times funnier lol

[@MP-nn9ok]

I want to give you a few opinions and points: - I believe that the adaptation of Thomas' Train should've done either two things: -- Do what the books did where Thomas only got as far as the yard's entrance. For example, they could've made Thomas stopped a few yards after the signal box. -- show Thomas pulling the train the first time as his own imagination. Then when the signalman tells him that there is no train behind him, Thomas' imagination ends and we cut back to real life where we see Thomas did indeed leave his coaches behind. - The adaptation of James and the Express muddled the story while the illustrations of the book made more sense. In the illustrations, Gordon is shown to be sandwiched between the coaches and the buffers, so if Gordon were to pull the train again, he would have to be reversed out of the station, turned around, and coupled up in front, which would've taken a while. Meanwhile, James was facing in the right direction, hence why Sir Topham Hatt asked James to pull it to save the time of havign to turning him around. That makes more sense than both adaptations in the TV series.

[@tudorbrancuturcu5996]

43:17 - The first Thomas episode I ever saw and it’s Percy’s fault. He told the trucks to push him

[@likecascade7015]

In Japan, S is the highest academic grade one can receive so I would assume since most fighting games who would have their fanbase use grading tiers come from Japan, I can only assume that’s where the S-F grading tier comes from

[@BriceInkling138]

I might have a feeling you have a vaguer memory on the show post-Season 7, which is why you often don't remember watching much from those seasons compared to Seasons 1-7. But if you're going to do Seasons 5-7, why not include the Pack episodes? To me, while yes the thirteen Pack episodes are part of their own spin-off. But because I can tell by the camera font they used for Season 7, the stock footage used from Seasons 1-6 in a few cases, and that it was filmed during the same time and the same year Season 7 was in production and then coming out before being completely released on DVD in 2006, I reckon them to count them as Season 7 to that extent. It's only a suggestion, mind you.

[@ruairievans]

My main question is that why did Thomas go so far in the tv show? Because we have a map of station yard in the RWS and it’s been made clear that Thomas only got to the FIRST Signal at the entrance/Exit to the station yard where he was stopped and informed that he left his train behind. So why did they make Thomas go so far down the line in the tv show? The world may never know or in this case. Wilbert AND everyone in the thomas fandom will never know

Agree, the plot of all the passengers try to pull and push Henry out of the tunnel makes NO sense! What was Wilbert Awdry losing his marbles?! And why is everyone so happy to have Henry punished for GOOD?! First of all that's false advertising, he DOES get out in the very next episode and also, you wouldn't like it if somebody punished YOU for good would you? And finally, have you not watched the US (Come out Henry) edit where it's at least implied Henry will EVENTUALLY be free of the tunnel?
