About Me
Hello, I'm BiggestThomasFan, but you can call me Scot. I have been a fan of Thomas and Friends since I was young and I still love the show today.

Why I Like Millie So Much
The reason why Millie is my favorite character is a bit complex. When I first saw her in the trailer for King of the Railway, I thought she was an interesting character since she was the very first female narrow gauge engine in the series. And when I heard that she was French, it made me like her more because I've often thought a French engine would be neat, as French is one of my favorite languages. And then I saw her in the Season 17 episode, The Switch, and she was brilliant in it. She learned that she was stronger than she realized, that she wasn't afraid of tunnels and didn't mind a little dust. And she spoke a bit of French in it. And then I saw her in other episodes/specials (King of the Railway, Millie and the Volcano, etc), and I thought she was brilliant in those as well. I was rather disappointed that she didn't appear at all in Season 19, but was glad to see her appear again in Season 20. I've also collected some merchandise of her, and my love for her grew even more. I'm hoping she gets more roles in the series. I would love to see what other things the writers can do with her. Plus, she has a great personality, and is one of the cutest TV characters ever to me. And Miranda Raison voices her perfectly. That's why Millie is my all-time favorite character in the series.

Honorable Mentions: Winter Wonderland, The Work Song, There's a Job for Everyone, Hear the Engines Coming, Let's Go!, Glynn's Christmas Wish and The Hottest Place in Town and We Can't Do Anything

Top 5 Worst Songs

 * 1) Race with You (Everything about this song sucks; the singing, the generic racing theme, etc, and I guess you can say it's Let's Have a Race done wrong)
 * 2) Thomas and Percy (The tune's catchy, but the fact that Thomas and Percy are best friends has been shoved down our throats several times before)
 * 3) Responsibility (Meh)
 * 4) There's Snow Place Like Home (Meh)
 * 5) Streamlining/The Shooting Star Is Coming Through (Both songs have a catchy tune. However, Streamlining makes Thomas sound immature, and the Shooting Star version isn't any better either)

Dishonorable Mention: Engine Rollcall (I don't really hate it. I just think it's been overused over the years. But I do find the Season 19 version to be quite catchy)

Seasons from Favorite to Least Favorite

 * Season 4 (Best season ever! I love the music, the sets, all the episodes, George Carlin's narrations and the fact that it introduced the Skarloey Railway to the TV series)
 * Season 2 (Another great season with some of the best episodes ever)
 * Season 1 (Yet another great season)
 * Season 3 (I really like this season too, even if it has a few weak adaptions)
 * Season 20 (Best season of the CGI series so far)
 * Season 18 (Another great season)
 * Season 17 (For Andrew Brenner's first season, this was very good)
 * Season 5 (Although this season is the first one to have a few duds to me, I enjoy most of its episodes. And it did introduce a few likeable characters, but it also introduced a few of my least favorite characters)
 * Season 19 (Not as good as Seasons 17 and 18, but it's still quite a good season)
 * Season 7 (A good season that introduced quite a few likeable characters, and this season was a good way to end the classic series)
 * Season 6 (Good season, but I don't really like the US narrations)
 * Season 8 (A pretty underrated season if you ask me. Yes, it has a few duds, but most episodes are enjoyable)
 * Season 11 (This season isn't great, but I enjoyed about half of its episodes)
 * Season 12 (Not a great season, but the CGI animation did look nice)
 * Season 10 (An average season. Yes, it introduced some characters that became popular in future seasons, but this season has some of the worst episodes ever)
 * Season 9 (Another average season. Most episodes aren't great, but I can tolerate with some of this season's new characters)
 * Season 14 (I don't really like this season, but this is the season I find the least bad)
 * Season 16 (Another bad season, but at least we got to hear the classic series theme, as well as a likeable new character (Stafford) and the return of the Skarloey Railway)
 * Season 15 (A pretty bad season with some of the worst episodes to date)
 * Season 13 (Worst season ever! And no, it's not because it was the first season to be in full CGI. It's because a majority of this season was boring. Also, Thomas had way too many starring roles. I like him, but I don't think he really needs 13 starring roles per season)

Narrators from Favorite to Least Favorite
TV Series Narrators
 * George Carlin (He is the most nostalgia narrator to me. His narrations of Seasons 1-4 are one of the reasons why those seasons are my most favorite ones)
 * Ringo Starr (He's not as nostalgia as George Carlin, but he's still enjoyable to listen to)
 * Mark Moraghan (He's done a fantastic job as narrator since 2013)
 * Michael Brandon (TBH, I think he's the most overhated narrator the whole series. I admit he's not great, but he did put in effort in his narrations)
 * Michael Angelis (I didn't grew up with him, but I did hear him narrate the episodes on the New Friends for Thomas US video, and his UK narrations on the internet. I thought he sounded good in the early seasons, but in the new seasons, he started to sound more and more bland to me)
 * Alec Baldwin (Season 5; This was Alec Baldwin's best season IMO. Some of his character voices in this season were quite good, like Bill and Ben)
 * Pierce Brosnan (He didn't sound great when narrating The Great Discovery, but I thought he did alright. I think that if he had stayed on as narrator for the show, he would have improved)
 * Alec Baldwin (Season 6; I did not like the way he narrated this season. He just sounded like he didn't care how his narrations sounded. The only voice he did in this season that I kinda liked was his Salty voice)

Railway Series Narrators
 * Willie Rushton (Best RWS narrator of all. He really put his all when narrating)
 * Ted Robbins (Not as good as Willie Rushton, but he was still pretty good)
 * Ben Forster (He seems to make the stories he's telling feel entertaining to watch)
 * Wilbert Awdry (I only heard him narrate two stories, but I thought he did well narrating them)
 * John Gielgud (Again, I only heard him narrate two stories, but he did sound alright to me)
 * Johnny Morris (Worst narrator in the whole franchise (even worse than Alec Baldwin)! The repeated lines and sound imitations he did were annoying. And most of his voices could have been a LOT better)

Other Narrators
 * Ron Haddrick (I've only heard a few of his narrations so far, but I think he did very well narrating some of the mini books)
 * Simon Prebble (He's very good)
 * Andrew Sachs (He's pretty good)
 * Richman Hoxsey (I think he's good, but not great)
 * Robin Smith (His narrations are alright. Not bad, but not great either)

Foreign Narrators
 * Leo Morimoto (Japanese) (The Japanese dubs are amazing)
 * Manfred Steffen (German) (He did a good job narrating)
 * John Ogwen (Welsh) (His narrations were pretty good)
 * Gérard Boucaron/Blanche Ravalec (French) (Both narrated very well)
 * Trine Lossius Borg (Norwegian) (Her narrations are pretty good)
 * Mykola Koziy (Ukrainian) (His narrations are okay, but the English tracks in the background can get distracting)

All the lists combined
 * George Carlin
 * Ringo Starr
 * Mark Moraghan
 * Willie Rushton
 * Michael Brandon
 * Ted Robbins
 * Ben Forster
 * Wilbert Awdry
 * Michael Angelis
 * Leo Morimoto

 * 39) Darren Boyd (His Theo voice is brilliant)

Honorable Mentions: Clive Mantle, Robert Wilfort, John Hasler, Nathan Clarke, Colin McFarlane and Jim Howick

Least Favorite Voices
I don't really that many least favorite voice actors in the show, so here are a few voices throughout the series that I don't like.
 * Susan Roman as James (I hate her James voice in Magic Railroad with passion. Michael Angelis would have been much better)
 * Ben Small as Thomas (Ben Small's voice for the tank engine sounded too high pitch)
 * Matt Wilkinson as Bash (Nothing against Matt, I just think his Bash voice is too annoying)
 * Keith Wickham as Dash (Same reason as Matt Wilkinson as Bash)
 * Christopher Ragland as Trevor (It's not a bad voice. It just doesn't suit Trevor very much. However, I do think that kind of voice would suit Hank when/if he returns to the series)

Favorite Quotes
You saw my favorite quote at the top of the page, and now here are some more quotes from the series that I really like. "There are two ways of doing things: the Great Western way, or the wrong way. I'm Great Western and..." "Don't we know it!"

- Duck, Henry, Gordon and James, Pop Goes the Diesel

"Duck called me a Galloping Sausage! Rusty Red Scrap Iron! I'm Old Square Wheels!"

- Gordon, James and Henry, Dirty Work

"Time's time! Why should I keep my passengers waiting while Henry and James dawdle about all day on viaducts? Don't blame me. If we hurry across the viaduct, it might collapses. And then you'd have no passengers at all. What would you do then? Run my train on time for one thing!"

- Thomas and Henry, Better Late Than Never

"Feeble? Feeble?! Let me..."

- Daisy, Daisy

"Ye heard, 'Quack, quack' ye go! Sounds like you'd an egg laid! Now wheesht and let an engine sleep!" "Quack yourself!"

- Donald and Duck, Donald's Duck

"Got yourself in a bit of a jam, eh James? A sticky situation?"

- Percy, Percy, James and the Fruitful Day

"I'm a plan blunt engine! I speak as I find. Tunnels should be tunnels, and not rabbit holes! This railway is no good at all!"

- Duncan, Home at Last

"Well, seems I wouldn't be able to eat my hat even if I had to."

- Sir Topham Hatt, Baa!

"But can you smell something? What?! Fresh air! Oh, yes."

- Thomas and Henry, Something in the Air

"Hello, Percy. I see you found the meeting place."

- Stephen, The Phantom Express

"Heeere's James!"

- Sir Topham Hatt and Gordon, Buckled Tracks and Bumpy Trucks

I'll add more soon.

My Ideas of Voice Actors for Characters
These are my personal ideas of voice actors for characters who have yet to appear in the CGI series, as well as non-televised characters. I also added ideas for characters who have appeared in CGI, but have not spoken at all. I even added in some voice actors that are currently not part of the voice cast. However, not every character will be listed as there are some characters that I don't think should return.

Characters That I Think Should Stay in the Past
These are characters who I personally would not want to see in the CGI series.

9. S.C. Ruffey

In the Railway Series version of Toad Stands By, S.C. Ruffey was scrapped after being pulled apart by Oliver, yet, in the TVS adaptation, he was re-built, and I don't know why. And I'm not taking "to not scare kids" for an answer because if that was the case, why didn't they re-built the Spiteful Brake Van after he was crushed by Douglas? Plus, he didn't even appear again after TSB, which makes his re-build pointless (excluding episodes where trucks wore his face). Unless they were going to do a CGI version of Toad Stands By (maybe get right what the S4 adaptation got wrong), S.C. Ruffey has no chance of returning.

8. Sixteen

Sixteen's story is basically the same as Godred's (Bad Look-Out). What made the mountain engine's story great was that right at the end, it's revealed that Culdee made the story up, and that leaves you wondering what really happened to Godred. However, Sixteen got a happy ending and was sold to a preservation society in the Midlands, and now works on their railway. The only that that leaves you wondering is if he reformed after that. That said, I am impressed by what WildNorWester did with him in his series, Sodor: the Early/Modern Years. And I'd be very impressed if Andrew Brenner and his team can do something like with Sixteen. If not, then don't bother with him.

7. Smudger/Stanley (No. 2)

People, Smudger (or Stanley, going by the RWS) is dead now. He rode roughly on the rails, got his comeuppances by getting turned into a generator and no one in Duke's search party cared for him. Unless the writers have plans on re-creating the Duke the Lost Engine stories, these two have no chance of returning in CGI.

BTW, out of the two, I kinda prefer Stanley over Smudger because the former looks more original, while the latter is just a green Rheneas.

6. Lady

I don't see where Lady would fit in in the series. Magic has never existed on Sodor before and after Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and the less said of that movie, the better. Maybe she can be used as a dream engine, like in Calling All Engines!. But if the writers can't do that, then don't bother rendering her in CGI.

5. The Spiteful Brake Van

He was crushed by Douglas, and now he's dead. And considering how he treated Douglas, who would want him back?

4. Splatter and Dodge

The show already has enough Class 08 diesels, and they're more likeable than these two will ever be.

3. Billy

All Billy did in his only appearance was act like a spoiled brat, and got no punishment for it. And since we have Charlie (who's developing much more than Billy ever did), what's the point in having this brat return?

2. The Horrid Lorries

These guys were complete jerks, and not the kind of characters you'd "love to hate". I can't forgive them for what they said to the engines. And since it was stated that the lorries didn't return, I would assume that they were scrapped after their episode.

1. Vinnie

You guys probably saw this on coming. And I know it's been confirmed that Vinnie is going to just be a one-off, but I'm hoping it stays like that. Like the Horrid Lorries, Vinnie isn't the kind of character you'd "love to hate". He's just the kind of engine that you want to send to the scrap yards. And since I'm North American, I find a character like Vinnie to be disgraceful to all North Americans everywhere.

Thomas and Friends Movies Reviews
Every week, I'll be posting my thoughts on each episode of the movies until I reach the last one.

Movie: King of the Railway

And now, I've reached the special that was the start of the Brenner-era. Did it bring the new era to a great start? Let's find out.

What I Liked

The plot was pretty good.

The introduction of five characters who became popular as the series went on. I am of course talking about Sir Robert Norramby (the Earl of Sodor), Millie (who is now my all-time favorite character), Stephen, Connor and Caitlin.

The re-write of Working Together that was used in this special. But I thought the other songs were good too.

The story of King Godred at the beginning. It showed what Sodor was like before the railways were built.

The scene where Thomas saves Stephen from falling from the bridge near the mines. It was a bit exciting. And yes, the bit where Jack held the bridge did look like the scene from A Friend in Need where he tried to save Thomas from falling.

Some of Stephen's lines were funny (especially the "I never saw dinosaurs either" line).

The return of Jack the Front Loader. And I have to say, he looks better in CGI than he did in the model-era, especially since he now has a square body (not that I had a problem with his old model).

What I Didn't Like

Part of this special's writing seemed a bit wonky in some areas. What I mean is it felt like the special was telling about three different stories (one being about the restoration of Ulfstead Castle, another being about Stephen trying to find his job and another about Spencer and Gordon). And it can make the special a bit confusing on it's suppose to be about. To be fair, it was Andrew Brenner's first special, and he did improve a bit on writing in future specials (except for one, which we'll get to in four weeks).

It was said no one knew where Stephen was, but Skarloey knew that Stephen went to mines at Ulfstead Castle. I bring this up because Skarloey was seen when Luke tells Thomas that he didn't know where Stephen was either. So couldn't Skarloey had spoken up, and say where he heard Stephen was going? Of course, then we wouldn't have the search for Stephen scenes.

Final Thoughts

This review may not be as long as my past movie reviews, but that's mainly because I don't have a whole lot to say about this special. I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong. However, it's a bit confusing on what the main plot is suppose to be (is it suppose to be about the restoration of Ulfstead Castle or Stephen searching for his new job?). It's not as great as other specials Andrew Brenner wrote, but it is enjoyable and has some humorous moments.
