About me
Hello, I'm Lightening McQueen. I am a fan of Thomas & Friends, as I like anthromorphic vehicles, and I also like the actions and quotes throughout the series (especially Sir Topham Hatt's quote from "Henry Gets the Express", "His firebox?! Now?!"), as well as some of the female characters, especially Caitlin and Emily. Thomas is of course my most favourite character because he is the star of the show. I even really like the female Indian engine Ashima, as I really like female Indian characters, along with India being one of my favourite foreign countries. I like both the classic series (counting the new series) and the CGI series, which I like the voices, such as Ben Small for the original UK voice of Thomas in the CGI series, John Hasler for the current UK voice of Thomas, Rob Rackstraw for the current UK voice of James, Tina Desai for the voice of Ashima, Maggie Ollerenshaw for Henrietta, and Teresa Gallagher for Emily and Annie and Clarabel. I even like Keith Wickham's voice for Salty, as I feel that it is perfect for when I think about quiet stuff sometimes. When I was younger, I was originally not much used to Salty for some reason. I even like Matt Wilkinson's voice for Diesel 10, and I believe that his quote and voice in the post-credits scene of Misty Island Rescue is again perfect for quiet stuff. As I live in the UK, I like having Ringo Starr, Michael Angelis and Mark Moraghan narrating the TV series (though we have John Hasler narrating now). I also like some of the songs, such as "Accidents Will Happen", "Thomas' Anthem", "Really Useful Engine", "Come for the Ride", "It's Gonna be a Great Day", "Thomas, You're the Leader", "Never Overlook A Little Engine" and "You Can Only Be You". I also used to not want to watch "Buzz, Buzz" because of my fear of bees, but I have got used to the episode now. I stopped watching the television series somewhere between 2010 and 2011 because I was concerned about people saying that I would be too old for Thomas, but I got back into watching it in 2013 after hearing a couple of friends at college talking about it, along with my mother telling me that it does not matter how old I am to watch Thomas. Sometimes, it makes me think about the television series having original stories and characters that have not been in The Railway Series, because I thought that film and television companies usually cannot make original stories of franchises based on books. I also really like The Adventure Begins, as I feel interested to see stories from The Railway Series and the original television series adapted into CGI, even noticing a couple of differences (especially when Thomas goes after James' runaway train, which that does not really happen in The Railway Series and the classic television series). I give it five stars, and because I like it so much, I kept on watching it in the first few months of its release. I also really enjoyed The Great Race, as the plot, songs and characters made it interesting, especially with having Ashima and the Flying Scotsman. Plus, I have enjoyed series 20, especially with that I was happy to watch "Bradford the Brake Van" on TV on Milkshake! when I had to watch the first four episodes online. I've enjoyed all of the episodes of series 21, especially "Dowager Hatt's Busy Day" and "P.A. Problems", as well as Journey Beyond Sodor (they've all been great for my favourite year of 2017!). The intro from series 19 onwards also makes me think about Thomas & Friends being one of my favourite shows. I also like the last three episodes of series 20, as they are the first episodes to be based on Railway Series stories since series 4. I was indeed surprised hearing about Big World! Big Adventures! and what will be happening in series 22, in which half of the episodes will show Thomas in his adventures during the movie, while the other half show the Island of Sodor but with Edward and Henry replaced in the Steam Team, but I am interested that Ashima will return. However, I will remember that because of all these new elements in series 22 and ''Big World! Big Adventures!, my best friend, who is also a Thomas & Friends fan, will not watch anything after series 21 and Journey Beyond Sodor, because he does not like these new changes in series 22 and Big World! Big Adventures!, but he is still a Thomas fan, at least of everything up to series 21 and Journey Beyond Sodor'' except for some episodes of series 8 and many episodes from series 9-16. I probably won't enjoy series 22 and ''Big World! Big Adventures!'' as much as the previous episodes and specials anyway, by looking at the new intro used for series 22 and seeing that there is a bit of lack of realism (along with one bit I did not really like which showed Thomas being pushed by an elephant), but I do like the new theme song as well as the characters Rebecca and Nia, though, and I kind of like the idea of Thomas travelling around the world (especially India and Kenya). I do like how every episode of series 21 has been aired in 2017, and I think "Confused Coaches" was probably the best way to finish it.
