The Best Thomas the Tank Engine Episode From Every Season

Having made a list of the worst episodes from every season, I feel as though it only makes sense that I go over the best episodes from every season. I will not be covering episodes that I have already talked about. If you want to know what I think the best episode is from a season I skipped, go and read my list of my top 10 favorite episodes.

For season 4, we have Gallant Old Engine. The situation in this episode is pretty screwed up. The weather is crap, the passenger train is fully loaded, and the valve gear is jammed. Even though he’s in serious pain, Rheneas keeps going. The Skarloey railway is on the verge of shutting down, and Rheneas doesn’t know how much longer he’s going to have a career. This old timer isn’t going down without a fight. This railway is his home, and as evidenced by the fact that he continues going despite being severely damaged, he will do anything if it means he can keep this place running.

For season 10, we have It’s Good to Be Gordon. This is the episode where fans of the show have noticed a giant plot hole, but they simply don’t give a crap and still consider this to be one of the best episodes of the Hit Era. I am one of those fans. Yeah, it is kind of weird that Henry still needs special coal despite having been rebuilt, but I’m willing to overlook that because of the way Gordon is in this episode. At first, he doesn’t view taking on Henry’s special coal as that big of an issue. But then when he notices Henry struggling without it, he begins to feel guilty. He’s about to reach Knapford on time and set his new express record. But then he realizes that Henry is genuinely unwell, and decides to go back and help him, swapping tenders so that Henry can have his special coal. Gordon does show up to the station very late as a result of this, but it doesn’t matter, because he helped one of his friends, which is more important. And like Thomas said, he still holds the previous record.

For season 11, we have Hector the Horrid. This episode has something nobody could have ever predicted. A nice truck, that isn’t troublesome. Hector doesn’t seem this way at first. He looks like he is a very threatening bully, and everyone is intimidated by him. The only one who isn’t intimidated is Thomas. He snaps when Rosie is scared away. I love the way Thomas is characterized in this episode. Yes, he is a cheeky engine, but he has his limits. Picking on him is one thing, but he draws the line at his friends being picked on. But then he realizes that Hector isn’t really that bad of a guy. The reason why he’s so scared is because he doesn’t want to be filled up with coal. Now, this does seem like a very strange thing to be frightened of. But just like in real life, people can become nervous when it comes to trying new things, and sometimes they just need a friend to show them that everything is going to be okay. The episode shows that even the people in life that seem like jerks have their insecurities just like everyone else.

For season 12, we have James Works It Out. Another episode about Hector. I really wish he was kept in future seasons to come. He’s a good character. Now, it’s no secret that James is not the biggest fan of Troublesome Trucks. Even if we look past his vain attitude, trucks are nobody’s friends. They are constantly causing trouble for the engines. So it’s understandable for James to not want to take advice from Hector. But after they get stuck in the snow, James realizes that he screwed up, and he needs Hector’s help. And sure enough, with his help, they are able to make it to Great Waterton with their delivery. It’s a good moral. Don’t assume that someone is bad, just because of the background they came from. It’s okay to be cautious, but don’t dismiss them entirely.

For season 14, we have Victor Says Yes. In this episode, several engines need repairs, but there is only so much the workmen can do. Victor, not wanting to be rude, just can’t deny help to any of them. While I do think it’s weird that an engine is the one giving orders instead of a certified manager, I think several people can relate to Victor. Sometimes, people just don’t want to be rude, and can’t say no. Unlike most pieces of fiction, where the main character inevitably puts his foot down and says no, Victor lets everyone down easy, and tells them to come back another day. It shows that you can tell someone you can’t help with their problem, without having to be rude about it.

For season 15, we have Henry’s Happy Coal. This is another instance of Henry not needing special coal anymore being retconned, and me not giving a crap. Not wanting to be made fun of by Arry and Bert, Henry takes on ordinary coal instead of his special coal. He has a VIP with him, and he doesn’t want to look weak. This leads to Henry feeling legitimately sick, and you would think The Fat Controller would be upset with him. Instead, he is concerned, showing that despite how strict he is, he does care for his engines. Henry ultimately realizes that he needs his special coal regardless of whether or not he’s mocked for it. I think this is a good moral for people with special needs. If you’re different from others, and you need special treatment, you don’t have to be embarrassed about it. Different people have different needs, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Don’t be ashamed of who you are, embrace it.

For season 16, we have Happy Birthday Sir. This is my favorite episode of season 16, not necessarily because of the plot, but because of the worldbuilding. We find out that when The Fat Controller was a young man, every year on his birthday, he would visit all the stations, riding on a special coach. I’ll admit, it is a little bit annoying that Winston isn’t clear enough to Thomas on what he’s trying to do. But the payoff at the end is perfect. The old coach is found, and restored, continuing a running theme of the series. Something old being made new again.

For season 17, we have Henry’s Hero. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that Hiro is the best character to come from the CGI series. He’s a wise mentor figure, but he’s not perfect either. This is an episode where there are two flawed protagonists. Both Henry and Hiro are in the wrong here. Hiro should know his own limits, and Henry should know that you shouldn’t give up so easily. The climax of the episode gives off Super Rescue vibes. The best Railway Series story to feature Henry as the lead. The Unlucky Tug actually made a video on why this episode is so great. You should watch it.

For season 18, we have Last Train for Christmas. I’m just going to come out and say it. This is the best Christmas related episode of the show. It revolves around a very serious situation. The island is completely covered with snow, and there’s a chance that not everyone is going to make it home for the holidays. Despite this massive issue, the engines do not give up. It wasn’t easy, but they were able to get the tracks cleared for Connor. Also, that little boy that was on crutches? Tiny Tim vibes. Very wholesome. I love it when the show has sweet moments like this.

For season 19, we have Goodbye Fat Controller. This episode is just hilarious. The concept of the engines actually thinking The Fat Controller wants to leave the island is just absurd. It gets even more hilarious when they think he’s actually being forced to leave. Then they proceed to go on strike, intentionally causing railway delays. Only to then find out that he’s just temporarily leaving his office because it’s being redecorated. And at the end, the pathetic excuse for a temporary office that he has is just brilliant. This episode is just hilarious.

For season 21, we have A Shed for Edward. Unlike most fans, I don’t have an issue with Edward being removed from the main cast. Because he had a very good finale episode. I know a lot of people don’t like him, but I think Philip is a really good character. And I like how an old engine like Edward takes on a mentor role, to what is essentially a hyperactive little kid. It also comes full circle for Edward. His first ever episode revolved around wanting to leave his shed, and this one revolves around him trying to find one. A really good way to send off Edward. I just wish his replacement was actually someone I gave a crap about.

For season 22, we have An Engine of Many Colors. Unpopular opinion, but I actually like the fantasy sequences of the BWBA era. It works, because the ridiculous and over the top cartoon antics aren’t actually happening. It’s in the world of imagination. And these weird dreams about James being painted all of these different colors are just hilarious. The way James is characterized is brilliant. He’s going through this cycle of guilt. At this point, he doesn’t even care about not being red anymore. He just wants to be useful. But being the kind man he is, The Fat Controller realizes that he’s sorry, and lets him keep his red livery.

For season 23, we have Mines of Mystery. I don’t think that many of you expected an international episode. But when you think about it, this episode has things to appreciate. For one, we actually have Sodor characters other than Thomas this time. I don’t think anyone expected to see the pack come all the way to Italy. There’s also the hilarious Down The Mine reference. And the way Lorenzo and Beppe are rescued is kind of similar to how Hiro was rescued in Hero of the Rails. Stuck in the middle of nowhere for God knows how long, until someone finally finds them. Lorenzo’s personality is brilliant. Definitely the best of the international characters in this era. And then there’s also Lorenzo’s song that’s about this episode. Really catchy. In my opinion, this is the best of the BWBA international episodes.

For season 24, we have Thomas and the Royal Engine. I think most of you expected this. I speak for many, when I say this is the best episode of the BWBA era. And being that this was the final episode of the show, they really went out on a good note. All of the references made feel genuine, and don’t come off as unnecessary fan service. Thomas and The Fat Controller go through hell, but they make it to Buckingham Palace on time. And I love how meta the ending is, with the queen bringing up how the Railway Series exists in this universe. After 24 seasons, you couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the show.

Well, there you have it. What are your favorite episodes of the show? Let me know what you think in the comments.

Going into the season finale at the Orange Speedway, Curtis Turner and Lloyd Moore would be the only two drivers mathematically eligible for the championship. In order to win the title Loyd Moore would have to win the race, and Curtis Turner would have to finish outside the top 7. That would result in Lloyd Moore winning the championship by a single point. If Loyd Moore were to win the race and Curtis Turner were to finish seventh, it would end in a tie, and Curtis Turner would have the tiebreaker with the better finishes. Curtis Turner can clinch the championship with a seventh place finish or better. The race would end with Lee Petty taking the win, Buck Baker finishing second, Weldon Adams finishing third, Tim Flock finishing fourth, Bill Blair finishing fifth, Gayle Warren finishing sixth, and Ray Duhigg finishing seventh.

Fifty first place: Duane Carter, 1 point

Fifty second place: Jack Kabat, 1 point

Fifty third place: Cotton Owens, 1 point

Fifty fourth place: Jimmy Thompson, 1 point

Fifty fifth place: Jack Holloway, 1 point

And there you have it. In this alternate timeline, instead of Bill Rexford, it is Curtis Turner who wins the championship. A driver who has never won the championship in real life. And in this alternate timeline, even if Lee Petty didn’t receive his controversial points penalty, it wouldn’t make a difference. Curtis Turner still wins the championship regardless.

The 1949 NASCAR Strictly Stock Series, With the Mario Kart Double Dash/DS Point System

As many of you know, Mario Kart has more than one point system. We’re going back to the inaugural season, and looking at how the championship would have been, if they used the point system that was used for both Mario Kart Double Dash, and Mario Kart DS. The way the point system worked was like this. First place got 10 points, second place got 8, third place got 6, fourth place got 4, fifth place got 3, sixth place got 2, seventh place got 1, and eighth on back got no points. Now before we start, I want everyone to know that this is all hypothetical. I know these drivers would have raced differently had this system been in place. With that said, lets get into the season.

The first race ever at the Charlotte Speedway would end in controversy. Glenn Dunnaway crossed the finish line first, but was then disqualified, after it was discovered that he had illegally modified springs. Jim Roper would end up winning the race by default. Fonty Flock would finish second, Red Byron would finish third, Sam Rice would finish fourth, Tim Flock would finish fifth, Archie Smith would finish sixth, and Sterling Long would finish seventh.

First place: Jim Roper, 10 points

Second place: Fonty Flock, 8 points

Third place: Red Byron, 6 points

Fourth place: Sam Rice, 4 points

Fifth place: Tim Flock, 3 points

Sixth place: Archie Smith, 2 points

Seventh place: Sterling Long, 1 point

The second race of the season at the Daytona Beach and Road Course would have Red Byron taking the win. Tim Flock would finish second, Frank Mundy would finish third, Joe Littlejohn would finish fourth, Bill Blair would finish fifth, Frank Christian would finish sixth, and Bill Snowden would finish seventh. Red Byron now leads the standings by 5 points.

The third race of the season at the Orange Speedway would have Bob Flock taking the win with Gober Sosobee finishing second, Glenn Dunnaway finishing third, Fonty Flock finishing fourth, Bill Snowden finishing fifth, Bill Blair finishing sixth, and Tim Flock finishing seventh.

Going into the season finale at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, Red Byron would have so many points that he would already have the championship clinched, regardless of what happens in the race. Bob Flock would win the race, securing second place in the final standings. Lee Petty would finish second, Fonty Flock would finish third, Clyde Minter would finish fourth, Herb Thomas would finish fifth, Roy Hall would finish sixth, and Ray Erickson would finish seventh.

Weird Things That Have Happened in a NASCAR Race: Part III

Welcome back, we are doing part 3. This sport just has so many things that have happened that are just crazy. Let’s take a look at what we got. By the way, when we get to the final one on this list, I am not held responsible if you shit yourself laughing.

First up, we have an incident that happened in 2013 at Pocono. NASCAR had to throw a caution, because of a grass fire in turn 3. Although it wasn’t actually on the infield grass, it was right behind the inside wall. Honestly, even though this wasn’t on the actual racetrack, I can understand the reason for the yellow. If a car were to crash into that part of the wall under green flag conditions while it was on fire, that could lead to problems. I can guarantee that if this happened at Loudon, NASCAR would not throw a caution. I mean for crying out loud, that track literally has cars on the side of the wall where drivers race. If you don’t believe me, look at a picture of that track on Google images.

That same season at Richmond, they once again had to throw the caution, and this was because one of the sprinklers in the infield grass started going off. How the hell did this happen? Did they forget to turn the track sprinklers off before the race? Prior to watching this clip, I didn’t even know racetracks had sprinklers in the infield.

During the 2014 Sprint Unlimited, the race had to be red flagged, because the pace car burst into flames. We’ve seen this happen to several racecars on the track, but the freaking pace car? That is definitely a new one. Thankfully Brett Bodine, who was the driver of the pace car, was able to get out completely unharmed. Thank God he didn’t start running around the track in his underwear and start praying to Tom Cruise.

During practice for the 2011 Budweiser Shootout, everything had to be halted, because the lights went out. The entire racetrack was covered in darkness. Everyone knows that cars in NASCAR don’t have headlights, they are painted on. So, they couldn’t really do anything at the moment. When it’s late at night, you’re usually supposed to turn out all the lights. That doesn’t apply on a racetrack.

Now, I saved the funniest for last. 2004 Watkins Glen. During the race, Tony Stewart was having stomach cramps, he wasn’t feeling very well. Eventually, the cramps he was having led to him shitting himself. Despite this, he still went on to win the race. But he wasn’t able to go to victory lane afterwards, because he needed to get himself cleaned up. Honestly, I have never heard of a driver being in such a crappy situation. XD

That’s it for today folks. If you have any ideas for unusual moments you’ve seen during a race, let me know in the comments, and I might make a part 4.
