Incorrect Ttte Quotes 961:
*The Pack is standing around a broken coffee machine as Patrick speaks*
Patrick: So........Who broke it?
Patrick: I'm not mad. I just want to know.
Brenda: ......I did!-
Patrick: No, no. You didn't. Jack?
Jack: Don't look at me! Look at Max!
Max: What?!?! I didn't break it!!!
Jack: Huh. That's weird. How you'd even know it was broken?
Max: Because it's sitting right in front of us, and it's broken smartass.
Jack: ....Suspicious....
Max: No!!! It's not!!!
Nelson: If-If it matters, probably not. But Isobella was the last one to use it.
Isobella: Why?!?! I don't even drink that filthy crap!!!!
Nelson: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier???
Isobella: I use the wooden stirrers to clean out my cuticles, everybody knows that Nelson!!!
Brenda: Okay!!! Okay!!! Let's not fight!!! I broke it, let me pay for it.
Patrick: NO. WHO BROKE IT?
Alfie: Patrick.....Buster has been quiet for a long time now....
Buster: OH REALLY?!?!?-
*Every single member of the Pack begins fighting amongst themselves as Patrick steps away and actually explains who broke the coffee machine*
Patrick: I broke it. I burnt my hand so I punched it. I predict 10 minutes from now that they'll beat each others' throats with war paint on their faces and pig heads on a stick.
Patrick: Good. It was getting a little chummy here.

Jack and the Pack members in their animal forms
No concept art for now, just brainstorming what the pack would be as animals in my Thomas & Friends AU.
Jack - floppy-eared goat with front loader wheels on his legs
Nelson - Tuxedo Cat with ballast tractor wheels on his legs
Byron - Texas longhorn with bulldozer wheels (obviously)
Isobella - dairy sheep with steam lorry wheels on her legs
Kelly - Friesian Horse with crane wheels on his legs
Alfie - British Shorthair cat with excavator wheels on his legs
Ned - Gyspy Horse with steam shovel wheels on his legs
Patrick - St. Bernard with cement mixer wheels
Max and Monty - bulls with dump truck wheels on legs
Oliver - large billy goat with excavator wheels
Now, since they are construction vehicles, I'm thinking whether it's necessary to keep the mechanical parts on them as animals. Jack's horns could be implemented as his plow, f.e, so no parts necessary for him . . . . . . I'll think about it.
I forgot to make a post earlier about this, and it's technically the 10th of October now (only by slightly over an hour as of me writing this), but it was the 40th anniversary of the TTTE TV series.
Even though there were series of TTTE that were less good, the fact that the series that were good are still so well remembered to this day shows how impactful the show is. I love the books as much as the show, and grew up with both. I am mainly going to be talking about the show here, but most if not all of my points here also apply to the books.
I love how quaint, full of character and full of life the show is. So many characters are memorable and have such distinct personalities, from cheeky to haughty to cheerful to determined. The show has very good and memorable music as well.
Now I am going to give my own opinions about the series in general. I love series 1-7 and the Jack and the Pack series, I like the music for series 8-16 but the writing feels condescending and the characters are limited and do not act like themselves, I really enjoy series 17-20, I feel a bit conflicted about series 21 (I like some things, but not others, mainly the bouncing of the engines, the bouncing really irks me), and I have both feelings of indifference and second hand embarrassment when it comes to series 22-24.
Diverting from the subject slighly, I haven't seen much of All Engines Go, but from what I've seen, it's fine. It doesn't stand out, but it isn't the worst thing that I've seen. It's disappointing how childlike a fair few of the characters are, and how they jump all over the place to the point that the tracks might as well not be there, but it doesn't really try to be the original show, so I'm rather unfazed.
I also have my own opinions on the narrators. I love Ringo Starr's narration, I do like George Carlin's narration, I love Michael Angelis' narration (though this does depend on the series) and I also like Alec Baldwin's narration.
Michael Brandon though, I only like his narration in the Jack and the Pack episodes. The rest of his narration though, I really don't like it at all. He uses the nasally voice all of the time, and I can't stand it, and I just don't think that his voices suit the characters. I do feel bad for him though, it seems that he does have enthusiasm, and I do like the Texan voice that he uses for some characters (Kelly is one of them, and I do think that it suits him) to be fair. His narration just isn't for me in my opinion.
Characters wise, my favourites are probably very obvious, but I'm going to say them anyway. Not in a particular order, Duck, Sir Handel, Kelly and Nelson are my favourites. I love all of them equally, and they are protected under the law of me. I love them all for different reasons, but I might save those rambles for separate posts.
This ramble has little flow (as per usual), but to conclude, this show means a lot to me. It always has and always will be. Happy 40th anniversary TTTE. I love rambling about this show.
So what dose jack and the pack look like then? Since there rare in the island.
fun wacky diverse fellas
