Hello all!
after almost a month I'm back.
@HornbyFan
I'm sorry I haven't gotten a script together. With Finals, school in general, computer troubles and everything else that could go wrong....
I plan to have it done by late June. But all I ask is that you pm me which story (out of those 3) I sent forever ago and I'll start working right away.
And further more with summer closly rising upon us I'm hoping for a Bachmann Duck pic too! AND MY VACATION!
So I'm glad to be back!

When do you want my script by?  I have so many tests right now and projects...I'll write it I just want a deadline.

You impress me every time. GOOD JOB!

I think I will need to have 8 ep's this season!  I am glad everyone wants to contribute.  I have made a roster of the writers to show what spots are left.

1-Jettrainfan (it would be nice to know ur first name;)
2-Caleb
3-Caleb
4-John
5-?
6-?
7-Tony
8-Tony

This is John and Jett's last chance to write 2 episodes this season.  I will see if I can have 12 ep's in 2014.  that means pre-production of this would have to happen this summer (in a new thread) I will also extend the range of characters for that.

Writers, get in touch! any of you guys have facetime?

Yes I did get in touch. We already have some ideas rolling. (rolling pun intended)
I'd help anyone else too.
(While I was typing my post I see HornbyFan introduced me)

Trust Thomas
9 out of 10
Reason: I love this episode. Top 5 in my book. But it teaches a lesson without OVER teaching it. It's is an episode we all remember and it's very entertaining. I love the crash in this and the way they tied Bertie into this. Plus it's not like the modern day stuffit's just good. Can't beat the classics.
Wonky Whistles:
2 out of 10
Reason: It could be worse. Barely but it can. It's a stupid plot. If that whistle scaes the animals away wouldn't his regular whistle do the same. He almost killed that guy on the ladder, and I still hate the Steamworks. AND THAT SAME STRIKE SYSTEM! UGH I miss episodes like the one above this.

                                                                  
                                                                             THE REVIEW THREAD!
Some of you may remember the old idea I had about posting a video every day and having everyone review that episode. Well I'm relaunching this thread but I will post 2 different videos every Monday. (Today is the exception) Are there rules to this thread, yes?
Rules:
Every Review must consist of
a 1-10 rating
No foul language
A reasonable explantion of why you said what you rated it as.
No commenting on other people's review if you have a problem PM them or me.
Stay on reviewing everythin g or anything else should go in a different thread.
Have fun.
....

With the recent talk of Youtube thefts...DO NOT BRING IT HERE... the Youtube user owns these videos as well as Thomas and Friends I am simply posting a link no copyright...

Well that I can't take credit for. I saw it in a comment on Youtube. But reading it from this thread You're Welcome.

I apologize for butting in (if I am), but I must say that Season 16 was much more enjoyable than Season 15. By the way, JJ96, you said the old theme returned. Where and when? I'm just curious. But yeah, I agree with many points you presented like longer expresses, Henry and the "Kipper", etc.

7:30-(some other stuff)-at the end
It was alittle difficult to make out but you can tell if you listen.

Stafford has no merchandise even announced yet. How is that going to make HiT any money?

Just becuase a toy hasn't been announced yet doesn't mean they won't make one.

@Cuplix the Azelf
I simply meant through the episode he continued to stall, and stall, and stall (well run out technically).
Basically that's what I found unreliable. The position they had him in simply wouldn't work for him.
Shunting would work as long as the charger was nearby WHICH BRINGS UP A QUESTION if the battery keeps running out how does he make it back to be recharged? It didn't say someone pushed him. To me it seemed like a repeat of the episode where Toby ran out of water and James how to push him...it feels like that alittle.
Overall I did find him useless. BUT LIKE YOU SAID it was my opinion + I didn't know all about the # and stuff.
THANK YOU! WINSTON IS NOW IN MY FAVE FIVE OF CGI's.

                                                                   Season 16 Boost or Bust?
                                                             
This season was a definite up from the past season, that season being season 15.
Ups?
Returns
*Characters (Narrow Gauge FINALLY)
*Characteristics....Spencer showed Arrogance, Edward age etc
*Specials-For one of the episodes Henry, Edward, and Thomas were the special choices even though Thomas got it usually Gordon, James, or Percy replaces Edward and Henry.
*The Old Theme
*That new car caught my interest I DON'T KNOW WHY...he was cool.
*History-It showed a young Sir Topham Hatt and Edward who was one of the first there.
*Graphics
*Longer expresses...Gordon had like 5 coaches. Haven't seen that in awhile
*It even said Thomas on his branch line, Henry with the Flying Kipper...etc etc.
*A sense of story telling
"What do you mean by that?"
Well my major complaint ever since Season 9 was the show based too much on repetition, the 3 strike system, ridiculous rhymes, and focusing too much on teaching lessons and not enough story telling Season 1-6 told stories with that hidden sense of don't make that mistake or keep you promises "no matter what the weather". Basically the reason those were the best days of Thomas...in some instances I felt that alittle more in the episodes. It will be slow but Thomas and Friends will be the show we all know it can be with that 110% effort on the part of the writers.
Downs?
*There was still repetition even though less then usual there was
*Stafford...REALLY? I mean I know it's to make money off of toys but he seems kinda pointless. Why buy an unreliable engine? Come on Sir Topham Hatt!
*The sense that when Thomas said we can't "mess around, joke around," something like that he was a hypocrite of the past 8 seasons.
*The Engines still seemed really dumb
*Where was TOBY?!?! He barely got TV time.
I made the season sound pretty good, but what do you think?

I hate to be rude to you, but that is starting to get rather old. You seem to just be making yourself pompous and maybe a little arrogant, no offense.

P.S, if you are wondering why I have a new name, it's because when I went to log in, the server said my user name did not exist.

I'm just trying to have alittle fun...you know fun, "Fun"-as in the stuff we see in T&F and yeah we all did get alittle off topic.

The red caboose hotel ( a place in strasburg pa where you can sleep in a caboose

I'll admit I did fall in love with the idea of this I've been to Lancaster every summer for the past 8 years and have always loved the place...never stayed there unfortunately but still the layout looks pretty good. No hard feelings? Cuz how can you stay mad at someone who is?
