I just wanna start off by saying that while this is not a terrible episode, there were some nuisances. I think Thomas' blue paint looks very splendid and I like that Percy complimented him on that. I think the color blue best suits Thomas and blue is my favorite color also. However, I think Thomas was being puffed up when he stated that "blue is the only proper color for an engine" since everyone has their own opinions. As Toby and Percy said, they like their own colors which are brown for Toby and green for Percy but Thomas is still stubborn. I feel sorry for Thomas as he got his paint dirty from the coal hopper. I will also add that Percy was rude to laugh at Thomas for getting his paint filthy because of his accident as it infuraited Thomas and he blames Percy for the mess but the Troublesome Trucks are actually responsible. I mean, I can understand as to why Thomas blamed Percy given that Percy laughed at him. Poor Thomas, as Annie and Clarabel say. The next part is even worse as Thomas and Percy are mad at each other that night and the worst part is Percy insults Thomas by calling him "a disgrace to Sir Topham Hatt's Railway" and that was uncalled for. The next day it's Percy's turn to have his own predicament with coal. He goes to have a drink in a siding but finds that he can't stop and lands wheel deep in coal. Thomas has the last laugh as he chuckles at Percy while leaving the station. While I do feel sorry for Percy, I hope it taught him not to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, I'm glad to see Thomas and Percy having made up in the end. Even though in a way they're both to blame, I love them just the same. At the end of the day, all that matters is admitting your mistakes. Also, I think Thomas, Percy and the Coal is a better title for this episode as the title Double Trouble is used for a Thomas episode in Season 13. I personally think that Thomas, Percy and the Coal should've been the same title for the US version.
