So, this is the debut episode of Series 13, Nitrogen Studios' first episode (not including Hero of the Rails) and all in all, what is it like? Let's find out.
As usual, if you're familar with this era, it's a Thomas-focused plot line from the Miller era with three strikes. Thomas doesn't do his job whatsoever and focuses more on having fun than anything else. Cranky proves to be quite repetitive for what he does, and eventually he's fixed and everything's alright, complete with an "Everyone laughs" ending.
The Fat Controller doesn't serve any purpose other than to let the "You're out" bit slide in the three strikes.
As for James and Henry, why would they simply let Thomas do their work? I dunno, maybe so the strikes can play out as well? Spencer also serves to solve the strikes.
And as usual, there's cringy and obvious rhymes and alliteration such as "Cranky creaked and how he's cracked!"
The beginning part was the only good part of it, and that's not saying much. This isn't worth a recommend.
