Thomas the Imperialist Tank Engine

As the trains of Sodor chug-along the tracks, there is always a bad thing to say about it. People trying to set it right; but with a special called Day of the Diesels coming up in September, and a renewal of a sixteenth and seventeenth season, there's no way of stopping the number 1 pre-school show in North America.

But someone working for a magazine says that Thomas teaches the wrong things, that it is wrong that they have Sir Topham Hatt as the controller, and how they tease. Today, I am going to set that woman straight and her follwers, too.

After studying the sixty episodes of the CGI Thomas, I discovered that she was frankly wrong. An episode she mentioned was "Hiro Helps Out". She said that since Sir Topham Hatt was strangely gone, that Hiro decided to give all the jobs out. When Topham found out, he sent Hiro on a shame tour.

Of course, I watched a chunk of the episodes with various ages of children; 1 1/2, 4, 7, and 9. All enjoyed the episodes. In "Hiro Helps Out", I discovered that this woman and her devilish mind twisted the whole thing.
  1. Sir Topham Hatt is in his office, doing work. He can't be telling the trains what to be doing all the time, he has work to do as well!
  2. Hiro decided to help Sir Topham Hatt by telling the engines what to do. Encouraging kids to be helpful.
  3. When Sir Topham Hatt finds out, of course he is upset that Hiro told the engines to go to the wrong place by accident. He doesn't send Hiro on a shame tour, he easily sends him to get the engines back to Knapford. Why? Because Topham Hatt can't fly there, he has work to do, and Hiro knows where they are.
  4. Hiro apologizes to them. Teaching kids to make up for their mistakes. He also says that Sir Topham Hatt is in charge. Topham is like parents, meaning that they are in charge. Teaching to listen to your parents.
  5. Sir Topham Hatt happily at the end thanks Hiro for helping him get the engines back to Knapford. He says he is a really useful engine.
Being a "really useful engine" encourages kids to want to help around the house and do jobs.

Misty Island Rescue was the movie that everybody wanted to keep watching and watching and watching! Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand were sent off the mainland because they weren't really useful. Again telling kids to be useful.

In the end, this lifeless woman needs to find a job. Her and her sick mind need to stop doing this to kids shows for attention and money. These people need to grow up and get a life.

VERDICT: There's nothing wrong with Thomas. The "Imperialist" article, lots.
