![]() The majority of her episodes were bad this series. They were Thomas' Tall Friend, Charlie and Eddie, Henry's Health and Safety, Thomas' Crazy Day, Jumping Jobi Wood!, Thomas and Scruff, O the Indignity, Jitters and Japes, Merry Misty Island and Henry's Magic Box. Miller wrote half the episodes for this series (10 out of 20). The only good thing about it was Diesel 10's appearance and dialogue (apart from him saying "steamies".) EVERYTHING was just terrible when it came to the writing. ![]() The characters were awful, the "racism" Thomas showed towards Diesel was frightening, Misty Island - especially that Shake Shake Bridge - the rhyming, the alliteration, Ferdinand constantly saying "That's right!", the pointlessness of Captain and who can ever forget the grammatical error: "I feel badly". This was, by far, the worst Thomas and Friends special since Thomas and the Magic Railroad. However, I do still think it was the best animated episode under the Miller (and Nitrogen) era. If the writer (Allan Plenderleith) hadn't abided by that, it could have been as close to a Classic Series episode as fans had hoped for. The only problem with that was the three strikes formula. I'd say its ONLY saving grace was Tickled Pink. I'm not just saying that Ms Miller wrote bad episodes, as the whole series was rather bad (The Lion of Sodor and Thomas and the Pigs being prime examples as they were carbon copies of each other). Alhtough his parts could've been old), Sir Lowham could've caused trouble in Double Trouble, Charlie and Thomas just proved that fun is more important than work (and peer pressure is fine) in Play Time, railways would NEVER operate under the conditions portrayed in Splish, Splash, Splosh, Buzzy Bees is a terrible re-write (I suppose?) of Buzz Buzz and Hiro just acts like a complete idiot, destroying his personality even more in the process, in Hiro Helps Out. ![]() Creaky Cranky was just stupid (Cranky's lifted heavier things than Thomas before and he's managed fine. It was actually quite sweet of Thomas to find Hiro a present (even if his gift ideas were a bit stupid) and Hiro's response to Thomas' failure was heart warming too. The other one is The Biggest Present of All. Only two of her episodes were good this series: Steamy Sodor was entertaining, although Kevin doing all that stuff in a dangerous environment is a very bad message to send to an impressionable audience. Thomas is overloaded right now.For her first contribution to the new, fully animated series, Sharon wrote eight episodes: Creaky Cranky, Double Trouble, Play Time, Steamy Sodor, Splish, Splash, Splosh, The Biggest Present of All, Buzzy Bees and Hiro Helps Out.
