Flash Bang Wallop! is a bit of an improvement (especially on yesterday's farce), but I don't think it's anything to get excited over

Did you See Ho Ho Snowman yet?
in case you haven't, its pretty terrible...

Ho Ho Snowman = S15's Percy's New Friends, although in that one I actually had something cute to look at...

I actually prefer Percy's New Friends to 4/5 of Series 16 so far, that's how bad it's been

I thought it was decent. A lot of good points and some bad. Percy seemed to become a bit smarter and a bit braver. If it were Season 15, I'd expect Percy to run away like a wuss in the sight of the "monster". It was cool Salty had a big role, Thomas didn't appear (thank the lord), and lots of neat rolling stock. But it was so predictable and the ending sucked. Though it was decent. One of the better Percy eps of the animated series.

I must admit I was hopeful it'd be better than Series 15, but those hopes are out of the window. And judging by the next episode's description (Ho Ho Ho Snowman) things won't be getting better any time soon...

If you thought Express Coming Through was bad, it's got nothing on Percy and the Monster of Brendam (even though Thomas only appeared in one shot)

Yeah, I understand what you mean about Thomas. But he's been like that for so long now that it doesn't bug me as much anymore. I try not to let that make me not enjoy the episode, especially when Nitrogen puts so much effort into making the animation and settings look as good as possible.

I agree, it was bad. Which is a shame. Actually, no it isn't, I had a feeling it'd be bad :P.

It's basically just another "Thomas does..." episode with no moralistic value, an event taking place just because and Thomas repeating things over and over until he's finally pulled up about it..

I was right, Series 16 is heading the same way as S15 so far.

I'm going to have to disagree with ya there, I rather enjoyed Express Coming Through. A lot of silly humor from Dowager Fatty Hatt, and Gordon's facial expressions were just great. A lot of the shots of Thomas and Gordon passing each other were presented well, and it had some good quotes. "Thomas, DO SOMETHING!" The plot itself is a bit more original than what we've previously seen (ex Wonky Whistle, need I say more?) And since Thomas HAS pulled the express before in Thomas' Train and others, the fact he was pulling it now didn't seem unbelievable. My favorite of the season so far.

Yeah, it's not THAT bad, but it felt as though it dragged on to get to the 8:45 mark. It could've easily been finished in 4 minutes. But it wasn't completely boring, nor was it completely dangerous, but I never can be fond of Misty Island episodes, or any that include Ferdinand, Charlie or both
