My theory for Season 6 for not having any more action-packed stuff like in Season 5 is because it was filmed in production when the 9/11 tragedy happened in America. The team didn’t want to go too far with the Season 6 by having that stuff again like in Season 5. Hence, why there isn’t any in this season at all when it broadcasted in 2002.

Season 6 is a really underrated one for me, a personal favourite of mine. When the an episode is a banger it's a BANGER; Thomas and the Jet Engine, The Fogman, the Jack and the Pack episodes, Percy's Chocolate Crunch, Gordon takes a Tumble, Dunkin Duncan, World's Strongest Engine and to a lesser extent Harvey to the Rescue. Some of these are in amongst my all-time favourite episodes in the show's history, so it will always have a special place in my heart

While I understand not liking Alec Baldwin's narration, I feel he was still overall a good successor to George Carlin, as Carlin was to Ringo. His voice is naturally very warm & he's said he enjoyed his time narrating the show, as well as working on Magic Railroad. I also like his take on Salty more than Michael Angelis'. The pirate accent makes Salty a more interesting & entertaining character than the Cockney accent, but that's just me. I need to sample more of Angelis' work, as I haven't heard a lot of it, but I like Baldwin's a lot.

There was a very good reason and the only reason why I stopped rewatching season 6 when I was a kid. There was one episode in the Percy's Chocolate Crunch DVD Called Thomas Percy and The squeak, When Thomas was picking up Alicia and the was a mice in Annie just standing there and Alicia scream at the top her lungs and her mouth was animated, It was that at that moment I was so traumatized, And right after that Gordon made a funny line but I did not think that was funny, I was still a child at that time so I barely watched season 6 so I only watch the episodes on season 6 on KZitem or remakes. And that was a reason why I Never really watched season 6 when I was a kid. But now that I'm much older, I don't have to worry about watching my DVDs just to see the episodes. But I definitely do not want to rewatch Thomas Percy and squeak it just gives me bad Deja vu's.

So far, my only worst episode from this season is "Middle Engine", because Sir Topham Hatt punishes Percy for something that was entirely out of his control, and Arry and Bert don't get punished for their actions. I find "Rusty Saves The Day" an okay episode, but it could've been better. I pretty much enjoyed entirely the rest of the episodes from this season. I find "Percy and the Haunted Mine" understandable, because I think Percy has every right to be scared, and by god, the scary scenes with the sinking buildings traumatized a bunch of children, which I'm pretty sure they felt the same way as Percy did in that episode.

I admit of being blinded by nostalgia, but as we grow older, we learn to accept that it isn’t hate, but fair feedback and criticism. And it’s a shame (in my opinion) that this became the downfall of a show I still hold dearly to me that I have to keep a secret of when Thomas these days is portrayed as a baby’s show when it was hard work production of models, one voiced characters, beautifully designed sets and appropriate language for a young child that’s starting to grow up. Regardless, while seasons 1 - 6 shaped my love for a blue tank engine with a face on him, he will always be that really useful engine I adored. We do not mention anything post season 6

One thing I can't understand about Season 6 is why Callan station suddenly becomes the main goods yard for a lot of the stories. In Percy's Chocolate Crunch he picks the train up from Callan to take it to the Chocolate factory which is near Brendam according to the Unlucky Tug map. Surely he should have collected the train from Brendam or Knapford instead of going all the way along Ducks branch line and then come all the way back again. The same applies to Middle Engine where he's seen travelling through Callan to reach the coaling plant which is at Tidmouth Station according to the Unlucky Tug map again. This series is good but has some major continuity errors with locations for certain episodes. I'm also with you about Edward bullying Harvey. Especially since he was bullied by the other Tender engines in Season 1 so I'd of thought the writers would have either kept him quiet or had him try to shut the other engines up in that scene.

Yeah it was very odd for Edward to start acting like that. Having him say nothing at all would've been fine enough but the fact they went out of their way to make him dislike Harvey was so weird. Though thankfully not as bad as how he was handled in Edward Strikes Out.

Jack and the Pack episodes would have spawned a spin-off series but only 13 episodes were made and the remaining episodes were scrapped after Hit Entertainment bought Gullane and they thought it would be almost identical to Bob The Builder, Hit Entertainment’s other construction themed show.

Another episode I would like to call out for great humor is James and the Red Balloon. The character pairing for it is perfect and gives an absurd story of two idiots convincing each other of something ridiculous. Middle engine is a stinker. It is hilarious in the American dub especially because of tacky editing; not just of the footage, but also of the narration. Shots from a later scene used earlier on (hope that made sense), and one specific voice clip added wherever they needed a specific word or phrase. Listen closely, and you will discover that every occurrence of the word "coal" is the same clip.

25:40: I should note that the first 6 episodes were actually filmed primarily in a 4:3 aspect ratio and supposedly, the rest of the season was gonna be filmed that way too. That's probably why the sets look empty, they were likely designed with the 4:3 ratio in mind. However, during production of the first 6 episodes, the UK TV standards supposedly changed from 4:3 to 16:9, and as a result, some of the shots in the first 6 episodes were filmed in 16:9, and the rest of the season would be filmed in that ratio too, aside from stock footage from previous seasons, music videos, and a rare couple of shots in the episodes themselves (see Percy's Chocolate Crunch and World's Strongest Engine as examples).

I feel like some errors and problems are because Gullane wanted to make a new season every year instead of every few years, so they didn't have time to re-check scripts or make everything perfect because they were rushed. Also some people say the reason they kept the matte paint was to make them look like toys on purpose so kids would want Thomas toys. I give 6 and 7 a pass because it was the original crew and they tried with the time and restrictions they had, but 2 things I'm not a fan of are: - the matte paint to make them look like toys - they didn't have a train consultant or something so the logic and physics are a bit off.

Regarding Series 6 as well as Series 7, I've gotta say this: Unlike the previous series'...I never saw a single Episode of them as a little kid. This Was because the German (my native language's) Dub skipped these two series' for some reason. I didn’t watch any episodes until I was in 3rd or 4th grade when I stumbled upon the english dubs on KZitem, but because my English was rather limited back then (compared to today) I didn’t understand much of the Dialog.

You know... I figured the biggest missed opportunity, throught the series, was basically not taking more advantage of the chocolate factory in Percy's Chocolate Crunch. I mean, other than basically having a bit of a jab at just how long it'd take to recover from such a humiliating incident, they could've easily introduced the sort of founder and icon of the factory, Mr Jolly, as well as introduced an engine who'd end up working as the factory's own shunter, who could've easily been a throwback to the Cadbury no.1 shunter. Plus, also maybe some dynamic between the new engine and Percy, and how Percy likely wouldn't have quite gotten over the fact, that he ended up crashing all the way through a factory and wound up covered in chocolate.

Hell, considering they were sort of an American made experiment, I can imagine that being something that Hank could've brought up, had the HiT era treated the series with more respect. As well as made an interesting call-back to the episode, too. I can even imagine a dialogue exchange for a scene like that. Hank laughed. "Trying to be a Turbojet, were ya?" Thomas was puzzled by that remark. "Turbojet?", he asked. "What's a Turbojet?" Hank just smiled. "They were like these railcars with jet engines fitted on top. Used to see a few during my time in the states." Thomas was surprised to hear about that. "Really??" "Yup.", Hank replied. "Sadly, they weren't as popular as people hoped they were. Mainly, it was 'cause of the noise they made."
