There is actually an explanation for the yellow tint in season 11. During an event in Birmingham (the same place the season 10 bloopers came from) Simon Spencer talked about the show using the aforementioned yellow tint to give off the effect as if Thomas was still being recorded using film stock. Whether or not it did so successfully is up for debate but it is a neat little fact.

I want to give a special shoutout to Thomas and the Storyteller from this season for how it sort of subverts both the 3 strikes formula and the "special special" tropes. None of the "strikes" Thomas makes in this episode are really actual mistakes. They all involve him interrupting his special plans in order to help his friends get their jobs done. James' and Emily's incidents that Thomas helps with involve legitimate safety concerns (a broken side rod and a broken whistle), and each time, Thomas immediately decides to help all of them instead of rushing off to get his own "special" work done and leaving them stranded, which we've seen in other HiT episodes. In doing all of this, Thomas runs out of time to actually show the storyteller the "special" places on Sodor, and he is thus worried that the storyteller won't have a grand story to tell at the library's opening. But she reassures him that the day they did have helping others will make a wonderful story of its own. And the episode itself proves her right. The episode isn't very flashy, but it purposefully isn't trying to be. Any opportunities for special locations or fancy gimmicks that we typically expect from this era are all constantly subverted by Thomas choosing to help his friends out first and foremost. It instead shows a rather mature, considerate Thomas selflessly helping others and still being rewarded for it. A very underrated episode IMO. I also like how in "Dream On", Thomas comes to the realization of being content with who he is on his own without getting into some big accident. And in the end, he is still able to help the Duke of Botsford by simply being there to help when he is needed.

I also like 'Thomas In Trouble" as Thomas does screw up, but it's out of wanting to take responsibility for a job, and the state Thomas is in shows all the empathy his friends have for him. Liked the detail of Henry taking Thomas to the works, given Thomas' increased awareness with Henry's sickness over the previous seasons. Having James take Annie and Clarabel fits nicely with later CGI lore as well.

Season 11 feels like the season where they're the most comfortable writing "HiT era". All the newbies have personalities that feel like they matter, S11 makes better use of S10's newbies than 10 did of 9's, most episodes want to remind you that there's a whole world outside of the Steam Team, a good chunk of Thomas-centered episodes feels like "Thomas" episodes, the three strikes is put to better use than in S10 (and not as often)and it feels like they've gotten the hang of world-building and bringing things back. Not to mention, The Great Discovery is, well, great! And honestly S11 and TGD are fun. They're just fun! 21:29 I feel like that's because they deleted a scene of Gordon passing by just as James did. There is an unused "disgusted" Gordon face that supports this. 38:26 I think that's the point and it makes him more admirable. The joke is completed by having Emily and Spencer in the episodes. Each basis for all three are at the National Railway Museum. And I think it does inform his character. The CGI series makes him an older character, with a similar voice to Edward. We see in O the Indignity and Whiff's Wish that he actually does jump at the chance to be admired deep down, even though he is perfectly happy working with garbage. This contrasts with Scruff, who never cares about being admired, never did prestigious work in the past, and would avoid the spotlight entirely. After all, one runs away from being washed, while another accepts it. The contrast between Whiff and Scruff is a lot like the contrast between Skarloey and Rheneas when you think about it. To repost what I once said on Twitter, while Skarloey/Whiff are the more developed characters, I think I like the general personalities of Rheneas/Scruff more. Whiff and Skarloey are both really old and wise, gentle and easy-going but stern when need be, and quite knowledgeable about history. They're both a lot more mature than the louder engines but ultimately can still have fun. Neither are fussed about appearances, despite having once been the grandest thing ever back in the day, they literally don't care. They're just good workers above all else, no matter how dirty or smelly the job, and neither care about the opinions of others. Scruff and Rheneas are both tough, scrappy workers who value function most of all and not even the least bit about form. While Whiff/Skarloey will accept a polish or wash if they have the time, Scruff/Rheneas will flatly reject it. They don't care about being recognized for their work, and neither is good with being the center of attention and are rather awkward and uncomfortable when being put on the spot, often just fading into the background willingly. They have zero other aspirations other than to do their work and get it done, never giving up, and offering assistance to those who are struggling with it (see The Switch and O the Indignity)

I personally have never minded the yellow tint S11 has. It gives the season its own unique look against the rest of the HIT era. The yellow tint gives it sort of a warm, cozy look that’s less corporate and plain than S8-10 and especially S12. I get why people don’t like it, but I can look at the season just fine. The shot direction this season was also much more interesting to me compared to the rest of the hit era, especially in Thomas and the spaceship. Some really interesting angles in that one S11 pales in comparison to the classic seasons, but I can’t help but enjoy this season more than the rest of the hit era.

As someone who does have autism and researched those reshoots this back in April, I'm doing well. I love the part of realizing behind the scenes information, and afterward wondering why the hell such weird things happened lol. The more comedically subtle changes I noticed aren't highlighted due to just how many happened. Like, how mostly every shot of Wellsworth in Series 11 was replaced by a reshoot, and the only notable sign of this being the tree looking different. Or one shot from Thomas and the Stinky Cheese, where the gravel around the tracks changes compared to the rest of the scene, as well as the changed trees. The clouds, trees and background dressing are the usual giveaways for reshoots If you look for 'em. So, yes, it is fun noticing and documenting such stupidly little details that no one else cares about. Been thinking if I wanna do videos talking about those little details and other lesser known Thomas stuff (ex. Series 3's connection to Shining Time Stations' 2nd season, other Thomas reshoots, the gold mine of small details that is TUGS)

@@NitroIndigo Not very good overall, at least in the UK as Autism wasn't an official diagnosis until 1994. so a lot of autistic people didn't get help in school, autistic adults, who had no idea of their autism diagnosis were often written off, struggled or were put into homes, places where they were often, ill-treated, forgotten, etc. Being autistic myself, Thomas was the first work of fiction to appeal to me, not so much because it was about trains (I'm not into trains at all outside of Thomas). But because of the way the models brought the characters, story to life with the visuals being static, smooth that was very calming and allowed me to relax, the facials helped me to learn about different emotions, states. The narrator voiceover made it easy to follow what was happening, and to laugh at many of the comedy bits. Along with also because compared to other kid series at the time, it felt more in-depth, and had a lot going on that I picked up even as a young kid. Plus the music by Mike and Junior brought a real sense of wonder, passion that has stuck with me since in how music can and does play a vital role in helping a work stand out, whether it be in serious moments, setting the mood, carrying the emotions or lightening up the scene with comedy etc. Least that's my own experience and views.

9:05 *"Sodor looks more post-apocalyptic."* That is such a hard hitting line to hear after just coming off reading the absolutely emotional fan-fiction "The Island's Swansong" written by The Knight Train on Wattpad. One of the best things about The Great Discovery for me was in the marketing. I still remember the joy on my face in 2008 when i first got the DVD on Christmas, not just because i was excited about owning the new movie, but the case itself was in a special "Gold" plastic with metallic finish. I still have it mint condition. It just made this movie feel all the more magical, and i think what makes it so special is that i believe it's the only DVD release anywhere to ever come with such a unique case. Really it was a great move... what better way to symbolise the end of the model series then by having the all final production literally gift wrapped to us in gold, because HIT knew that's what they'd struck. Season 11 while meh for the most part is defiantly a noticeable upgrade from Season 10, not only do i like how it retains Thomas & Gordon's alliance, most the episodes i honestly can't bring myself to hate for just how silly they are in concept, i really love that Micheal Angelis gave Billy a scouse accent; much like himself being Liverpudlian it's rather fitting. Plus this season has unquestionably Thomas' best smiling face mask since Season 4, something about just screams Awdry perfect. If i had to nitpick anything minor though it'd be in *Emily's Rubbish* how Emily can't move 6 trucks on her own?, granted she was trying to reverse on top a set of points which would've added to the slipping, combine that with the fact the Stirling Singles actually had traction issues in real life, it gives a pretty logical reason for her struggling, a nice hidden detail you might say.

Kinda wish we saw the two together in the books again post-Gordon The Big Engine so we can see the continuation of their allience.

Here’s my head canon for Whiff Whiff was the inspection saloon engine back in his younger days as he is literally too light to do branch line work (despite he has the tractive effort of a GWR Manor). But after the Second World War, the need of his inspection saloon became redundant and he is left with very little to do as the inspection saloon coach he used to haul was scrapped. He became used to shunting trucks filled with rubbish and refuse which is why the LNER and BR locomotives really didn’t want to be anywhere near him. Basically Whiff is the Pepe LePew of the Thomas universe

The Great Discovery is my favorite Model Series Thomas movie. Pierce Brosnan being the movies narrator was a surprise, and I liked his performance. TGD being his only narration role in the series makes it very memorable. The story is the best one out of HIT's model series era. TGD feels like a movie for the Classic Series. Ironic how this is more like a Classic Series movie than Thomas and The Magic Railroad. Thomas rediscovers an abandoned town and helps out with a restoration feels like something pulled straight out of Season 5. The Collapsing Bridge and Morgan's Mine scenes also have that Season 5 feeling. Thomas getting a massive ego, getting jealous of Stanley replacing him, playing a trick on Stanley, and then gets shunned by the others are all in character for him. I'm glad he realizes how much he screwed up, makes up with Stanley and the others, and even giving up his special job to Stanley. As it stands The Great Discovery gets a 9/10 from me. If the team added in Classic Series favorites like Duck, Oliver, BoCo, and Duke in the background, and if the movie had a Mike and Junior inspired soundtrack, then this would be a wonderful finale to The Model Series Era of Thomas and Friends.
