  • Happy 1 year anniversary of my Henry video on overcoming disabilities everyone!
    To mark the occasion, I've decided to do another video dedicated to life lessons taught in Thomas and Friends. Not just to demonstrate how far I've come in terms of editing in a year, but just so I can talk about one of my favourite episodes of all time.
    All At Sea!
    I did mean to release this tomorrow, but I feel like giving you guys a breaking having to put up with my Book Of Boba Fett Review hahaha.

    The ending scene of Duck, Thomas, and Percy looking at the sunset is hands down one of the best moments of the entire show. Everything from the beautiful sunset colors and light, the very sweet music, and the touching narration by the voice of my childhood George Carlin, have all made it stick so hard with me since I was a little kid.

    While the world is a fascinating place, it can also be dangerous, and sometimes, underwhelming. The way I interpret the ending line is that nothing can take you on a better travel than your own imagination.

    "It's Home."
    I needed to hear that today. It's good to be reminded that travel and exploring new places are all well and good, but Home is a special place that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Its where you are most comfortable and with the people you cherish your relationships with. Everyone needs a place they call Home. There is nothing else quite like it.

    My love for Duck & Oliver can basically be described in a meme.
    *Me:* “Congratulations, because Oliver is almost definitely one of the best characters in Thomas. His arc in the show in his book and Seasons 3 & 4, his backstory is just fascinating and what he represents as a whole for the scrapping of engines is just-“
    *Other fans:* “Yes yes, but then why is he not one of your absolute favourite characters? Why is one of your favourite’s Duck?”
    *Me:* “Oh Duck? Well the reason why Duck is higher then Oliver for me is just, well, I like him.”
    *Other fans:* “What? But Oliver-“
    *Me:* “No, I like him. Oliver’s brilliant, but I like Duck. Listen, there are more fleshed out & interesting characters then that Great-Western Pannier Tank Engine, but I like that Great-Western Pannier Tank Engine. Yes he isn’t the most complexed character, he hardly appears after Series 4 and his CGI Era character can be a bit annoying but I still think he’s brilliant. His design’s great, his theme is just fantastic and his personality is just so likeable! He does his work without fuss, he has fun now & again but knows when it goes too far, has great friendships with many characters, has a wonder-ness side and is just a nice chap all round!”

    I cried when there was the final scene of the episode with Duck, Percy and Thomas, all three engines together, viewing the sea, the boats and the horizon at the docks of the bay. It implicates how home is the most valued place with their friends and family but it is still nice for them to imagine the life of other places.

    As someone who wants to explore the outside of Utah, I have those dreams of traveling to places like Japan, the UK, Germany, and France to name a few, but growing up in a rather poor family with problems of their own, those dreams may be dashed until I can actually fulfill them, but realize that home is where the heart is, and having autism may cause me to mentally break down in a way that only home could cheer me up.
    The detailed look into All At Sea is wonderful because not only are we able to digest the moral more thoroughly, but it makes me happy that I've never been outside of Utah because it allows me to dream of those places in spite of the flaws that those places have.

    All at Sea really is one of the legendary episodes that comes to mind when I think of S3. The harbor sets and regatta, along with the music and intelligent moral about purpose and home is really stellar, not to mention that ending shot of Duck, Thomas and Percy watching the sunrise/sunset of the horizon is so tearjerking yet happy goosebumps along w/ the fantastic line delivery from George Carlin (Angelis did too, but I think he talked a bit too fast for my liking). Fun fact - this is also Britt Allcroft's favorite episode alongside Down the Mine b/c of said-ending that David Mitton framed as a picture to her and that really shows (take notes BWBA, take notes!).
    It was also the final episode on Percy's Ghostly Trick and 10 Years of Thomas releases, which gives it a satisfying conclusion to an amazing batch of episodes.

    That ending man, Oh my God!!!! Such a strong message this episode gives, I still can't believed that *A KID SHOW* teaches it's target audience the harsh reality of life, yet it also gives us a new apreciation on what we do have, it's lovely to dream of what's beyond but sometimes dreams can become an obsession and you start to losse track on what's important, "Your home", Like think about it; *You finally acomplish your dream of Seeing new things, and you're happy but you realice that you're alone, and you don't have the people that you love and love you back to share that happiness with* DAMN, that's deep.
    But any ways, I genuinely adore this video so soo much, I'm really glad that you gave this episode so much justice and more. Absolutely fantastic!!!!

I talked about this episode when I wrote a review on a CZcamsr named Dhar Mann, where I used AAS as an example of a moral that's portrayed subtly and born from a situation that's real enough to take place in the world that's been established, whereas Dhar Mann's content consists of morals manufactured from scenarios that don't happen in the real world his videos are supposed to take place in, and are constantly being spoon-fed to viewer every other minute.

Also another headcanon that King George V along with King James I (who Duck implied didn’t show off like Sodor James) Olton Hall (the Hogwarts Express engine) Pendennis Castle (who has a big history with Flying Scotsman) Caerphilly Castle (the first 4073 member) and Viscount Churchill (who was formerly The Great Bear) would’ve been some of the few big engines on the GWR who’d get along with Duck and other small tank engines like Oliver that wouldn’t belittle them for their size.
