(NOTE: I WILL NOT MENTION ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO ALL ENGINES GO IN THIS REVIEW, AS IT'S SEPERATE FROM T&F)
Splish Splash Splosh is classified as the worst episode of Series 13 by fans, but do I have anything good to say about it?
Well, the plotline is that... Thomas and Rosie are splashing about in muddy puddles. Then, of course, Thomas doesn't listen to TFC to do his task of picking himself and Alicia Botti up, and instead proceeds to continue splashing everyone in sight. The three strikes- scratch that, four strikes proceed as Thomas splashes everyone. Then, TFC scolds him, Rosie helps Thomas, and then Thomas sorts out everything right and the episode ends.
Even for a Miller episode, this episode is still downright ridiculous. Then, of course, there's repetition where Thomas says he would love to splash an engine every time before he goes to the wash. Rhymes go along the lines of "Splish Splash Splosh! I'll soon need a wash!" and are as bad as you'd expect. Thomas is a downright idiot in this episode, as he should know that his friends are pulling loads, and why would he play about in the mud? And how exactly did his fire go out seconds after moving back when TFC scolds him? Who knows.
The only good thing is that Keith Wickham does a great job of showcasing TFC's true anger (at least until Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure), while Kerry Shale makes him sound more disappointed. But regardless, the voice acting is still good aside from the poorly-written dialogue.
This episode is just dreadful, there is almost nothing good to say about it.
