And my expectations were met greatly, though not to a point where I'm giving it the perfect rating I thought I was. Looking at Samson's part, I WAS pleased to see him back and this would have been a great episode for him, but Thomas worked fine as well. I hope his constant appearances are put to an end soon, though. His appearances all fit in this week, but they shouldn't take it too far. Perhaps one more lead role this season will do him good. Bradford's one of my favorite HIT characters yet, and it's hard to think of where to place amongst my favorite rolling stock though. To me, he's like Fergus in a more fleshed out way, and I knew right before watching this episode that he would be an excellent role model. Though not quite as mind-blowing as I thought it would be, it's still a strong episode. 9/10Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305601341650232879noreply@blogger.com
