Also, it wasn't just in the CGI series she used the three strikes formula, she used it since Series 9, it's just now that it was used so much that it's come to everyone's attentionChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-83044119853019963652011-08-19T03:52:19.533+01:002011-08-19T03:52:19.533+01:00It isn't really the writers that is the proble...It isn't really the writers that is the problem, it is more of the writing style. I don't know quite who comes up with the style, but until we know who don't blame Miller, she isn't the only one who writes like this, every writer does. Instead of insulting the style, we insulted one specific writer driving her away, which might have been the wrong thing to do.246642jhkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925819270094638186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-27903036677095901282011-08-18T05:49:33.328+01:002011-08-18T05:49:33.328+01:00I think toby070 came up with that one.

I doubt he'd be saying that though if he lived through the years of the REAL Hitler.<br /><br />A lot of fans criticise the writing, the repitition, rhyming etc., but if it's enjoyed by the target audience, all of our objections are completely irrelevant.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-16927241999542356442011-08-18T04:54:04.468+01:002011-08-18T04:54:04.468+01:00'HiTler'?...
Haha, that's a new one.
I...'HiTler'?...<br />Haha, that's a new one.<br />I remember about a year or so ago when people were still blaming HiT. Then they all discovered the writers were to blame, and everyone just went all out on them, especially Miller. And while I agree the writing is pretty bad, they really don't deserve the constant bashing that they get.TheFattHatt1943https://www.blogger.com/profile/02516632941755343901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-73526573865443936372011-08-17T07:59:15.587+01:002011-08-17T07:59:15.587+01:00People should realize this. Calling them names isn...People should realize this. Calling them names isn't going to accomplish anything. Hate them all you want, but don't contradict yourself by buying the merchandise as you've pointed out. <br /><br />I myself don't like the plots HiT has formulated Series Nine onwards. So what did I do? I stopped watching it, instead of complaining about it. It doesn't make any sense to watch it only to complain. <br /><br />I can see why HiT has gone with this route though. It is still a very intriguing show for the target audience. It may not be the Railway Series as we would like it to be, but it certainly grasps the minds of the target audience. I may not like them, but my younger brother does. Which is what earns them even more money, as they don't have to work so hard to bust out 20 episodes. <br /><br />I have watched a couple episodes from the CGI Series. I actually like the transition to CGI. I like the models way more, but the CGI isn't bad in any way. I think it's opened up a bunch of new possibilities for the series. If HiT would up the plot quality a bit, I might actually enjoy the show again. Probably the best leverage CGI has over models, is the fact the Narrow Gauge Engines won't be limited to just Thomas and James anymore. <br /><br />All in all I think the way HiT is moving with the series is great for the Target audience. However, it still could use some improvement, and hopefully, it'll get back to being the way it was before. Maybe not exactly, but at least to a close level. I couldn't agree more with this.Edward (NWRNO6)noreply@blogger.com
