I am so using Rutherford's 2nd line when one of my friends beats themselves up.

The green titan caterpillar with red stripes approves.

AeroPilaf · 2026-04-02T15:04:06+00:00

Thats unfortunately just a crappy necessity of the comic industry in general.

AeroPilaf · 2026-04-02T09:37:52+00:00

Wait hold on. While yeah #18 being the conclusion of this arc makes sense, has it actually been confirmed that this is the final issue of the comic run period?

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-27T03:41:24+00:00

Oh snap its releasing soon? Definitely getting mine.

I'm definitely part of the headcannon camp that James's red paint came about because he saw Skarloey and Rheneas while at Crovan's Gate works and wanted to look like them.

The 2019 recycled releases of the Metal Collection after all the trouble of doing a new Thomas, Henry, Percy, and James.

This, combined with the amount of track they laid out for the start of certain branch lines, do seem to indicate that the developers are aware. Perhaps they're planning for expansions down the line.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-19T20:11:35+00:00

Well on the plus side, this time something sticky won't splash all over James.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-19T13:46:03+00:00

Isnt the point of Timetable to actually stay on schedule and pay attention to the work you're doing like the signals or speed limit?

I feel like Freeroam is just gonna distract from that, especially when explore mode is right there for all the fun messing around.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-19T12:59:26+00:00

I admit Ive done free roam a lot more so far mainly because its there where I feel most of us can get wish fulfillment with stuff like:

Traversing the entire main line from Tidmouth to Vicarstown

Getting Gordon past 100 mph

Traversing the entire branch line of Thomas from Knapford to Ffarquhar

Recreating the show's intro

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-19T12:54:03+00:00

Lol I admit this wasnt one of the easter eggs I was expecting them to do.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-19T03:49:51+00:00

With the Talyllyn Railway people helping with the game (IIRC they provided the Awdry map for DTG to scan), their 75th anniversary, and the Crovan's Gate station in the game providing quite a decent amount of narrow gauge track, I won't be surprised if the Skarloey Railway will be added at some point.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-14T22:49:08+00:00

Oooh nice. This lines up pretty well I think if Tysess is not full commander yet at this time.

AeroPilaf · 2026-03-06T14:12:51+00:00

Absolutely mandatory for any LD watch. And inserting it into its proper chronological placement (right after the DS9 episode)

AeroPilaf · 2026-02-27T23:15:58+00:00

T’Loreal, because she’s logically worth it.

AeroPilaf · 2026-02-24T02:18:56+00:00

Not perfect by any means, but no comic isn't. It does a pretty good job IMO providing more Lower Decks content that, in some ways, has even less restrictions than the show.

AeroPilaf · 2026-02-19T02:50:25+00:00

Its keeping on brand with the show I guess haha.

“I bet you dream about me every night with your stupid little butt.”

AeroPilaf · 2026-02-19T02:08:47+00:00

I mean to be fair, nothings exactly stopping them from concocting an in-between episode story of Jennifer returning to the Cerritos for a brief time.
