License to Deliver (Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!)

Plot
Thomas and Percy play secret agents while delivering a lighthouse bulb to help Percy get over his fear of the dark.

Why It Fails To Deliver

 * 1) This is yet another rehash episode that rehashes "The Case of the Puzzling Parts" from Season 22 of the original series (Which was already a weak episode) only Thomas and Percy replace Paxton and Sidney's roles.
 * 2) The title very clearly references the James Bond film "License to Kill" including a lot of shoehorned references that the target audience would not understand.
 * 3) This episode is responsible for reverting Percy back to his flanderization as he is now a complete coward and is also a complete yes man who goes along with everything Thomas does no matter how stupid or illogical it is.
 * 4) The entire episode consists of filler of Thomas and Percy pretending to be secret agents and wasting time rather than getting their light bulb delivery over with.
 * 5) The song Secret Agents is extremely pointless and could just be summed up in a conversation.
 * 6) James' role is completely pointless in the episode as all he does is say Hello to Thomas and Percy and then leaves.
 * 7) Cop out ending: The entire time Thomas and Percy mess around playing secret agents they could've used a spotlight Sandy gave to them to get over Percy's fear of the dark meaning the conflict could've been resolved that easily making this whole episode a complete waste of time.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Percy at least gets over his fear in the end.
