"Superb"

By Avearia, Sep 02, 2006 Report Abuse

First off, I have to say that I'm impressed with the thought that was put into this, (at least, what I've seen.)

#1, the fact that they created a show that could immitate something like a train wreck. It's a middle school--no one drives, or takes the train, and a thing like this would seem to be impossible to accomplish. yet, by taking a 'model train convention' and using it as the setting, it's easily possible.

#2. Character death. Sure, it wasn't an actual 'character', like a human, but it was Fillmore's pet that went belly up. Loss is something that kids deal with, pets, friends, or family members. it's a REAL issue, and they portrayed it very well in this episode. I also like how Fillmore's reaction was. Everyone has a different reaction when someone or something close to them dies; some are over emotional, some (like fillmore,) are stubborn and try to hide their feelings. It made me grin when everyone tried to get Fillmore a fish, too. "Guess what I got ya?" "Is it a fish?" "Actually, TWO fish. and a brownie!"

#3, how Fillmore's problem tied in with the train convention problem. facing the perpertraitor (who will not be named... no spoilers!) caused him to realize things have to change and people have to deal with it. Sometimes it takes more than time to get over something... a person must be pushed in the right direction. I loved how everyone was there for Fillmore, but in the end, Fillmore's the one who had to admit his problem and change his own attitude.

I really liked this episode, (as you can see from the rating,) and it's one of the best ones so far.moreless
