Hello, all! I've been gone longer than I expected, but I'm still around! I'm dropping by to not only say 'hello' to you all, but also to express my condolences on the passing of Mr. Peter Fonda. You may know him from a lot of different movies, but to me and all the other engines on Sodor, he'll always be remembered for playing Burnett Stone in our only theatrical movie, Thomas and the Magic Railroad. While it likely wasn't Fonda's favorite role, since it got pretty bad reviews and was what Gordon called a "box office bomb" (I hope they were able to fix all those box offices after our movie bombed them; sorry about that movie theaters!), his performance has been mocked a lot (see the Nostalgia Critic's review of our movie), and the movie as a whole has some mixed feelings among us engines, we were happy with Fonda and his performance in the movie overall. I never got to know Mr. Fonda well, and he didn't spend as much time on Sodor compared to some of the other stars, but from what we saw of him, he seemed like a nice man who had a real passion for movies. We wish the Fonda family all the best, and godspeed Burnett!
