I must have skipped the final credits sequence and missed Jonah space walking on the S.O.L. on my first pass through.

Magic Hate Ball posted:Pearl chasing Mike gave us one of my favorite scenes from almost any tv show: I had forgotten that gem, thanks for this. OK, we just finished watching Carnival Magic and I suspect it's one of the films that Joel mentioned were kind of a bear in that "Nine Things to Know About MST3K" article. For a minute, the end credits gave me Fun In Balloonland flashbacks. Yay yay!

I honestly think that's the biggest difference between this MST3k and previous generations. It almost feels more like a goofy musical at times. I suppose when you have that much vocal talent you're gonna use it.

The "party scene" in Avalanche made me feel like a super annoyed designated driver even though I had 3 beers at that point. Did that loving little 5 year old or so kid have a glass of chardonnay???

TVs Ian posted:"Doctor Darrin, and Doctor Super Mario Brother," "I left Yoshi parked on B-level," "Doctor Luigi will be assisting." (Parts: The Clonus Horror) The old MST3K Info Club newsletter that Best Brains used to mail out during the Comedy Central era,had a column written by Mike complaining that Doom II was too similar to the original Doom to be considered a full-blown sequel. The most gamer-rear end gamer opinion, I love it. Oops I somehow missed half a page talking more about Best Brains and Mike loving Doom and having a gaming PC in the office. Anyway pretty weird. ja2ke fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Apr 20, 2017 |

The opinion that Reptilicus is weak and the season picks up after episode 2 or 3 is likely just an acclimation issue more than anything. It's like spinning a new album for the first time and then warming up to it over repeated listens. I imagine the same would be said for any episode if it were the first.

I think it's the one where Tom gets a face hugger. As far as Lowtax goes I think he's supposed to work on an upcoming Rifftrax.

It's not actually more riff-filled or anything and they didn't film them in order. I'm positive it's just getting used to the new voices and the new look, and that on a rewatch, it probably would less overwhelming for people who didn't like it.

I found a way to watch  Netflix on my account, so now I can finally see the new episodes without having to resort to... uh, circulating the tapes. I'm about 15 minutes into Avalanche, and in my opinion the titular avalanche can't hit these people soon enough.

Avalanche is a lot like The Poseidon Adventure, if The Poseidon Adventure had been mostly about the more annoying characters just sitting on a boat and partying, and the ship had sunk entirely in the last 20 minutes, because the captain got kind of drunk and just swerved into something.

Maybe MST3K needs to move past video game references, pop culture, and even jokes themselves. Only then can the Satellite of Love become what it was meant to be: a theater for community storytelling focused on deep characterization, multi-layered plots with season-spanning thematic narratives, and intricate world-building expanded into a multi-platform franchise universe played over B-movies. just relax Edit <Things (1989) finishes playing, the camera returns from the theater to the bots standing over a burial plot> Gypsy: [to Jonah's grave] Jonah, dear, I can't cry. Why did you do it? I search and search and I search, and I can't understand it, Jonah. We watched the last movie today. Today, dear. And there'll be nobody in the theater.

Maybe I missed a conversation, but I don't think anybody's mention something that I noticed in the opening sequence. During the line "an evil woman trapped him on the dark side of the moon" the number displayed on Jonah's computer monitors is different every episode. It isn't the episode number, because Loves of Hercules (episode 8) it was 005, and Yongary (episode 9) it's 008. I wonder if there's any hidden meaning to those.

She died as she lived: completely lit up. Avalanche is great. I loved the running joke of Rock Hudson's character being obsessed with lunch, and the bots getting increasingly annoyed waiting for the avalanche to happen.

I was also really hoping that he would die by some horrible accident just for some Dr. Horrible symmetry, so the ending sort of felt like it fizzled. It wasn't bad, though, it just was no P.T. Mindslap.

The things that bother me with the intro 1. There's a break in the song near the start. 2. The robots don't have titles during the roll call. I wish there's things didn't bother me, but they do.

I was thinking about the theme song, and I really like Felicia Day's part. Turning the song into a duet with a soft light female voice is great.Tsietisin posted:2. The robots don't have titles during the roll call. Introducing the bots as silhouettes is actually really clever, since that's how we see them 90% of the time

Reptilicus does have some legitimate issues though. The setup overstays its welcome, and personally I felt the movie itself made things drag until the titular monster showed up. Once you had the monster (and the monster rap) though it got much better.

I haven't had much time to follow the new season, but I'm hoping to sneak in another ep tonight. If my faves from the Mike era are the sci-fi and "action" episodes with standout sidekicks/villains (Space Mutiny, Time Chasers, Operation Double 007, Final Sacrifice, etc), which one from the new set will most likely hit similar beats? I'll do them in order eventually, but tonight i just need something that hits the spot.
