Tom is clearly the weakest. He seems to get the worst lines and the voice is pretty bad, over rehearsed. This is my hot take after 4 episodes.

I think Tom has a lot of range and is affably pompous as ever. :shobon:

"Rehearsed-sounding" is probably my biggest complaint over-all, though. I bet the first season was like that too, though.

I do enjoy how Kinga has a different motivation for the experiments than Dr. Forrester or Pearl. Dr. Forrester seemed to be doing it for mad science reasons, Pearl was just sadistic but Kinga seems to think there is a way to monetize it.

Cry Wilderness is clearly someone's pet project (I suspect Philip Yordan but I can't be sure.) Clearly it made total and complete sense in their head and was going to be the next E.T.

I don't think it's even that he's bad. It's just he's kind of overwhelmed by everyone else.

Also, I strongly suspect that the overdoing of the riffing at points comes from having a murderer's row of writers and the learning curve of cutting jokes from the show. They have too much great material so they say it all very fast and pile them on top of each other, which of course makes it not so great. Season 12 (there better be a season twelve) will probably be a good step up as they have a feel for how to pace the riffing.

As I said earlier the problem with Tom is that Crow actually sounds like a CC era Trace a bit, Tom doesn't sound like either Josh or Kevin. It makes Tom stand out a lot more then if Crow didn't sound like Trace or Bill.

Only watched two episodes, but for everyone who's watched the whole season, what's the second best episode? Because nothing can beat Cry Wilderness.

I'm only halfway through the second episode, but if there is one thing that they have absolutely nailed it was the movie choice. They've both been bizarre spectacles that make you say "What were they thinking?"

It's a nice little within-the-show way to frame the whole thing like Jonah and the bots are talking to us directly, and it's totally in line with the Forrester brand of extremely wacky, terrible ideas.

Avalanche and Yonggary are pretty drat good. Avalanche has some hilariously over the top deaths only loosly tied to the Avalanche itself.

I usually have liked Felicia Day a lot in whatever she's been in (I really liked the first 4 or so seasons of The Guild eg) and she's fine so far but if I had to pin why she feels "off" I think it's because she's doing too much acting. I guess what I'm saying is she should really just relax!

Anyone else jumping around based on what titles interest them vs in order?

Also I wish the host segments on the SOL weren't all static camera shots. Zooms now and then on some of the things would be useful.

Okay, I think Cry Wilderness, Beast of the Hollow Mountain, and Starcrash are so far the legit good eps. I've gotten a lot of giggles out of Starcrash in particular, it's so goofy.

Despite owning the season since Tuesday, I still haven't gotten more than halfway through episode 3. I haven't had time until today, and then a friend of mine wanted to simulwatch from episode 1.

Darn, I have to watch Reptilicus and Cry Wilderness again.

Having the tone of a public access kids show is part of the house style. Everyone is a little "off" which is something I was certain would be lost now that they are casting real actors. I was presently surprised that everyone's delivery is oddly stilted. Most surprised because I didn't even know that was something I wanted until it came back.

Oh, wow, it didn't register until the film started playing, but The Time Travelers is a movie I've actually voluntarily watched on its own at some point, probably the SciFi channel at 3am or something a decade or two ago.

Also, this is a really random question, but does anyone feel like the opening theme song is shot like a on-stage musical number? I can't put my finger on why, but the way it's shot makes me feel like you could exactly reproduce it on a stage for, say, a live show or something, and it would look the same.

MST3K is really bad at cameos from previous actors, I'm learning. It was nice to see that Bill, Kevin and Pearl came back, though. I've seen a lot of people complain about the Bobo makeup, but it looks like it was just slightly adjusted so that he could actually move in it.

Glad that Rebecca Hanson has a Mads character, though.

I guess, but as of episode 3 she's gotten some strong moments. I don't know if "The only preferences of yours I care about are the ones I sell to Google. For data mining." is a strong line on its own, but Day's delivery of it loving destroyed me.

No, I get the same feeling too. A lot of this season in general has that "stage show" feel, and I actually really like it as such.
