Re: The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Topic
I love Mystery Science Theater! I'm so glad they're finally bringing it back! That show was honestly one of my favorites of all time. My favorite bot would be Tom Servo, and I like Joel better than Mike. Joel has a greater relationship with the bots, and many of his jokes made me laugh for most of the entire episode. I also like Dr Forrester and TV's Frank as for the Mads. If anybody doesn't know (which they probably do) the series is on Netflix, and another Roku channel called ' Pluto '. As of the time I'm writing this, Netflix only has Season 1 but is coming with more soon.
My favorite season would probably be the first two, and to be honest some of the episodes with Mike. Unrelated, I also happen to have every episode with the exception of Godzilla vs Megalon on VHS and DVD.
I'll 100% be posting more stuff on this thread. See everyone in the not too distant future!

Eh, not really, it's just a random assortment of episodes spanning across the whole series that's just labeled as S1. Probably has something to do with the liscensing stuff and Netflix not wanting to make 10 mangled playlists.BlueGojira wrote:As of the time I'm writing this, Netflix only has Season 1 but is coming with more soon.

Anyhow, that list of movies has some excellent films for riffing, and some that I just like. This will be good.

Alright, than. But there are many more websites such as Google Videos that have MST3K episodes in order, that was kind of just an example.NSZ wrote:Eh, not really, it's just a random assortment of episodes spanning across the whole series that's just labeled as S1.

Joel said they purposely included 7 out of the top 10 episodes voted by fans (they didn't have streaming rights for the other 3).Tyrant_Lizard_King wrote:Luckily that so-called season one has some of the all time best episodes.

Re: The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Topic
Those of us who backed the Kickstarter (certain pledge and up, mine was $200) got to see the episode today. I signed no such waiver of keeping things under wraps, so prepare to be spoiled!
I wrote this for another board, thought I'd toss it for the MSTies over here too.
Just finished it myself. My thoughts? It's...IT'S...
Complicated.
Here's the thing, I think people are going to see what they want to see in this episode. Those who are convinced that bringing the show back is a great idea will enjoy, but it's also going to annoy those who don't think the series should have been brought back.
This particular episode reminded me a lot about the first Family Guy episode after it was brought back where there seemed to have been some need to cram everything that made the series a cult hit into a single episode in order to keep those viewers that had been anticipating it's return with baited breath. It's very rapid fire, and it fires on all cylinders. It doesn't always hit, but it has enthusiasm. The trouble with moving so fast is that often a riff drops THE EXACT MOMENT the screen changes to what it's riffing on and it kind of kills the joke, because it feels mechanical and not like a reaction.
That said, I liked it. It's buggy, and hopefully will be ironed out (but considering how quickly production went, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't), but this was overall a satisfying experience.
More spoilerish thoughts...

Thoughts on the movie and riffing:
Good appetizer, but I feel the series after this probably HAS to be better. That's my first impression at any rate.

Re: The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Topic
I've only watched the first episode so far, but it's preeeeeeeetty good!
My biggest complaints come from the intro. Why go to such lengths to explain how Jonah got there, but not even touch on the 'Bots? And I feel like maybe they gave Jonah too much respect. The previous hosts have been average Joes or losers, not people who have been randomly swooned over. Just to get all the negativity out of the way now, not sold on Gypsy's new voice. I understand them wanting to get a woman, but now she just sounds like Magic Voice. But I dig that she's suspended from the roof now!
Moving away from negativity... the new Mads displayed a pretty good chemistry already and I think the little bumpers with their henchmen are cute. I think the complaints about the speed of the riffs are valid, but not as bad as I was expecting. Some of them were just kind of frantic and others didn't strike me as jokes as much as simple statements, but on the whole they were mostly harmless or funny. Some were really funny! Got some really great lines. It's weird seeing a proper MST3K with timely references. I love it. The new 'Bots did an admirable job. I thought it would take a few episodes for them to stop trying too hard to emulate the old puppeteers and get comfortable, but I feel like they made good progress just within the first episode! I think I might have been most pleased with the host segments though. The song was good even if I prefer the show tune-style of the past ones and the cloning and Gyptilicus bits could have come right out of past seasons. Bravo on capturing that spirit!
So, aside from a few nitpicks, I liked it! I liked it a lot! And I hope it keeps getting better.

Re: The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Topic
I admit, I've only ever been a casual fan, but I'm digging this revival so far.
I haven't been watching it entirely in order, since I watched it with my 2-year-old son and he voted we skip from Cry Wilderness (an amazing episode and a movie I hope to someday see at B-Fest when I'm finally able to go back) to Starcrash. The show really won me over with the 75% of the episode I watched for The Land That Time Forgot so far, though.
I've seen several of the movies this season before, but the only other time I had seen a movie I loved get riffed on the show thus far (haven't seen any of the Godzilla episodes) was when they did Gamera vs. Barugon, and that almost made me angry. (Why the [i[Hell[/I] would you cut out all of Gamera's first fight with Barugon and then mock the movie for not having Gamera in it?!) Meanwhile, I have always loved The Land That Time Forgot and I think they've done an excellent job ribbing it. However, I really fell in love with the Moon 14 Mesozoic Barbecue sketch and the riff, "Why isn't Styracosaurus everyone's favorite dinosaur? It's like someone ordered a Triceratops with a side of spikes."
As someone who has always counted Styracosaurus among my favorite dinosaurs, that naturally delighted me to no end.

Re: The Official Mystery Science Theater 3000 Topic
I do agree with Gawdziller that they threw a few too many riffs in the first episode, it has hard keeping up with them all and if felt a bit cluttered. Still its not a bad start. Hope they can keep it up.
