Missing handfuls of Seasons 1 and 2 (and KTMA). Not a huge fan of any episode prior to Season 3 (they're fine, just not there yet).

Dear God, man. Please tell me you are not talking smack about Godzilla vs. Megalon. It's one of the all time classics!

But yeah, overall, I can understand not being big on S1 or S2. I love lots of S2 episodes, but everything was hitting on all cylinders after Season 3 (surprise, surprise, it came right after they signed a three season deal for 24 eps per season!)

No no. I like that episode, just not...like like.

Do I need to give up my post as curator of the thread?

Has anyone ever watched Hamlet all the way through? I don't know if I've made it past 10 or 15 minutes, and I've tried a couple times.

Someone else just discovered the PLUTO TV thing. Kind of neat, although I feel like the volume is SUPER low on this. Could just be Hamlet though.

New update on Turkey Day 2015. Nov. 26, 6 episodes. Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mst3k/bringbackmst3k/posts/1420187


How many episodes did they show last year? Felt like it went on for longer than 6.

Yep. I'm a HUGE fan and I haven't even seen all of them yet.

Dang, I'm going to be at my GF's family's place. I would have loved to partake in this.

With the Turkey Day marathon's being streamed, I wish they'd do a repeat on Friday for those of us with non MST3K fan family.

Haha no, I was just randomly thinking of Hamlet for some reason. I don't think I'd even heard of Pluto TV til just now.

Curious at how much of a bump we'll see from her official announcement. I know Felicia has a ton of fans, but unsure of how much overlap there is with MST3K fans.



It'll actually be Torgo.

I think there will be a pretty decent bump from her and Turkey Day combined.

As far as general Kickstarter trends are concerned this is the usual time for a bit of a lull so it's good timing.

Whil Wheaton is the next henchman isn't he?

Just seems like it would happen, and he just posted about Felicia Day being the new Mad.... maybe a hint?

I'd take Hamill over Wheaton any day of the week, but I'm not expecting either at this point. Day is already kind of a big grab for the show as is.

I'm now trying to figure out whether the kickstarter is actually also the prologue to the show storyline. Just to confuse matters further.

So is the 'secret unlockable' some KTMA episodes? Or I wonder if there's a pilot knocking around even prior to those?

If he is I'm going to puke. I can put up with the other new people (who I don't particularly like. "nerd royalty"? Ugh), but that would be the final nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned.

edit: With that said, I like the bot selections. They seem to be actual, real life comedians, not "nerd royalty".

Joel says in the update that they've been pretty much using the Kickstarter videos as workshops for the actors. Servo's voice has gotten better in each one.

Yup, voices seem to be improving all around. Tom and Crow seem way better, and Felicia Day seems to have a good handle on how she wants to handle the role already. Can't wait to hear their continued improvements over the next few weeks.

Hampton's Crow sounds great to me (and I say that as someone who got into the show with Bill's Crow and took a while to warm up to Trace's). I know Joel wants the actors to define their own voices for the bots and not do impressions, but come on, you can't ask people to just forget 10 years of familiar voice acting (which we've been listening to for another 15 years after that).

Baron's Servo doesn't sound any different to me in the new videos tbh, but hopefully he continues working on it.

Already digging Felicia as a Mad, and Jonah seems cool too.

One step closer to pulling the trigger. Now it's all on Turkey day to really show me what theyve got.
I'm fine with Jonah and Felicia, and have been for Hampton Yount's Crow voice since day one. it's just enough like Trace/Bill to help ease things in. And Baron's Tom has changed enough over the videos to grow on me.
New henchmen's outline looks like Frank with shorter hair or Patton Oswalt

I agree. I get what Joel is saying, but Baron still needs work. Hopefully they take criticism as constructive and not hating.

The rest of the cast is fine. Hampton sounds great, and Felicia and Jonah fit in well.

I'm super close to being back on board and backing this again.

Sir!
Joel says in the backer update that Jonah, Baron, and Hampton have real chemistry together. That would have been my greatest fear; the riffing crew just a batch of "voices" reciting prewritten jokes. I'm really getting excited. I don't know if it's going to make it all the way to 5.5, but I'm hoping!

From an interview on starwars.com:

Joel said:
The cool thing about that is, in the theater, Tom’s really going to be able to fly. Crow’s going to be able to walk around and climb up the side of the theater. They’re going to be much more animated. Crow’s got a jet pack, too, so sometimes he can go fly around with Tom. So, absolutely. More than anything, the world is more visual than it was 15 years ago, and Mystery Science Theater is a very visual show, so I just want to make sure that’s intact more than anything.

Crow has a jet pack confirmed!

It's really cool to see Felicia Day playing something other than an awkward, flighty nerdy girl. So far she has been my favorite addition, when I originally thought of her I kinda groaned.

Completely agree. I really thought she did a great job and I was not looking forward to her when it was leaked.

I'm about to become like Cheesemeister. I'm probably dropping $100 on a Kickstarter and I never thought I would. But if there was something that would make me, it's fucking MST3K.

What's "Kinga" about, though? That will take some getting used to.

It's an established name. There was a contestant with that name on Big Brother in the UK some years ago. Probably best-remembered for putting a wine bottle up her... er... self.

So are Playstation 4 owners just shit-out-of-luck when it comes to watching the marathon?

Is it possible that somebody will just do a simulcast on UStream or something?
