[Mystery Science Theater 3000] Season 13 done, Season 14 coming?
dresdenphileWatch out for snakes!Registered Userregular
This new over-the-air channel, Comet, plays an MST3K double-header every Sunday evening, which is great. What is not great is that they rotate between like 8 episodes, and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank and The Day The Earth Froze are two of them.
The funny part is that they aired a commercial that was basically hate mail and tweets about the fact that they only run 8 different episodes, so they promised to add more. I think they aired like 4 new episodes, before going back to that rotation of 8.

And here I thought I just had bad confirmation bias about this because it felt like every time I check the guide for the episodes I think to myself, "this one again, really?" Happy to hear it is an actual thing and not just me noticing a pattern that isn't there.

Off the top of my head, I see a lot of:
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
The Day the Earth Froze
Hobgoblins
Hercules
The Phantom Planet
Bloodlust!
Merlin's Shop of Wonders
The Indestructible Man
Again, its not always those 8, but I feel like one or two of those is almost always part of the double-header.
And so, Billy, the little boy who looks just like you, went through terrible, irredeemable grief!
No, Grandpa Borgnine, leave light and hope for me! Please!
Get out from behind that cushion, Billy! It gets worse!

So! Necro-ing this but with good reason.
I'm finally prepared to sit down and watch season 11. Join me won't you as I make my way through!
First up! Reptilicus!

Good lord, what a bland-ass movie. Riffs were decent. The only new voice I'm having trouble with is Servo, Kevin Murphy had a really defined voice, and it's difficult to un-hear him. Both and Jonah and nuCrowe have pretty distinct voices (nuCrowe also sounds similar enough to oldCrowe), but Servo really blends in with the others. I thoroughly enjoyed the musically number about different monsters all around the world.
I'm sure Felicia Day and Patton will grow into their own.
Both the new opening and closing themes are terrific.
Servo never stops having a jarringly different voice but it’s okay
MST3K was never who hosts or who does voices or whatever but how good the riffs are, and the new season has good riffs
Neither Kevin Murphy nor Bill Corbett were the original bots but they grew into their own thing, Murphy especially but I really like Bill’s “angry” crow

OK Crty Wilderness is barely 15 minutes in and it's terrific.

Finished Cry Wilderness
...
What the hell was this even supposed to be about?
We had:
1. Horrible Child McNeverlisten
2. Crappy Bigfoot who's entire prophecy of warning the kid about his father banked on the kid not listening and thus putting Dad in danger in the first place
3. Burly Hunter McMeshshirt who for some reason entirely deserved to have his eyes gouged out because he was looking for Bigfoot that he only knew about because the kid told him about.
4. "You're a stupid Indian" Jim. Poor bastard. He should have beat that kid senseless.
5. Magic Ghost Man.

All finished with Time Travelers . Appreciated the 200th episode shout out and Joel cameo, and the riffs were good, but it lacked the lawl factor of Cry Wilderness.
Now onto Avalanche!
e- omg That is some high class shade thrown at Star Wars during the invention exchange, with regards to the "Movie Phrase- Title" device
Avalanche started out kind of dull, but towards the end it had one of my favorite lines of any MST3k episode. Also a very good visual gag in the middle-ish part of the movie.

Avalanche had a few good lines.
I like that eventually the bots got impatient for the avalanche and started smashing cymbals.

Very good. MST3K needed a couple seasons to really hit the gold, and the new crew deserve the same chance.
To be fair, they had a template to build off of thanks to the original run.
That said, I am looking forward to season 12.
I'd settle them doing them in one take so they don't have to do the jarring bubble edit/cuts... At least I assume thats what was happening with those.

Not last in episode number but it was the last new episode that Sci-fi aired.

You forgot the spoiler tags.

I will be thoroughly disappointed if that is not a running joke throughout the entire film, if not the entire season.
It reminds me of this little gem:
