The coffee had been steadily growing more and more execrable for the space of three weeks, till at last it had ceased to be coffee altogether and had assumed the nature of mere discolored water — so this person said. He said it was so weak that it was transparent an inch in depth around the edge of the cup. As he approached the table one morning he saw the transparent edge — by means of his extraordinary vision long before he got to his seat. He went back and complained in a high-handed way to Capt. Duncan. He said the coffee was disgraceful. The Captain showed his. It seemed tolerably good. The incipient mutineer was more outraged than ever, then, at what he denounced as the partiality shown the captain’s table over the other tables in the ship. He flourished back and got his cup and set it down triumphantly, and said:
“Just try that mixture once, Captain Duncan.”
He smelt it — tasted it — smiled benignantly — then said:
“It is inferior — for coffee — but it is pretty fair tea.”

Кратък пример за мощта на новите актьори и новите сценаристи на MST3K с riff върху началото на Stranger Things.

Естествено в новия сезон се гаврят само със стари филми, това е само намигане към зрителите на Netflix.

Re: MST3K - Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Най-накрая приключих 11-ти сезон.
Доста е добър, пълноценно продължение на традицията. Новите хора се вписват перфектно в духа на сериала, а r добавят нещо от себе си. В употреба влизат някои стари лафове, като "And watch out for snakes!", но само като напомняне и фенсървис, повечето смешки са нови.
Броят шеги на минута е доста по-голям в сравнение със старите сезони, което показва че авторите са се съобразили с новите вкусове и очаквания на публиката.
В декорите и визуалната опаковка на шоуто хем има нещо от евтинията и импровизацията на оригинала, хем изглежда подозрително добре в HD. Явно с годините артистите са се научили да влагат по-добре жълтите стотинки във визия.
Може да се каже, че съм фен и на решението сега роботите да се ръководят от истински кукловоди, вместо да се налага комиците да са ренесансови личности, като Трейс Болию.
Съгласен съм, че това беше част от чара на MST3K, но наистина е трудно да се произведат толкова много сезони, разчитайки на таланта на едни и същи хора.
Всички актьори играят страхотно - Йона, роботите, Фелиша, Патън и дори оркестъра от скелети. Последният е малко излишен и може би най-странното нововъведение, но и не пречи, а само добавя към идиотската атмосфера.
Гостите - Уил Уитън, Елиот Калан, Нийл Патрик Харис (дует с Фелиша!), Джери Зайнфeлд, Марк Хамил (уж в не-Джокер роля, но накрая вкара неговия смях) и Джоел МакХайл се вписаха перфектно.
Старите муцуни - Мери Джо Пийл, Бил Корбет, Кевин Мърфи, Пол Чаплин и естествено Джоуел Ходжсън също бяха на място.
Какво не харесах - Carnival Magic и The Christmas That Almost Wasn't (оказва се, че не харесвам нито един MST3K коледен филм). Те дори и с шегичките са трудни за гледане.
Най-добрите riff-ове - Reptilicus, Avalanche (сигурно най-unintentional смешния катастрофичен филм на всички времена...дори няма нужда от riffing), Yongary: Monster from the Deep, Wizards of the Lost Kingdom и At the Earth's Core.
В заключение, един от най-успешните kickstarter проекти абсолютно си струва парите, а и понякога носталгията е нещо хубаво.

Последният беше с ужасно разминаване между видео и аудио, каквото хората се оплакаха, че го има по останалите стрийминг услуги.
Твърде много коментари в чата, че да ги следиш, можеше да се прочете да кажем само всеки четвърти. Простотията и рекламните ботове също бяха в повече, та твърде малък брой коментари бяха интересни.
Няколко кратки сегмента с Фелиша Дей, Йона Рей и Джоел Ходжсън. Споменаха трудностите при правенето на 11-ти сезон. Гостува им диригента на бенда, който изпълнява музиката там.
Появи се и Кевин Мърфи, като реклама за Rifftrax и BD-то с reunion представлението между тях и останалата част на MST3K от 2016-та.

Докато съм дремал някъде, Mystery Science Theater 3000 са провели още една кикстартер кампания с 2 милиона долара събрани още първите два дни и общо 6.5 милиона, което щяло да им стигне за 13 нови епизода + 2 празнични спешъла.
Този път няма да са по Нетфликс, а по тяхна собствена платформа Gizmoplex.
В състава са пак Ray, Vaughn, Yount, Hanson, Day и Oswalt. Emily Marsh ще е новият водещ. Hodgson, Pehl и Weinstein ще се появят в старите си роли от сериала.
В допълнение Gizmoplex щяла да дава достъп и до някои от продуктите на RiffTrax (сиреч останалата част от стария екип на Mystery Science Theater 3000).

Re: MST3K - Mystery Science Theatre 3000
Пропуснах да коментирам, че почна новият сезон. Епизодите ще излизат малко по малко, максимум по 2 на месец.
До тук имаме: Santo in the Treasure of Dracula, Robot Wars и Beyond Atlantis.
С последното имаме и нов каст: нов тестов субект (изпълнен от Емили Марш) и нови гласове за симулационните версии на Кроу и Том Сърво (не проверих за ДжПиСи).
Като цяло продукцията е малко по-мизерна от нетфликс ерата, което и се очакваше, но рифовете пак са си яки. Трябваше ми известно време да свикна с новия "субект" и Кроу (предполагам и на тях им е трябвало известно време), но двете са страхотни актриси и се сработват добре с шегичките. Малко се чувствах, като в онези епизоди където лудите учени се разменят за малко тестовия субект или като в епизод на Cinematic Titanic. От следващия епизод вече те ще са ми статус кво-то.

Напоследък наваксах три епизода от новия сезон. Всъщност не продължават рифовете само с новия екип, а правят ротация с предишния.
Дори J. Elvis Weinstein и Joel Hodgson гостуваха за риф. Надявам се да направят нещо подобно с Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy и Bill Corbett.
