In today’s “TV Roundtable” at the AV Club, the topic was not just MST3K, not just a particular episode of MST3K (821- TIME CHASERS), but a specific aspect of that episode, vis: Does the appearance of Mike’s surly brother Eddie make him “an effective interloper?” I gather this is just one installment of a whole session of discussions about the “interloper.”
My $0.02: One of the delights of MST3K is that anything — including the kind of narrative complexity and character development these folks are talking about — that got in the way of the JOKES was cheerfully thrown overboard. I fear the roundtable members are searching the MST3K ship for something that was tossed in the drink long ago. But, hey, the comments section is jumpin’ and that’s the real point, right? :-) Just kiddin’, guys. The Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, Pa., is once again showing an MST3K episode this weekend, and it’s a doozy: 907- HOBGOBLINS.
Kevin and Bill will be very busy at CONvergence, an annual four-day convention for fans of science fiction and fantasy in all media, July 4-7 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Bloomington, Minn. One highlight is sure to be “Prometheus Debunked,” For all of Kevin’s activities at the con, click here. For all of Bill’s activities at the con, click here. For more information, visit convergence-con.org. Keep those thread topics coming, but here’s one from me:
In the episode guide discussions, I often see people talking about how this episode or that episode is or is not in your regular viewing rotation, and wasn’t in that rotation before but eventually got to be in the regular rotation, or whatever. So: You’re in the mood for an episode. (We all know that feeling, don’t we?) How do you pick which episode to watch? |
