For folks in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Scranton Cultural Center will host the triumphant return of Bad Movie Thursdays with MST3K — hosted by yours truly — Thursday at 7 p.m. (Cocktails start at 6.) The month’s offering is episode 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD. (And yes, we know he’s not Sinbad.)
More info here. If you live in the area, or are visiting, join us, won’t we?
Hi, while watching “The Rebel Set” last night I realized that the question “who is Merritt Stone?” was not really answered (Tom’s Poirotesque effort notwithstanding – is Poirotesque a word?). It made me wonder about other unresolved questions/plot points that were left hanging in other episodes, like Lt. Lamont in Space Mutiny – was she actually dead or just mostly dead?
I’m going to use matty’s suggestion as a jumping off point and expand this a bit: What questions do you have that a MSTed movie should have answered, but never did?
Mine is: Was Peter Graves’ character in “The Beginning of the End” ever prosecuted by the authorities, or sued by the city of Chicago? His sloppy experiment DIRECTLY CAUSED the invasion. I want him frogmarched (or grasshoppermarched) out of his laboratory!
What’s your question?

(Oh and, for those of you who don’t know: Dark, slender and gaunt MERRITT STONE played the spider-eaten dad Pete Flynn in 313-EARTH VS. THE SPIDER; a clergyman in 414-TORMENTED; a consoling cop (uncredited) near the end of 319-WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST; and the “King Grady” in 411-THE MAGIC SWORD. Note that he does NOT appear in 419-THE REBEL SET!)
