During this week’s episode guide discussion, alert regular Kenneth Morgan asked:
Have we done a Weekend Discussion question like, “Which MSTed movies would you re-write the ending to, and how?” Actually, I wouldn’t mind seeing a remake of this one using the ‘bots ending.
It feels like we have, but I searched around and I don’t think so. So let’s do it!
I’ll pick the easy one: At the end of “Manos: The Hands of Fate,” Mike’s shot successfully kills The Master and also alerts the police, who arrive and round up the entire group. We close with the family — and a new puppy — cavorting on a Texas beach.

LOS ANGELES — Ernest Borgnine, who delivered an Academy Award-winning performance as the lonely Bronx butcher looking for love in the 1955 drama “Marty” and displayed his comic side in the 1960s as the star of the popular TV sitcom “McHale’s Navy,” has died July 8 of apparent kidney failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center here. He was 95. MSTies will remember his performance as the grandfather in the movie in episode 1003- MERLIN’S SHOP OF MYSTICAL WONDERS.
