Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
Since I'm a raging MiSTie, I thought I'd see if any of the rest of you love it as much as I do.
Favorite character? Favorite episode? Favorite Line? Favorite Mad? Thoughts? Cabot? Chief? McCloud?

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
I love both Joel and Mike, all the Bots and all the Mads, so it's hard to choose! I guess Tom Servo is my favorite Bot, if I had to choose.
Picking a favorite episode is tough! Extreme fondness for Space Mutiny, though.
Me, take me away!

Character: Gotta be the well read chick magnet Tom Servo. Cos he reminds me of me. :P
Episode: This is a toughie, but I gotta go with Mitchell. Though, Riding With Death is a very close second.
Line: Another tough one to pick, but...DEEP HURTING! DEEP HURTING! That line kept going through my head in an endless loop when I first saw "Ghost Rider."
Mad: TV's Frank. No question. *goofy Frank laugh*
Thoughts: It really sucks that YouTube is taking the eps off. The jerks. Rhino Home Video better deliver the goods, or else!
Cabot: No thanks. Tryin' to quit.

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
Although Youtube has taken some of my favourites down, public-spirited people are still posting them. I highly recommend Colossus and the Headhunters, even if you've seen it a million times. A couple of spectacular hats, the world's most adorable pet, and plenty of moderate outdoor exercise.
Then what happened?

Bumping because mst3k.com has relaunched! It's got brand-new shorts featuring Gypsy, Tom and Crow, an online merchandising store, and an archive of host seg clips from the show!

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
Personally, I'm not too excited about it. It's been getting largely negative reviews.
Still, I haven't actually seen it yet. I'll save any criticism for after I actually watch it.

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on it, but I'm not too impressed with the place so far. It smacks a lot of "everybody else is doing popular stuff, I own the MST3K rights so I'm gonna ride the coattails" to me.
Is this a general fanthread for all the folks that were involved in MST3K back in the day, too? If so, then I say we keep an eye on Cinematic Titanic as well! I'm far more interested in what's going down with that old gang than with Mallon.

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
I'm sort of appreciating the clips, and having an online store (I want actual old school teeshirts, though). I cannot get any audio on the short, though, so I can't judge it.

Re: Mystery Science 3000: The Fanthread!
It'd be nice if the clips they posted were a bit better than Youtube quality, and the store had more than just the weird cartoon designs for its merchandise. We'll see how it goe, maybe it'll get better.
