One thing I didn't really like was the repeated use of the laser cut flats.
It sure was!E12's cameo was amazing.
So, just finished the last episodeand I'm assuming they didn't actually kill off Jonah right? Or are they doing a new test subject every season? Or was this an ambiguous ending on the assumption they wouldn't get renewed?
I guess I missed it while I was typing out my post lmao.Check out the surface of the SoL during the last episode credits
Almost finished with S11 but
Top 5 this season so far
Beast of Hollow Mountain (PANCHITO!)
Yongary (WHAT THE SHIT)
Cry Wilderness
Avalanche (The riffing saves the film)
Reptilicus
Rest are good but these 5 are the standouts to me.
I think Reptilicus I might have been too harsh on.
So is it as good as it used to be? Gunna watch this soon
Glad you say you can get used to it, after the first episode I was really thinking about just going back to the older ones. Just like to have a little bit of breathing room in the movies, sort of like watching the movie and have some jokes in addition, than have jokes anytime the movie isn't voicing something.I think this season has had a surprisingly high hit episodes to miss episodes ratio, even compared to past seasons of the show. I actually credit that success to... the higher rate of riffs. Once you get used to it, it ends up meaning more jokes land in any given handful of minutes, than in the old episodes. It all still feels a little more manic than I'd like, but man I want a season 12 now to see what they do with a chance to do a rev on everything.

(Finale)Is it supposed to be Jonah? Joel?
It's really too small to tell much of anything or even really what it is.

It's weird, I really didn't find Cry Wilderness all that funny,
(finale)Jonah talks about always wanting to take a space walk and is building a red space suit in episode 2.
I love how Joel didn't miss a beat to bring back Invention Exchange. He got his start as a prop comic (and MST3K was essentially a vessel for his prop comedy). He loves that stuff.
It was reenacting the weird parade in the movie. Then Jonah and the Mars take it to an exaggerated level. It's reminiscent of the rubber band segment from Racket Girls, after the short "Are You Ready for Marriage?" Where Mike has the rubber band and it snaps, then Dr. F and TVs Frank freak out. Seemed normal to me.What the hell is with the commercial/host segment during the Beast of Hollow Mountain with the dancing. That's weird, even for this show.
That was great. Been loving most of the invention exchanges so far. Tiny Desk is brilliant.I love how I didn't notice that the Madsfor the invention exchanges.stole ideas from riffs
Jesus, the end of Cry Wilderness went dark quick. Was Morgansupposed to be a bad guy worthy of that fate?
It was really fucking weird.
At the Earth's Core might be my favorite episode. The pacing is so bizarre and oddly disturbing despite the bad effects and the riffs are fire.
Ah, see now that makes more sense to me. Though ive never seen that particular Mike episode to put the [to me] weirdness in contextIt was reenacting the weird parade in the movie.

He said he didn't feel strongly one way or the other about bringing it back, but did so because of fan demand.
Personally, it's one of the Joel-isms I could've done without, but whatever.
I would take entire episodes of invention exchanges if it means we never get anything the same level as the late-series Pearl-in-time garbage. Some of the exchanges were quite clever/funnyYep, never been a big fan of invention exchange.
Felicia Day is the weakest link for me, she is no Dr. Clayton Forrester or Pearl Forrester. But I can get over that.
Willis O'Brien was involved in both films too. Effects for Black Scorpion and the story for Beast of Hollow Mountain. They even have somewhat similar plots. I was surprised to learn The Beast of Hollow Mountain is the earlier film.Lately I've been going back and forth between Season 11 episodes and old Season 1 & 2 ones I hadn't seen before but that I have on VHX. The Beast of Hollow Mountain reminded me a little of The Black Scorpion, and upon checking IMDb they were closer than I realized. The actors who were Pancho, Panchito, and Felipe in The Beast of Hollow Mountain were in The Black Scorpion, too. Released in neighboring years.
