what a great episode!
i just finished s11e01 Reptilicus and thoroughly enjoyed it with several pause the show, laugh out loud moments.
i'm a little behind on reading this thread (i still haven't) since i avoid spoilers at all costs but here's a flash review [please beware sloppy writing...]
since this is an internet forum, i'll get the only downer out of the way first:
i had a tough time telling tom/baron and crow/hampton apart when they riffed. i had to turn on the subs and try to train my ear on the subtle differences between their voices. all of the old crow/tom voice combos were easy to tell apart but not now. i hope it's just cause they're new. johah is easy to pick out at least.
the rest is all good.
* invention exchange!
* letters from kids!
* end of episode stinger!
* songs! both in the theater and on the sol
* lots and lots of riffing, no shortage of jokes (season 0 this is not!)
* and a good movie for riffing with good sound and clear video (i.e. not slime people, etc)
there's new stuff and changes that are... different. e.g. the sets and overall production is very polished unlike the old shoe-string budget show, especially in the early days.
also, there's a ton of writers so they were able to cram in jokes in every possible spot during the film.
when the kickstarter was done, joel broke out the $$$ per episode and i noted how much higher it was than the old days. he had said in a panel way back the each episode was costing (ballparking) 150k and even adjusting for inflation, the new episodes cost a TON more. but seeing episode 1 and watching all the credits, i can understand where all the money went. in general, tv production values and costs are way higher than the old days so stuff looks so much more polished now.
overhead gypsy and hovering crow are new twists though i hope they don't overuse in-theater gags.
and the mads lair/set is very big while the sol camera shot makes it feel cramped.
did anyone else notice "the wild rebels" bass line the band uses?
so, here it is, nuMST. i'm thrilled. i don't mind the changes and differences. there's no recreating the exact same mst we all know and love unless we go back in time. i think this is a fantastic restart, at least episode 1, and can't wait to watch more. on to episode 2!
