MST3K 1004: Future War

I've made it to the last DVD of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 "20th Anniversary Set." When I first had the chance to see episodes of the series (then) not available on official video, "Future War" was one of the first ones I sought out, and that might have had a lot to do with having already become interested in the movie's "high concept" plot as explained in the official episode guide, what with dinosaurs and cyborgs from the future and kickboxing... However, I've since noticed that it's not quite so much a favourite of some other people. I seem to recall someone suggesting that, since the episode guide itself suggests this episode was the one the "Best Brains" were working on when they were informed the tenth season would be their last, they had somehow "lost their spirit" and it showed. All the same, my own appreciation of this episode seems unabated. To me, it seems rich both with entertaining "riffs" and the poverty-stricken excess of the movie itself, in some ways distinct in the series as a "1990s ripoff" to match the "1980s ripoffs" also a memorable part of the series.
( 'Okay, my theory is that the director shot the entire movie without looking at it.' )
