Completed Collection Thoughts: MST3K XXIV

Making two two-episodes-a-weekend double features out of it, I managed to get into and through before the end of the year one of the two Mystery Science Theater 3000 collections I had let sit in my push to comment on all the episodes. The "all foreign films" nature of this particular collection might have helped things push together that way, well enough anyway for thoughts of "I ought to get around to posting in the new year" to come to mind... In any case, the two "Fugitive Alien" episodes naturally fit together (as well as "movies" made from widely separated episodes of a serial television series fit, anyway...) I did find myself pondering the whole "I like the spirit of the earlier 'Joel episodes,' but moment-by-moment they're not quite as engaging" issue, though, even if I seemed better able to pick up the references back to previous episodes now. After the "expected" yet still welcome hilarity of "The Sword and the Dragon," I finished off things with "Samson vs. The Vampire Women," the first episode I actually commented on and therefore one that had been waiting a long time for me to get back to.
