Since last commenting here on the early days of the new, “self-streamed” Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes (right around when Emily Marsh became the second host of the season, “Emily Connor”), I have kept up with their premieres. The thought “it’s not all that good to drive yourself to the point of setting down an opinion on everything” that’s been coming to me of late, though, did nudge me away from making more posts on the episodes. So far as opinions unexpressed at the time on the subject went, my enjoyment did seem to be increasing as the premieres went on. Maybe too much could be made of the general opinion the original series picked up steadily from its first-season episodes to its third-season episodes and beyond. That might tie into a certain shaded thought of mine that’s been recurring ever since “the Gizmoplex” opened that the happy fandom is one that can blame “executives” for things going wrong with a continuing series, and with Comedy Central, the Sci-Fi Channel, and Netflix no longer in the picture an unfortunate clock might now be ticking.
