Mystery Science Preview Update
The opening instalments of this latest iteration of Mystery Science Theater 3000 have kept being previewed for the people who paid into the Kickstarter. Something about “watching scheduled livestreams” tickled my fancy enough to get me viewing the premieres, but a few thoughts kept nagging at me. First, I was stuck wondering whether “making a big deal of seeing these previews” amounted to “boasting” or just “giving things away in advance.” A more profound unanswered question was just how much I was really enjoying the “riffing.” There wasn’t anything wrong with it, and yet I was grappling with the thought some golden ideal was getting in the way of engaging with it, all the more insurmountable for being undefined. The second new episode did have an interesting movie to deal with so far as I’m concerned, but I just wasn’t sure whether the whole experience that movie was part of stood out in the same way.
After a bit of a pause for Easter, though, a third preview was said to precede the regular all-viewers launch itself. I logged into it again, aware this would introduce a new set of “riffers.” This time, the total experience was more entertaining, from movie to new performers indeed “pretty good.” It has managed to brush up my interest a bit both going forward and contemplating looking back.
