And in
mst3k news, someone opened up the Joel-Mike debate. That one was just completly filled with joke comments, then Dr. Thinker himself asked for the posting to remove, and then the commenter asked what the hell they did wrong, and then everyone told them. Some also commented about their prefences, with no flames, I might add. And others commented how you can have a sane convewrsation about who should be the next US president, but you can't have the same conversation about who was the better host...
Then I thought, why don't I express my opinions here?
If I'm watching it on tape, I perfer Mike. He's more familar, and he makes a bit more sense than Joel. But if I'm reading a msting or a fic, I perfer Joel.
(I like invention exchanges: the salad/anti-matter shooter icon came from a battle royal between MST3K, Death, the Men In Black, Spock and a Division of Storm Troopers, King Arthur and his knights from
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Godzilla, English Soccer Holigans and Boba Fett. MST3K won of course.
They didn't win the tournament of champions, tournament of champions. But since they were going against
Yoda...

But the prefrence that is really werid? I generaly prefer the host segments more than I do the main purpose of the show. I have no idea why. It could just be the refrences that are flying over my head. Or it could be that I can't sit still long enough to watch it.
So the fact the show was on early in the morning in the last few years was a boon: I was too tired to do anything else but watch it.
