a review of 异形再变

#92 (April 2/30) (Review is for the MST3K version, now on Netflix) As premiere episodes go, this was marvelous. The introductory frame story introducing new host Jonah Ray (as "Jonah Heston") was beautifully done as a cardboard-spaceship facsimile of the Thunderbirds/Supermarionation aesthetic, and the new cast are fitting into their roles wonderfully already. As many have observed, it takes them an episode to get into a steady, comfortable rhythm with the riffing, but the source material they're working with gives them exactly what they need. The song from the first host segment is an instant MSTie classic, as is the cloned-Servos one later on.
