The Official and Very Rifftastic Mystery Science Theater 3000 Thread

Okay, I watched the season 13 premiere today. The Mads segments were underwhelming, the riffs were okay but not great. The movie was suitably dumb and incoherent, but there were some missed riff opportunities, like in the opening when they said Santo had dedicated "his entire life" to hiding his identity. Even as a child? Was he born in a mask? That one was just sitting there waiting to be mocked. It was also weird that they did a Twilight Zone riff on seeing Santo's tunnel-like time machine instead of the more appropriate and obvious 1960s sci-fi reference. I mean, Luisa even landed in the past in slow motion, just like Tony and Doug, except in lingerie.
 
Worth noting that the announcement also mentions they will be part of the writing team for that episode as well, so it's not just a cameo appearance.

I wonder if there is any chance that Trace will return to the Crow T. Robot role as well. I love Bill Corbett and I love his Crow, but Trace will always be the "real" Crow to me and I would love to see this new season include them both.
