Other threads have centered on the new show's riffing, pros and cons. I'm wondering what you guys think of the the use of Shadowrama in the reboot.
Are the riffers generically staring at the screen (like the closing credits of the MST3K movie) or are we getting a lot of riffer/screen "interaction" like the episodes of old?

Mostly the latter. Considering that the Riffing isn't actually being said while the theater bits are being filmed, the shadow puppets only sort of mime what lines should be going in any particular place. The silhouettes are much much smaller so it's a bit harder to see, but it's most evident with Crow who rarely seems to open his mouth. But interactivity!?! Boy is there LOADS of interactivity! Hardly a theater segment goes by where Crow and Servo don't do something wildly distracting or outlandishly over-produced as a sight gag. They even do a whole musical number with Gypsy and the other supplemental bot in Killer Fish! CGI Crow climbing up one side of the screen? No problem! Crow opening his mouth when he talks? Eh... |

The shadowrama stuff has been really distracting and unnecessary so far. It's cringe-inducing at times. I wish they'd stop.

It was okay when they did a Servo flying gag every now and then. However, they especially over did the shadowrama effects in season 12. They're almost unbearable at times. Surprisingly, Ator didn't have any weird shadowrama gags from what I remember. Maybe that's one of the reasons why it's my favorite season 12 episode.
