::double takes at the name:: Holy crap, bussy. Did you lose your password during your long absence? Anyway, Joel said on Twitter that he'll have an Update on Monday. After the long campaign and kooky telethon, I'd say the guy deserves a weekend to rest. THEN BACK TO WORK! Lol, but seriously I expect the Update to be one big long tear stained thank you, and honestly, I feel like I'm the one who should be thanking him. This was a magical ride. (but I'd thank him even more if that Update involved some...oh, say, KTMA)

Yeah I forgot my password, and the email I used for my original account has long since been dead.
In other news: I imagine he'll continue his thanks in his original style of a sleepy "ohhh wooowwww thaaannnk you guyyyyyssss"

The next goal is getting picked up by a Network.

I figured it would be a little bit before Joel updates, the poor guy's probably taking some needed rest. Besides, by Monday we'll have a new (hopefully more exact) add-on total. Anyone know how long those will be sold? I do hope he'll bring up when production might start, those additional Rifftrax downloads mentioned during the telethon, and what other surprises have popped up since this ended. And a update on those KTMA episodes.

There's one or two on there I want but can't afford at the moment. I was thinking the same thing. While they don't really need the money, they could still put whatever more towards making the show better, since I'm sure a lot of people, mostly younger fans without jobs, would be wanting to put their Christmas money towards some add-ons. The blu-ray set is a pretty good deal now, with 14 episodes. But after the new year, they'd need to take them down or start adding shipping fees, so they can send out surveys to the backers and combine shipping info.

I concur with both of you. Hopefully the add-ons will run through the 1st; can't hurt to add some extra $ to the coffers!

Here's Joel's quote from Twitter:
I can totally believe how exhausted Joel and his team must be. Besides the long hours he was surely working, especially in the last few days, the whole campaign was a real emotional roller-coaster. More than enough to warrant a long vacation.

First episode of New MST3K
Jonah Heston is managing the live stream on Youtube for the Mads. Things go haywire. The feed cuts in and out. Audio is horrendous. Huge (and instant) backlash for the Mads online. Jonah Heston gets launched into space.
/end scene

I heard a lot of chatter on Skype about what the ideal explanation is for how the bots leave Mike (and ConGypsCo) and wind up back on the SOL again. My favorite thing that someone else came up with was that Mike ordered Torgo's Pizza, didn't have his wallet, and traded the bots for the pizza. And then later... I forget the rest of what was said. I'll fill in the gaps... And then Kinga orders pizza and Torgo can't break a hundred easily, so he hands over the robots again. As for me? I'm hoping how Mike loses the robots somehow involves finally, finally getting someone to sign his time card.

(but I'd thank him even more if that Update involved some...oh, say, KTMA) The way this is going I'd be happy if he just announces what his KTMA intentions are - even if it's just to do something at a later date. Going back and reading the update where he hinted at KTMA is seems really oddly written. What does that mean? Probably nothing - just caught my attention. Oh, on the other side - if for some reason it's not doable I hope he updates us with that information instead of just leaving us in suspense forever. I am happy to notice that the title graphic has been finally updated to reflect that we've completed the entire process and reached all the goals. Anyone know if that 114% figure from $5.5 million or some other amount?

Hey all - new here, but (relatively) long time MSTie. Over the moon about the revival. Anyway, on the subject of how the 'bots wind up with Noah... in my mind, the first segment of the first new episode would play out roughly like this:
Joel is lecturing at the Gizmonic institute as a guest of honor. No longer a lowly janitor, he's an acclaimed scientist. His invention exchanges over the years earned him a lot of respect in the scientific community, but most of it stems from his creation of the 'bots. Fully functional sentient beings; they are also present (and taking lots of credit). Gypsy runs a successful corporation. Crow and Servo... are still living with Mike and haven't amounted to all that much. But hey, robots!
Kinga Forrester feels insulted; Joel's accomplishments were only possible because of her family's twisted experiment. She deserves the recognition! Plans revenge. Intends to lure Joel and the 'bots into a "full scale replica" (actually fully functional duplicate) of the Satellite of Love. Crow, Servo, Gypsy, Cambot enter, complain that it isn't accurate to the original. "Looks like it was made with a three dee printer or something!" Joel, however, steps out for whatever reason (bathroom, phone call, etc), unbeknownst to Kinga. Enter Jonah, a low ranking Gizmonic staff member. Lost, hoping to have met Joel. Kinga launches them into space. The experiment continues.
Oh, and Son of Frank is just there, no explanation. Que theme song.

Heh... as much as I'm hoping it'll somehow relate to Mike's time-card finally getting signed, I like that one. It's simple, to the point, and gets everyone where they need to be.

I don't get paid until Thursday and I was intending on buying a "name in the credits" spot when I do. I will be the saddest panda in the world if they take the add-on shop away before then.
