Note: As this new season of MST3K is a work in progress, earlier threads on 1301 exist. They chronicle the anticipation, immediate response, recommendations and suggestions, and its evolution these last few months. The links to these are below. This thread is dedicated to the final result now that the dust has cleared and will be linked with my ongoing episode threads.
Ok, so I wanted to make a place to air out thoughts for the first episode of the new season.
What worked, what needs a little love, and what might not have worked for you.
Across numerous responses I’ve seen that sound levels between the movie and the riffs need a better balance as well as comments on the compositing of the green screen.
It seemed the pacing of the riffs was on point and addressed some fan’s concerns they were a bit too rapid fire in season 11.
What else?

Hello friends. I’m trying to gather some very informal early data on the audio volume issues some of you encountered during the live event on Friday night. This is a little baffling to me as the volume balance was fine for me (watching on an Amazon Fire Stick) but clearly this was a not uncommon occurrence for many of you! I am hopeful that we will figure this out, and your info will help.

It could be some filmmaking approach or a design element, maybe the way things played out in the theater, or perhaps something more philosophical than tangible, but what was the most important aspect of this new episode for you?
For me, aside from the larger idea of MST3K coming back and being an independent production, I love how we got the number of host segments back to how things once were in Seasons 1 through 11 (as opposed to how the Season 12 episodes each had one fewer host segment).

Because the complete credits weren’t yet added, we didn’t get the stinger at the end of the experiment.
What do you think should be the stinger for Santo in the Treasure of Dracula?
I’m thinking that it’s going to be the goofy sidekick swallowing the whistle and making whistle noises.

Kinga to Max: “The Gizmoplex! We’re ruined! Now our only option is to turn to Dr. Cabal, the strange financier from the future! That is the last thing we need!”
So, any theories or speculation about the enigmatic Dr. Cabal?
Is a mysterious new Mad set to land on the scene, or will this be some character from MST3K’s past that we’ve seen before? What makes this Dr. Cabal so strange? What does it mean that this individual has apparently come from the future…

The final cut with credits and all. Will it not be available until we get the downloads, or will it stream before that?
