   Episode 1114 (small spoilers) (The End?)

   Somehow, this was easier to take than the LAST Doug McClure vehicle.  Maybe a   
   slightly higher "cheese" content made all the difference....   
      
   Here are some of the lines I found entertaining:   
      
   "Are you trying to ruin my wedding?" -Kinga   
   "Maybe..." -Max   
      
   "So many Jostens class rings to forge, so little time!" -Crow   
      
   "The cameraman is slowly backing away, to a better job, on another soundstage"   
   -Tom   
      
   "What is this?  What am I rubbing on myself?" -Tom, under the mental influence   
   of Crow   
   "It's BASIL.  I'm gonna eat you!" -Crow   
      
   "Looks like we got a lucky break.  Puppeteers must be at lunch!" -Jonah, as   
   David Innes (Doug McClure)   
      
   "I'm coming with you, to once again watch from a safe distance" -Crow, as "Ra"   
      
   Some comments at the end of Season 11:   
        The host segments and world-building are generally top shelf, IMHO.  The   
   riffs are plentiful, but perhaps, in general, not up to the standards of the   
   best of old MST3K.  On the whole, this beats Cinematic Titanic and Rifftrax,   
   IMHO, YMMV (although    
   the Rifftrax of GLITTER with guest riffer MARY JO PEHL surely ranks among the   
   top MST3K episodes, by any name!  Go out and see it, right now ;-)).   
      
        The "ending" host segment seemed rushed, somehow, to me.  Perhaps they   
   were filming alternate endings, so that it wouldn't leak.  Or maybe their time   
   in the "really large studio" was limited.  Hmmm.
