Why I'm grateful for Season 11 (A story I thought I'd share)

Here's a story: Every Friday, I meet with a life coach of mine. Two Fridays ago I showed her "Pod People" to introduce her to MST3K. Unfortunately, she wasn't crazy about it. One Friday later, I asked if she wanted to see it again, and she said no. I asked her what she didn't like about it, and she said that the references weren't current. I then decided to watch Reptilicus with her, and she enjoyed it much more.

And this makes me grateful for the current revived season. There are people who prefer the older seasons, but alas, the new episodes aren't so much for us as they are for people like my life coach who needs current references to really understand it, just as I didn't get into Saturday Night Live in its first Season or Doctor Who with their first doctor. It just shows that there are more people who will become MSTies at a later date than most of us began.
