mst3k, criticism, nostalgia 

It just dawned on me that a good chunk of what's wrong with MST3K Seasons 11+ could be fixed with one simple change:

Replace Rebecca Hanson with Leslie Hall, the absolute goddess who sang "Tight Pants/Body Rolls."

GPC needs to be FABULOUS, gosh dang it.

I feel like Rebecca Hanson doesn't sing showtunes on a regular basis. If she's not going to babble about Richard Basehart dummies, GPC needs to at least be the kind of gal who'd break out into showtunes.

It's great that they've taken away her mental blocks. But now she needs to be played by someone passionate -- someone you could believe might, at any given moment and despite her massive intellect, accidentally eat her microphone.

Hanson's GPC is just too damn sane.
