Some very good news for "Mystery Science Theater 3000" fans has emerged, and this isn't even news that will be good in the not-too-distant future -- it's good right now! The series resurfaced for season 13 last year after a very successful round of crowdfunding. It resulted in a full 13 episodes, including the return of Joel Hodgson as Joel Robinson, which is something that hasn't happened in years. Certain fans would be forgiven for not realizing that the series had come back yet again, as it wasn't through a major cable channel, nor was it on a big streaming service. Rather, the episodes were released independently through The Gizmoplex, which was a website dedicated to all things "MST3K."

The idea was that fans could pay for a somewhat pricey season pass to watch all of the episodes that ran for $135, though it also included access to livestreams and other perks.
