We are huge MST3K fans around here and can't wait to share the holiday with Jonah and the Bots!

After a splashy, multi-million dollar crowdfunding campaign, Mystery Science Theater 3000 Season 11 premiered on Netflix last year with a level of hype never before afforded the show, which had been off the air since 1999.This time, instead of three seasons of onerous network demands at the Syfy Channel (after fleeing cancellation on Comedy Central), MST3K would be white hot. This time, it would return with cameos from Jerry Seinfeld and Neil Patrick Harris. The rebooted MST3K picked up Elliott Kalan, the former head writer for The Daily Show. Other writing talent flocked to contribute: bestselling fantasy author Pat Rothfuss, Rick and Morty’s Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, and Ready Player One writer Ernest Cline. Robert Lopez, who co-created The Book of Mormon and co-wrote “Let it Go,” contributed original songs.The reboot introducing new host Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray) and new voices for robots Crow (Hampton Yount), Tom Servo (Baron Vaughn) and Gypsy (Rebecca Hanson) —the show’s history of replacement voices and hosts, first from show’s creator Joel Hodgson to series writer Michael Nelson, dampens the sense of discontinuity.

Douglas Rain, the Canadian actor who provided the voice to the HAL 9000 computer in Stanley Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, died Sunday at the age of 90.
The Stratford Festival in Ontario, Canada, which Rain co-founded in 1952, announced the actor’s death Sunday, adding that Rain died of natural causes, CTV News reports.
“Canadian theatre has lost one of its greatest talents and a guiding light in its development,” Stratford Festival’s artistic director Antoni Cimolino said in a statement. “Douglas Rain was that rare artist: an actor deeply admired by other actors.”

Archaeopteryx is one of the most famous fossils ever discovered. Its significance is that it demonstrates birds are likely descended from dinosaurs. But it was once accused of being a forgery. Modern scanning techniques, though, show no fakery was involved. Lorraine Cornish, the head of conservation at London's Natural History Museum, spoke with our science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
