I'd say Bruce Campbell kicking his own rear end but that's already happened.

The answers to the questions "why does he have a copy of the Necronomicon" and "why would he read it, even stoned" is "because Ash" and I love it. :allears:

So many amazing Sam Raimi camera shots. Like the "Ash puts his face really close to obvious danger" shot.

You would think after 30 years, that loving cabin, and being warped to the Middle Ages* that Ash would learn not to do poo poo like this.

But nope, because Ash.


(* This happened, no one ever talks about it, and Ash himself doesn't see at as particularly unusual so he never brings it up. You can't convince me otherwise. :colbert:)

Echoing the "that ruled in every way it should have" sentiment. Exactly what an Evil Dead TV show should be, can't wait for more. Deadites are back because he got stoned and read the book to get laid.

The best part were the sticky notes. Why did he have it translated? Why didn't he already have the passage to undo it written down too? Why would he keep it in an easily accessible trunk in the first place?

The answers to all these questions, and more, is "Ash."

I tried a quick look through the thread and didn't see it mentioned, but does anyone know why there was no S-Mart?

I look forward to the upcoming flashback episode dedicated to the story of the apparent liquidation of the S-Mart company during the recession.

It's been a good 20+ years, S-Mart has probably long since closed down.

I mean anything they don't have the rights to bring up probably doesn't need to be given the large time gap. And they've already hinted they're down with shipping Ash and Co. to other time periods in later seasons, soooo

I'm not sure that they really follow "rules" but totally obliterating the head seemed the way to go. Cutting off the head never seemed to work, Linda was decapitated and her headless body could still get around and the head kept talking.

I hope one episode features nothing but extremely pissed off deadites chucking their heads at Ash repeatedly and trying to bite the poo poo out of him.

Did Ash or anybody else get bitten or attacked recently, I can't remember. In the movies any attack, even with a weapon, inflicted by a Deadite spread the Evil to the victim and turned them into a Deadite. I could've sworn Ash's good hand got bitten by Roper in this latest episode.

Pablo got stabbed in the shoulder.

Though really, it looks like the only prerequisite for deadite infection is "would be a good plot point to have this person turn into one."

berzerkmonkey posted:

Did he ever get fully infected, or was it just the hand? I seem to remember a white-eyed Deadite Ash, but I might be making that up. EDIT: I think I'm thinking of the mirror scene in Evil Dead 2.

Three times: Once at the end of ED1/beginning of ED2 that was forced out of him by sunlight, once in his hand, and one last time where a piano and Linda's necklace shakes him out of it. A common theory is that the expelled deadite combined with his mirror image and formed Bad Ash from Army of Darkness.

I presume Evil hasn't tried again because holy poo poo, it's Ash, nobody gently caress with this guy unless we can help it.

You might chop a Deadite's limbs off and they could keep coming or they could just give up and leave their host body, a Deadite might take over your dead grandma or it might possess your best friend in a moment of weakness. It's whatever they feel like doing.

Just watch the second one, it's what most people mean when they talk about Evil Dead anyway. I think I've seen it 3 times as much as the other two combined. The first half-hour of Ash alone in the cabin is easily my favorite part of the series.

The laughing room is still my favorite horror movie scene of all time. It's the one thing that just completely makes you go, "What."

Like as a movie goer, that stupid deer twisting down and laughing is the point where you go, oh, so that's the thing that drives people insane in movies and books. Yeah, now I understand why they never describe it.

Loved the effect on that demon too. But my favorite part of the whole episode was probably Lucy Lawless flicking the fork in Deadite Dad's (Dadite?) eye while he grumbled at her to quit it :allears:

"Oh I hope a deadite doesn't rise from this grave to attack me HA GOTCHA FUCKER YOU AND ME ARE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE CHAT" was great. Like, the deadites hate Ash, but they are legit scared of Lawless. It's kind of refreshing.

So Ash is pretty dumb in this, but in Army of Darkness he builds a completely functional bio-mechanical appendage. I mean he was never Einstein, but he seemed to understand things about nerve endings that are insane even by todays technological standards.

Ash is good at two things: blundering into deadite invasions and killing them. He is a savant at anything that aids him in killing deadites and an idiot in every other aspect.

Oh man I am so hype about the cabin.

I want Ash to bust in there like he knows exactly what he's in for. Like, the first thing he does should be kicking down the door, shooting that drat deer head, and then smashing the mirror with the butt of his shotgun.

Then grinding the shards to dust under his boots.

The second movie ended with Ash traveling back in time to 1300s England and Army of Darkness's original ending had Ash sleep too long and wake up in a Post-Apocalyptic future.

Like just "wait you went to the future?" "Yup. But that's not important right now." And then it's never mentioned again.

This is also the first episode where Bruce Campbell stopped being Bruce Campbell Just Screwing Around and Having Fun and actually started being Ash Williams. Up until this point he's been a loser goofball played for laughs. Now, we're seeing him back in his element and having to deal with old memories, and it's absolutely great.

I'm really pissed that Amanda got to kill the hand. Ash's hand has always been Ash's fight and if it's really dead then I'm ticked.

Well, technically it was dead to start with :v: I don't look at it as the hand losing since it regenerates the entirety of Bad Ash. Pretty good swan song for a 50 year old appendage.

The pendant came from El Brujo so I think Pablo's going to be okay. He just may be supernatural for a little while.

If someone is making gif, the slowmo part of the "humans puppets" getting shoot at would be perfect.

I realize they were freaked out but I'm not sure Pablo and Kelly hoped to accomplish there. Maybe, I don't know, wait until she separates them to leer and then start shooting?

Deadites probably have way faster reaction times than humans, though, so it probably wouldn't have worked. :shrug:

Also only people who get horrific injuries but still stay intact become Deadites, and usually the injury has to happen to their face/head area.

Only because it's a dick move to do it to people who are horribly injured.

Possessing Blonde Hitchhiker is the ultimate dick move towards Pablo El Hijo del Libro de la Muerte so she's a goner.
