Kinda. In one of the Blu ray commentaries Greg Nicotero mentions that they did a re-shoot of the dinner scene with the other characters from the first movie present, but the quick re-cap thing they were going for was getting too long so they dropped it. So yeah, it's more a timing thing than a continuity break.

How the hell did they make an episode so far removed stylistically from all the others, yet it's still goddamn great and fits in with the whole vibe of the show?

Episode reminded me of the Buffy episode Normal Again with a nice touch of the Angel episode Smile Time.

Ha. I told my wife that it had an Angel vibe while I was watching it. I had forgotten about that episode, apparently not subconsciously though. Good call.

Great, great episode. Love seeing the madness Baal subjects his victims to, and Puppet Ash was awesome. Can't wait for the moment when Ash turns it around on Baal.

I love how Ash had the whole scenario figured out pretty much instantly. He went from waking up in a false reality to trying to murder its creator in like 5 seconds flat.

I loved how he was mocking Baal as well - "Ruby told me you would be really difficult to kill but this is easy!"

I've maybe seen an hour and a half total between all the old movies, and I love this series. You don't have to appreciate the old movies in order to enjoy the hell outta this show.

I still so, so loving want a Jeffry Combs cameo in season 3. Or a recurring part. gently caress, I don't care, just put him in. He's still as awesome as ever.

By the way, I have a somewhat ridiculous theory on how this season might end: I think Ruby is going to die terribly, followed rapidly by Pablo, Kelly and Linda to drive Ash over the edge, Baal claims total victory.. and then he is totally going to rip time a new rear end in a top hat and go back to the start of the season and stop everyone from getting ganked.

Yeah it's a terrible idea with zero evidence but gently caress if I'm not rolling with that as a possibility. If he actually succeeds at killing Pablo or Kelly then I'll think it has more merit. I am basing this off, partially, the fact they got the AOD rights and have used them very sparingly, which says Time Travel is on the menu.

Nah it was fun and funny but, to me, it felt more like a tribute sketch show rather than a genuine continuation of the series.

I'd rather have it than not have it but season 2 has just blown it out of the water imo.

So who here is concerned for the third season given it's under a new show runner?

I mean granted I looked into the guy, and he is really into Evil Dead and has been working with the team on and off for decades, so it's not like I feel it's in bad hands. But I am worried you won't see quite the same level of batshit insanity we've been getting, either.

I loved season 1 but I have to admit season 2 has blown it the gently caress out of the water, too.

There was the slowdown at the shaman, the really failed characterization of Amanda, the lack of things we learned about Ruby.. it had problems. Problems that have largely been fixed and amped up in the second season.

So I'll give you this: Season 2 is definitely superior to Season 1, but I don't think you give some of the better Season 1 episodes enough credit.

I predict the season will end with Ruby dying because Lucy Lawless hates spending longer than a contractual year or two on any show it seems. 6 Years with Xena, 4 with Battlestar Galacitca, and 3 with Hercules. Everything else has been two years or shorter.

Ruby dies, Ash gets kidnapped/sent to hell or whatever, Pablo becomes the new Ash for next season. It won't be in line with traditional Evil Dead where all of Ash's friends die, but they've been pretty heavy with the hints that he's not going to let his friends die anymore.
