I figured if anyone would make toys of the show it'd be NECA. Went ahead and checked and guess what?

Nice! Needs a Khandarian Dagger, and the Necronomicon also.

It also occurred to me that Ash vs. ED would be a great Left4Dead type game if you could play as the different team members.

Oh god, now I really hope that this show somehow leads to a kickass Evil Dead video game getting made. And I barely play games these days but I'd buy that one 100%.

I don't collect figures (other than some OG black series stormtroopers), but I had to order chainsaw Ash. I kinda want the original Evil Dead Ash too because it comes with the Necronomicon, reel to reel, and Linda's head, but the Ash sculpt is pretty lovely.

Ash goes back in time and creates a bunch of paradoxes that create a powerful demon. He tracks Ash down, calls him Dad and then starts loving things up even worse as Ash tries to save his friends, keep causality in some sort of working order and combats the new evil he brought into place. Bonus points if the paradoxes are poo poo like Evil Dead 1 world, Army of Darkness, maybe one of the video games and ironically the Remake.

Also "Evil Dead 1" world is the same world. The opening of ED2 is basically a compressed recap of the first movie up to when evil grabs him and throws him through the forest.

I skipped the last five episodes when they aired and binged through them today.

Holy poo poo, this show. I liked the first season just fine but it feels like they just amped up all the strong stuff and cut a lot of the fluff and weakness.

Next episode - looks like time travel? Wonder if they'll do some Back to the Future 2-style hijinks with him witnessing the events of the first or second movie again.

ED2/Army of Darkness in the main - Ruby's 'sister' used the book to open a portal to banish the Evil to, only it just seems to dump both the Evil, Ash and the Oldsmobile in medieval England. Given the book is proven to be capable of it, there may be a passage on Pablo somewhere that they could use to try and undo everything.

(of course if they do, it won't work and will probably just strand them all somewhere terrible or completely gently caress up the world or something because it's Ash)

Based on the preview for the next episode where they are clearly BTTFing in the Delta. Also, the description of the next episode "Ash, distraught about losing Pablo is determined to bring him back. Ruby and Kelly tag along as they travel back in time to make sure Young Ash never sees the Necronomicon."

Am I wrong or did the Ashless gang pull up to the asylum in the delta? It was dark and my tv is breaking down so I wasn't sure.

I'm pretty sure it was a flashback to an early, pre-possessed Delta time from Ash's house.

Yup. In episode 7 Ash sees them pull up in the Delta near the end, and episode 8 starts with the Ghostbeaters getting out of the Delta in front of the asylum. Maybe Pablo duct taped it back to running condition?

I think to Ash's delusion, it was turned into a flashback, but given everything in the place was a manipulation and not a fabrication, it was also the crew pulling up.

So basically: Ash looked out, saw his friends from the Cabin getting out of the Delta, apparently knew what was happening the whole time so figured correctly it was the real gang, who were actually getting out of the Delta. It's really pretty amusingly clever, made far better by the fact the show didn't jump up and down and make sure you noticed it. I like when cool details just happen and they let the audience notice them or not.

tithin posted:

Simple: They lost the rights to Time Traveling with the Necronomicon along with AOD, which sounds ridiculous but was actually part of it. They got the AOD rights back this season but have very, very carefully avoided referencing AOD other than the first episode with the chainsaw arm picture, and Ash mentioning the flying demon (which was also ED2, so not necessarily AOD).

Which means they've been sitting on having full access to everything from Army of Darkness and not using it. Which means they've got one hell of a trump card to play in their deck right now.

Assuming the S-Mart ending of AOD is canon, they've got a wonderful chance here to make them screw up on the time travel again and end up in a post apocalyptic future for a few episodes, too. Hell it'd be even funnier if they actually tried to bridge those two endings like they've tried to bridge ED1/ED2 (fuzzy on the details on purpose, of course) and say Ash somehow escaped that future to end up in the S-Mart ending.

OK I'm rambling but I find the way the show has this "All possible canon is canon, even if it at odds with itself" attitude hilarious in a good way. Though I've wondered sometimes if they went with the popular "skip the recreation part" concept and are basically treating the canon as: ED1 up until Ash is turned -> ED2.

I'm wondering what happened to the Necronomicon after it was thrown in the TrunkPortal of Hell. If Ruby makes a new necronomicon from Pablo's remains, will that make 2 Necronomici? Necronomicons.

The real question is where the gently caress the Necronomicon comes from at the Cabin considering Ash brings the one from the past into the future after it was destroyed.

I'm hoping they save Pablo but in doing so they make it so the first movie never happens, and they come back to a future where Ash is a regular Joe but the Deadites are taking over the world. Then Season 3 starts off with Pablo Kelly and Ruby going back to ruin Ash's life all over again by re-orchestrating the first night at the cabin from behind the scenes.

Kinda like the DS9 episode where they go back in time and actually cause the old The Trouble With Tribbles episode to happen.

God I hate that I know this, but they actually made the old episode happen as it originally did; everything they did was to stop it from changing. The other time traveler was trying to gently caress it up.
