    Ash vs Evil Dead General Discussion Thread [NO SPOILERS]

    OK, so Saturday's cable ratings have been released but AvED is nowhere on the listing.  Encore, Starz' sister company, released numbers, and Cinemax and HBO did as well, so it's not that premium channels are on delay for the holiday. This either means one of two things: 1: The numbers were...

    How did Ash get the Necronomicon back?

    That also brings up an interesting point: it might be in the theatrical ending that Ash doesn't sleep at all, but in fact makes it back to modern times via return whirlpool. /throws out own pet theory

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    That's an interesting theory (and it suggests that Ren Pic/Ghosthouse has primacy over Evil Dead 2 and not TED) The thing is that the show's marketing was pretty loud and spot-on; they did about everything they could do to get word out there and it still failed.   There were giant bilboards...

    Ash vs Evil Dead General Discussion Thread [NO SPOILERS]

    Re spoiler The article totally confirms that Bruce was the last stop-point for everything Ash said in the series, so we can blame him entirely for those character choices most of us are leery about.

    Evil Dead: Ashes 2 Ashes / Hail to the King concept art request.

    Ooh, maybe it might be on the archived sites on BOTD? My other suggestion would be to check out some LPs of the game - I know there's at least one video someone took of the concept art that was used as an unlockable on the games - and screencap from there?

    Ash vs Evil Dead General Discussion Thread [NO SPOILERS]

    Throwing in mine and agreeing with King Rob's and DyD's points:  1: DEFINE YOUR CHARACTER'S POWERS: One minute Ruby needs a dead hand to guide her, the next she's an all-powerful immortal who cannot remember the spells from a book SHE WROTE.  One minute Pablo is a shaman in training with...

    Ash Vs. Evil Dead DVD / BLURAY RELEASE DATE

    According to the picture someone posted in the OT topic thread, it's Dana, Lucy, Ray and I think Craig.  Bruce is on them too, he Skyped in from his vacation to do it.

    How did Ash get the Necronomicon back?

    ^^ What DyD said - there'd have to be a reason for him to have a book that wouldn't involve him going back to the cabin (because it's strongly inferred that after he got back post-AOD he's never been back). But your spec dialogue's a lot of fun!

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    Bolded points responding again! Ugh, yeah, I agree.  Bruce said recently that there comes a point where he checks out of a production when he thinks the director's wrong (see also his comments about writers); I wouldn't be surprised if he engaged well with some directors and poorly with...

    Ash vs Evil Dead General Discussion Thread [NO SPOILERS]

    All right - with the season fully over, we'll be turning this General thread discussion into something a little different. Throw your "Ways the show could be improved" and episode comparison threads ideas in here. What did you like, what did you hate? Tell us here! When the show starts...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    THAT'S where I saw that before.  I knew I'd seen it somewhere but for the life of me I couldn't get it. Also I've had so many friends start the series and the nope out at the sex scene in the pilot.  Looking at the ratings I'm wondering if a lot of people did the same. I find it hard to...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    Replying to bolded segments specifically!  Ironically, that's another big chunk of what makes it annoying for me.  If the show keeps backtracking and having him make the same stupid decisions over and over again it's going to start getting ridiculously repetitive.  Let him be fate's fool...

    How did Ash get the Necronomicon back?

    It's actually not possible that he did, because if he took the Nec with him from the 1300s then it wouldn't be there in 198COUGH for Knowby to excavate from Kandar Castle.

    Ash Vs. Evil Dead DVD / BLURAY RELEASE DATE

    They should be releasing it right before the second season starts, which is the usual practice when it comes to season DVD stuff, to the best of my knowledge. Expect to see it released either in the summer or around October. It'll cost you an extra $9 a month on top of your Prime...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    @TOFB: I'm guessing tons of CGI or (if we're lucky) models and puppets. I wouldn't be surprised if Starz cut their budget this year because of the show's under-performance. ETA: will be starting a spin-off subject in the OT discussion thread at Kain's request about season 2 talk/overall...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    @Joe - I think it's possible he's feeling some regret, but he pretty much IMMEDIATELY realizes he's messed up big time once he starts hearing the radio reports and then does nada to fix the situation. When people are screaming at each other to stay indoors I do believe I'd say the evil's not...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    @Hurley - it's arguable that he's "thinking never" in terms of narrative, but that's the writers making the decision look worse instead of cool and badass. It's all starting to verge into 'they just didn't care' territory for me, which is weird because Bruce seems to care a lot.

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    So I just watched it and I've got conflicted emotions.  There's a bit of good horror in it, you genuinely feel awful for Pablo, Kelly steps it up as an Ash successor... ...But then Ash makes That Choice and while it would initially seem like an Ashlike thing to do, and it at least and plunges...

    Ash vs Evil Dead S01E10: The Dark One Discussion [SPOILERS]

    I think Dana's the weakest link among the regulars actingwise; she definitely has her moments but she wasn't very good at believably delivering the anger required of her. I believed Kelly in the pilot and her anger there, but her line readings keep coming out cardboard. Also was Kelly trying to...
