-Just from the brief glimpses of footage, i can already tell there's going to be more to her character this season then there was in season 1, we only got about two episodes worth of her character and backstory and  it still wasn't enough for me to say she was a real character, the reason i'm happy with the direction there taking with the character is that there not making her into this all powerful villian just yet and there fleshing her out more by letting her interact and team up with the main group while also dealing with her own problems with baal, i really don't want speculate her backstory to death because were probably going to learn a lot more about her then what was given in s1, that's just my two cents on it, in summary i think we should wait and see what they do with her character for s2 cause s1 isn't quite the fair judge of character cause of how bare bone's it was in general. 

- Honestly at this point with the post sweetening which in my honest opinion isn't that big of a issue or deal, it's evil dead it's supposed to look ridiculous and cheap (granted s1 cgi was abit much but s2 sweetening looks a lot better in comparison)  that's why it doesn't bother me to see it, yes it is false advertising but you also have to take into fact that there on set looking and dealing with these practical effects for weeks on end so some of that enthusiasm/disdain  is gonna carry over to the press tour regardless if they even seen the final cut or not.


Actually it's been confirmed it's the first two episodes "Home and Morgue"

Here's a still from the delta episode of ash and a very passed out chet.

Eh, respectfully agree to disagree on both points!

I already have a feeling i'm going to like Ted's character better than anyone else's this season.

i don't think that's her, that could be brock's date as episode 2 described

Love the ashy slashy rhyme, going to be pretty creepy when one of the deadites start cackling it towards ash, i love the fact that they are turning the deadites and creatures up to 11 this season. 

Will be back later with a full breakdown as there is a lot of stuff to dissect from this video !

RE: Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 General Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

Alright, I'm calling it right now... Lacey will be revealed to be Ash's daughter. When he went to the cabin with the original Linda we all know and love, he didn't know Linda B was pregnant with his child. I know, I know... Total nut job theory. Still, the more I think about it, the more probable it sounds. The thought came to me while looking at her character description in the video and I felt like throwing it out there. I'm probably wrong, though. But if turns out I'm right, just remember that you heard it here first. 

Also, I think it's odd that Ruby is the only other character that doesn't have a last name in her description. Are they downplaying the fact she's a Knowby? Cause that's one of the aspects of her character that was completely botched during Season 1. They never explained exactly who or what she is and if wasn't for a brief scene of Pablo mentioning her name (if I remember correctly), no one would even know she's a Knowby. Then she starts talking about how she actually wrote the book herself and everything started to get even more confusing. Is she truly the daughter of Prof. Knowby or is she a demon using her identity? Is she actually a Dark One? Is she Ruby Knowby possessed by a Demon/Dark One? Since Prof. Knowby will apparently play a part in Season 2, maybe they will finally shed some light on that. Hopefully.

Actually they said  at comic con that the knowby name was just a front for her to get close to ash and his group, she's not actually a knowby and is a dark one. 

that theory could be a strong possibility and if that were to be the case it would add a new layer to him and linda b's storyline, overall most of the stuff i've read from this video were going to be in store for a lot interesting stuff this season !

Some Things to Note

Baal has a abilty in his arsenal that skins people alive and all that is left of them is a "Meat Body" 

Ruby and Kelly team-up arc has the potential to be very awesome, looking forward to it.

Oh, alright. That reeks of afterthought, though. Only goes to show how much they had no idea what to do with her character and how much they kept drastically changing her during season 1. At least now they seem to have decided on a path for her. Better to have that as an explanation than nothing, even if it makes her character a lot less interesting IMO. I still hope they address it properly in Season 2.

that theory could be a strong possibility and if that were to be the case it would add a new layer to him and linda b storyline, overall most of the stuff i've read from this video were going to be in store for a lot interesting stuff this season !

The more I think about what could be the purpose of Lacey's character on the show and that they felt the need to mention that she's "20 something" in her description, the more I think it could actually turn out to be true. Given Ash's "fame" in his hometown and what happened to all the people involved, Linda B certainly has reason to have kept the truth from him (and Lacey) all of these years. If it does turn out to be true, I still don't know what to think of it. On one hand, it could certainly add to the development of Ash as a character and to the family/parenthood themes this season seems to be focused on. On the other hand, it could be botched and turned into a boring, cliche-ridden cringefest very easily. It could also potentially change the perception we have of the relationship he had with movie Linda (and that's already kinda screwed up on this show). It's kinda predictable, too. I mean, just look how easily I thought of that theory. All I needed was a vague character description. In the end, it will all come down to the execution. This "twist" needs to be handled very carefully and it needs to be more than just a twist.

LOL, here I am going in depth about something that could potentially never even come to be.

Well the main reason ruby's character was so half assed was because of lucy coming in late into the season and that's been confirmed as one of the main problems in the commentary tracks of the blu-ray. So hopefully they really smooth out the edges with her character this season. 

the Lacey theory is very interesting as they could go multiple routes with it like you said, 

That was the same problem i was having last year doing in-depth and i just ended up wore out by end of the season , my gameplan for this year is just sticking with short predictions/theories for this year and just go with the flow of the story for this season.

I'm aware of that, but as much as that explains a lot of the problems with the character development, it really can't be used as an excuse for conceptual inconsistency. That's completely on the showrunner and the writers, not on Lucy's schedule. Ruby felt like a different character in every episode she was in and even in the final episodes it really seemed they had no idea who her character was supposed to be. It got terribly confusing and it quickly turned her character into a mess. But yeah, I agree that it seems that now they figured out what to do with her. I still think having her as Knowby's daughter was a lot more interesting than her being a Dark One, but oh well... Let's see what they do with it.

RE: Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 General Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

Here's two new interviews with bruce.

Last season you were hitting the walls and floor and ceiling pretty hard. They were throwing you around quite a bit. And there are some scenes were it looks like it couldn't be anyone but you. Where's your stuntman for all of this?

Bruce Campbell: Make no mistake. I have a very busy stunt guy named Raicho Vasilev. He is from Bulgaria. I met him during The Man With the Screaming Brain. He is a very busy, very good stunt guy. But, you know, I have kept pretty physical over the years. And I do more than the average actor. Look, I'm not going throw myself down the stairs. Breaking your neck is gong to stop the show. That is the mantra. Don't do anything that is going to stop the show. But, you know, we had to do a sequence where...It was a whole sequence with a car, that is causing all kinds of problems. It requires Ash to be hit by the car. I thought, 'This sequence is going to be a lot better if it's just me.' So we let it hit me. So we did stuff like that this season, much to my dismay. After I did it, I realized it was a bad idea. But it will make for a fun shot.

[font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana,][font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana,]One thing I really love about the show is the deepening of Ash’s character, particularly seen through his relationships with Kelly and Pablo and the Jacksonville backstory. How do you as an actor find getting to explore these, I guess, new shades to a character you’ve played for so long?
[/font][/font]
[font=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana,]Well, you gotta have someone to talk to. Ash can’t run around in a cabin by himself talking to his hand. So I’m very glad to have all those characters to bounce ideas off of. And we’ve found what I feel are a great group of actors. Dana DeLorenzo and Ray Santiago, they really prove their mettle and they’re evolving into full characters. You’ll see in Season Two it’s a whole new ball game for them; Pablo’s gonna go on a great journey this season, Kelly will start evolving into something a little bit bigger than just a bitter victim and Ash will become more aligned with his true destiny, which is to save the world at whatever cost. So a lot of fun stuff in season two; there are a lot of ‘holy shit’ moments, a lot of Easter eggs, very substantial Easter eggs, there are a lot of nods to the fans. It’s a very fan friendly season coming up.[/font]

I wouldn't be surprised if your hunch pans out, DYD.  But also note that she's the clear go-between for Pablo and Kelly this season  

Spoiler

which kinda screams dead duck to me.   I wonder if her father sacrifices her to Baal to get some kind of power to defeat Ash.

That also compresses the timeline super hard.  If Ash broke up with Linda B (Ho ho my sides) when they graduated highschool, then his relationship was what, a year old when he and Linda went to the cabin?

See, there's so much missed potential in that one -why not have Ruby be possessed by an old one and have them try to exorcise her (since that now works without mutilation, thank you Kelly).

I have a feeling the endgame is going to be 

Spoiler

The citizens of Elk Grove rising up against Baal's skinless army, with possibly the sheriff as Baal's second in command.

 Which could be fun.

See, then you compare their insistence that the first season had so many problems because of their lousy timing with Bruce insisting that he really wanted Lucy from the very beginning.  Makes no sense at all.

RE those interviews: I'm amused that Bruce flat-out said no more Sam-directed episodes.  That's kind of bad news.

Also interesting that he's talking season 3 when we still don't have an announcement.  And once again he backs down on what Fede's suggested.   Rinse, wash and repeat.
