You and me both. William Shatner is cool and all, but that would've been a joke for joke's sake. Lee Majors can actually bring something to the role other than a funny persona and seems much more at home in the ED world than Shatner would ever be.


I think the resemblance between Lee Majors and Bruce Campbell is uncanny, and the man really could be his dad so much so that someone should interview Bruce's family. I'm just kidding about that one, haha.

Am I the only one bothered by this season's apparent focus on crude sexual/bathroom humor? The fact that they keep acting as if this has been a staple of the ED series so far when that clearly isn't the case is also pretty annoying. All of the instances of gross humor to be found on the films were always based on absurd violence and cartoony gore with a layer of silly Three Stooges antics over it. That's actually very different in style from the stuff they're teasing. It was never about accidentally having sex with deadites or getting your head shoved up a corpse's ass. Insisting on that as a "feature" of season 2 is making me think that once again they're completely missing the point in terms of writing style and just turned to offering us a lot of gross stuff without the usual great filmmaking to back it up.

Also, the casting of Lee Majors as Ash's dad was a stroke of genius. Unfortunately, everything I've seen of him on these teasers doesn't do much to make me confident they'll do it justice when it comes to character portrayal. To me, it's already starting to look more and more like just another missed opportunity in a show that's already full of them.

Sigh... Here I go again negatively overanalyzing this thing. I try to stay positive. I wanna stay positive. I really do, I swear.

You're not, the writers seem to have this preoccupation with drinking and drug use too, which I've brought up before. I'm not sure who they're trying to appeal to with that. I like to get baked before I re-watch the movies, true enough, but that doesn't mean I need to see Ash behave in a similar manner. It's like the harder they try to be "cool", the less it works, for me anyway.

   Been checking out the latest pictures, and listening to the interviews (or reading them) and those have kind of made me give up on the idea that we'll get any quality solo Ash time. It makes sense that they're trying to focus more on Ash as he relates to other people in a TV show where Bruce has a number of co-stars, I get that. I just feel very strongly that those 'Ash by himself being tormented' moments are a lot of what Evil Dead is all about, I mean we get a decent chunk of that in all 3 films, I just wish the show would make a little time for that kind of stuff. As it is they've promised to flesh out the rest of the cast (especially Pablo and Kelly), so that will be cool if they follow through. I suppose I like them both, but I still don't feel like I know them enough to care properly about their respective fates. I guess my point is that the focus of the show has shifted to allow for a regular cast, but at the expense of one of my favorite elements of the movies. Anyway, despite all this complaining I will be watching; I think I'll adjust my expectations and see where they go with this, I may not like the look of it so far, but I'm certainly willing to reserve judgement until I've watched it.

I know. That is what the caption said, and you caught me as I was editing my post because I thought the panel already went down... but saw another post that they are airing episode 1 about now. They also got Lee Majors and Bruce with it with the bright lights.

I couldn't find a stream either, but I'm sure it will end up on the tubes at some point. A comment like this on Twitter makes me want to see the look on Ray's face as he talks about this sort of thing.
