Wait why am I complaining that anEvil DeadTV show isnt being sensitive enough?
When didEvil Deadever have a code of morals, or respect its characters for that matter?
When did it ever take time to show grief or normal human reactions?
Nothing tops tree rape.
Its no shock to anyone thatAsh vs Evil Deadisnt what youd call a feminist show.
And now, we have Heather…ugh.
Shes not so much of a character as she is a pet.
Come on,Ash vs Evil Dead.
I know youre made for the dude demographic and everything, but damn.
Lets be a little bit less offensive when youre trying to offend us, okay?!
Hey, remember that time a week ago when I said that Evil Ash was the big bad?
He gets taken out before the intro credits even begin to roll in this episode.
Thanks,Ash vs Evil Dead.
You truly are an unpredictable show, and I mean that in a (mostly) flattering way.
Okay, so maybe you come across as shallow most of the time, but I get it.
I havent seen the finale yet, so I dont know what youve got hiding up your sleeve.
Heres a pile of genres; by all means, bend away.
I think that might help out the most.
Is Pablo a sweet and loveable nerd or is he the teenage heartthrob that gets all the girls?
Is Kelly an aggressive empowered female or a prickly sex object?
(Theres a mental image for you.
The angle seems to change week-to-week, does it not?
Despite the premature loss of his evil twin, Bound in Flesh still waters this seed.
Without it, hed be just another stock boy in a mediocre department store somewhere in the midwest.
Does he really want this all to end?
But are we going to do anything worthwhile with that,Ash vs Evil Dead?
Now this scene, folks, is quintessentialEvil Dead.
Its shocking, visceral and sickly funny.
Its silly and childish and brutal and disgusting.
It provokes a reaction out of you.
They cant just be friends or anything.
Oh, plus to add to that body count thing too, Im assuming.
So far, shes just your average ordinary sacrificial blonde girl seen in most horror films of the 1980s.
Thankfully, its just as cool as I thought it would be.
Is this really the second-to-last episode of the season?
We need more time to bask in the glory of watching these two legendary cult icons roast each other.
Its time to get down to business.
Hell, evenwestop and wonder if he will or not.
Hes capable of sharing power with a woman in a symbolic act.
Hes really not so bad after all.
We could tell Ash had a bad feeling about all of this, couldnt we?
He steps in to stop Ruby, asking her if she knows what shes doing.
Of course I know what Im doing, she says.
I wrote this book.
Now that its back in familiar territory (i.e.
Cross your fingers after you pick them up off the floor.
First Evil Ash, then the hikers… Plus, all that gore too.
Heathers fractured leg, the bloody puppeteering…sheesh.
Say, you feel like going out for Italian later?
Pablo and Kelly act like hardcore fans whove watchedDead by Dawntoo many times.
I guess Ash probably had time to tell them everything while they were cruising around, yeah?
So Ruby reallydoeshave the hots for Fisher.
I thought she might have been seducing Fisher during their scene together back in The Host.
Is this a clever reference to Xena/Gabrielle?
The atmosphere is menacing and brutally dangerous, and the snappy jokes juxtapose that dread quite well.
THE NOT SO GROOVY
I apologize for the delay in this review, folks!
The holiday weekend had me all over the place (in a good way, of course.)
I hope you and yours had good time yourself.
Is a rip in time and space that sucks our heroes into another dimension too much to ask for?
God, I hope not.
