It's because the doll isn't CGI. They only used CGI to remove the rod.

I thought nothing would top the intro and then this happened.

I damn near fell off my chair I was laughing so much. The voice, the biting, everything about that fight was just incredible.

I can't wait for the gifs to start rolling in.

I just watched it for a second time, haha.

This is so rewatchable, just like the films. Incredible.

The season preview spoils a few things if you don't want to know any details about the future. Such as...

They are pretty much shown at the cabin, they say "all roads lead back home" and Ash says "I'm home". My guess is that this season ends with them at the cabin, and next season will be even more so based around that.

That was an amazing episode of television. I want to rewatch it instantly. I'm so happy this exists. Gifs need to start happening.

I was sitting here starting to do gifs but it's not working for me. I am using gifcam to capture from DishAnywhere and it's working and looks great, but when I go to edit the gif it captures, or even to view it, it only comes out as half the image. Maybe it's a thing for gifcam, maybe it's DishAnywhere, I don't know. Here is an example...

Just found out I can watch this via my parent's xFinity account on Starz Play. I still wished I went to this panel at Comic-Con instead of Archer. I'm ready for this.

Just watched it, oh hell YES

After all these years, I'd honestly be happy if that's all we were getting! But bring on the rest, even though my expectations of consistency are in check
 
Ah. Once again, Canadian television fails me.

Somewhat disappointed because I was hoping to watch it live while browsing and posting in this thread during commercials. I guess there's always next week and so forth.

There were not any commercials and it ran longer than 30 minutes!

I am really surprised people are praising the cgi here, I think they were pretty bad.
apart from the cgi and a few too forced jokes I think it was surprisingly good (I expected a desaster). it was funny and exciting with many good evil dead callbacks.
I just hope this isn't like the walking dead where only the first episode is good because it was done by a decent director.

Did I miss something? I thought it premiered tonight.

Apparently, it showed last night... I had my dvr set to record and when I doubled-checked everything this morning to make sure it would record, I noticed the first episode was recorded and waiting to be watched. It was pretty good.
 
I rarely rewatch TV so soon after watching but I had to watch it a second time. And then I watched the scene in Ash' trailer 2 more times after that. What a fantastic pilot. The show could turn to pure dogshit after this and it would have been worth it for that.

It's like I waited a thousand years for Raimi and Campbell to return to the franchise. Absolutely did not disappoint!

Hoping for more of the same quality from the following episodes, even though they're not with Raimi directing.
 
that was really fun for sure. good timing for halloween. a bit too much CGI but eh whatever, fun ass show.

raimi needs to make another horror film. post spiderman 2 it's the only tone he's hitting on at the moment.
 
Just watched it at a friend's house, kind of had an evil dead party. That absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. It kind of amazed me that my favorite scene didn't even involve Ash.
The scene with the two cops exploring and the deadite attaching them was like horror by Raimi 101. I was impressed he can still bring the goods like that. Also, since there are many mentions of the cgi. There are a couple of scenes I could have done without but I'm thankful for how many practical effects there were. Things like the head turning, bits of Lil Lori, and much of the blood/gore. The episode looked great.
This was the best thing Sam has done since Spiderman 2. I cannot wait for the rest of the season.

Fun show, but why is Ash so douchey and idiotic in this? He was way more likable and smart in the movies. :/

Lets give it another ep or two. He clearly already had some amount of character development near the end of this one, resuming his role as groovy boomstick master.

...give what an episode or two?

Bruce stepped back into the role and absolutely nailed what people love about the character. I'm sure he will have a humble or grounding moment during the duration of the series, but that isn't what people are coming for.
