Ash vs Evil Dead: Home Again (2016)
Season 2, Episode 9
10/10
This Is Not Original, But Something We Can Enjoy Most...
1 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This series represents the evil things called "memory" (so that you won't move on), or "bad friends and habits" (the activities in the cabin will hunt Ash until his death), or "idle searches for selfish reasons" (like the professor, going after the book) that keep us busy in life away from appreciating "real beauties."

And it does it well in this episode. You.Are.Stuck.In.Past!..

In this episode, Ash and his "entourage" go back in time to change the reality as Ash wants Pablo to be "resurrected" in a way. But make no mistake, the Necronomicon may have given the idea to Ash in the first place while it has gone back to 1982 before Ash have a say in matters.

Yes, it may seem lazy writing, maybe it is to some extent. But the reason we fell in love with the movies of "Ash" is the crazy stuff happened in "the cabin" in this episode and they have done a very good job to remind us of that fun we had.

Yes, one might reply with an answer stating how the series could have yet explored new possibilities for the show in originality. We say to that; we have seen "Baal"s and such original turns in the show, but we do not like that taste very much.

Therefore, this "back-in-time" execution is only a two-episode-kind of an option for the show. We mean, it was real good and there is a feeling (and a strong hope / request) that they are going to explore some new dimensions in the third season.

Keep the good music, you gentlemen! (Thou: Ivan Raimi, Sam Raimi, Tom Spezialy)

I give the episode a "9,1". Wow.

"Naught is the life of the world save a pastime and a spot. Better far is the abode of the Hereafter for those who keep their duty (to Allah). Will ye then not understand?" says the Gracious Koran (the 32th Verse in the Chapter of "Cattle")
