I assume most of what you'll see is Bruce Campbell trying to keep those extra 30 pounds from coming back.

Yeah, that's one of my two big fears... Bruce Campbell no longer able to pull off Ash. The other is an Evil Dead all PG'd down for basic cable.

Starz is similar to HBO and Showtime, isn't it?

Hrm... maybe-kinda. At least it's not like, TBS or FX or something.

I didn't even know this was actually happening. They've been talking about this for so long it was one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" things.
Hope it's actually good. *Crosses fingers*

FYI, Sparticus: Blood and Sand was a Starz original show, and that show had more boobs, blood and obscenity than GoT. Just to give you an idea of how not-toned-down it will be.

I feel like I would've been more interested in this 15-20 years ago.

Lol, for some strange reason, I read that as boobs, blood, and obesity.

I could try and find an animated .GIF for that, but I'm at work, so I'm not gonna.

Is it just me, or does Campbell look a little like Mitt Romney in that thumb?

His hair looks wrong.

It's not his real hair.

I guess I'm just used to Sam Axe hair.

The one in the poster looks like he didn't shampoo for 2 weeks then ran a hairbrush through it.

Well, I mean, he's fighting a horde of undead with a chainsarm, I imagine shampooing isn't his greatest priority...

I just finished Season 1 and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Ash is still the selfish, bone-headed, reluctant "hero" he always has been. (Okay, maybe not so much in the original Evil Dead, but that was more serious.) And since there's talk of Season 2,

I'm glad it looks like we'll get more Lucy Lawless! I love when Lucy and Bruce are together. And that last episode certainly amped up the gore, but it did feel on par with the Evil Dead films. Speaking of which, my only complaint is that I wish they made more references to Army of Darkness, though it was fun to see Ash-twin again.)

Did anyone else watch Season 2? I just finished it.

I thought the asylum part wasn't bad, very creepy and video game-ish. Meanwhile, I liked them referencing Army of Darkness and literally bringing back elements from the original Evil Dead movie. One thing bugged me, though: why did they go back to 1982 when the original movie was released in 1981?
