Well, yes, but the whole concept of the episode is that it takes place in Ash's mind as Baal tries to manipulate him. Ash
succumbs to Baal's will at the end, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's gone insane

Agree, one of the best episodes of the franchise. Funny when it needs to be but the overall tone was very serious, perhaps the first truly serious thing in the entire saga.
Even Bruce showed a performance like I have never seen before, believable and real not B acting by any stretch.
I think the way he played it is one of the most jarring thing because it feels real and natural.
Also plays of the old time speculation about whether any of its real. -

I wouldn't say it was God awful, but I was disappointed by it. We all know it was in Ash's head, and that Baal was pulling the strings. Thus, there was no dramatic tension. Any idiot could see where it was going from the first minute. It was funny, but that is all I can say about the episode. I guess the puppet was the real stand out element.
The episode was the low point for the series to me. It is sad because I have liked this season better than the last. -

I really liked the episode! spoilers
Glad to see an episode with no switching back and forward and keeping the main focus on Bruce. People tend to forget he is not just some hammy actor, but has such a wide range of emotions and can articulate physical and mental pain like no other.
This was Bruce's episode to shine! And even though we know it's a set-up, there where so much nice little surprises in this one. I loved the hallway hallucinations with the rotating wall and with Ash's arm stuck in it. There where moments of intense gruesome gore just once not played for laughs which gave the series its well needed seriousness kicked in. (dont get me wrong I love the humor aspect, but its a fine balance and in most episodes this season theres comic relief a little too fast and always around the corner)
I loved the atmosphere and look and feel and yes even that glimpse of Chet 'alive' in his nightmare was great, Ted rules. Handpuppet Ash was awesome and groovy, Bruce played it soo good! I want one of those
I give this episode 4.5/5 -

It was dull and predictable. That is all there is to it. Everything that happened was in Ash's head. HE LITERALLY SAID IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE. To anyone with a brain, when the
"
destroy the book
"
line was said, it should have clued them in to baal's desire for Ash to kill Pablo, who is one with the book now. Since Baal wants to destroy Ash's ego, he would obviously make him kill Pablo and Kelly in his head. Baal wants Ash as HIS puppet. So he has to destroy Ash's support system, ergo, Pablo and Kelly. Everything about the episode and how it played out was spelled out from the first minute of the episode. They didn't even try to shake it up.
Please don't praise lazy writing and directing. 2/5
