When I searched TE for this show, I got a bunch of articles from Feedproxy and Dreadcentral. I'm pretty sure there have been threads here about it, weren't there?? I guess I could be remembering stuff from the shout box. Anyway, Box, if you want to attach this post to any pre-existing thread about the show that you can find, that's fine by me.
I just wanted to call attention to a great moment in the show: when Ash meets his daughter Brandy, in the first episode of season 3, called "Family." Within just a couple of minutes, his poor daughter has to deal with meeting him (which is a lot to deal with), and also seeing both her mom and her best friend brutally slain by Deadites. Well, Ash sort of kills her best friend, but the friend was already possessed/killed by a Deadite, so... but, whatever, I just wanted to call attention to the way Ash introduces himself to her. Just think about it for a minute. He's MEETING HIS DAUGHTER for the first time ever, having had no idea she even existed until this episode. MEETING HIS DAUGHTER. So, how does he introduce himself? Does he invite her and her mom out to a nice restaurant, to get acquainted in a civilized manner? NO. He says to her, "I'm your Pop. Father dearest. The old sperm shooter." Yes, that's right, that's exactly what he says to his daughter, he calls himself "the old sperm shooter." Then he says "But you can call me Dad! Unless you're a Deadite... then, you can go fuck yourself. So come on now, Demon Spawn! Show Daddy what you got!" as he brandishes his chainsaw. That's just such an absolutely priceless moment. I fucking loved this show. If I ever meet a daughter I never knew I had, I hope I remember to say exactly what Ash says. God bless him... what a truly great man. Here, you can see him say it at about 19:00 in this clip:
