With the show ending tomorrow and my excitement/dread at an all time high, I wanted to keep it light. Unfortunately, I showed up to the board quite a bit late and missed out most of the past discussions so I wanted to share a few moments that I really enjoyed and I would like to hear yours. I know seasons 1 and 2 weren’t quite what some fans were looking for and not up to the standard of season 3, but for me there’s a place for both season 1 and 3. Especially moving forward into an uncertain future, I’m very pleased to have 30 episodes to fall back on in addition to the movies I’ve seen countless times.

One scene that really stuck out for me was Ash’s death. It was such a close and intimate moment between Ash and his sidekick, even if it was technically assisted suicide. It was disturbing to watch our undefeated hero die.

Going all the way back to episode 1 and not featuring any of our main characters, the scene with Amanda and her partner was thrilling. The lights and rotation, and his line “ I need you.....to die” was all great suspense.

And to round it out with season 2, here’s a minor, easy to miss moment but it’s pure Evil Dead to me. Episode 1 in Jacksonville when Ash removes the arms from the female deadite followed by her head, the bodytries to regain balance and eventually slips in the puddle of blood. Subtlety combined with absurdity, I laughed my ass off.

Obviously there are a ton of great moments, but these stuck out to me right away
 
Excellent thread idea Surtur, gonna sticky this thread at the top. Perfect time for a thread like this since were almost nearing the end, good as time as any to have a look back for all three seasons and discuss some of the more memorable scenes from each season !

Gosh i really don't know my picks yet as i have a lot of favorites, i'm gonna have to sit and think on this before i can gather myself for this type of discussion but i'll name out some from all three seasons. (Mostly from s1 and s3)

Season 1 Just off the top of my head i have plenty more. a re-watch is probably needed after the s3 finale
The birth of the Ghostbeaters name and team

Kelly's deli slicer scene and ash plus pablo's reaction afterwards were priceless.

Ash and Pablo scene in the delta with his deadite boss from value stop. (the story behind how this scene was done is just priceless on the commentary track.)

Pablo obtaining his necklace and burning of his uncle Tio (The score in this scene is amazing)

The scenes building up Kelly and Pablo's relationship.

The entire fight scene at the end of episode 1

Ash and Evil Ash's fight in the cabin

Ash and Linda Confrontation in the workshed

Ash's fight with the demon child in the basement.

Ash and Necro Pablo's fight in the cellar.

Amanda and Evil Ash's build up and fight (Bruce was just downright frightening in this scene)

Pablo and Kelly's talk in the air stream. (Reason this is on here is due to the foreshadowing it has going forward with kelly's journey.)

The setup scene with ash suggesting they go back to cabin in episode 6 to the ending scene of Episode 7 with ash's hand going to the cabin and then the intro for episode 8 with ash returning to the cabin after so long was very tense to watch as a fan. (Plus looking at the cabin re-creation for the first time was a experience as well that i soon won't forget.)

Season 2 While i enjoyed s2 for the most part, it's probably going to be my least favorite season of the three sadly, it still has it's moments though but i feel like this season is going to be the least memorable of the two from my perspective.
The whole opening bar fight sequence in episode 1

All of cheryl's scenes

Ash's fight with the delta (I still can't believe Bruce decided to get ran over for this scene)

Pablo and Kelly's scenes together (They were on the back burner for this season sadly for craig's uncompleted quest to make kelly ash's daughter. Though the scenes they did have together, you could tell they were a lot closer and you could sense some tension there between the two when they both had the chance to interact. )

Kelly's fight with the puppet

Ash's scene with linda b at the end of EP7 and his conversation with baal afterwards.

The Fight scenes with Henrietta

Fist fight and chainsaw duel with Baal and Ash (I still remember marking out to northern lights suplex ash did to baal, looks like those years of watching wrestling came in handy for that particular moment)

Season 3 (i think i'm gonna wait to fully list out my favorite moments from s3 until after the finale or some time after that as there was a lot of memorable stuff from this season. I'll list out several for the time being but stay tuned !)
Mostly all of the scenes with Brandy and Ash

Ash's breakdown at the end of episode 7

Kelly's emotional scene with pablo and the ship sailing moment that followed afterwards.

Ash,Pablo and Zoe fight with the mini boss demon in the cellar.

Ash's fight with the vines in the cellar

Ash and Pablo's fight in the school with the mascot and Deadite Rachel in the music room

The Casket Sequence with Ash and Deadite Candy

The crimson and clover sequence from episode 3

Pablo's hardware store fight

Ruby and Kelly's fight

Ghost Brock and Ash's scenes together.
 
@Joem1k quite a list there!

I would like to also add Dalton’s TWO noble deaths, it was nice to see a character go out on their terms, totally defiant of evil until the end. I’m glad he shot himself instead of going full Deadite and attacking the GB
 
There was also several other scenes from S1 that when i was watching for the first time week by week it was quite the experience being a long time fan, it was started with the setup from episode 6 to the ending to episode 7 and then the intro to episode 8.

Seeing ash's hand walking up to the cabin with the clock going in the background was very bone-chilling and then the intro with ash walking back up to the cabin as well after all these years was very rewarding to watch as a fan.

Plus seeing that whole recreated cabin set for the first time was fucking amazing, they did a fantastic job bringing the cabin back to life with every little detail taken into account as well. Those guys should've gotten a award for it, it was that damn good.
 
That was ultimate fan service in season 1 and it worked well. Ash finding Linda’s head, the cabin fighting Kelly, Amanda’s Death. I feel like I may go into a spontaneous binge of the show after watching the finale tonight.
 
My favorite scene in the show was when Ash found Chet in Cheryl's room as we get the force perspective shot which breaks the windows and smashes the picture which bleeds causing the blood to run over to her dress. After that Cheryl comes out of her room asking "Where is dad?" followed by her asking Ash what happened to which he answers "pancakes." It was just the right amount of levity before Ash and Cheryl battle it out for the last time, and the whole thing was heart wrenching in more ways than one.
 
The box projection montage in the pilot.

Ash reaching out for the marker on Cheryl's bedroom door ; and the "pancakes" scene Nick mentions above.

Ash giving Brandy Linda's necklace.
