This show is always surprisingly good and charming considering the premise is nothing special. The actors (especially Rahul Kohli) really help sell it, I think.

It was the same with Veronica Mars, I remember thinking that the premise sounded super lame, and I didn't give it a try until Joss Whedon called it the best show on tv.

So were we supposed to take from the zombie hooker bit that Blaine was running a zombie sex slavery ring on the side, or is there some other guy out there that they somehow don't know about?

It was Blaine. Blaine understands vice. Most of his rich clients weren't willing to become celibate, and don't want to turn their wives, mistresses, or girlfriends into zombies. Blaine to the rescue with high class zombie hookers. An elegant solution from his point of view.

Unfortunately zombie prostitutes aren't able to make a living their usual way, and her new 'clients' probably resent her and treat her poorly because she works for Blaine. It's possible Blaine just didn't think things through and didn't realize that he was removing 100% of her income and she would eventually run out of money and lose her house. He probably just didn't care though. In our society prostitutes are considered disposable.

I'm glad the producers/directors trust the audience enough to let subtlety like that Ravi smile stand on its own instead of adding lines or shooting it as the focus.

Zombie Hooker's is almost certainly part of Blaine's organization, but I'm sure Blaine is pretty hands off with the whole operation. Him not paying her isn't some carelessness on his part, he's too busy running the funeral home and trying to find a cure and harrassing Liv.

Man, that Major and the Zombie Hooker plot was such a downer. A really lowkey and human way of looking at the cost of becoming a zombie.

And the cure being temporary was such a gutpunch. Major :ohdear:

did babianeaux ending their partnership seem abrupt to anyone else? like, the reasoning was solid but the conversation seemed real short and going straight from that into 'oh, liv and major have to break up and oh, the cure they thought was good was only temporary' gave it no real time to dwell on
I think all that coming so fast was to give a better sense of Liv's whole world falling apart all at once.

Binge watched the entire show in probably three days and it's now a permanent part of the lineup. It's kind of been falling apart a little this season but at least the silly has been endearing. Plus, Liv's actress is on the same level as the guy who played Michael Weston in Burn Notice as far as "actor of a thousand faces" goes.

I want more badass zombie Liv though. She's not a monster! Stop discriminating against Zombie-Americans!

I think it was just supposed to be a "time passes" thing. Showing that there was a case between them breaking up and getting back together so it doesn't look like it was just cliffhanger drama.

Yes, they did. Another hobo had been seen with a roll of cash. Then Liv passes a note and the detective tells him they have a witness that saw him at a bar across the street. Which may have been a lie, but if Liv/Santa saw him leave that bar there will probably be witnesses that can place him there. The implication was that the crime was solved and it was the hobo that did it. Simple robbery gone bad.

I thought it was pretty clever actually. They basically made a mini episode to show that time was still passing and stuff kept happening.

I think the flash was genuine, it was kind of neat to see it happen from an outsider's viewpoint.

Also holy poo poo that entire episode. I was losing it during the final interrogation, and it just got worse when she took out the glasses, put them on, and then took them off again. :xd:
