Actually Obama is guest starring on iZombie.

It's going to be a walk-in, he'll come up to Liv eating and be like THAT LOOKS GOOD, CAN I TRY SOME? and we'll all get a good laugh.
I thought that doctor actually sorta looks like him. But maybe my standards for identifying Obama have been lowered by countless political cartoons.

He had a very similar haircut and was graying the same way.

I don't understand how the murder victim's character wasn't the one being written out of Zombie High given that they were filming a scene where he was shot in the heart at point blank range. :confused:

I assume they would do the cliche "10% of people are born with the organs on the opposite sides of their body!" if it actually went that far.

Why do they film in Portland if it's supposed to be set in Seattle? I've never understood that.

I really like what they've done with Major personality wise.

Early on he seemed destined to be the boring, almost perfect former love archetype, like stupid Duncan Kane. Especially with that name. But the sense of humor they've given him has really made a difference. He's jokey and silly and it's a nice change of pace.

It's too bad he's completely and totally hosed.



Now on the other hand I hate the daughter/roommate. Not for anything in the show though, I can't stand her over acting. I'm sure it's supposed to be intentional because she's Du Clark's daughter, but she's no Steven Weber and doesn't pull it off.

It's really interesting, too, because you could see exactly where Duncan could have become a really interesting character in Veronica Mars. There's that episode where he stops taking his antidepressants, realizes just how hosed up his family really is, and then goes back on as a kind of denial, while VM keeps chasing the truth, but it's obvious that he could have become a force kinda similar to Major.

I like Gilda, she's a kind of pulpy femme fatale archetype but one who also seems a lot smarter than everyone around her.

Duncan could never be a good character because Teddy Dunn is an absolute poo poo actor and even he knew it which is why he's a lawyer now.

He also would have had to go up against Logan, and that was a fight he was basically never going to win. Or, indeed, anyone was ever going to win.

I don't think the show creators knew this even after the first episode. "Jason Dohring originally auditioned for Duncan and Teddy Dunn read for Logan. Throughout the show, to keep fans from confusing the two characters, the stars were color-coded. Seriously — Duncan always wore blue and Logan always wore earth tones."

Yea hahaha. Plot moved a ton tonight. The Kristen Bell "cameo" was amazing.

Poor Minor :(

Bouncer guy is totally going to get killed, just like Liv's last boyfriend. Blaine will probably be the one who kills him too, either directly or indirectly :v:

He's still technically "Cured" right now though so Peyton's probably fine.

Does anyone know the song playing at the end of the episode?
It really reminds me of the song from S1 of True Detective. To me it had the same feel to it.
