It's good to have a sense of scale.



I started this the other night and I guess I picked a real good time to pick it up since it's coming back next month. That rules.

I'm on ep 5 and I felt compelled to come post "bowls of spaghetti are my porn." I've been happy with every ep so far but I have to ask, do they stop namedropping IG/FB/what have you so much? I get it you're all on social media.

I also spotted myself unloading a truck in the background, so that was a loving trip. Seattle indeed.

e- I should have finished the episode! that line was important! Dang I like this show.

Holy poo poo I missed the pottery wheel line! I'm just catching up on this week's ep... dang Peyton. I also really enjoyed Ravi not knowing anyone's phone number, followed by his couch-dive. That was wonderful.

Also! Learning that skookum is a real word that actually does mean "good, solid" and not something AvE made up. Mind soaked in blue juice and blended w/ ice, lime and tequila.

e- ^^^ I had to stop and get my roommate to watch that scene with me. That's the first time I'D EVER seen that fact acknowledged in any way on television.

I had to pause and laugh for four or five things this ep, and I still missed the lightbulb. This loving show! It turns out every zombie media thing ever mostly sucked because they took the whole thing seriously. Just take the stupid concept that it is and run with it, then you get iZombie and Z-Nation. :allears:

Also someone totally called Shauna(?) blogging the poo poo out of all her interactions with Major. She's definitely behind the shirts.

The Threeway Flashback was great, the puns were great and the Rachel twist legit got me. I think iZ may have absorbed all the fun out of the Flash's writer's room, like what Futurama did to The Simpsons. Creative Cannibalism, if you will :haw:

I know what you're saying, but iZombie's production crew is entirely unrelated to the Berlanti superhero crowd. Rob Thomas's posse of writers have basically stuck with him through every project he's worked on, from Veronica Mars, through Party Down, to Cupid, to here. I assume they'll also be working on the Misfits remake as well.

The Flash seems to have had a largely stable writers room since its inception, though it also seems to have a fair handful of single script commissions (about four a year, which makes me think it's contractual). If the show sucks, it's because the people writing the show suck, and not because they've been vacuumed away by another show (or even another superhero show).

I knew none of this and simply imagined Rob Thomas bringing the iZ writer's room a bunch of smoothies and being really evasive about where they're from. All I know is my interest waned in the Flash about the same time I discovered iZ and they're both CW shows. That is pretty interesting to know, though. I really don't have any idea how TV shows get written/made.

Side note: is Misfits worth watching through? Or should I wait for this remake you speak of? I never caught it when it was on.

I liked the George Dubya 9/11 reference in the classroom

I laughed really hard then felt really bad about laughing. I think it evened out. Otherwise I thought this was one of the best finales I've ever seen on television - proper cliffhanger, a wide open door of writing possibilities for the next season, and if there happened to never be another season I'd still be a satisfied with that as an ending.
