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!

Apparently CW programming decided that viewers don't care about the State of the Union addresses as this is back tonight.

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.

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:

The air conditioner scene was possibly the greatest two minutes in all of television. It surpassed even "time to punch out" from the State for zen-like perfection of comedy.

Just replace the whole of televised entertainment with Ravi mugging at this point, it's probably as close as we're going to never going downhill from here.

I really hope they don't go full on zombie apocalypse with this show, because the tone it's set so far is the reason I love it, but I'm nnnnnnot really seeing any way the lid doesn't come right off this thing really soon.

Then I hope they can find a new and fresh spin on the "I was trying to protect you" "well you don't do that by lying to me" thing that every show like this seems to have. I have faith that they can.

Yeah, also part of it for me was the way the brains look in those promos.

I mean I got over it because it's obviously done as a style choice, but every time I'd think about watching the show I'd see those brains and just move on. Then I was just super bored one night and was like "gently caress it, I'll give it a shot" and found myself amused by it.

Yeah, the ad campaign for that stuff is bad. It's like "hey everyone it's a sexy mean zombie" which is pretty much the furthest from the theme of the show they could get.

That was good. I have high hopes that they will find a way to make the new situation work without totally changing the show. Honestly it's nice to see them shake things up like this, too many good shows get onto a treadmill with the same characters loving with each other in the same ways year after year. Maybe Ravi will go to work for Filmore Graves, since they have that great Max Rager lab full of records of a bunch of unethical zombie research he would never have done on his own.

I get the feeling Filmore couldn't give the least little poo poo about a cure and see having the Zombie as a positive thing.

Also I like to think Filmore Graves is what Filmore Coffers changed his name to at the end of Captain Sternn.

I do love how Blaine's business plan was written to be both brilliant (get all the rich and powerful people addicted to a drug only you control, take over the city!) and unbelievably stupid (the rich and powerful will do aaaaaanything to destroy someone who has them under their thumbs, up to and including a suicide mission). It's exactly the kind of plan a low-level drug dealer would come up with: just give everyone drugs and then they'll have to buy from me! :smuggo:

Blaine's thing is pretty much playing both sides while keeping his head down. If they started planning a suicide mission, he'd just find someone else (i.e. the feds) to leak selected info to.

Ken Marino is a treasure and I hope he's an oft recurring character in Season 3.

As far as I'm concerned he can dip his balls in any show on television. Let's get him on Agents of SHIELD, Supergirl, even Legends of Tomorrow. He doesn't even have to do anything, just show up and be Ken Marino (which is pretty much his entire career actually).

Not Arrow, though. That'd just be mean.

This woman was born to be a hot blonde. If Kaley Cuoco. went on some sort of pay-strike over at The Big Bang Theory, they could replace her w/ Aly Michalka w/out there even being a protest once she bent over once or wore a halter top.

Looks like they're not going with a full on zombie apocalypse, which I'm thankful for

I'm really glad for that. This show is at its best thumbing its nose at dumb zombie movie tropes while still keeping the overall aesthetic and feel. I'm here for the quirky zombies-next-door, the instant this slides into Walking Dead Except Jokes then I'm out.

The brain paste is weird. How did the conspiracy nut neighbour know the residue in the tubes was brain? Much less human brain. It should just be unknown pate, right? The zombies still eat regular food too, so it isn't like mysterious no name goo tubes were the only food in the trash.

If you know your neighbours work for blackwater filmore graves going through the trash looking for something incriminating might make sense to a conspiracy nut, but focusing in on food waste is still an odd thing to do unprompted.

here's a better question where are the brains coming from

I will never get tired of dancing Liv and her little socks dance when her boyfriend ate gay brains is possibly the cutest she's ever been in this show.

Also, did anyone notice McIver changed her stance and projection to reflect the yoga brain she had just eaten? It's a little thing, and I'm sure all actors do it, but she looked completely different just walking around and interacting with people without actually changing her appearance.
