How the gently caress? How long has this been around?

Seriously? Tivo's came out in the 90's.

Also, every cable company has a DVR box that usually costs a little bit more each month if you want that instead of the standard cable box.
I think most or all satellite boxes do the same thing too.

My only concern, and this is totally based on the way other shows have done this, but when you have a protagonist with a secret and a person investigating it, it's often terrible as the plotline stretches on and on. These investigation plotlines often go on way too long, and a competent investigator will ignore obvious facts or make mistakes in order to keep the tension unresolved and delay the final showdown, or coincidences or last minute rescues begin to pile up and wear on credibility.

I think Clive's been in a good place as far as an outsider goes, I think it's smart that he just accepts Liv's psychic explanation based on its success rate. He never asks questions about the details of her power and accepts her idiosyncrasies. Though it's never explicitly said, I bet if you asked the character he'd say "Well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth". So, as long as the investigation into the zombie mystery is done well and not artificially stretched, we should be fine. The show is tightly written and plotted so I have faith in the creators in this case. But how long did it take Timothy Omundsen's character to reveal the main character's psychic fraud in Psych?

Lassie always tried to call Shawn out as being a fraud but he never actually proved it.

Also, this show reminds me a lot of Psych in parts.

I wonder if Blaine's gonna tell one of his zombie cronies, "gently caress it, scratch me. I gotta kill a crime lord."

I've been under the impression that none of them knows he's cured, but I may be mistaken.

Also, whatever happened with Blaine's dad? That plot line just kind of petered out.

I think he was the unlucky one in the other cage that was romaro zombie already.
Also, did anyone else catch that the lab guy said "who wants to try cure #3?" There was one person in the other cage. Did cure #1 just straight up kill the first person they tried it on? Then cure #2 didn't kill the subject but cause him to become a romaro zombie?

100% forgot about the whole bit with Blaine having his dad tortured that episode ended on.
