Man, this week's episode seemed designed to just kick the story forward. The one thing I thought kind of dumb is how Liv and her smuggling crew don't just take the person's pulse?

There's really no reason for him to be this competent either. He fell rear end backwards into the job of protecting zombie-kind, when his only prior notable accomplishment prior to that was... raiding and massacring a butchershop of zombies.

Hey now, he was also the Chaos Killer. Honestly I'm surprised that isn't brought up either because the general population hated him even though he was never charged or whatever. So Seattle must really loved the alleged serial killer who now runs a paramilitary zombie force that controls the city

Oh poo poo, the return of Liv's family. And now I remember why they dropped them completely because they are horrible. Oh poo poo, the dad reveal.

Kind of an odd coincidence that Liv's dad is the bad guy but whatever.

"Wow, so you're my daughter and you're also a zombie? That's good, because I'm the leader of an anti-human zombie group and we're about to unleash a bunch of romeros on the city."

I assumed that the father would turn out to be the druggie who mixed the original tainted utopium. Could still be true.

That said, this season has improved since the first episode. It's not great, but after episode one I really thought this season was going to be almost unwatchable.

Yeah I'm not sure every show needs to lean into serialization. BotW with some light overarching seasonal arc would be fine. The 2nd(?) season with Stephen Weber was a perfect example of this. Or think X-Files at it's best. Just like X-Files, iZombie stumbled when it had to start spinning too many plates. However, I will say that I'm enjoying this season so far, even though I'd still like more Blaine.

I am extremely late for the party, but after unsuccessfully searching for Veronica Mars repeatedly on Netflix they recommended iZombie to me instead, and well turns out I love it. Only a couple of episodes in, but it definitely feels like a Rob Thomas show.

I thought it was kind of funny they ended up doing the opposite of human Liv for past Blaine where to make him look human he had to wear a wig.

Lunchables brain is very 90s. General Mills' daughter is dead so time to nuke it. Good thing Liv's dad turned other high ranking officials or next the next episode would open with the irradiated remains of Seattle.

I really love Don E's love for running the bar. Guy's just not smart enough to be truly evil. I kinda hope the guy gets some kind of redemption.

Gotta admit, I like Liv's dad. When they introduced him, it felt kinda forced, but this is an interesting dynamic, since he seems to be genuinely proud of her and wants to be together. And the brother is just kinda there and sick, I guess. But screw the mother! "If he becomes a zombie he wont be himself anymore!", she says to her daughter, she pretty much abandoned until she needed something from her. And I do feel bad for Don E. He found a girl he's happy with, but she's destined to die soon, so that some rich douche can eat her. Also the poor guy is called "Donald Eberhardt".

I just remembered that 2 episodes ago Major's big plan was for the zombies to move to zombie island. Because surely they wouldn't get bombed the second there were no more human hostages in the way.  I'm not sure who is dumber: Major and Peyton for thinking it's a good plan or the US military for not going along with it then just level it once all the zombies are there.

I also like how Ravi and Peyton called drugdad "The father of all Zombies." Sure, this was written so they could say "He's also Liv's father." But this makes it sound like he instigated all of this and was a secret mastermind cackling from the shadows, while in truth, he was just some drug aficionado, who happened to gulp a particular energy drink. Of course, he now leads a militia which placed sleeper agents in high places, but they have no reason to assume anything beyond the drug part.

If they're sleeping together, he kinda does try already. But I could see him being completely unaware of the immunity until he get's absolutely euphoric, when he realizes that they actually can have sex.

Quarantining a tiny island is much easier then doing the same to a city filled to the brim with the non-infected/hostages. Long-term there is no good solution to the problem, there are only less bad ones.

Yeah, Don E's that guy you kinda know through a friend, who's funny at parties and brings the good drugs, but also you instinctively know you never want to actually hang out or get to know him 1-1.

I thought for sure Blaine was going to kill Don E too. Just killing his fiancee almost seems merciful. Dang Martin, I bet you thought you were pretty clever with the metal plate in your head. Shame he just shot you again. 2 episodes left!

Also I feel like they could have done more with the drag motif; hell, I'm sure even bringing in actual drag queens would have livened things up a bit but it's hard to top the detective noir ramblings from the last episode. Still with two episodes left I'm sure they have to tie up a bunch of loose ends, which I'm sure will end up like 'Return of the Living Dead' and Seattle will just get nuked.

Yeah, the plate would have worked fine if he actually did anything after it worked, like attacking, rather than just standing there like a Muppet as letting him take another shot.

The part where this episode broke my immersion was the part where someone is still doing real-estate development in a city under martial law, infested by super-rabies and under the ongoing threat of getting nuked by the US. Like what.
