Maybe she'll post-humously scratch him and he'll come back? Doesn't it work like that in some zombie movies?

Holy CRAP, things got interesting. Love interest part deux is so much more entertaining than Major. I hope they don't pull a "turn him into a zombie so there's actual competition" nonsense. Also, what's with detective shows pulling out the goons? Elementary did it too a week or so ago with their Everyone (Anonymous) based episode. Also, kind of love that the CW has this show. It has to compete time slot wise with pretty heavy hitters, but CW has a hard time letting things go. That and CW has a good time getting licensing on interesting music and I dug Little May's "Hide" played at the end.

I think the show's slowly starting to shed the veronica mars comparison. It'll never be "more Veronica Mars", but it is such a damned fine entertaining way to spend an hour.

Sorry, but I hated this episode. The rotten brains thing made me gag, the game and computer stuff was all stupid stereotypes and it just didn't make sense. The Goonlord guy was literally a terrible criminal who did actual crimes involving high-security Federal stuff and nothing happened to him? It was idiotic. The whole computer plot was egregiously stupid even to my wife who isn't in the industry and knows nothing about MMORPGs. Now I will say that all the character work remained strong, Major's "who's your buddy?" was a nice moment and Liv on anti-anxiety meds was a lot of fun. Also the return of Liv's mother! I forgot she was alive, didn't you?

If you're going to nitpick everything, technically every time she eats brains is supposed to make you gag, they don't make the stuff look appetizing and the dude looked gross as hell: decomp does that to the best of folk and he wasn't even close to that. Medically, she didn't even come close to saying epinephrine properly and it's odd to see PTSD and anxiety treated with the same meds, not to mention the side-effects being what she faced, since the more commonly used anti-anxiety meds don't usually do that. Give yourself a pair of rosy tv spectacles. They never get anything right.

I am still shipping Liv and Ravi, but the new guy is better than Major at least. I am also happy that they ditched the bit where they feel the need to explain the premise of the show at the start of each episode, that is what the kickass into is for.

It was cute how hard they tried to not fall into the deep, dark pit of the usual Putting the Computer on the Teevee plot. More "hanging onto the edge of the pit for dear life" than the depths where CSI: Cyber and other dread beasts dwell. The real strength was the timing. Something finally going wrong with Blaine's operation (creating a legion of powerful zombies in thrall to you for your supply of brains — you know, those things found in the skulls of everyone else around you? — is the kind of pyramid scheme that cannot last), Rich Blackmail Victim getting drilled into the after-afterlife, and Liv finally catching on to the Z-Mafia all happened not an episode too soon.

Somebody has probably said this already but I'm increasingly loving how this show and its supernatural/fantastic/sci-fi elements don't live in a bubble or are self-contained. More and more people are becoming zombies and it's spreading and the zombies are exploring what they want to do, how they want to live and how they want to interact with the world. And I love that things are slowly getting bigger and bigger than Liv just keeping a secret, like it's not just three seasons of "I'M THE ONLY ZOMBIE ;_;". poo poo that happens is having an effect on the rest of the world and that's just awesome attention to setting and detail.

I hope whoever was worried that Blaine and his cougar friend/victim were getting too cozy is feeling better about that relationship now.  It does seem like he's walking a fine line with how much he feeds his customers and employees, they all seem to be quite a bit farther along the dumb-and-mean spectrum than Liv, new guy, or Blaine himself. I'm a little surprised he hasn't misjudged the line between dumb enough not to question him/desperate enough to eat just anybody before now.

It seems like the transition to zombiehood is relatively gentle and thus far the people who've experienced it have either been resourceful, trapped in a well, or at Blaine's mercy. But what's going on in other cities? Is Seattle the only home of zombies on planet earth? I have to assume some poor sap(s) will eventually blunder into health care or social service settings and it will begin to get some notice as a public health issue.

For some reason I found the scene where Live kind of floated into the the police station while doped up to be just loving hilarious in every way. Her mannerisms and facial expressions had me giggling like a loon.

Yeah, this show has a lot of great one liners, and the cast has been great at selling them. "I'm sorry but I ate some agoraphobe brain and now I can't leave the house." Sums up the show pretty well, I think.

This show has the most sedate zombie apocalypse ever conceived. I'm really enjoying it. Of course it has to air on Tuesdays which is why it's taken me this long to get around to checking it out.

This is the only show where I've noticed that instead of using Surface Pro 3's for everything they are using 3-4 year old model HP laptops. Hell even the "gamers" computer had an HP Assistant Tool next to the clock.

This is a fun show. I'm getting sick of the doom and gloom zombie apocalypse stuff everywhere, so this is a refreshing take on it for me. You don't have to shoot them in the head, just feed them some gourmet brains and they'll be dysfunctioning members of society again!.

It's weird. The makeup department doesn't work very well with the lighting department, aftereffects, or SOMETHING, because sometimes, I can see where they used the airbrush for the white paint and smoothed with sponge and it's a very caked on, DEAD look, and sometimes, she just looks pale, gothy, Liv, and it works. Also, I enjoyed the SLIGHT Buffy reference with Dingos Ate My Baby.

She's also a Kiwi, which I learned for the first time this week. Between this and Masters of Sex, I would have had no drat clue if it wasn't for some behind-the-scenes thing she did. Another solid episode, though I was a little foggy on the timeline of the dead girl for about half the episode. I did love the whole "I'm gay. Temporarily." schtick. It's nice to have a love interest in a show that you actually want to root for rather than forced drama like in other shows. Poor Major, though. I mean, yeah, breaking into a car in broad daylight was dumb as gently caress, but his heart is in the right place and he is just getting poo poo on each ep.

Yeah, sometimes she just looks pale and other times (like when they were talking to the animal control lady) she looked bone white, like inhumanly white. Also, they really need to start getting Liv involved with the whole meta zombie plot because as it is she's right on the edge of looking foolish with all these other zombies out there noticing her but she's oblivious.
