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. 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

Creative Cannibalism, if you will 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).

One thing I don't get is why that zombie girl had a vision in the bank if she's been eating mush brains.

She must be getting brain paste from Fillmore Graves, and also have gotten the pure stuff somehow. The FG zombies treat pure brains like taking drugs, so of course the zombie teenagers would want to try it. Or maybe the mixer malfunctioned on that batch, and the tube she got had a lump in it.

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.

The first couple seasons of Misfits are fantastic. It gets iffy when they do a cast shakeup. I stopped watching after that, but other people report it gets good again.

I reckon there's at least two good episodes a season, even in the worst season (Season 3 or 4, depending on who you'd ask. I'd say 3, which despite being rubbish still has the Hitler episode.). The cast is consistently pretty good though. The first and final seasons are the best, and probably the most serialised. Which is probably its strength; since after the first season you can just pick and choose whichever episodes you really want to watch based on how interesting they sound, give or take the occasional important episode (which are usually at least good). And should you get to the final season, you can just watch most of that in a row. The show is frequently filthy in a way that they'll never be able to air unexpurgated on loving Freeform, but I guess we'll see.

If it were anybody other than Rob Thomas, I would be worried about the remake. Or more worried, anyway. A big part of the charm of Misfits is just how filthy the characters and show are. If he channels more Party Down and less VMars/iZ it could work out well.

So why wouldn't they try to question Harley instead of just tossing him into the freezer? Hell Major could do it. Not like he has anything else going on. I guess they don't have the chance now Poor Major though. Italian vacation has been cancelled. The whole series of scenes in the interview room were loving amazing.

For the most part I laud this show for being able to juggle multiple plots without being confusing, but for once I have to admit I got lost at the end there: who was the lady that turned out to be Patrice's mom? Also Jesus Christ Major

She's also the only member of Fillmore Graves' original board to survive the helicopter accident -- which, in and of itself, is suspicious. (And she's Djaq from Robin Hood.)

She came snooping around, talked to the girl about the flu outbreak but someone at Fillmore Graves freaked out and had her killed. Had a hearty laugh at opposite day Liv saying how she was covered in a ton of paint and wearing an uncomfortable wig.

It's probably both. Especially since he chastised Major for sleeping with a human.

Not going to lie, I was lowkey hoping they would actually write Major off and have him go. His story just feels complete to me, and his story since regaining his memory as a human has been my least favourite part of the season. Let the man go be happy or w/e. Of course I knew it was too good to be true. RIP zombie hooker. Hopefully not RIP Jason Dohring, I want him to stick around forever and bang Liv more tbh.

Natalie's whole "living in Italy for six months" thing struck me as odd. Before Major froze her, wasn't she on the verge of losing her house because she only got paid for sex in brains? Now all of a sudden she has "travel the world and rent a villa" money stowed away?

They had a map. He could have driven around looking at those locations until he found one that was crowded. A zombie party probably had some brain tubes floating around too, so he'd see enough evidence that there were plenty of zombies there even if they didn't look like zombies.

Before Major froze her, wasn't she on the verge of losing her house because she only got paid for sex in brains? Now all of a sudden she has "travel the world and rent a villa" money stowed away? It was a really nice stand alone house with a large yard in Seattle. Easily worth over a million, possibly several million. She could easily have had over a million dollars of equity in the house and yet been unable to keep up with the payments, and downsizing would mean losing the house she loved. Depressed people don't always make optimal decisions. Her situation sucked. She went from being a high class call girl to an impoverished one with no control over her schedule or clientele. Most of her new clients resented their own status, she was literally the only woman in the world they could safely gently caress, and some of them probably treated her like poo poo because of it. In that situation having to downsize to a condo could be the last straw. Or she could have robbed the rich zombie that bought her. If the villa in Italy was in a rustic rural area without modern amenities the rent could be pretty cheap too. She may not have the money to do that sort of thing for the rest of her life, but if she was basically doing a gap year style backpacking tour of europe and happened upon a cheap rental property it's plausible she could have enough savings to live that way for at least a couple years. Blowing through your savings that way may not be smart, but with what she has been through she may not care about the long-term future much right now.

Anyway, FG's the kind of company that would find out that the CDC investigator who's getting too close to the truth always picks up guys in bars when she's on the road, and Chase would obviously go after her himself (both because their secret bioweapon plan doesn't need any more people knowing about it, and because storytelling economy demands that you don't drag in some rando when you have a perfect antagonist already right there).

The only part of this that makes me groan is that of course the fact that Liv banged Logan Echolls is going to result in relationship drama between her and the other zombie dude she's dating, who is probably also going to wind up dead because he's a side character that I like.

Trilobite posted:I think the implication is that the potentially-weaponized flu that the CDC was investigating was brought in as part of the Fillmore-Graves D-Day plan. You know, to bring Seattle's human population down to a more manageable number in order to clear the path to becoming the new Zombie Nation. This is the finale week right? That seems like too big of a reveal to work through for the finale though I really like the idea. I was thinking maybe someone got a little nibbly or scratchy on the plane as a side story...
