Major's life is a stream of unending torments and it is the greatest. There are just no good options for him at all, ever, and it's impossible to see how it can get worse for him without his mind breaking into pieces....but I'm sure it will.

One of his clients will hang out with Liv at some point. Or worse yet, they will be a couple. Poor guy...

This show is really creative when it comes to making Majors life lovely.
What else will happen to him? A sudden death in the family? A late stage brain tumor?

Also I just realised that he was probably literal when he claimed to be able to get a bazooka in a hour. I guess the company would supply him with whatever he deems neccessary.

Glad to see things are going better for Major.
He's making progress at work, realised how many lifes he saves with it, talked a few things out with Liv, reconnected with an old friend, picked up a cute dog and even
found a new girlfriend.
God I love Majors arc.

Speculations on what would make his life suck most:
Peyton will be the one who catches Major, when he has to medicate himself after killing a guy. Also one of the names on that list is actually buying those nonzombie disguises for his child.

Also Rose McIver is unfathomably pretty.

At first i thought that the woman who got killed was supposed to be a zombie, didn't she have really weird looking eyes?

Her tan looked really fake too, which would fit as well. But if she actually was one, it would have come up when her brain was eaten. "Zombie brains are gross." Maybe that was a dropped part of the plot.

I just remembered something from last seasons finale. The Max Rager boss apeared in the end and it was heavily implied that he zombified himself (He had that weird withe hairstrain like Major.) But I guess he isn't a zombie, since Major would have noticed. Maybe that was also dropped and originally mister frenchname gave that poor woman a zombie STD.

It would be funny if it turns out Blaine and Major are immune to the virus now. I guess they have no way to test that without more zombie rats, so we won't know for sure until someone tries to infect one of them again.

That is especially ineresting since both of them are in acute danger of being exposed to the virus right now. Well okay, Blaine only was until the end of the episode. But if his pop gets thawed up, he is going to be really pissed at him.

It actually seemed like Blaine was considering rezombifying. That was mostly because his dad tried to use that as a leaverage.
But It would be quite interesting if he gets obsesed with the idea of being a zombie again. He wages the pleasures of life against the power of death and after a long time of considering it, he decides to reinfect himself, only to find out that he's imune.

This episode felt quite forgettable. And it had way to little Mayor.

Interestingly, Blaine saw a picture of Minor in the case files . If they happen to meet again, that might be kind of awkward in a few different ways.
Especially if it happens because Blaine drops by their house to pick up Peyton for a date. I really want to see that happen now!

Did Mayor and Blaine meet each other this season? I can't imagine they'd be the best of friends. Then again, Mayor recently did him quite a soild. And Blaine is the reason Liv finally started being honest about everything.

Absolutly deservedly! It's the best show currently airing and I will fight anyone who disagrees. The CW just realized that all the countless people who don't watch this show are missing out because they didn't give it a chance or just have bad taste. And critics seem to agree.

Seriously, watch that show!

Side note: So...did Blaine's dad ever make the will video or what?

Would that even work? Imagine how shady that would look.
"So... After you showed me the video where my dad accused me of killing him, I just happened to look through some of his old stuff and look at that! I stumbled over an updated version of his will. Daddy truly loved me after all."

There you go, the iZombie episode could revolve around Liv eating that woman's brain! :D

Well it is a brain disease. Someone has to give this idea to the show runners. Or Rose McIver, maybe. She seems like someone who is on twitter a lot.

So the cure erases all the memories which formed after the patient was infected? That seems kinda weird. The show might argue, that all the new brain cells from that time were unnatural and got deleted again. Brains really don't work that way.

But I guess that's totally TV magic. Becoming a zombie means that you can eat brains to get new memories. So the logical implication is that becoming a non-zombie erases memories. This raises the question: If a zombie would eat Blaines brain now, would he still get flashbacks of his time as a zombie? God this is stupid...

I don't like drama-amnesia. Maybe the show gets a really awful ending, were every zombie either dies or gets cured and nobody except Ravi remembers that this outbreak was ever a thing. (This scenario requires Peyton and the Max Rager guys to be dead.)

Speaking of which, if Major gets amnesia will anyone know where his freezers are hidden?

Maybe? Blaines buddies carried his dad (what ever happened to him anyway?) over to the funeral home. So unless Major handed him over somewhere else they were there, I guess. But they are on the way to get themselves killed by Boss, so there.
But he might have the location in his little contact book.

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.

"Shut up you hypocrite! When you did the same for me, you let me check into an asylum!" Yeah she's not really in a position to complain about that.

They really are. In my experience shows with female leads actually tend to be better since they are less generic. But I guess that depends on the writing team. If there is not a single woman writing anything, everything will be kinda weird.

Man, Don E saving his skin by begging for a headshot and then pissing the guy off, so he wouldn't grant him his wish was really smart. It took me a second to realize what he was doing there.

I loved how convenient that police party was. It gave the cast cool squad costumes and provided an excuse for them to be contained and just coincidentally a new, completely separated outbreak started that evening .

Yeah, how did Blaine become a crack shot? Did I miss a part where he ate the same mercenary brains that Liv and Major ate (or is he completely cured now)? I remember him being a devious and dangerous guy, but never a stone-cold killer or even adept with guns.

Besides what the others said, there was also the finale of season 1. He took down a person who just killed 6 of his men while shouting one liners. From Blaines perspective, Major must have been goddamn terrifying, but he kept calm. And at some point he also killed some of his subordinates when they considered diversifying their portfolio.
I guess a person who's ruthless enough to start a professional people butchery, while also making potential customers addicts, wouldn't really have problems killing anybody.

Everyone is always so chummy with him, so you could forget it, but Blaine is an absolute monster and probably even worse than DuClark. There really couldn't be a redemption arc for him. And even if his amnesia is real, he seems a little to calm about hearing who he used to be.

I'm in the camp that Blaine 100% has his memory - they make a point of him singing along with a song and having Ravi explain that Retrograde Amnesia means he shouldn't have anything but procedural memory. That's not, like, a medical certainty or anything, but it seemed just enough on the nose while still being subtle that it feels right.

I think the medical diagnosis for retrograde amnesia is a little less precise when you are dealing with a magic infection which lets you absorb memories through the stomach.

yeah this is some show, but I love how the solution to feeding zombies without killing humans is to just eat the brains of the dead. no real long term planning at all.

e: I'm probably thinking of more of a global situation over an isolated one (I know jack about the original story) but my point still stands

Well yeah. If half every second person on the planet was infected, it would be a giant problem. But the same could be said about every deadly virus.

And it's not like the dead people need those brains. Those things aren't really something on the donor list.
