So did the season premiere come on tonight or what? My DVR was supposed to record it I think, but then it just went "lol nope" and decided not to. Kinda expected more posts for a new episode...

Major is the one that gets poo poo done, driven by the fact that he has absolutely nothing to lose, while Liv fucks around and moans about how terrible her zombie life is.

Is it just me or is her zombie makeup not nearly as pale as it was last season? Her skin tone just looks kinda... normal in that last episode.

On iZombie, I still thought it was pretty hosed up Major's hooking up with Gilda. She's making you kill people and threatening to kill your friend and out you to the cops. Why would you get near that? Life likes to screw over Major, but in this case, it isn't going to end well and it'll all be on him. Hope the dog isn't a casualty; that creature is adorable.

He is no doubt building up to another end-of-season killing spree. Things are not going to end well for that girl.

My theory is that he's somehow Harriet Tubmanning them to safety, we've never actually seen one of those body bags moving before he shoots it and he does have two buddies who work at a morgue

I will admit that this theory is somewhat undercut by his drug addiction, obvious guilty conscience and new dog

Yeah, I really don't think he's actually murdering them. He keeps dumping them off the same bridge so it would only be a matter of time before, y'know, someone discovers them floating downstream.
My guess is that he's not killing them, but he is tying them to something that weighs them down to keep them at the bottom of the river so nobody is the wise. It's not like they're gonna drown.

All of the non-main-character zombies have that convenient spray tan and hair dyeing thing (in all shades of humanity!) so the show doesn't have to do zombie hair and makeup 4-5 times or so an episode. They just never have bothered to show what a black zombie really looks like.

There was the one Indian girl who was Liv's rival in medical school, the one that I think invited her to the boat party? They found her trapped in a drainage ditch and she'd gone feral.

Why were they so sure that the utopium / Max Rager mix wasn't the same one from the boat? Couldn't it be that overdosing on it causes the melting bit, or just using it when already a zombie?

...I guess not, since them stating as much is probably their way of establishing it as truth in the iZombie universe.

Was that really the endgame? Because it didn't seem like Blaine's dad would have given a gently caress about eating his own father, or that Blaine killed him. Dude's ice cold as gently caress.

I would think so too, but maybe the idea was that his dad would be haunted with visions of rotting away in the nursing home?

Read posted:

Blaine's dad has leverage over Blaine because he can threaten him and Blaine considers him a credible threat. Previously Blaine couldn't be threatened with zombification and the clientele being secret prevented someone else from selling to them without a lot of legwork or forcing it out of him.

It is kind of odd though, because zombies are just a bullet to the head away from no longer being a threat and Blaine clearly hates his dad enough for that to not be an obstacle. Unless he's worried about people asking questions when Dad stops showing up for work? I have no idea.

It was Blaine. When she said the John turned her and welcomed her to team Z, along with Blaine using the term earlier in the episode, it was 100% him.

That's what I figured too, guess he was really diversifying his scumbag enterprises. For some reason I find that more disgusting than the whole "murdering destitute children" part.

I thought it was implied he turned women during sex so they could serve a purpose for him with the rich lady in season one? I mean, she wasn't hooking for him, but she was using all her money to fund him and make him all human-looking and pretty.

Yeah, I thought Candi turned him back into full zombie. That's the only thing that's supported by what the show has told us so far; cured zombies don't turn non-zombies as we know from Major / Rita and zombies will turn cured zombies back to full zombies as shown by Ravi stopping Liv and Major from doin' it.

So wait, was there no resolution with matricidal coffee daughter? She got away with it, they didn't bother trying to find evidence that she was involved, and she sold the shop and drove off in a taxi, the end?
That seemed really awkward, the way they were just like "welp, guess she gets away with murder" about it.

Mr. Boss has no idea how utterly hosed he is right now, though.

Also, they've probably mentioned this before, but what do zombie rats eat? That one super zombie rat really wanted a piece of Ravi and Major, so they probably want human brains, but do they rat brains as well. If so, why are they more omnivorous than humans?

Well, rats and mice are used in studies because of the physiological similarities between their brains and humans, so maybe a big ol' pile of rat brains would work in a pinch?

Even without a fever it was a bit confusing because both Major and the police assumed it was implantable chip, but it was the larger collar mounted device, so the weren't tracking the dog at all they were tracking the collar. Major had dumped the collar months ago. It was edited to look like they were about to run into him at the dog groomer, but they were never anywhere near each other. It was meant to be confusing.

Wait, really? I thought they all knew it was a collar thing and they just edited it to look like they were getting to the groomer at the same time when in reality Major had beaten them by a few minutes and gotten away.

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.

Please tell me I missed a part in the beginning where Major is just called Lillywhite as a joke cause he's white as gently caress.
