iZombie stuff

[orangerful]

Yes, the actress from iZombie liked my silly tweet. I really wasn't even trying to get noticed (as you can see, no hashtags) I was just taking a moment to vent while we marathoned the last three episodes of iZombie that were up on Hulu.

Speaking of, I have MANY THOUGHTS (spoilers, obviously!):


I am SO GLAD they finally brought Babineaux in to the group and told him about zombies and it was just that one and done moment, he didn't need to go drink or brood for days. He doubted, he saw the proof, he trusts Liv, he moved on.

I feel like Rob Thomas ships Liv/Major. I like them as friends, but really don't find myself rooting for them as a couple, though I think they work from what we have seen. And I guess we can call it "even" since she lied to him the whole first season and now he has lied to her for a whole season LOL. Mutual deception, it's what TV show relationships are based on! Then again, Rob Thomas also shipped Veronica/Logan and that pissed me off because while Major may have lied about being the Chaos Killer, Logan was just a dick. But I digress.

Ravi <3 <3 I adore Ravi. I think the writers know that HE is the most likable character on the show and enjoy torturing us by torturing him. But, hey, Ravi, it is OKAY for Peyton to hug Blaine after he just saved her life! I mean, if Blaine had saved your life, you might have hugged him? Okay, maybe not. But I guess the issue here is that Blaine doesn't remember being an asshole so should Peyton and Ravi be mean to him for things he doesn't remember doing? If asked, I would probably say I ship Ravi/Peyton. I do like their dynamic and I feel like they work as a couple.

I did feel like the writers were as done with the Max Rager storyline as we were and maybe kinda rushed that ending. I mean, random party at Rager headquarters? How convenient. Also, why did his daughter go feral IMMEDIATELY? Had he never fed her any brains? That part was a little fudged and I had sorta hoped she might come back later as a big bad.

I was DYING over the whole Rob Thomas (singer) thing. I won't lie, I immediately went and found some classic Matchbox 20 songs on Amazon Prime and streamed them while making dinner the next day. I've always liked 'Unwell' and as soon as the zombie that had munched on Thomas' brain started singing, it was stuck in my head.

So I guess next season is going to be THE zombie apocalypse? With an entire mercenary crew infected, it seems like by the time we revisit Seattle, it will be Zombie HQ. If they can pull it off, that would be fantastic. I like shows that take chances and surprise me by taking the whole dynamic of the show and switching it up (Hannibal pulled it off!). Maybe this will help with the whole "brain of the week" problem which tended to wear thin, especially when we had major plot arc to cover.

Heh, nice.
I must watch more iZombie soon. I've seen maybe 2 episodes so far.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Second season has been a lot stronger than the first, IMO. I almost dropped the show after the first season but decided to give them another chance and I am glad I did.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Ok, cool. I'm only as far behind as I am because I tried to take it on while also doing uni and watching far too many other shows. It ended up sidelined. Hoping to get back to it soon, what with having more free time and all.

How cool!

That's pretty awesome. :)

I'm excited about next season, definitely. And have more thoughts which I may add when not typing one fingered on my phone.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Next season could be a whole new show! Yes, curious about your thoughts when you have a regular keyboard in front of you :)

[chelseagirl.livejournal.com]

I feel like the show had run its course as a sort-of procedural, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it move more into Zombie Apocalypse mode. I've thought of it as Zombie Veronica Mars, and I've loved how they had various VMars cast members visit, and how Liv said once how she identified with Kristen Bell. But now I'm excited to see what they do next.

I am with you on adoring Ravi and not especially shipping Liv with Major. And I'm also glad Babineaux is fully on the team now -- and also that Peyton is back -- yay for Liv having female friendship!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was tiring of the more procedural episodes this season and was glad when the main arc started to take over the story. I really hope the whole "Zombie Apocalypse" storyline works out LOL. They've really brought the team together now, let's hope they know how to use them!

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

That's very cool that she liked your tweet, especially when you didn't use any hashtags.

I really liked the second season overall. One of the few shows this season that really hasn't disappointed me.

I'm glad Clive found out and was able to put aside being freaked and help out with the situation.

I like Liv and Major as a couple and as friends. They definitely feel even in the lie department, though I hope they can be honest with each other moving forward.

I like Ravi and Peyton together, too.

Yeah, if the show really wants Liv/Major to be a thing than I would like them to be on even ground all next season, working together instead of separately. Then maybe I could believe that relationship would work.

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really hope they can work together cause it definitely looks like they're all going to need to band together.

That's awesome!!

That is so awesome, lol!!

How cool!

[poniesandphotos.livejournal.com]

That's pretty cool!

[place-to-hide.livejournal.com]

Haha. That's awesome! :)

I know. I thought it was funny they had Rob Thomas the singer on the show. lol

[aliens.livejournal.com]

ahhh that's so cool :D

[geckoholic]

Heeh, that's cool! XD

Yep, I like that and how they brought Babineaux in too. And the Rob Thomas thing was HILARIOUS to me. I have, like, a bunch of CDs, of him and Matchbox 20. Honestly. Hilarious. Heeh.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I was cracking up! He's such a good sport for letting himself be eaten by zombies LOL

[koyaaniisqatsi.livejournal.com]

AHHHH FJEGHRGHEGW THIS IS SO COOL. I love Rose so much.

I caught up on the last four episodes the other day. I loved seeing Rob Thomas and hearing Unwell. xD I went through a huge Matchbox 20 phase during university, lolol.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

They were hard to escape for a long time!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love iZombie. How cool that Rose McIver liked your tweet.

I agree with many of your thoughts on the finale, however, I did and still do ship Veronica/Logan.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

No one is good enough for my Veronica LOL <3

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

:D That's awesome!! :D

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Very cool!

I liked how the finale handled Clive finding out too, it was good to see him finally get involved with that side of it. And yeah, I feel like the shows wants us to get very OTP'ish about Liv and Major as endgame, but they're just not the most exciting couple to me. I like them fine when they're hanging out as friends with Ravi and Peyton, but there's nothing that really draws me in to them otherwise

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

I feel like if the show really wants us to get behind Liv/Major, they need them to actually WORK TOGETHER all of next season. For the brief moments they were a team this season, it was fun, but then the whole "chaos killer" thing started and they were separate for a long time.

[impalalove]

If asked, I would probably say I ship Ravi/Peyton. I do like their dynamic and I feel like they work as a couple.

Oh, me too, but I have to admit, I'm curious about Blaine/Peyton; so I like both ships?

Next season should be interesting...

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Blaine before or after amnesia? Or both? Do you think he will eventually get his memories back?

I like a show that keeps us guessing!

[impalalove]

Blaine before or after amnesia? Or both? Do you think he will eventually get his memories back?

I like both, but the after amnesia is a little too early to tell, but his attitude when he found out about his 'past' actions was really sweet. It was very blank-slate of him. Before amnesia was intriguing, because he seemed to be slowly changing because he was so interested in Peyton, and I was intrigued as a result. I'll have to see how season three goes!

I like a show that keeps us guessing!

SAME. <3

[tellshannon815.livejournal.com]

Cool!

A lot of people on my friends list seem not to ship Liv and Major and I have to say I agree, but it feels like the producers want it to be endgame. And I kind of wish we had got to see more of the zombie daughter Gilda/Rita/whichever was really her name. (I have to admit to feeling a total idiot that it took me so long to recognise the significance of the pseudonym, it happened that I saw someone on TV reference the Rita Hayworth quote "They go to bed with Gilda, they wake up with me" and I thought "Okay, now I know why she uses that name!")

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

We need to see Liv and Major as a working team so I can believe they will work as a couple. Maybe next season will give them more shared screen time?

OMG I NEVER PICKED UP ON THAT! What a fantastic choice of names. Bravo to the writers. I love stuff like that. :)

THAT'S AWESOME! And kind of adorable that she saw it, even without hashtags.
