iZombie stuff

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.

Date: 2016-05-12 05:17 pm (UTC)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!

Date: 2016-05-07 08:56 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2016-05-08 02:55 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2016-05-08 03:03 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2016-05-09 12:13 pm (UTC)I agree with many of your thoughts on the finale, however, I did and still do ship Veronica/Logan.

Date: 2016-05-09 07:11 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2016-05-09 07:37 pm (UTC)Oh, me too, but I have to admit, I'm curious about Blaine/Peyton; so I like both ships?
Next season should be interesting...

Date: 2016-05-10 08:32 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2016-05-09 11:54 pm (UTC)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!")
