iZombie: Blaine's World

"Nice ball sac..."

So, to the finale. Blaine has Major at his mercy as the Max Rager conspiracy finally gets exposed. Oh, and Peyton finds out that Liv is a zombie under viokent circumstances and runs away, appalled. It was bound to happen. Will she back and, if so, as friend or foe?

It's a firmly awesome finale, setting up new threats as du Clark seeks to use zombies to produce "Supermax", which will mean consumers no longer need to sleep. And Liv gives up her apparently last chance for a cure to use on Blaine, a suitable Guinea pig for a solution that killed a rat. Suzuki dies heroically in the end, covering up his corruption. It's all very neat.

But the ending is heartbreaking as Liv's brother is caught in the explosion and she's asked to donate her blood. But she can't...

This has been an unexpectedly addictive,entertaining and intelligent series. A season of True Blood next and then I'll be blogging Season Two...

iZombie: Dead Rat, Live Rat, Brown Rat, White Rat

"Now, if you wouldn't mind feeling around my lobsters for a bit..."

So, Liv made a zombie in a boat while in a spot of bother, if you remember. Well, said zombie thug is duly run over by some stoned kids, consumed with guilt in an I Know What You Did Last Summer sort of way. Said kids start turning on each other, murders happen, said zombie is of course not actually dead, and we're getting very close to the finale. Good stuff.

Oh, and "The Ass Hats" is a superb name for a band.

Anyway, Ravi's cured zombie rat dies, which is a bit of a bummer. Peyton and Ravi continue to get on well with, allegedly, lots of sex. Liv, with her stoner brain, er, gets stoned. The case is solved but threads are left unresolved as we're about to start the season finale. Oh, and Blaine has Major, whose sleuthing has got him into trouble. We're nearly done now. This is a superb debut season.
