I have never wanted an episode of television to end so quickly. Atrocious acting all around. And that second story was an incoherent mess. Just awful.
I’m sorry, but that was completely absurd.
Finally! Great episode!! It’s all coming together.
I dunno… this series just isn’t grabbing me yet — and I’m not surprised. WandaVision made me care exponentially-more about Avenger characters I was never truly invested in. And I feel the exact same about Bucky and Sam as I did since their introduction… which isn’t saying much at all. The banter and bromance therapy is doing absolutely nothing for me.
Story-wise, something isn’t clicking for me either. It all seems a bit scattered. The threat doesn’t feel all that menacing. And why are they about to talk to a Hydra person? Admittedly, I should probably know this, but the storytelling here just doesn’t feel solid.
I’m hoping I get into it more. Right now, my biggest investments are a) whether the new Cap is actually a good guy and b) whether or not Sam and his sis keep the boat.
I need more.
I’m not entirely sure this show deserves John Glover.
It’s absolutely astonishing how little I care about these characters. What is Strand doing exactly? And why? His motives have completely sailed way over my head. I feel like I know close to nothing about this character that has been there since the very beginning.
I don’t know. This show is all over the place. I continue watching purely out of commitment.
Finally, things go Ralph’s way.
At first, I was like... ok, we have three episodes left, cut it out with the procedurals and start tying things up. Until I realized it was drag queen brain... I was SO okay with that lol.
But now we need to get serious. No more crimes to solve. Let’s stick to the main story. And I’m thinking it will.
This season hasn’t been perfect, but I’m definitely invested into how everything will ultimately wrap up. I’m hoping Liv’s dad isn’t dead. Yes, his arc was a bit rushed and out of nowhere, but he was a fairly menacing villain, more than Blaine could ever hope to be... and his death would be incredibly anticlimactic.
But yeah... how’s it all gonna end? Will Liv become human again? Or will she choose zombie life in the face of a cure that we know is coming? Will her and Major finally be together? And will Enzo, the Trump-supporting truck food lady, and Blaine all meet horrible, ferocious ends? I sure the hell hope so.
Unpopular Opinion: Blaine is not a compelling nor an entertaining character. People seem to love him, but I’ve never been a fan. There has been little to no growth in his trajectory. He’s neither charming enough nor evil enough to make an impact whatsoever.
Major, on the other hand, gets a bad rap. Writers have failed him at times. He needs to get more comic relief stuff, because Buckley has knocked it out of the park.
Loved the subtle Pump Up the Volume reference at the beginning of the episode.
Did they even solve the cyanide poison in the last episode? Pretty sure it just ended with the suspect dying from poison. Ok then.
The procedural cases have certainly taken a backseat and have become a bit half-assed. At least the one in this episode was solid and connected to the main plot.
Well done, iZombie. That ending got me.
I know nothing of the finale, but I see two predictable plot points on the way: 1) Levon’s camera was an obvious problem from the get-go. It’ll reveal that Liv is Renegade. 2) Liv will of course end up on the guillotine, and will obviously be saved somehow. Probably by Major.
I hope these are wrong and I end up being surprised.
One of my absolute faves!
I could be mistaken (I took a little hiatus from the show after season two), but I don’t remember brains taking over Liv’s personality so fully. While humorous, it seems like a bit of a change to watch Liv speak that way for the entire episode. Not sure how I feel about it.
Not enough of Rachel Bloom!
Liv’s hairdo was the real star of this episode.
iZombie continues to prove that the tired zombie genre doesn’t have to be so tired.
This episode felt very different - and I liked it! No insane, over-the-top brain personalities for Liv. Instead, it gave her one that served as an interesting plot device for her character. There was definitely a more mature tone. And a pretty crazy twist of a cliffhanger. It’s about time this show had some bigger stakes.
It was nice to finally see an episode where Liv isn’t taken over by her latest brain for the entire episode. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve found her last several “personalities” to be a bit irritating and quite abrasive.
And, in the first season, I don’t remember the brains taking over as much and as often. They also don’t always need to be so intense. It gets exhausting after a while. We need a little more Liv as Liv.
One of the best episodes.
“Hellooo, ball.”
Legendary. Classic. Iconic.
Simply perfection.
Seeing Christina Applegate in a scene where “I Only Have Eyes For You” plays gave me some serious Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead vibes.
Anybody else?
It’s definitely a great series. And I love seeing Christina Applegate back at it! My one qualm with this show, so far, is that it’s a liiiiiiittle too predictable. Otherwise fantastic!
Kristen Wiig is such a gift. And, to me, the reigning modern SNL queen. To have her in mostly every sketch is close to perfection. Love love love.
Better than the last episode. But, boy, I’ve never seen survivors in this franchise get so lucky in a single outing.
WHAT? HUH?? After a strong premiere with Morgan, we get a bunch of nonsense.
I thought we were gettin’ another good one, along with some big reveal after they cleared the walkers. But nope. No reveal. Literally nothing.
I don’t understand Strand’s motives or what the hell his big emotional dilemma was here. Maybe too much time passed since I’ve last seen these characters, and I’m simply missing something. His whole reason for separating himself seems very contrived — and I honestly couldn’t care less. SO dramatic. These people should already know who they are by now.
Like Morgan, the show should’ve welcomed this lot of characters this season with more of a bang and a LOT less unnecessary melodrama. Hopefully the next group gives us some sensible story.
But if Althea is still focused on her damn tapes, I’m gonna scream.
Better acting. Better storytelling. No surprise that TWD vet Michael Cudlitz directed this installment.
That Super Mario skit was one of the dumbest I’ve seen on the show.
Wowww. This single episode took the entire series to a whole ‘nother level. The point of it all is finally coming into view and the stakes are high. Solid entry.
