Yeah, I wasn't charmed by cannibalism from Hannibal Lecter, I'm not charmed by it from a Manic Pixie Dead Thing.

I would definitely not characterize that character as a Manic Pixie.

Well, that's what I saw in the previews. I haven't bothered with the show.

I love the brain eating, from the microwave noodles to the gourmet stuff going on at Meat Cute, but it really isn't on screen much.

Zombies literally give me nightmares. I'll be relieved when the zeitgeist moves on to the next thing.

Unfortunately, Forever is likely to be cancelled, which I find sad. All sorts of interesting plotlines going on, though they're trying to push a romance between Dr. Henry and Jo the cop.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I like zombies, and I like iZombie a LOT so far...
...But Major? As a name? NO. I keep hearing "We named the DOG Indiana!"
Major is something you name your German Shepard.

The Major Major bit in Catch-22 is one of the first times I remember laughing out loud at a book for an extended period. I was youngish when I read the book, and I remember thinking how funny I must look/sound. Except I was alone.
Also, I am behind on iZombie but liked the first two eps. I find the lead charming.
