'Underneath'
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I have finished watching the first three episodes of iZombie, and I think it's cute but not my one true show. Perhaps I got my expectations built up too much. I thought the detective bought into the psychic thing a little too quickly, and I would like to see Liv try a little harder to resist the impulses of whoever's brain she has just eaten.
David Anders really is wonderful, as usual.
I'm editing an article on the shortage of organs available for donations, and juxtaposed with reading comments about iZombie, I have the giggles. Brain donation! It's a thing! Just ask Liv and Blaine.
Me too, Steph. I don't know what to think, but I am mighty intrigued.
I am extremely interested to find out if Liv keeps any of the skills she picks up from eating brains or if they are just temporary. Like, can she still draw? Does she remember random facts? DOES SHE KNOW KUNG FU?

I would agree with both of those criticisms, especially the first.

Pretty sure it's been established that they're just temporary. She has to eat more of the brain to get a new fix (like with the artist), and when she's out, it's out.
I don't think the skills have been established either way, just the character traits.
It looked like they were going to go there when the detective asked her to sketch something the episode after the artist, but then they didn't.
I want her to combine brains for a meal and see what happens.
Oooh, now I want that too.
Exactly, sj. I thought she had mentioned having negative artistic skills without artist brains so I was a little surprised that she just produced the sketch of the taillights without comment.
It is not my one true shoe either at least yet because it hasn't tried to really break out of the mold it sets for itself. Kind of like the first few eps of Wonder falls in fact. Makes the stakes less intense than say VM but also provides more stability.
But, hey. Buffy eps 2 through 4 weren't much either. The potential, it is there.
iZombie: In the first episode Liv buys a bunch of self tanner implying that she is trying to look like she's not a zombie so why doesn't she wear brighter make-up? Especially lipstick.
