Isaiah Washington was in that show back when it debuted, so it was on my automatic Do Not Watch list.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I haven't watched The 100 (and really don't have time to add another show) but I've seen several "You should watch The 100 (yes, really)" articles at sites I trust.

I'm out of TV. Is Bitten worth watching?

ETA: Nevermind, I watched two episodes and didn't like it.

I just watched this week's iZombie, and -- how much of it was a hallucination? Everything, including the investigation with Clive? I got that telling Major she was a zombie was a hallucination (along with not!Cliff weather guy), but was there anything that wasn't a hallucination?

I don't think everything she did was hallucination, just parts of her experiences. The Major who stayed at her apartment and Johnny Frost were not really there. She told the empty air she was a zombie, for example, and everything Frost told her were either actual memories from Scott E's brain or made up delusions from Scott E's brain.

I assumed that Major hanging with them for movie night was real, since Ravi & Peyton were also there, but most everything after he left is questionable, and probably thanks to Scott E.

I figure Major left after the movie/dinner and Liv hallucinated the knock on the door and him saying no, he wanted to stay and all her interactions with him until the end. Why the sheets were so perfectly folded up in the morning, and he was such a perfect guest, etc.

Okay, that all makes sense.

It did occur to me right around the time that Johnny Frost wanted to put in Harold and Kumar and make some grilled cheese that it was REALLY weird that he would be Liv's sidekick, but Daran Norris is just so awesome that I immediately disregarded the weirdness.

I feel like Ravi being close to finding a cure is going to put a big target on his back.

Yeah, looking back on the episode it pleases me no end that there were a number of moments where I kind of said to myself "really? That's happening?" but it was plausible enough that I went with it. I mean, when there was a knock at the door after he left the first thing I thought was that Liv should maybe be more careful about trusting her senses, but I didn't actually consider that Major wasn't really standing there when she opened the door. And really, all of Johnny Frost. Why would local TV personality and customer identify a body? Because it's Cliff, so why not, my mind says, so okay.

Full on Keyser Soze'd, me. Love it.

I don't know what to think about the potential cure, other than that's huge and explosive.

Also, since Blaine lies about everything, anyone but me think that he does indeed want the cure - not to take, but to sell to high end customers who are not into the whole zombie thing? Blaine, in spite of his complaints is happy to be have the super-strength and be better at violence than everybody around him. (The early episodes made it pretty clear that pre-zombiehood, Blaine was a small-time crook in deep shit with the big boys. I think he likes being the one other people are afraid of too much to give it up for a more varied diet and better adrenaline rushes. Plus, I think he likes the occasional bouts of extreme rage that Liv calls "full zombie mode", and he calls "getting my rage on" better than adrenaline rushes.)
