Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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 look more rad than Lutheranism

Poor Tim's reaction was "If it's this stressful next season, I don't think I can watch it."

And I respect that, because I feel that way about lots of media (books, movies, TV -- my brother has assured me I can NEVER watch the Vikings TV show). But I am totally hooked on iZombie.

So what's the deal with the Asshat (hurr hurr) band kids? Somehow connected to Max Rager, maybe? Because in the stoner's flashback, he was talking about money (or the other guy was), and not going to the cops. And there was no money involved with hitting Sebastian the zombie, so it had to be something else. And since the "previously on" segment showed Liv talking to the Max Rager CEO but the show didn't follow up on that, I'm just wondering if that's what the Asshat band kids were involved in.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HOLY FUCK.

I do not want Peyton and Major to die and/or become zombies. I *really* don't want Liv to have to eat either of their brains.

Apparently I prefer my media stressful. These days when there are no real stakes for the characters I get annoyed and wonder why I'm still watching.

Here's my crackpot theory for the finale:

There has to be some payoff to Ravi trying to find a cure. Say he DOES find a cure...but there's only enough for one zombie. And then Major -- or Liv's brother -- gets zombified. WHAT THEN?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So much HSQ this episode! I'm starting to really love this show, as opposed to just really liking it.

Yes!! I was thinking the same thing, like I'm legit into this shit, not just enjoying it.

I sort of miss the lighter tone of the first half of the season, but I am far more invested now. Basically ever since Major went Will Tippin and keeps getting himself into more and more trouble, the show's been nailing it, and at that point I would have been okay with his being killed off because he wasn't doing much. Now I don't want him to die! And the scene where Liv told Peyton almost almost made me tear up.

I'm wondering about Cameron and the Asshats too. You're right that there was nothing about Max Rager in the episode, but maybe there was hush money involved? Actually that makes a hell of a lot of sense, given that Sebastian was a Max Rager employee.

Cameron is still at large, too. Or is that just the tragic end of the story? I liked Teresa!

Liv's brother working at Meat Cute aaaaahhhh. Everything is terrible goddammit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Aaaaaaaaah! SO MUCH PERIL EVERYWHERE

Teresa may not be dead yet (I love that actress! I hope she lives). I was sure Peyton was dead until she was standing up looking at Liv in horror (what was Sebastian cooking? I had assumed Peyton's brains)

I love how the episode started off with the I Know What You Did Last Summer and had an actual zombie hand reaching up out of a shallow grave. That was awesome.

Yes, I love the actress too, and she was really underused on Arrow. I think he was cooking whatever he found in Liv's fridge.

Wayward Pines: We've stuck with it because episode 3 was kind of interesting and there is not a lot else on right now. It seems really stupid and dangerous to me not to be telling the son what is happening and making him figure it out on his own.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

sj, it's a deeply stupid show. I'm still watching for Melissa Leo and Reed Diamond.

Also, because my TV only gets Fox right now. It seems to have lost the CW.
