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.

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.

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.

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.

Tim's reaction was "Does she know she's on the wrong night?"

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.

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.

It is, but the cast is so wonderful that I just really want it to be better.

I made it through 2 eps of Wayward Pines and I haven't been able to make myself go back and watch the rest.

Bitten is pretty boring. I watched 4 eps a few months ago during an insomnia night and it was...boring.

Residue on Netflix, which Rio recommended, is FANTASTIC. Three eps, set in London with a bunch of GoT characters, and it's about the aftermath of an explosion of a weapons cache in the middle of the city. It's really well acted, creepy as fuck in many places, well-written, beautifully shot, and ends ambiguously (but I think there will be Series 2.) I highly recommend it!

(Ah, wrong thread, though it has supernatural elements, but I'll x-post in Streaming because yo, it IS good and you should watch it.)

So I finished Season 2 of The 100 last night. Wow.

If you happen to be a Farscape fan because there's no right answer, only less wrong ones: you might like this show.

I'm not overwhelmed by the acting, but some of the cast is great, although you can't always tell because everyone's covered in mud and blood pretty much constantly.
