The "Say What?" Award - A designer drug makes people zombies. We call the 50's a balmy spring day and break out the picnic. The "Oh Please" Award - It's in the 50's and you're calling that hot cocoa weather? Come to the Midwest. It doesn't get more entertaining than that.Īudience - those who like campy, snarky funīest Scene - Doc reveals that he knows Liv is a zombieīest Character - tie - Eva, Doc, and Clive although I loved all the charactersīest Side Effect - if you're forced to chow down on brains, then psychic visions aren't a bad tradeoffīiggest Jinx - Major, who says, "What's the worst that can happen?"īest Hope - Doc tells Liv that he's working on a cure for her zombie disease In the end, it was the kind of dramatic comedy that allows me to root for the hero, while still laughing at the situations. The sheer surprise and gratitude Liv shows over Doc looking for a cure was heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time. Liv's friends and family obviously care about her and the intervention scene was touching, as was Peyton asking Liv to step up for her. The biggest surprise for me was all the heart. However, they still treat their characters with respect. The situation of a designer drug turning people into zombies is beyond goofy so they don't even try to make it serious, allowing the viewers to laugh at the premise with them. It combines snarky humor with camp and sprinkles in a little action on top. Like Sleepy Hollow before it completely derailed into this season's biggest train wreck, iZombie has a delightful tendency to NOT take itself seriously. Instead, this was better than I thought it would be. Therefore I came into this show with sky high expectations, generally the kiss of death for any show. Veronica Mars, like Buffy before her, changed the teen heroine scene and gave kids someone to look up to. After all he made a show about a teen detective into a powerful yet still fun female power treasure. I'm not usually one for zombies but when I heard this was a Rob Thomas production, my expectations soared.

Until next time, comments are love and happy TV viewing. If you want to nominate an episode, just fill out the brief form below. Since the nomination didn't have an episode attached, I'm choosing episode 4 since that's where I left off. I'm a big fan of that episode's focus on Ramse, my favorite character. However next week I will pick up 12 Monkeys again. Dig goes further down on the to-watch list. I'll probably catch up on S&L shortly after it completes its run. In other news, although both Secrets & Lies and Dig are chugging away, they have been backburnered by me. It's just a shame that its ratings never matched its pacing. I don't expect it to come back but I can live with the ending. As for Eye Candy, its prognosis is poor to middling. Plus they resisted partner shipping which gives them massive bonus points. Perception sadly is gone for good but it did have a decent sendoff so I'm happy with the series. It is such a big hit that I don't see them waiting until midseason. Rizzoli and Isles is coming back sooner than I thought while I expect season 2 of Empire to debut in the fall. Mostly though this week was about saying goodbye to shows, some until next season and some forever. Both of them made me laugh and had incredible heart. I've recovered a bit from my TV grumpiness or maybe just ennui with the help of two shows: Scrubs, the nominated episode of the week, and iZombie, which gets the coveted Show of the Week award this time.
