There is a difference between species. I remember that Ravi was bitten by a zombie rat once. He discovered that the zombie rat could only infect other rats.

Too bad Octavia couldn't have had that revelation before she started the war that ended Earth. So, Diyoza is coming back with an adult kid, right? This has Connor from Angel written all over it. Nice that Indra didn't get on the "do better" bandwagon. However, she did let Kane take the black goo into space.

Ravi called it "tainted" Utopium because it was a different chemical than the Utopium that ended up on the street. He assumed that Scott E. cut it with some foreign substance before the boat party. Instead, it seems that Beanpole Bob tested it out and Blaine got his hands on that batch. It's not actually tainted. It's a variant of Utopium that Ravi could not replicate without a pure sample. I would think that the zombie vaccine might be as important as the cure, since re-infection is extremely easy and very problematic.

Unfortunately, people on iZombie have always been as smart (or dumb) as the plot demands. Ravi and Liv didn't know about the zombie army, but they knew that Martin lied about becoming a zombie from the fake vaccine. I guess his plan is to turn zombies all over the country / world so they can't just bomb them out of existence. But he also seems to think that zombies are the next step in human evolution. The small flaw there is that a zombie needs about 12 humans worth of brains every year (going by Blaine's monthly extortion plan). Even if they could force humanity to donate every corpse brain to zombie kind, if they became more than 0.001% of the population, they'd run out of their food source. Candy got screwed (literally) into becoming a zombie. Then she had to be a zombie hooker. Plus, she's missing part of her hands, I think. Yeah, it was about time for her luck to turn around. It's kind of funny. Who took the zombie cure who didn't become a zombie again or die? I can think of Candy and the girlfriend of the prankster kid in "Death Moves Pretty Fast." Three episodes left. I'm guessing zombie cure gets created again next week.

They might be episodes they skipped in earlier rotations. I noticed that the video quality of the MeTV episodes is vastly improved from just a few months ago. It's too bad we can't get a digital version of the series from Amazon or something.

There's also the whole situation with Jerry Doyle.

Chloe became blind as a result of the accident. Nia probably caused it, considering the way the story is going.

I was just thinking, it would have been funny if Liv ate the coma victim brain and then fell asleep for a week while everyone else did their thing.

Ah, it won't be long now until the anomaly (probably after talking to Clarke) destroys the planet and they have to go to the next one at the end of the season.

I don't know if people born after 1980 know much about mood rings at all. It's been established that once a zombie has gone "Romero" that their mind is gone. Although, in this case it seemed to take less than a week. The song choice was good, but I'm used to CW committing more to a montage. They stopped and started the song in order to get more exposition in. Until the bitter end, they are going to continue with Rose McIver doing improv with brains. Also, Liv's mother and brother were even more douchey tonight. She was dead to them until they needed Renegade's help. Now all is forgiven. Plus, Evan, the guy who disowned Liv because she didn't want to turn him into a zombie, would rather face dubious treatment than being made a zombie at a time when zombies are at least not in hiding anymore. I might actually be more on Team Dad than Team Mom at this point.

That episode was as messed up as, well, Murphy is. I'm not sure how a non-profit can actually launder money properly. Good thing things don't have to make sense. I have to assume they're going to dial back the "blind woman in danger" scenes a little. Nia's the kind of criminal mastermind who can only exist on TV. Blackmailing a cop is a bad way to do business. Putting a dirty cop on your payroll instead of making one dirty is a lot smarter. Presumably Dean is going to jail and Jules is dead, so cops may not be part of the show anymore. Then again, maybe Dean will wake up near the end of Season 2 and turn State's evidence against Nia.

Maybe they can throw new Kane into the anomaly and old Kane will come out. Maybe we could get the old Raven back. Did her leg magically heal?

Gabriel kept it a secret because 1)he didn't want to look like a hypocrite when the other guy gave him a new body and 2)because he killed the guy who put him in the body and now has no evidence that it was against his will. Xavier has been telling the others the whole time that he hasn't seen "the old man" for a while himself. The anomaly might be the first time this show has used sci-fi magic rather than implausible science. Too bad they can't use to go back and kill Becca before she invents ALIE.

It could still not be Dean, but that kind of fake out is kind of dumb and not something this show tends to do.

Are the only guys interested in Murphy vaguely criminal? This show holds my interest enough to watch the whole season, but I have trouble with how this plays out? Will they continue to unravel a criminal conspiracy? Is Murphy going to have to deal with life at some point?
