  1. The 100 - Now Adult Free. So, Josephine was wrong. The Primes burned down Sanctum. Is this heading for a space war or another time jump?
  2. I don't think it could be voluntary. Enzo and his zombie supremacists still want to be zombies and will probably continue to hold Seattle hostage to do it.
  3. Luckily, they also have zombie strength.
  4. 1. The Picard show will air on Amazon Prime. CBS kind of burned their bridges with Netflix. 2. Hallmark Channel offers a streaming services with their channels for $5/month. You just need a device or a web browser. I'm in the "Hulu or cancellation" camp because Orville is expensive, has low ratings and is going to be late by over a year. I'm also interested in seeing if Orville succeeds where Discovery failed in the streaming world. Even if you prefer broadcast TV, I doubt it will continue the way it is. How does a local affiliate stay running with decreasing viewership and cable companies pulling them off their services? In my ideal world, streaming channels would be replaced by a micro-payment system where you pay directly for the things you watch. Amazon is the only service I can think of that offers both a subscription video model and the ability to pay for individual titles not on the service. What I heard was that Orville would be airing once a week. One more thing, deleted scene from "A Happy Refrain"
  5. Ugh. Anything associated with "Rick and Morty" already indicates that it won't take Trek history or canon seriously. Plus, this is an ANIMATED show. Why is everyone human or biped? You can make characters look like spiders or blobs or gaseous clouds. The Orville has a blob and their budget is minimal.
  6. The Peyton is a badass myth is kind of a later seasons thing. She responded to Liv revealing her secret by running away in the first season. Over the last day or so, an annoying thought has come to mind. With a cure, everyone goes back, Liv stops doing Clive's job for him and the main characters have to try to reset their lives. I wouldn't be surprised at this point if the writers have the flash drive and the Max Rager warehouse destroyed. Then, the lesson will be about "tolerance" and how humans and zombies have to live together. That would suck.
  7. I think they can wrap it up in five minutes. If there's a mass deployment of the zombie cure, there's nothing to fight over. Even Blaine has no reason to keep the kids. Knowing Blaine, they'll still need to be rescued.
  8. As far as the guns, I'm assuming that the airspace above Seattle is restricted and that military flights are the only ones allowed. Since General Mills (ha ha) wants to kill all zombies, he likely arranged for a secret air drop just inside the city. In an amoral sense, it would be better for everyone in Seattle to kill each other rather than dropping a nuke that would make the land uninhabitable. Also, there are still fewer zombies than living people and the dead enders could eventually win after enough human casualties.
  9. The logic is superficially sound, but it would mean there are eventually thousands of people who know about the cure and choose to hurt people by giving them an inferior product. It's plain stupid to think that a conspiracy to hold back a cancer cure could exist when so many people know close family and friends who are affected by it. In terms of the zombie virus, the "treatment" would be useless. Zombies are a public health problem. Being a zombie mostly sucks if you don't have brains. You can't rely on them taking an anti-zombie pill on a regular basis. Blaine certainly made sure he turned back to zombie as soon as possible. This is so common in entertainment, it's a trope https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WithholdingTheCure
  10. Which devastating discovery did Liv make this week? That the CDC guy was corrupt? All the heist stuff could have been avoided by just scratching the guy. He would have been much more interested in a cure if he was a zombie. Basically, this episode was filler and set-up for the finale. Peyton's in danger, Major's in danger, Seattle is more or less in danger. I wonder if General Mills ever finds out the Derkins woman was the one who facilitated his daughter's death? I'm about 99% certain Don E. finds out Blaine killed Darcy and he kills Blaine for it. I care enough about what happens to watch next week, but it is definitely time for this ride to end.
  11. Leaders like Octavia have a poor life expectantly on The 100. On that note, it looks like Kane kind of died for nothing. Abby ended up making more nightblood anyway.
  12. At least Michael provided the "Rose is 51" thing that Jane used to stall her.
  13. Well, Gaia is obsessed with Nightbloods, so it was probably a bigger deal to her. I watched this again. Apparently, they were using genetically modified embryos to create hosts. Gabriel destroyed them before he escaped. Then Josephine started convincing the people that putting the mind drive in was a way to meld both people instead of wiping out the host, which was the reality. In that case, it would be pretty harsh if Clarke and company killed everyone when only about a dozen of them are the real problem.
  14. Cher is definitely more current than Judy Garland. Cher was around since the 60's but she didn't become a gay icon until the late 90's. Martin's steel plate was revealed a number of episodes ago. Of course, it proved useless because Martin didn't use the moment of surprise to put a bullet in Enzo's head.
  15. They'd have to do the same thing as with the Senator, hope that fear of being found out will make them hide their secret. After Blaine slept with the rich woman in the first season, she got a gray streak in her hair the next morning.
  16. Ravi actually did tests with a bunch of condoms and it turned out none prevented transmission of the virus. At the time, Liv was very interested because she was back with Major and he was human.
  17. On the verge of the re-animation of "Veronica Mars," I can only hope that iZombie actually ends. It's cool that Liv can eat brains and get clues, but there was virtually no reason for her to do it this time. Remember when Liv needed to eat brains and then had to disguise her visions as psychic in front of Clive? I don't want this show to end with anything other than a zombie cure for everyone. There may be some benefits to the zombie virus, (revealing the thoughts of the dead, preventing death from illness) there is nothing to show that a large enough population won't end up with unintended human deaths.
  18. The new leader of the zombie apocalypse is Enzo? That won't turn out well. At least he's an intellectual match for Derkins. With two episodes left, I hope this is the last time Liv's brain of the week is the A plot. Blaine is stone cold, man.
  19. That particular dialogue is in line with the show. After he "died," Murphy has been afraid of dying and being damned. Morality isn't religious in and of itself, it's just about choosing good over bad. The theme for this season has been "do better," although I can't think of anything anyone has done better compared to past seasons.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. There's also the whole situation with Jerry Doyle.
