    So one thing I was not entirely clear on.

    were the mercs already on team z? Or did they become team z and just roll with it?
    They were on team z the entire time. There was a subtle hint in the early part of the episode. None of the romeros show any interest in attacking her despite the fact that she was right next to them. I noticed it and though it was a continuity error at first. Felt really dumb when I was completely blind sided by the big reveal.

    That does make sense. It also explains why she seemingly brought a ton of fire power and had a team of killers standing by.

    I'm still heart broken about Drake though, and the hot FBI agent, give me time, give me time.

    I have to give iZombie credit, they made that whole "I can't tell you" thing like 90% tolerable. Clive really needed to just lay out that he couldn't tell her, they both are way more than smart enough to realize that happens and it doesn't have to stop the break up as that's not a completely crazy reason to break up with somebody.

    Though why they hate awesome relationships eludes me.

    Well with the three awesome people they're doing that to they should really maybe rethink that.

    Well, maybe not Steven Weber as he was getting old and not easy to transition but I would have loved for Leanne Lapp to stick around as a reluctant member of Team Z.

    Not that Steven Weber wasn't great, just that his story kinda fittingly ended, destroyed by this dangerous thing he tried to harness.

    Rita still had places to go, not least what happens when she gets out from Daddy's shadow while still having to contend with his influence on her (zombification or otherwise.)

    I'm just still dealing with loss ok, evil Brian was on par with Mr. Boss for total sociopath. And with Blaine having some kind of amnesia its hard on the show for leading male villains /firstworldvillainproblems

    Speaking of things that are hard on dudes, Ravi didn't even get like two days in a row with Peyton. Poor ravi.

    Also things they get wrong about seattle... we don't have a court house like that, King County district court is just a tall building next to a bunch of bums.

    Like naming a cyber cafe for dog owners "Muttbowl Surfers."

    A 'meet cute' is slang for the awkward first meeting between love interests in romance movies or shows.

    Also i am ashamed it took me until now to realize Muttbowl Surfers was a play on the band Butthole Surfers

    Just like when Blaine and Liv first met, there was this crazy misunderstanding where Blaine turned her into a zombie.

    I thought it was common knowledge that nearly the names were hokey puns/wordplay.

    Blaine deBeers (Blame the beers)
    Major Lilywhite (Just... that)
    Ravi Chakrabarti (Check her body)

    One of the episodes, every generic guy was named after a Seattle Supersonic.

    And consider all the episode name gags like "Pour some sugar, Zombie," "Salivation Army," "Abra Cadaver," "Fifty Shades of Grey Matter," etc.

    Given the nature of wordplay on this show, I say again, this thread should be "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little undead." Since undead and unwell share the same prefix, and Liv and Major and a bunch of other people are undead, and since it's what Rob Thomas would want, if he hadn't had his brain eaten by a zombie.

    this finale was so good!

    i just looked up the comic and it seems like a pretty loose inspiration. they might well stick with the science-supernatural angle instead of spiralling off into were-terriers and ghosts. i would prefer it, honestly, as engaging with a single scary zombie plague and its consequences is plenty of material and we don't want it overstuffed.

    glad they seem to be delving into
    people with power seeing zombie-ism as basically a formula for superpowered immortality, and how that will play out. it's easy to imagine an undead empire ruling over human cattle.

    It's a good thing
    you're invincible, immortal, super-strong and can absorb the knowledge of your foes!

    For reals though, it would probably be easier to maintain a tightly controlled zombie shadow government and zombie strike force (who wear really good helmets), and just feed off regular human death - a zombie outbreak is bad for everybody, and why not keep the power to yourself? Probably for decades, too. Unless you have some ideological superhuman superiority thing where you want to maximize the number of zombies for some reason, or you want to solve mortality and injury by maximizing zombies.

    After all, a world where everyone is an immortal zombie and scientific means have provided synthetic brain food sources and ways to continue breeding would be pretty dope, maybe. Of course, if someone objects and nukes your infected country you just get... radioactive zombies... so, Fallout....

    Well there is the negative side effect of not being able to feel things anymore. That would probably become burdensome after a time.

    CW is starting to try out the Big Boy pants of being a full network, but not committing their lineup to it. They have 15 shows, but they're only sticking to M-F, which limits their options. If they decided to go after Sunday and Saturday as broadcast days as well, there wouldn't be as many issues with juggling their shows.
