Renewed for Season 3

Great news!

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 24-03-2016 2:13am

Glad to have this back again this week - I have a feeling the last few episodes of this season will be epic, if everything they set up this week is anything to go by.

Also just randomly found out that Babineaux explains the Party Rock Apocalypse at the start of Party Rock Anthem... Have they ever referenced or used the song in the show, because if not, they need to throw in a scene of Clive Party Rockin' at some point...

When they were talking about the brain being identified as cow brain, I was thinking I would like to see what happens when Liv or someone eats a non human brain. Probably nothing but be fun if they did have something happen.

Also would like to see a zombie attack a human. I know we saw the attack in the basement but would like to see a proper one to see how bad it is.

What a frustrating moment to end!!!

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 30-03-2016 11:15pm

Liv gives Peyton a lap-dance... Looks like Rob Thomas has been reading my dream journal again.

Only 3 episodes left this season, and it looks like they're gonna be pretty epic - everything is set up nicely now.

The recurring characters this season are being utilized very very well (Peyton, Don E, Drake, Gilda, Det. Bozzio, Vaughn, Mr. Boss), which has definitely upped the ante with the story arcs. It was probably my biggest issue with Season 1, that most of the focus was just on the 5 main characters (and I know that it was important to establish those 5, so fair enough), but I like that they all have their own little stories going on this season and that they all weave together into the main story arc.

FreudianSlippers · 31-03-2016 9:02am

I'm a pretty big fan of Leanne Lapp, so I'm excited to see where they go with Gilda the remainder of the season.

I'd like to see the outtakes for that scene since I'm sure they had fun with it where Aly isn't acting so disinterested.

Good to see Ravi figure it out and Major going full on zombie mode. Though looks like the detective also figured it out from Ravi's reaction.

Was thinking Blaine's memory maybe reset back to before he first turned.

Oh that's an interesting theory. I figured he had just lost massive chunks of memory, but for it to be just everything since he turned would be interesting. Although Blaine was a major douche before he turned - I think he's grown a lot since becoming a zombie, so I wouldn't like him to revert back to being such an ass.

iguana · 01-04-2016 9:36am

I don't think pre-zombie Blaine would have cared about sustainable growing practices and fair wages for developing world farmers. He was a drug dealer who tried to screw over Seattle's main dealer. A man who was warped by his abusive childhood and the antagonistically competitive adult relationship he had with his father. So he seems to have lost most of his personality along with his memory. He's not a complete blank slate though, as he thought Don E was Scott E and I'm sure his relationship with Scott E was initially through drug dealing. It seems inconsistent and on a lesser show I'd think it was bad writing but the arc-plotting on this show has been stellar so far, so I'm sure the writers know what they're doing.

CastorTroy · 01-04-2016 9:57am

Possible memory loss combined with the nice charity guy brain he ate just before injecting himself?

That's probably it. So the best thing to do with Major is to give him the new cure before he eats a brain. That way he'll probably have memory loss but still essentially be Major. The problem being that he was already really hungry when he turned not giving him much opportunity to explain that he's been hiding frozen zombies because Vaughn is blackmailing him to kill them. I really hope he doesn't lose his memory before he tells someone about the frozen zombies because I hate that sort of contrivance in fiction. I didn't mind so much when he tried to tell Liv and Rita interrupted them because part of a different secret was revealed instead.

pixelburp · 02-04-2016 11:42pm

I love the little touches that suggested Blaine and Majors reversion; first when Blaine was struggling with the wine he was drinking, and then with this week's episode where Major pitched the likely-fresh milk because it tasted funny.

Yeah, this is a show that started slow but now is must-watch TV. That fight in the kitchen was vicious.

I couldn't even begin to predict what's going to happen next week.

Just caught up with Season 1, really enjoyed it, i see that S02 is finished next week, has it lived up to it?

I was wondering if Blaine was gonna die in this season, but he's too good of a baddie to go:P
Why did the

chief

go out with a bang, if you'll pardon the pun & then blame Blaine, is there a higher power he stands upto?

It was a tough choice regarding the

brother

& her being the only one being O Negative, considering she turned

Major

& it looks like she regretted that & now he's guinea pig 2, if i've got that right?

Looking forward to Season 2!

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 06-04-2016 4:07am

Holy Cliffhanger Batman. Major is up sh!t creek. I'm kinda loving Amnesia Blaine - his reaction to Ravi filling him in and subsequent run in with Super Peppy Major was great.
Next week is gonna be awesome - 2 Hour Finale (well 90 minutes when you take out the ads, but still!)

Severe lack of theme song this week though - I hope they're not dropping it permanently.

FreudianSlippers · 07-04-2016 8:40am

Loved this episode, I saw zombie Leanne Lapp on her instagram, but it was better even in the episode. Also loved the Rob Thomas joke.

And funny that early on in the episode we had a literal cliff hanger with Vaughan hanging off a cliff in his ad. Along with Liv's Teipei noodles, this show might even be more meta than Community.

I'd say so - there's so many little nuggets of meta that I pick up throughout any given episodes and probably a good bit more that goes right over my head.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 13-04-2016 1:22pm

Last 2 episodes of the season were great. (I'll spoiler in case people didn't realise there were 2 eps last night). Sad that

Drake & Rita were killed off,

but apart from that everything was perfect, and fair play to them for getting

other Rob Thomas. lol

Mr E · 13-04-2016 7:15pm

Yeah fun couple of episodes. A nice fresh setup for next season too, with the new owners, plus Clive knowing about Liv.

ixoy · 13-04-2016 10:32pm

I think they've just won the Greatest Meta Joke of All Time award.

ETA: You mean the whole Rob Thomas thing.

Sudden Valley · 13-04-2016 11:07pm

I didn't enjoy the finale as much as the first season finale. It just seems when they run out of ideas so they get super violent and it becomes like a typical zombie movie without any humour. Also they are running out of people on the show who have not killed anyone!

FreudianSlippers · 14-04-2016 1:30pm

I thought it was a brilliant finale and a great set-up into next season.

mightyreds · 15-04-2016 7:40pm

I thought it wasn't as good as the first really sets up next season though, they could of done the whole basement scenario without the bloodbath upstairs and I think it would of had the same effect, without the crazyness would if hit home a bit more

Poochie05 · 16-04-2016 4:37pm

Thought it was great, very funny as well.
'Major Lilywhite, personal trainer' Good set up for next season and like the fact that Clive knows about Liv. Her shooting Drake to save him makes up for him having blown his relationship with FBI lady.

EoinMcLovin · 19-05-2016 4:37pm

Season 3 won't be back until Mid Season :mad:

Yeah, but if that means it'll finish later in the season and doesn't have all those pesky breaks, I consider that a positive thing.

Hopefully Netflix can secure a 'day after' deal for broadcasting Series 3.

Yeah, I'm thinking they might as Season 2 appeared quickly and I don't think iZombie is aired any more over here. It'd be nice to think that my watching the show could actually help its ratings for once.

I think it's something that The CW are starting to do more of, working with Netflix. The 100 airs on Netflix Canada weekly, the day after it goes out in the US and a couple of the other shows have the same deal going on with various Netflix' in countries where a TV channel doesn't already have the contract. Netflix UK and Ireland could do the same with iZombie if a channel over here doesn't have the rights for it anymore. I'm sure platforms like Netflix helps The CW when it comes to renewals decisions.

don ramo · 21-05-2016 12:18am

the CW is gonna be packing them in next season so this is no surprise, their getting supergirl and have a few new shows while also renewing their entire slate of shows,

so id say this will have a reduced order of 13-16 episodes, and if so im all for it, while i did enjoy season 2, i much preferred the pacing of season 1, i liked the more compact seasons, season 2 was a little padded out in parts, and i think going back to a 13-16 episode season will give us a much better story filled season,

i think networks are very slow to adopt reduced season lengths, that really promote much better stories being told, and have a proven track record over on the cable networks of being far more popular for it,

spektorfive · 11-06-2016 11:40pm

I watch the first couple of esps on RTE and then is was pulled.
Saw it on Netflix and got through both seasons pretty fast. I enjoy season 1 overall more. I have some season 2 questions if anyone could help.

What happen to Blaine dad? It seems like he was going to be important, was frozen by major, unfrozen and then never saw him again.

Why did Blaine kill his Grand father I thought there was some reason behind it, he seem to love his grand father, didn't really get that.

If a zombie having sex with a non zombie makes them a zombie surely this most have happen loads (think of all the Husband's/Wives we saw from the people Major froze.)

More just thoughts on Season 2.

I suspected like all these type of shows they would keep the bad guy around longer then he should and they did this with Blaine. He should been dead after season 1. I found all his stuff in season 2 pointless and now giving him memory loss it just a way to keep around.

Did anyone think the Drake stuff was really forced? Liv breaks up with major again and in no time all in with Drake. The moment at the end of season 2 where she had to shoot just seem so lacking in drama they clearly wanted it to have.
I watch some of season 3. I wonder will the murder of the week stuff fizzle out.

Mr E · 23-07-2016 10:17pm

Fun comic-con highlight reel from season 2. Spoilers for season 2 if you haven't watched it (duh).
Does a good job of making me wish it was back.

Season 3 is back mid-season.

Her natural accent throws me more TBH

squonk · 26-07-2016 8:36am

Yup I was watching the end of another CW show where she did a shout out for iZombie. I was 100% sure she'd said "Hi this is Rose McIvor. Watch a new episode of 'Eyes On Me' coming up next!". I went off IMDb'ing 'Eyes On Me' til the penny dropped

I recently went back to the very first episode to rewatch the beginning and it was crazy seeing her character being a normal human being in the first half. Looked completely different.

Just watched a bit of that clip.

Holy sh1t, she's Australian?

New Zealand AFAIK.

She also played (plays? I dunno, I stopped watching quite some time ago) Tinkerbell on Once Upon A Time, which David Anders also had (has?) a recurring role in...

May have to start watching that again at some point - it can be a bit hit and miss, but its enjoyable.

I wonder if Netflix will do next day airing for this?
