If you’ve ever watched a Rob Thomas show, you know that it’s all about the finale. The rest of the season is fun, but it’s the final few episodes and the grand finale where we really get to see all the planning come together. iZombie’s season 2 double-header final eps “Dead Beat” and “Salivation Army” were true to form, resolving...

Legion, iZombie really brought it this week, with a case-of-the-week that tied into the season arc, a strong structure filled with foreshadowing, suspense, and dramatic irony, and a cliff-hanger so good I thought it was the end of the episode – but there was a whole ‘nother glorious act left to watch. But my favorite part was the writers’...
iZombie keeps dangling the carrot but won’t yet snap the pesky stick so we can actually reach it. See, we’re at episode 13, and this installment really made it clear that as wonderful as Liv & Co are, getting extended to 19 episodes did a disservice to the storytelling. Things are finally coming together after an overly protracted season...
This week’s case on iZombie was a total no-brainer. And I mean that literally. When three bodies wash up, Liv is excited for a brain buffet, but here’s the thing: their heads are gone. Let’s break down “Physician, Heal Thy Selfie.” Liv, still not sure whether sleeping with Aberzombie & Fitch/Drake was a poor life choice, is also...
iZombie is back! No, for real this time. I promise. DC is done promoting its other shows/movies, which means everyone’s favorite zom-com is done taking two weeks off for no good reason. If the schedule is to be believed (who really knows?), the rest of the season will run uninterrupted. So what exactly happened in the highly anticipated “50...
After a holiday break, iZombie is back to counter-program the State Of The Union with zombies, murder, and David Anders rockin’ out to Christmas music. The midseason return, “Method Head,” gets meta as Liv and Clive investigate a murder on a popular zombie TV show that sounds a lot like Buffy meets The Walking Dead. I’d watch it. We...
Is it just me, or did iZombie take some (much deserved) shots at other comic book adaptations, like fellow CW series Arrow, that are littered with gravely-voiced pronouncements about what needs to be done? Every time Liv’s voice dropped an octave, I half expected her to say, “You have failed this city.” And honestly, I’m kinda sad they...
After a Thanksgiving break, we can all give thanks that Liv Moore is back on our TVs protecting Seattle from killers while having a weekly psychotic breakdown. This week, the brain sends her into a jealous stalker tailspin as she tries to focus on clearing Clive of murder instead of how many hot women are interacting with Major on the facebook...
RIP, Minority Report…maybe. Last night, Fox aired the season finale of the future-set drama. Like most new series, Minority Report has yet to be canceled, but it seems likely that ‘Everybody Runs’ will be the final episode. If the series doesn’t get resurrected, at least the show went out on a high note in one of the best episodes yet –...
You know what, Minority Report? I give up. You were this super bland show that I could totally write off, and literally as soon as you found out your episode order was cut, you started making half-way decent story choices. I’ll forgive the pilot because you clearly spent all your money on the jet-pack zipline scene or whatever, but good lord in...
