iZombie: Zombie Bro Review

This iZombie review contains spoilers.

iZombie: Season 2, Episode 2

Damn,iZombie.

Stop making me feel things.

Never have I wanted to spend more time with a bro than in Zombie Bro.

Well played, show.

Ultimately, it ended up being a non-suspect introduced late in the game.

Plus, it gave us a chance to see Liv as a fun-loving brodude.

Not all brains-influenced Livs are created equally.

Last weeks Grumpy Old Liv didnt really work for me.

Liv might not usually be a grumpy old man, but she is a brooder.

The comparison of these brains-induced personalities does highlight a particular problem in theiZombiestructure.

We rarely get to see Livs snacks as actual people.

It was a nice reprieve.

(We better get another Princess Sparkles reference in a future episode.)

Ravi convinces Major to go clubbing with him so that he can test out some Utopium.

Ravi thinks it will help him better understand the drug that can help cure zombie-ism.

iZombietends to play it slow on the whole Liv/Major romance plotline, and it is totally working for me.

It is no secret that they love one another.

That they dont want to be with anyone else.

Not knowing the latter reason, Liv is trying her darndest to get back on Majors good side.

I half-expected her to turn Major away when he asked her to stay with him.

It would have been understandable.

Major cant have it both ways he either needs to let Liv in or let her go.

Its not fair to waver somewhere in the middle.

These two are so tragically complicated.

I wasnt expecting their dynamic to be the absolute best part of this episode.

Im not surprised Blaine has daddy issues.

Im not sure if Blaine needed this extra character layer, but I am still happy to get it.

Any excuse to spend more time with Blaine is good enough for me.

Plus, this show isnt the throw in to send Blaine on some kind of contrived redemption arc.

Blaine may have a tragic history, but that doesnt make his mass murder justified in the slightest.

He is still the villain of this story.

(Or at least one of them.)

Rating:

4 out of 5
