iZombie , Season 2, Episode 15

He Blinded Me With Science opens with Ravi examining a burnt body. It is a woman. Ravi calls her Cinder-Ella. I laughed. I’m going to hell! Ravi’s not getting much off the body though. He hopes that Liv can get more from the brain.

Brain Stew

With some nice warm brains in her belly, Liv heads out with Clive to solve the murder. The good news is that these brains are the super smart kind. Liv is going to be very intellectual this episode!

He Blinded Me… With Science Scoring

He Blinded Me With Science scores 81/100, making it Worth Your Time. The episode makes a strong comeback after falling a bit in Eternal Sunshine of the Caffeinated Mind.

Spoilers Below

He Blinded Me With Science had several great scenes. Watching Major find out Gilda is actually Vaughn Du Clark’s daughter. After accusing Du Clark of telling Gilda to seduce him. Not what a father wants to hear.

We also get to see Liv in human mode. It is so weird to see her with normal skin tones!

So what cost this episode some points? I didn’t like that Liv thought she was going to not get caught going to Max Rager. She looks different, but not that different.

iZombie , Season 2, Episode 5

Love & Backetball opens with Liv and Major making out. Major wants to do more, but Liv is scared. She doesn’t want to turn Major into a Zombie again.

Love & Backetball: Make Out The Zombie
Make Out The Zombie

Major wakes up on the couch, still human. He makes it clear to Liv that he wants more butshe tells him they have to settle for being friends. She won’t risk him being a Zombie, and she won’t date him until there is a cure.

Our victim for this episode if Mike, a security guard. We see Mike get shot after he turns off the cameras that might have recorded his murder. Once in the morgue, Liv makes a nice omelet out of the security guards brains, yum…

Brains Omelet

We then learn that zombies who aren’t fed deteriorate into something horrifying, and the researchers at Max Rager want a fresh sample of Zombie blood to figure out what is going on.

Mike was a basketball coach, and he clearly loved basketball, because Liv is not an expert on B-ball. We then find out that one of Mike’s kids father’s is abusive and violent. Clive, bless his heart, goes back later that night to make sure the abusive father knows he better not touch his kid again, and then beats his face down nicely.

Liv then plays coach match maker before dropping the bomb on Rita Du Clark that she was recently kissing major. This gives Rita the opportunity to stab Liv with a skewer and get that sample of Zombie blood she was looking for.

Rita is also pushing Major to continue to do his job but when he goes to meet his next target his doubts continue to grow when his business man target’s family, including his young son run to him for hugs.

With another body found, Clive and Liv are led to an expensive attorney’s office where they find the baseball bat he likely used to kill the 2nd victim, as well as blood on the blinds. Live and Clive have found their man.

Major then goes back to Max Rager and tells Rita that none of the people on her list are Zombies. She doesn’t believe him, but for the moment all she can is tell him the odds are low.

Major tells Rita they can’t continue to do whatever they were doing, and later in the evening tells Liv that he doesn’t care if she’s a Zombie, he wants to be with her.

Love & Backetball ends with Lieutenant Suzuki’s widow coming to Clive and bringing him a plastic container that has a chunk of blains in it. Why would his old boss have had brains in his beer fridge?

Love & Basketball Scoring

Love & Backetball scored an 81/100. It was fast paced and had lots of twists and turns and is Worth Your Time.

Z Nation, Season 2, Episode 2

White Light picks up where The Murphy left off. Citizen Z’s attempt to make sure that Murphy gets to the CDC backfires. Everyone wants the bounty. The bounty hungers are willing to kill anyone who gets in their way. This leads to a crazy free for all.

Free For All

Everyone is trying to get to Murphy at the same time they are trying to kill each other. Bullets are flying. Unfortunately Doc and 10K are pinned down by sniper fire. This leads to one of the most intense scenes in White Light. Doc is strangled, and only just survives. You can’t kill Doc!

He is one my favorite characters. Nothing better happen to Doc! Sadly, not everyone is as lucky as Doc. We lose another member of the crew in the human vs human vs zombie free for all.

While all hell is breaking loose in Cheyenne Wyoming, Citizen Z is fighting for both his life. Camp Northern Light is under attack. Citizen Z fights, and kills several fast, ex military zombies. Lucky for us, he’s up to the task.

After lots of shooting and violence, they catch Murphy. Addy nearly beats him to death. She clearly blames Murphy for making them chase him, which cost Mack his life.

White Light Scoring

I’m giving White Light an 81/100. There was a lot of action, but it bugs me when there is just tons of shooting as people cross open ground. Everyone who films a shooting scene should go play a few rounds of airsoft. Why? Because it is not like the movies. Being in the open means you will be hit.

Z Nation, Season 1, Episode 6

Resurrection Z is an intense episode.

It starts out with an introduction to the Resurrection Church and their twisted cult leader Jacob before segueing over to Team Murphy as they roll up to a protected enclave.

Garnett served with, and saved the camp commanders life, which buys them a free meal and a safe place to stay. At least until some of the exiled members of the Resurrection Church are allowed to reenter. They say they realized they made a mistake joining the cult, but once inside they make themselves into zombies, spreading chaos throughout.

Resurrection Church Member Making Himself A Zombie

There are no weapons allowed inside the safe haven. That has disastrous consequences once the zombie suicide crew puts their plan into action.

Team Murphy scrambles to get away as Garnett and Warren get their booty call interrupted. Damn Zombie Hordes! This leads to the first of the two candidates for Best Zombie Kill. The second follows closely after, as Addy and Mack are trying to survive the outbreak in the dining hall. Vote in the comments below.

The end of the episode has several major revelations. Murphy isn’t just a zombie bite survivor! Whatever was in the vaccine did more than just protect him from the viris. He’s something more. The zombies don’t react to him, and it even looks like he can communicate with them. He proves this with the old, I’ll risk having my flingers bitten off trick. There had to be a better way to prove he’s something more than human right?

Zombie Trust Test

Sadly, we lose the first member of Team Murphy at the end of the episode. This was a hard for me. The lost Team Member was one of my favorites. Thankfully I didn’t stop watching!

Garnett Head Smash:

Garnett Smashing a Zombie’s Head In

Addy Mixer Kill:

Addy with a Mixer Kill

My vote is for Addy on this one, let me know if you agree in the comments.

Resurrection Z Scoring

Resurrection Z was a pivotal episode and scored an 81/100. This puts it firmly in the Worth Your Time category.

Z Nation, Season 1, Episode 4

Full Metal Zombie sees our stalwart band of survivors on the road, facing the harsh realities of what it means to be a survivor in a post Zombie Apocalypse world. The team is focused on getting Murphy to a CDC lab in California, and if Citizen Z’s data is correct, there might be a military unit with a helicopter nearby.

It turns out to be a risky venture, but more importantly, who wins the Best Zombie Kill for the episode. Let me know in the comments below.

Option 1: Lt. Roberta Warren

If you like a little old school machete work, you’ll probably vote for the machete blow.

Season 1, Episode 4, Kill 1

Option 2: Combined Kill between Garnett and Addy

I’m going to say Addy did most of the work, all Garnett did was pull the pin, and I’m not sure if it was an accident or if he did it on purpose to be honest.

Season 1, Episode 4, Kill 2

Let me know in the comments who gets the Best Zombie Kill, for me, I’m going old school machete.

Shaun Of The Dead (2004)

Shaun Of The Dead is one of those movies that gets better every time you watch it. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have genuine chemistry that either reminds you of your best friend or makes you wish it did.

The movie seems like its about a guy dealing with everyday life. At least until he realizes that the Zombies have risen. Then it turns into an epic journey about winning back his girl and coming to terms with his mother.

Go

Shaun of the Dead Scoring

Overall, this movie is a solid 81/100 and I watch it at least once a year. Grab a pint, invite your best friend over, and wait for it to blow over.
