iZombie , Season 2, Episode 16

Pour Some Sugar, Zombie opens with Ravi, Major, Peyton and Liv day dreaming about being next door neighbors. At least until the victim gives Peyton a call and gets murdered while on the phone. Time for Liv to eat some stripper brains to help Peyton. Unfortunately, Peyton doesn’t really understand how the whole zombie vision thing works.

Brains Lettuce and Tomato

Liv on sassy stripper brain is something to behold. Peyton being underwhelmed by stripper Liv was priceless.

Pour Some Sugar, Zombie Scoring

Pour Some Sugar, Zombie scores a 82/100, making it Worth Your Time. Liv does sassy stripper really well. Probably too well. She is either an amazing actress (which she clearly is) or maybe she’s been in a few strip clubs as well. More power to her!

Spoilers Below

Peyton, now in the know about Liv, wants help to close her case. Liv wasn’t into eating stripper brains, but she does it for Peyton. What a good friend. Liv on stripper brains is to the point, sassy, and dirty in all the good ways.

Meanwhile Ravi is putting together details that Major doesn’t want him to. The chaos killer is in the news big time, and Ravi recognizes Minor, the basset hound that Major took from one of the victims. Ravi follows the crumbs until he finds Major’s gear. What is major going to tell him an injection gun full of horse sedatives is for?

Blain is struggling with memory loss after taking the Zombie cure. He doesn’t remember being a zombie or anything that he’s done.

The murder investigation ends with Liv and Clive confronting Destiny, the stripper. She killed our victim because she was afraid her victim was going to send her man to jail.

Liv is still searching for Drake, and goes to his mothers house to try and find him. Liv finds out that her man wasn’t such a bad guy after all. He was working under cover.

The episode ends with Ravi confronting Major and ends on a cliff hanger as Ravi uses Major’s own kit against him. Major passes out as Ravi stands behind him, the syringe gun in his hand.

Black Summer, Season 1, Episode 4

Alone picks up right were Summer School left off. Sun and William are stuck in the diner, and surprisingly, Beard is alive!!!

As a tribute to him not being dead, I looked up Beard’s name. His name is Lance, played by Kelsey Flower. He wakes up on the floor of the school and panics when he hears the kids running amuck around him. The noise drives him to the roof, where we see there are at least a few planes in the air. It’s hard to tell, but I think the one fighter was actually on a bombing run.

Black Summer

I guess that means some organized force is still in play right?

Lance decides that going back into the school is a bad idea, and climbs down just in time for the Lost Boys to drop his body whom they shot down to chase him.

Bonus points for using the biters as self tracking weapons.

Time to Scream

Lance makes it free, but he’s bleeding, and it looks like he may have hurt his leg in the final jump off the first floor roof of the school. After wandering around the deserted town a little, Lance decides that screaming would be a good idea? Come on, that is just stupid. He only just escaped one biter, and if there aren’t people around, there have to be infected, right?

We then get introduced to Dog, who promptly ignores Lance. Lucky for him, there is grocery store around the corner. This seems like another very unpleasable find? Rose said its been weeks since she fled her house, so the Apocalypse has been raging for a while. Are there so few survivors that no one raided the shelves? Because the store is fully stocked.

Lance is leisurely strolling when he hears one of the infected, and low and behold, its his heat seeking zombie attacker, possibly following him from the blood trail Lance has left behind.

Poor Lance, all he had to do was lock the doors behind him. Instead he gets chased away from his food haul only to be forced to climb on top of a bus in order not to get caught.

Bus Trapped

Lance finally does something smart and lies down so the biter can’t see him. It seems to calm down the creature and Lance is able to wait a little while until the biter goes dormant. In the end it doesn’t work out so well though. Lance thinks he’s got a chance to run, but instead shows the biter how to get from the engine up onto the roof, and the chase is back on.

The Fire Station

At least until Lance finds the door to the local fire station and is able to et inside. The respite doesn’t last long, the biter slips under a partially open garage door.

Lucky for Lance, its a fire station, and that means there’s an axe…

Fire Axe

Bad news for Lance is that he’s scared sh*tless and instead of using that axe to take out the biter, he gets it stuck in a locker and forced to run again.

As he’s running down the street, he sees another survivor, and screams for help as he runs into the town library. Just when we think Lance is going to get caught, he’s saved by a stranger.

No good deed goes unpunished though. Alone ends with Lance picking up a stone bowl, coming up behind his savior, who it appears has been bitten. There is no mercy for the infected.

Alone Scoring

Alone was an intense episode and deserves every one of the 82/100 points it earned. What cost it some points? Lance screaming when there are biters around, and the fully stocked grocery store cost it a few, and then the simple fact that this episode was really a Lance versus a single biter. It was good, but I do like a good horde thrown in for good measure.

Z Nation, Season 1, Episode 11

Sisters of Mercy is another classic episode of Z Nation. Team Murphy is whole again, at least for a little while. Addy and Mack stumble upon the rest of the group in what looks like the bowels of an industrial complex.

The team finds a ride and starts heading west again. Once on the open read, they encounter a zombie child.

Zombie Child

Shortly after, they encounter a very similar young man, this time alive. He tells Warren he’s walking to the city to meet his dad. Warren tries to talk him out of it, but the only thing that gets him to get in the truck is the promise of a ride into the city, if he’ll help them find some food.

The kid leads Team Murphy back to the Sisters of Mercy, which is where we find out just how f*cked up surviving the Zombie Apocalypses can be. There are no men allowed inside the compound, and Warren, Addy, and Cassandra quickly find out that the kids walking to Salt Lake City are basically being put out to die. No male older than 13 is allowed to stay.

One of the bits of awesomeness from this episode is the Zombie Bear of punishment. You don’t want to be punished by the Sisters of Mercy.

Sisters of Mercy Scoring

Sisters of Mercy ends with a little bit of a shock, as Team Murphy loses one of their number to the sisters, but this was a great episode that scored a 82/100, making it Worth Your Time.
