It thoroughly blew my mind when I imdb'd Maslany and discovered she'd played Ghost.

Dittos to everything you said. That was my interpretation exactly (right down to the last paragraph)

That was my alternate theory…

I can't argue because it's like saying fish is spoon. It's gobbledygook

I can't even argue with this because it doesn't have any logic to counter. It's pure crazy talk.

That was the first fake show joke that made me laugh since the Butcher and the Baker in the season premiere

It just occurred to me— Liv's vision of Blaine tormenting Jerome was only triggered because she randomly happened to see Blaine. I don't think we can actually assume that everyone eating the brains will have visions of how the person died, or even that that would be an expectation/worry that the suppliers would have.…

I didn't get it… isn't it a Christmas song? Seemed entirely off the nose to me. Maybe I'm dumb.

Well, there was some pretty Major firepower in that trunk

I get it, you don't want your boyf drooling over Rose McIver. It's understandable. Every ep her jeans do get a little tighter…

And Buffy and VM would regularly play with the genre conventions/expectations to produce genuine surprises in the monster/case of the week stories

We know that fingernail scratches cause zombification, but do bites? The rat bit him, right? It would be pretty cheap for the show to back off RavZombie after that scene, though…

I get the sense that there are people who are "part of the operation" and there are people who are customers. Like I said a few weeks back, rich rock star seems just the kind of person Blaine would zombify to be a customer, not an employee.

*slow clap*

Liv isn't Abed, she doesn't realize she's in a TV show…

All these upvotes! I'm gonna have to let Tyrion ghost-write all my posts from here on

Specifically, it was Theta Protocol, AKA the refurbished helicarrier, that saved thousands of lives.

I don't know that she necessarily got rid of Cal, though… more used him as a Trojan Horse

She was right about people acting out of fear, but was blind to the fact that she was acting equally (if not moreso) out of fear. I could get all Psych 101 here, but I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.

I learned my lesson from having AoS spoil the biggest plot twist in The Winter Soldier and made sure to watch Ultron over the weekend. The appearance of the old helicarrier wasn't as big a twist as HYDRA infiltrating SHIELD, but I'm still glad the theta protocol was a mystery.
