It has always seemed to me that, as a former drug dealing hustler, Blaine walks into the situation with a certain mindset. First he turns Jackie like a pimp. Then he gets her hooked on his product. He basically invented the whole brains as heroin scheme. I think his clients should be viewed as drug addicts who have no…

There was even a kick-ass fight scene.

I think the whole zombie vs vampire debate is classist. The source for your first vampire, Vlad the Impaler, was the Prince of Wallachia, and a member of the House of Drăculești.

The concept of a lighthearted crime procedural is a demo?

Or pickled brains for the hipster zombie crowd.

Um, none of the character are teenagers(except Liv's brother).

She did mention that she doesn't make a habit of killing and eating people she knew before throwing down.

It does give her a chance to explore her range.
