Zombies, by most definitions, are mindless (or at least personality-less) creatures, driven solely by either their master's orders (for really old school zombies) or pure instinct (for post-Romero zombies). That Liv and Major retain their higher functions means they're not quite zombies.

That's always been Liv's role, though. The procedural aspect of the show requires that Liv never become so wrapped up in a storyline that she's unable or unwilling to spend most of an episode solving the case-of-the-week and showing off new brain quirks, which leaves most of the story arc stuff to characters like

I am seriously disappointed in this show. Right before Peyton pulls Blaine into her bedroom to have sex, he asks her how she takes her coffee, and she DOESN'T say, "With cream."

Peyton mentioned that he seemed brave for informing on Mr. Boss back when she thought he was just a low-level drug dealer without any violent crimes in his past.

Except, as Caroline pointed out, they're ALL murderers: him, her, most of their friends. They've all done horrible things, so none of them are really in a position to judge each other over their past misdeeds.

Unless she uses it on her captor, turning him human and erasing his memories, so he can no longer remember why he should be holding her captive, and even if he did remember, he'd at least be a regular guy up against someone with zombie strength.

Originally, they kept Blaine alive because, with him gone, his zombie clients won't get their regular brain deliveries and turn to killing random people for their meals. Now they're keeping him alive because he (at least appears to be) a completely different person, in a very literal sense of the word.

That would make the most sense. If he was faking the whole time, then he knows the jig will be up as soon as Major takes the cure and doesn't lose his memories, so it's not really a great plan. But if he got his memories restored by the serum, but pretends it didn't work, then they're not going to try the serum on

Technically, folks like Liv and Major aren't zombies in the traditional sense. They're people who are transitioning into zombies (mindless walking corpses), but are able to prolong the process indefinitely by eating brains on a regular basis.

I dunno, the way Arrested Development brought the "Mr. F" and "You're a crook, Captain Hook" musical lines back at key moments is just the tops for me, though it's a bit of a different sort of thing.

Then they'd get into a debate where 2017!Barry says he's not from the past, he's from the present, and this is the future. And 2024!Barry insists, no, he's from the past and is in the present right now. Sort of a rehash of Harry saying that Earth 1 is, from his perspective, Earth 2.

Though Beast Boy wishes he's career as an entertainer went as well as H.R.'s.

I definitely thought it was Ronnie. What we saw of Savitar's build and hair from behind definitely looked like Ronnie, and it's hard to imagine anyone else getting that reaction from Caitlyn (Earth 2 Ronnie was the only person Earth 2 Killer Frost had a soft spot for, after all) but then they cut to black before we

Joe does apparently need glasses in 2024.

You're reminding me of that scene from Angel where Wesley is talking about how he's descended into such a dark place, then Willow pipes in "I flayed a guy alive and tried to destroy the world." And he's just like, ". . . Oh."

"It's weird to say, but the animated Teen Titans show…actually did this
episode better. I really do love this show, but Season 3 is starting to
be a real drag."

It may be a sort of honor thing, giving them a chance to surrender before attacking them.

" 'Dear Homer, IOU one emergency donut, signed Homer.' Bastard! He's always one step ahead!"

So Savitar is definitely Ronnie Raymond escaped from the black hole, right?

She, like most people, knows what a singularity is, just not by that name; most of us call them black holes.
