geebsTV commentary:
iZombie- Damn, poor Liv. So she and Lowell fight and make up over the whole him buying brains from Blaine thing. He didn't know, or rather didn't want to know. But Ravi tells Liv, not everyone was lucky to get a job with an all access pass to brains, and not everyone has the luxury of picking and choosing how they get them. Lowell does see the light though and swears off the program. And then Liv resolves to kill Blaine, since the case of the week had her getting sniper brains.
She and Lowell plan to set him up by having Lowell invite him to hang at a BBQ since Blaine thinks Lowell is cool because he's a rock star. But, she gets Blaine in her sights and just can't do it. Unfortunately, Lowell finally does get a flash of Major's friends death like Liv did, and he's angry. He mouths to Liv across the way that he loves her before trying to kill Blaine. Only, he freaking stabs him in the arm, so Blaine pulls out a gun and pops him in the head, with Liv watching in horror.
Things aren't great for Major either. He hasn't come to the zombie conclusion yet, thinking instead that people are trying to use brains as a crazy steroid. Hilariously, he goes to a gym all, "yeah, I'm looking to eat brains to get ripped!" Unfortunately, that gets to that one henchman, who tries to kill Major at home, but Major shoots him. Unfortunately, not in the head, so after he calls Clive over about the guy he just killed, there's no body, so Clive just thinks he's kinda nuts. And Major might be starting to think so too.
At least Ravi is not a zombie, which he thinks its because it can't cross species boundaries. But didn't he infect them initially using samples from human zombies?
And it looks like Blaine's business is going to start getting a little out of control. One of his clients, a super rich guy, is sick of eating homeless runaways, and he wants Blaine to get him the brain of a famous astronaut, with money being no object.
Finding Carter- Woah, that was out of nowhere! I mean, Gabe said he was going to try and get with Abby, but they just like fast forwarded to him being with her. That is interesting that they didn't hold back with it though, with Bird asking him if he'd be okay with it if it were here with an older male teacher. But at the same time, it does seem whenever they do the male student/female teacher thing, it does go this route where there's scandal, but then you have shows like PLL where chicks are going out with teachers and they don't even try to discourage it.
Interesting though, it sounds like Taylor's depressed, without her actually saying the depression word. I mean, they think its because she's upset that Lori is her real mother, and thus she's forever linked to them. Do they not worry, that since Lori is obviously nuts, that she might have an illness that's genetic and that might've passed on to one of them.
And ha, Grant calls out Liz and David on being shitty parents who forget about him, and then they commiserate together, telling each other they're fine parents. And so they sit him down, and he's all, "well, my shrink told me to be more honest, so, you guys suck, and I want to live with Grandma and Grandpa!"
Arrow- That was a surprise! No real cliffhanger ending, the gang saves the day, nothing hanging over their heads. Actually, there's one thing, but more on that later.
But ha, yeah, I guess Oliver did take a quick break after the marriage to help out Barry. Which, Ra's just allowed that? Oh sure, take a break from destroying Starling City to help out your friend in Central City. But yeah, the favor he asked of Barry was to free the gang from Nanda Parbat, which apparently was no problem for Barry to just take out the whole league single handedly. And the gang survived because Malcolm and Ollie had formulated a cure from Ollie's blood, and Malcolm secretly administered it to them via subdermal patch in his palm.
Ollie's plan was to blow himself on the plane to Starling City, but since that failed, he and the gang regroup back in the city to figure out a plan to stop Ra's. Not that they're not pissed at Ollie for keeping them in the dark. But they work through it, stopping the virus with Ollie killing Ra's.
In the end, Ollie gives the mantle of Ra's to Malcolm, with Nyssa telling Malcolm "like this wasn't your master plan all along!" He also leaves the vigilantism to the team, with Thea taking the mantle of Speedy. Since he's taking a break now, now he can ride off into the sunset with Felicity. The only loose end is Ray, who's working on miniaturization, and ends up blowing himself and the top floor of his building. Obviously he's not dead, I'm guessing he'll end up accidentally being miniaturized, and the beginning of the next season of one of the DC shows will resolve that.
