TV commentary:

Better Call Saul- So obviously this show is supposed to be about Jimmy's journey to becoming Saul Goodman. But it also seems to be showing us how Mike became who he is. Which is fine, though it does make for some weird narrative. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

iZombie- You know, sometimes I forget this is a Rob Thomas show (even though it has all his hallmarks and a shared cast), which in turn makes me forget my favorite part of his shows, the consistent recurring cast. Like I said with Veronica Mars, it makes the universe seem real when they run into the same people again, instead of having totally different people whom we never see again.

Of course, it was easier to remember in VM, particularly the first two seasons, since it was HS, so its easy to see the recurring characters because many of them are classmates of Veronica. But here, like these past few eps, I'm totally missing people have been on this show before until they point it out. Like this ep, I didn't realize frat boy was from a previous ep until he recognized Liv. ( spoiler cut )

Faking It- You know, since I first saw Mckaley Miller on Hart of Dixie where she was just a kid, it totally weirds me out that she's apparently a love interest for Liam. I mean, that show started five years ago, so I guess age wise, it actually matches, but it still seems like he's too old for her. ( spoiler cut )
