I liked it.
Something that’s not quite clear so far–is it generally known in this world that zombies actually exist, or was her boss just a conspiracy theorist who’s been proven right?
If the former, eating brains is gonna get you talked about ENTIRELY differently. If not, then you’d think they would have mentioned it during the intervention. “You quit your job, became a ME, bleached your hair, and you’re eating brains…”
Who the hell names their son Major? Mr. & Mrs. Lilywhite, that’s who.
Her flash at the end showed the guy on the boat in zombie-mode eating someone, and since it’s been five months he must be the same as her, capable of hiding the condition. Plus, if you watch The CW at all, he’s the guy Central Casting sends over when you request an narcissistic bad guy for a recurring role.
He’s Sark from Alias, I think.
Expected it to underwhelm but ended up enjoying it. It’s not Pushing Daisiesbut I’ll give it another go.
Zombies are well known from films, etc, but it seems few know of the real zombies. Pretty much it’s her, her boss and the zombie guy who made the designer drug (this last is conjecture) .
I would really love a werepoodle character…
Also in Once Upon A Time, Vampire Diaries, 24, Heroes…
Loved that the lawyer from Veronica Mars was the sleazy weatherman Johnny Frost in the pilot too.
Yeah, you know when David Anders shows up, it isn’t going to be in a little throwaway part.
I liked it, though it’s essentially Pushing Daisies meets Warm Bodies.
Will watch again. Not bad. Not bad at all.
I wonder if the abilities she picks up are permanent?
Excellent second episode! Yeah, the case of the week was case-of-the-week-like (but it was great that the detective was right all along), but I really enjoyed the introduction of the villain and Liv’s attempts to try to deal with the fact that she’s a zombie and what that means.
epbrown01, I think this ep answered the question that the abilities aren’t permanent (as she had to go back to the brain to keep the new abilities going).
And I was little surprised to read in Entertainment Weekly that she keeps her powers “until she poops.” Their words.
I see a future episode with a constipation subplot 
I was intrigued. I do feel the Veronica Mars kinda vibe. It is fun. I like the lead. The boss is amusing with his realizing she’s a zombie and not freaking out - I guess because she’s not running around killing people and getting her brains safely from corpses.
Saw an interview with Rose McIver and she says she coined the phrase ZILF - Zombie I’d Like to Fondle – because doing anything more with a zombie has too many implications.
At least she’s not a rotting corpse, pieces falling off zombie. She’s more of a vampire without fangs zombie.
So, this week with the zombie dude, did he figure out his plan from her? Decide there was money to be made being the official zombie brain dealer - just gotta build up a clientele?
Of course, that still leaves the problem she’s a cannibal/human predator… which is a good reason not to let the general public know about zombies. Just because she’s a nice person/good zombie doesn’t mean they all are… as we’ve seen this latest episode.
I really like it, aside from the teenage love story angst that the CW throws into everything (even when the characters aren’t teens). It takes a lot for a tv show to make me laugh out loud, but the line “Cagney and Pasty” in the second episode did it. Kudos. 
That’s exactly it. This could have been a pretty routine show. I remember when I used to watch Veronica Mars and after every episode I felt that it had been done better than I would have expected. I get the same feeling with this show. I credit Rob Thomas - he takes a formula and gives it an extra step.
I was vaguely expecting (maybe even hoping for) a scene where she’s painting, using the skill she absorbed, but gradually her work becomes clumsier and more amateur as the memories and talents fade. It’d be vaguely sad in a Flowers for Algernon kind of way - the painter’s skills, thought lost at his death and given a brief resurrection in her, are now gone for good. Tears in rain.
