My wife and I watched iZombie last night.


My wife and I watched iZombie last night. Veronica Mars with zombies is accurate. But that's fine because I loved Veronica Mars. Characters were all good. The only complaint I have is that "visions" are kind of a lazy storytelling device. They can be doled out any time to move the story along.

    What's the show's theory of zombism?  What are the rules?

    Seem to have been created by a designer drug. Zombies are real, but there's no apocalypse yet. No one believes in zombies yet. She has to eat brains or she'll get dumber and turn into a shambling monster. She gets memories from the brains she eats, and since she works in a morgue, that means she can eat a murder victim's brain and then solve their murder. She also gets some of the person's mannerisms, so in this first episode she got kleptomania.

    Benjamin Baugh The rules are as follows:

    1. Be cute
    2. Have weird eye makeup/contacts
    3. Bedhead

    I liked it. The flashback is no more gimmicky than the detectives being given clues after the commercial break in any other investigative procedural.

    My hope is that some day my kids' generation will look back on our tv shows and comment, "they sure fade to black and then back instantly a lot.  Then they reiterate what they just said."  I can see that now while watching series on streaming services.

    It's like someone read the comic CHEW and mashed it up with zombies.

    She is a low energy protagonist. Though it seems like she'll be picking up.

    I hadn't heard of that one, Lex Larson. Another for the list.

    From the actor's perspective, it sounds a little like Quantum Leap.  I'd be interested in reading a comparison to that series as well since the main character will be taking on a different persona each episode.

    Lex Larson it was a Vertigo comic title before getting the TV treatment. But as Casey Garske said I need to go search out CHEW now

    Yeah, I didn't know iZombie was a comic first until I saw the comic-style opening credits.

    I think you're both going to enjoy CHEW!

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
