So I had a thought. What's stopping Blaine from just asking one of his zombie clients to just change him back?

[up]Nothing unless the cure somehow makes you immune to becoming one again.

They didn't finish running all the test when Blaine was cured Liv said you're my guinia pig now.

Yeah, Blaine may drop dead soon. Or there may be side effects. Anyway, I don't think Blaine enjoyed being a zombie - he simply got the most out of it, but his last scene makes it plenty clear that having normal senses feels damn good to him.

At the same time there needs to be some kind of zombie opposing Liv. If she was willing to go zombie mode very few people would be an actual threat to her.

The Max Rager CEO had that Skunk Stripe at the end. And even if he's not a zombie, he's well aware she is, while she didn't even consider that the company would know about the full scope of the problem. As Major showed, zombies aren't too hard to handle if you know they're zombies.

I tend to disagree with that last one. Major won because he surprised the zombies of Meat Cute, and most of them were pretty dumb to being with. Blaine specifically recruited them to be Dumb Muscle, so of course they would not be ready for someone determined to kill them. Had a guy like Sebastian had time to understand how zombism worked, he would have been a much more formidable opponent.

Fair point, but Liv is not exactly some paranoid badass who is always prepared for a fight. If Max Rager decides to kill her, they'll wait until she's walking home one night and shoot her in the head.

That's true, but you can do that with anyone really, it's just slightly harder when the target is a zombie, because of full-zombie mode. And Liv is one of the few zombies who don't even bother looking human in the first place - how do you find a zombie if s/he dyed his/her hair and colored his/her skin?

I just looked up the cast for last episode, and Blaines goons (aside from Julien) are listed as "Zom-A" and "Zom-B". grin

[up]that was very stupid, and did a lot of damage to my good opinion of Liv's character. I so wanted her to just go "I'm sure your phone has a contact list" and shoot him. Or murder him *after* curing him so she could eat his brains. Because letting him live after he ranted to her face that he was going to keep killing and turning people was just utterly fracking daft. His argument holds *no* water. I've seen people make it on the internet, but they are just rationalixing keeping him around, and Liv of all people should not buy into that logic.

I would have been okay with Blaine *escaping*. Liv isn't an action hero, and Blaine managing run the heck away with his hide intact wouldn't have been out of line. Its the "have him dead to rights. Again. Let him go. Again. bit that is pissing me off.

She's not a killer and she was taking care of Major. Probably way too frazzled by it all to think clearly there.

The problem is that she resolved to kill him the last time, and then instead she out and out did him a solid, right after he gave a "I am an unrepentant blackguard" speech. I mean,, Blaine being "volunteered" for the human trials subject of the zombie cure? That's actively clever. Except she part where she let the asshat go. For all she knows he'll just reinfect himself tommorrow. She ought to have put him in a slightly larger version of the cage they use for the rats if she isn't up for putting him in the ground. Seriously, this was not good plotting. Characters can have plot armor, but it ought never to be visible to the audience, and in this case, you could tell when Blaine was about to enter a scene because the clanking was audible from 3 counties over.

How the fuck was she supposed to manage that?

Nah, it is not sloppy writing for Liv not to kill Blaine. It is logical.

Major just learned she was a zombie - so, in his eyes, a "monster". His opinion matters, especially since he is dying in large part because Liv decided to keep him in the dark (had he known before what the threat was, he would have reacted differently). So killing someone in cold blood (she is not in full-zombie mode) right on the spot would be throwing away the remnants of her humanity, crossing a line that would make a cure pointless. I am happy she refused.

[up][up]

"Violence"? "Sitting on him until the cops get there"? He's human, putting him in a perfectly ordinary prison cell no longer constitutes a biohazard to the other inmates or guards, and given that he no longer has the rage and also had a bullet in him, he could not win any fight. She had a lot of leeway between "let him walk free" and "murder", even if I am of the opinion she ought really to have just gone straight to "murder". Most of the more elegant solutions would require prep-work, but really, given that she had been gunning for his ass for weeks, she *ought* to have come with groundwork laid. Evidence she could turn over to the authorities, or alternatively somewhere to hold him extra-legally.
