Eh,

He infected 10,000 people with an incurable virus that encourages cannibalism and tried to blackmail the United States into providing him the brains they needed, only for it to backfire horribly when they just walled off the city. So he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist but he's one that did a massive number of unforgivable actions in the process. Basically, he thought he was a Magnificent Bastard but was a Smug Snake instead.

Uh, no. His assistant went on with the plan, he was left with dealing with what had happened. He and his sister wanted to create Zombie Island - zombies isolating themselves from the mainland.

Yes, but he went with Plan B.

He's the one who enacted it.

Which makes it all the crazier as he played right into her hands.

Well, he suddenly had to deal with the fact that there were several thousand zombies in Seattle and that everyone knew it. If he did nothing, the US Army would come and exterminate them all.

Well the plague wasn't a zombie plague.

All the people dying of flu were just going to die.

He chose to make them zombies.

Again, I think that was Carey Gold's plan being enacted. If memory serves the vaccines were already being corrupted when he realized what happened and got rid of her. Once that was done, he pretty much had no choice but to go along with what she did, but the contamination wasn't on him. That's actually a plot point - Liv initially thinks that his dog was used as a vector for the flu but it's a Red Herring.

I don't think that's the case but it does change things whether he enacted the plan or not.

Romantic Comedy Episode thoughts:

  • I loved Ravi as the most eligible bachelor on zombie/human night.
  • Is the bad guy a serial killer or luring women to Seattle so he can harvest their brains for 25K a pop?
  • I'm surprised Chase didn't go to Blaine to take him up on that deal he made earlier to import brains from wartorn countries.

Wrestler brain. A shame it's not lasting for longer.

Also, I figure we shouldn't grow too attached to Major's cadets.

I thought I'd like the girl. But actually, it's the guy that's cool.

They're clearly sacrificial though.

Speaking of sacrificial, as Liv's probable next boyfriend, that hockey player, considering the track record of the others. A shame, he's handsome.

I think this season suffered for:

1. The Coyote plotline is objectively making the city of Seattle a worse place.

2. Oh, another of Liv's boyfriends is dead. Neat.

I'm not sure the show can recover from the Big Reveal.

As much as I love Rose Mc Iver.
