Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureI'm torn between disappointed that this thread isn't a huge sprawling mess because it means few tropers are watching it, and being thrilled that this thread isn't a huge sprawling mess so I don't have to read so much.
Loving the hell out of this show so far.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

I guess we might need to wait for DVD of the first season to come out so people can watch the season before Season 2.
I like this show as well which is weird because this was the one DC show I wasn't looking forward to when it was first announced and the first promotional image was shown. I don't like zombie movies and stuff, but after seeing the promotional trailers and commercials for it I started getting looking forward to watching the premiere.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureI wasn't excited for it either until I found out it was being run by Rob Thomas.
All four episodes are on Hulu, I don't think we're at the point where anyone has to wait an entire season to try jumping on.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Lets see: Paranoid Liv was much less aware of the fact that this was an altered state of mind than the previous examples of Liv being under the influence - Presumably because this was not as great a leap from her base-line state of mind? The world kind is out to get her, after all. Alternatively, the informer just wasn't a very self aware person, so.. hmm. It was fun to watch, and the actress is doing stellar work.
Liv's brother.: Totally being a teenage-hormones mini-stalker about his sisters wife. Bad brother. No biscuit. Played for laughs, and it was funny, but a bit uncomfortable kind of funny. On the plus side, good vibrator joke, and no, not using it right - The Hitachi can totally fix the knots in your back on the low setting! ;)
Liv being territorial about Major: Not a plot line I like one tiny bit. Ravi and Major's scenes were good, but keeping him in her orbit without telling him the facts is a gender-flip of the usual "I must keep my love-interest ignorant for her own protection, oh woe and angst" which plagues genre shows and it is in no way any more tolerable because the genders of the people involved are reversed.
Blaine: Being a zombie: Not a cure for anti-social personality disorder. Superficial charm, murderous methods. Really good villain, and the bit characters in this plot line were just stellar all around. Not that his plot is in any way, shape or form *workable* but I can completely believe that this character would attempt this plot.

Liv's brother: Am I the only one who got a gay vibe off him? Maybe it's just because he's gratuitously pretty.
Major: I think, of all the secrets to hide from your loved ones, "I'm a zombie" is one of the justified ones. How would a normal person react to something like that? Ravi doesn't count. Even if they had the best of intentions, they could quite justifiably call the CDC and accidentally get you vivisected.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.All the supporting characters of Blaine's plotline were good.

.. so you read him creeping on Peytons stuff as an attempt to.. provoke his sister into coming out?
Didn't think of that, but if he is gay, then "My sister is a big old closet case" is a very logical conclusion for him to jump to, what with the room mate she's been living with forever, the mysteriously broken off engagement, ect. Still, wouldn't it be simpler for him to just.. ask? Or Tell?
Back to Major: Not saying she is obligated to tell him. I am saying she is obligated to either let him go or tell him. Because trying to keep him hanging around and ignorant both is just cruel.

I wasn't responding to your post about Liv's brother, I was just musing on him in general.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.I've heard that an episode preview shows him stating that he's gay, in which case his earlier lecherous behavior may have been overcompensating (Liv's mother might be more willing to accept a pervy, heterosexual son than a gay one).
Victim of the Week knew kung fu, which I guess could be kind of offensive, because an Asian guy OBVIOUSLY knows kung fu, right?
Something tells me Blaine's going to expand too fast and risk a Zombie Apocalypse.

Yeah I thought that but then I thought they wouldn't kill off a main character on the 5th episode.

So, the third episode. I like how this show does not really feel like a procedural so far. Like it's a series that just happens to be a procedural, with the personal stories getting equal if not more focus. It's a balance you don't see often and it makes the show stick out more in the great swamp that is police procedurals.
You lost!
