Caught it tonight by chance, and against ALL my better judgment...
I LOVED IT.


It's like Forever Knight, Medium, The Greatest American Hero, and Zombieland all rolled into one. Can't wait to see where they go with this one. It has potential to be a lot of fun

Which is good 'cuz half the stuff I watch is prolly getting axed this year...I could use some new blood

Was it on broadcast? I thought it was going to be on Tuesday. Looked interesting, but Tuesday is a crowded night on TV. I'd watch if it was Wed, Thur, Friday.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


It's up against SHIELD on Tuesdays, but also repeated on Friday. I watched it last week, and although I liked it quite a bit I will probably watch SHIELD live this week and catch iZombie on Hulu.

Wishy, I didn't think of any of the shows you mentioned. A lot of buzz was comparing it to Veronica Mars, first because it's Rob Thomas, second the criminal investigations and then the voice-over. But I would compare it most closely with Pushing Daisies.

Forever Knight in that she's already trying to figure out how to work with it and not let anyone know and possibly fix herself, Medium in that she has visions, GAH in that she has wacky superpowers she's trying to figure out, and Zombieland for the tongue-in-cheek Zombie atmosphere. I never caught Pushing Daisies because by the time someone I know said it was good, it was cancelled so I just didn't bother...

I'm sure every persons comparisons will vary.

I don't know why but I keep passing it up. I will have to make a point of watching it.

I think you've only missed one episode at this point.

I thought it was okay, but not great. It wants to be "the next Veronica Mars" (and therefore the "next next Buffy") so hard that it hurts.

Mostly, it made me want to go back and re-watch TRU CALLING. Was that REALLY Zach Galafanakis?

omg I loved it too. I was hopeful going in to it that it would capture some Veronica Mars magic and it delivered. It almost felt like the lead actress was trying to pull of Kristen Bell's mannerisms when she was playing Veronica. So many little things matched up really well. Since I loved Veronica Mars I really liked the feel of the show. I'm not entirely sure where they're going with the show, but I'll be back for more that's for sure.

However, I too will be making SHIELD my primary show and I'll be catching the rerun of iZombie on Fridays. At least for now.

That's another one I never got around to. Just picky, I guess.

Don't ever be that picky. Veronica Mars is great!

It's sooo hard for me to get into new shows. Unless I just catch a funny moment and go looking for more or the promo looks specifically up my alley I usually don't go there, especially with female leads. I'm not a "gal's gal". I usually find other women just obnoxious. Can't fight biology. If I get a chance I'll look it up though, no guarantees...

I CAN say if I see ANOTHER FEMALE CHARACTER WAFFLE BETWEEN TWO MEN AND THEN END UP KNOCKED UP I AM GOING TO SHOOT ME SOME PRODUCERS!!!!

PLEASE ......MAKE IT STOP!

Are you claiming that is not just the natural tendency of women? I see that all the time.

The second episode was even better than the first. Good to see David Anders will be at least a recurring character.

You gotta find you a better class of losers. I don't personally know a single woman that's done that. I know a lot of women who didn't intend to get knocked up, but all of them know who did the knockin'.

I see that on TV all the time, so it must be true. Plus the internet.

I see what you did there

I have to think that the actresses get pregnant and they just try to make it as dramatic as possible, by adding in another guy. In the real world that would just be obnoxious. Maybe they think all women want two men fighting over who gets to impregnate them (ewwwww), but I think most of us just want ONE person to get off their duff and show an ounce of passion, yanno...in between Facebook updates and Bloodygorygame #12 marathons...

At one point in my life it dawned on me that America is chock full of females who really believe that soap operas are true - not exactly those actresses and character names, but with the names changed to protect the innocent - that those types of people really do exist, and these women act accordingly. That was a shock to my view of American superiority.

I caught the episode last night, which I guess was the encore of the second ep. How important was the pilot?

I got the impression the coworker interaction was like Forever Knight and Sentinel. The ability absorption from Heroes.

Don't think I have seen Medium. edit: now looked at imdb, glad I never did. Crazy rich white woman actress pretending to be a medium. Gets visions IN HER DREAMS. Mediums don't get their visions in Dreams.

Not that I'm calling myself a Medium, but when I was 11 I had a dream I got bit by a dog and a week later we went to visit my aunt (did not know beforehand and had not been there in years) and I got bit by a dog...

Well, I will predict how iZombie ends:
Quote:

I never really left my hometown, when I was alive or after I died. Now, I'll be traveling to places I never could have imagined. Some people look at death as the end of the world. But for me, it was just the beginning. My name was Gwen Dylan, but I'm no longer the girl I used to be . . . The End
That's not truly psychic because it is from the last page of the final issue of iZombie, the comic, in 2012.

MEDIUM is not equivalent with precognitive.
MEDIUM is not equivalent with Deja Vu.
MEDIUM is not equivalent with prescient.

Expected it.
