Spoiler Alert--if you haven't watched it well, you'll get spoiled.
Here's my recap.
Brother Can You Spare A Brain
Teleplay by Diane Ruggerio-Wright
Directed by John Kretchmer
Unless the show is Empire or—well I’m not sure what but I’m
certain that there are others where the second one is better than the pilot—I was
prepared for a little bit of a letdown.
It came, but not as low as I thought it would be. The reason for that
would be the introduction of Blane—the other zombie.
First the crime storyline, the brain of the week was an
artist who was given a paintbrush through his eye socket. Clive says it is
always the wife, but is disappointed when Ravi says that the murderer had to be
far taller than the wife.
Live is looking for the zombie who turned her into a zombie.
She’s been dreaming of him and with the newfound talent from the artist’s brain
does a very good sketch. Enter Blane.
Blane seems like a nice guy—he’s happy to be a guinea pig
for Ravi and seems to have fun bonding with Liv over all they have lost. He
seems genuinely distressed that he made her a zombie. He asks if she can get
him some brains as he has cut all the bad people out of his life. When Liv makes her special brain
delivery she sees him doing what seems to be a drug deal and goes away.
What Blane was really doing was stopping the drug dealers—and
getting dinner at the same time. He also got lucky and made another lady
zombie—Jackie. I believe she’s going to be big.
At first I believed Blane. I was sad that there were two out
there who were infected with the zombie virus. As the episode progressed he
became more chaotic good. Now I’d
say he’s chaotic neutral and all the more interesting for it. It doesn’t hurt that he’s really nice
to look at too.
He is easier to watch than Major. While Major is sweet and
perfect boyfriend material and I can see how much she cared for him. It begs
the question why on earth she didn’t confide in him about her desire to eat
brains. Major brings back Liv’s box of stuff. Then, later, after the mystery is
solved Olivia goes over to Major’s house and tries to do him. Major is having
none of it—she’s been icing him out for six months and he needs more.
Regarding storyline one—at a party, they realized that if
the murerer was on the steps, the woman could have done it. I did enjoy the fact that it was always
the spouse.
Line of the week runner up:
Olivia: She mostly talked about God.
Look of the week runner up: Liv starting to paint for the
first time
Look of the week: The look on Blane’s face before he goes
all zombie on the guys in the car.
Line of the week:
Olvia: I think he’s a liar and he’s just using me for my
brains—Their brains.
