iZombie - Episode 1.13 - Blaine's World (Season Finale) - Sneak Peek *Updated*

Wow!!! That was an awesome and definitely the best ep of season 1! Absolutely worthy for a finale!
iZombie now is one of my favorite shows, I love it. For me THE positive surprise of season 2014/2015, just like The 100 last year ...
Somehow The CW must do quite something right with their choice of shows.
Damn, now I have to wait for season 2, that's gonna be the longest wait besides the wait for PoI and Continuum ...

Ok, here are some interesting articles after the great S1 finale:

Zombie postmortem: What's next now that Liv's secret is out?

Warning: This story contains spoilers from the season finale of iZombie. Read at your own risk!

Liv’s big secret isn’t really that secret anymore.
During Tuesday’s iZombie finale, Major (Robert Buckley) attempted to wipe out Blaine (David Anders) and his crew at Meat Cute after escaping their clutches. Alas, he was stabbed in the process, so Liv (Rose McIver) was forced to scratch him to turn him into a zombie. Naturally, Major was pissed that he wasn’t given the choice to become a zombie—and that Liv had been lying to him the whole time—so Liv gave half the cure to him… and the other half to Blaine!
However, Liv’s brother (Nick Purcha) still showed up for his first day at work at Meat Cute just as Lieutenant Suzuki (Hiro Kanagawa) blew the place up. And the only thing that can save her bro? Liv’s blood, which she declines to give up. Is Liv’s life about to blow up? EW caught up with executive producer Rob Thomas to get the scoop on season 2:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Now that Major knows the truth, how does that change his relationship with Liv?
ROB THOMAS: We’re starting to break season 2 right now. He’s not happy with her as the season begins. We’re going to pick up the show a few months after the finale. Major still is not happy with Liv as we move forward.

Does Liv giving him the cure possibly thaw things between them?
What he’s mad about is the same stuff that everyone in my Twitter feed is mad about in terms of feeling like Liv should’ve told him much earlier, and should’ve trusted him with that information, and that she let him go into a mental hospital and doubt his own sanity rather than tell him.

This is a tough place for Liv to be when she gives Major the other half of the cure. How does Liv feel about losing her chance to become human, sacrificing being with Major once again and setting back the cure process? Is she in a bad state when the show returns?
Yeah, as a matter of fact she is for all the reasons you just listed. I don’t think she regrets giving Major the cure, but I do think that she would do almost anything to be human again. It has not escaped her that she had that shot and passed it up. As we go into season 2, they’re missing the tainted Utopium, which might allow them to make more. Ravi’s (Rahul Kohli) holy grail in season 2 is trying to track that down. I’m glad you picked up on all those things because there’s so much going on in that final episode that Liv never slows down to even let the audience consider the fact that she’s giving up her own shot when she gives Major that injection.

How will Blaine feel about being human again?
He loves not being a zombie. That said, it’s not good for his business model. In fact, I think we’re going to have a lot of fun next year with Blaine trying to pass for zombie with his clientele. It will be a very dangerous position to be in if his zombie customers are no longer frightened by him. If much of season 1 was about trying to pass as human while zombie, for Blaine in season 2, he’s going to try to pass for zombie as a human.

Will Major or Blaine suffer from any side effects from the cure next season?
I’m willing to tell you that much because I want there to be surprises, but yes, that cure is not perfect. There will absolutely be side effects. I’m not saying they’re heading toward death, but we have a mini-Flowers for Algernon story going on here with the rat. The rat is on the same cure that both Blaine and Major are. Whatever is going to happen to them may happen to that rat first.

Blaine threatened that zombies will overrun the city without him providing their meals. Is that one of the threats we’ll see in season 2?
Yes. That much is true. Also, in the finale, Vaughan (Steven Weber) lays down this gauntlet that will be a big part of the story for season 2. He says to his scientist, “You work on this Super Max and I will make sure to eliminate the zombie problem.” That’s going to be a new development in season 2. Zombies are going to start going missing. One of the things we want to do is make very strange bedfellows out of Liv and Blaine. They find themselves having to work together to fight a bigger evil.

We didn’t see Peyton (Aly Michalka) in the finale, but she also knows the truth about Liv. Is there anything you can tell us about where she went? A commenter in our recaps thinks she got scratched by Sebastian (Matthew MacCaull) and now she’ll be a zombie, too.
She didn’t, so that one is off the table, though maybe it’s not a bad idea. Maybe I should go back. [Laughs] We love Aly Michalka and the show is definitely better with her in it. She left to go do a pilot because she’s not a series regular. We had to write her off in a way that if we don’t have her available next year, it makes sense and we understand why she went away. But her pilot did not get ordered, which makes her available to us. We’re very hopeful of seeing more of her. In my mind, she’s bumming around Europe right now trying to get her head together.

Liv has declined to save her brother by giving him her blood. Is she going to have to reveal her zombism to her family?
That is one that I want to keep secret. That’s the question that I want fans discussing and seeing what they think before we launch in season 2. I know the answer to that question, but that’s one I want them thinking about.

Will Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) become more suspicious about the zombie situation next season?
It’s funny. I will reference my Twitter feed again: If I left it to my Twitter feed, Liv would’ve told everyone in episode 2. I like that there are secrets Liv is keeping. Somehow Clark Kent managed to keep it from Lois and Jimmy that he’s not Superman for 50 years. I’m hoping we can pull it off for two seasons with someone. That’s a different question than, “Will Clive ever land on zombies?” We’re breaking the first half of season 2 right now. It’s not on the board right now. At a certain point he may be presented with too much evidence. I never want to make him look dopey for not figuring it out. But right now there are no plans on it. We haven’t put it on the board yet.

My colleague Jeff Jensen was wondering whether you guys shot any alternate endings in case the show wasn’t renewed. Did you have any other plans?
No. We were feeling pretty good. Usually a network will warn you, “Hey, you might think about tying this up a bit.” We got no such warning, so we just plowed ahead.

iZombie returns to The CW this fall.

iZombie Boss on Liv and Major's (Sexless?) Future, Blaine's Tricky Challenge and Season 2's Big Bad

Warning: The following contains spoilers — of the major variety and about Major — for Tuesday’s season finale of iZombie.

Is the iZombie apocalypse upon us?
On Tuesday night’s Season 1 finale, Blaine gutted Major — forcing Liv to turn the love of her life into a zombie. Of course, the catalyst for all that drama was Major going all Taxi Driver on Meat Cute and taking out the brain dealer’s posse! (More on that awesome sequence below.) When Major argued that his ex didn’t really know him if she thought that was the kind of life he wanted, she injected him with the cure and prayed for the best.
Rather than killing Blaine — if he dies, the hungry zombies of Seattle will just eat everyone — an angry Liv stabbed him with the other half of the cure. Meanwhile, Max Rager unveiled its plans to be an even more evil empire by producing a crazy new energy drink. But first, they’ll need to eliminate their undead problem.
Finally, Liv’s brother got caught in the Meat Cute explosion, and she refused to donate her blood to save him for obvious reasons.
Below, executive producer Rob Thomas previews Season 2’s new foe, Liv and Blaine’s “strange bedfellows” partnership, Major’s new outlook on life and much more.

TVLINE | There’s not one, but at least three major cliffhangers in the finale. Was that always the plan, even before the show was renewed?
Yes. In fact, it’s been the plan for a long time. When we offered [Robert Buckley] the role of Major, he called me and said, “Listen, I just want to make sure that I’m not just going to be the boy that Liv pines for, that I’m going to have something to do,” and I pitched him the exact ending of the show. I said, “It’s going to end like Taxi Driver. You going into the zombie headquarters and mowing people down. You will have gone through this horrible journey. You will have this moment where you get to take out all these enemies.” So we were always building to that.
And probably around midseason, we had some ideas on how we wanted to reset for Season 2. We announce our big Season 2 storyline right there in the finale. Vaughan, the head of Max Rager, says, “We’re going to take out all the zombies.” So that will be a big part of Season 2, and it will make Liv and Blaine strange bedfellows. One of the things that was rough in Season 1 was we loved those two actors on screen together, but part of the season arc was Liv searching for Blaine. We couldn’t play them on screen. Next season, you’ll see a lot more of them on screen, at the same time, with a common enemy.



TVLINE | Is it safe to say that Blaine as a human, even without his zombie strength and rage, is still not a nice person and a dangerous threat to Liv and Major?
Yeah. We’re not going to make him cuddly next year. If you talked to me a few years ago, I would have thought, “Well, how in the world, after him spending Season 1 murdering homeless teenagers, could we ever believe him as anything but evil?” Then you watch Game of Thrones. Somehow, Jaime Lannister has become a sympathetic character even though he threw a young boy out a window in Episode 1. So it can be done, and maybe someday, we will attempt that. But for the immediate future, Blaine is bad.

TVLINE | Can he keep his business going as a human?
That’s going to be part of the fun of Season 2. He will need to trick his clientele. Next season, he may be passing as zombie in order to maintain the fear, which I think we’ll have fun with.

TVLINE | So instead of tanning, he’ll be putting on powder.
It’s funny you say that because we already have a scene up on our writers’ board in which we will see him getting powdered up in order to appear as a full-blooded zombie.

TVLINE | The Max Rager folks want to take out all the zombies. Does Suzuki taking himself out and pointing the finger at Blaine play into that?
We are going to make a meal of that moment. But that part of it is going to be Clive’s story in Season 2. Suzuki is going to get credit for being the hero of Meat Cute, and the police are going to very quickly and neatly wrap up that case, but Clive isn’t buying the story. He will be looking for Blaine and believing that Major has a connection to that. So that will be Clive’s great white whale of Season 2 — trying to solve that case.

TVLINE | If Liv’s brother dies, does that undo all the emotional progress she’s made?
Yeah, that would probably send her back into a pretty deep valley.



TVLINE | Major now knows the whole truth. What does that allow you to do that you couldn’t before with Major and his relationship with Liv?
Now that they both know, and Major knows what he’d be getting into, we’re toying with, could they try a romantic relationship in which no bodily fluids were exchanged? It’s sort of a great existential question of, could you have a romantic partner with whom the sexual limits were very, very strict? How would that go? We may explore that.

TVLINE | Now I think The CW should have paired the show with Jane the Virgin and done A Night of Abstinence.
[Laughs] That would be funny.

TVLINE | How changed is Major going to be in Season 2?
He has now killed a bunch of people. It has changed him. We wanted to paint him as a good a guy as you could ever want to meet, like the perfect guy. Lovely, sweet, charming, funny. And then just put him through a ringer and see who came out on the other side. I do think it has affected him. He is less innocent, and he probably has a darker view of the world. As we pick up Season 2, he is reeling.

TVLINE | That action sequence was like Major’s hero moment. How did that all come together? Did you have any inspirations from film?
The thing that was an inspiration when I originally asked [Robert] to do the show was Taxi Driver, when [Robert] De Niro goes to rescue teenage Jodie Foster. He’s having to move through rooms, and it would be very violent. It [is] tough to look at the two things as a direct comparison, as we’re doing broadcast network television and can’t be quite as violent. We knew we were going to push the limit as far as we could on this finale.

TVLINE | The song selection of “Der Kommissar” was so perfect. How did you land on that one?
It just came to me. I don’t think I’d written it in the script, but it occurred to me pretty early. It was probably the third or fourth song I tried in there, and it just felt very right.

TVLINE | Robert Buckley mentioned to me that there was another song at some point. What was the other option?
It was “When Doves Cry.” That was what I had in the cut, and it turns out, a) Prince is very expensive, [and] b) he doesn’t want his music associated with violence. So we were out of luck on a couple accounts there.

'iZombie's' Rob Thomas: Liv's Actions Will Have "Severe Fallout" in Season 2

“Liv will start off season two pretty much estranged from everyone else,” showrunner Rob Thomas tells THR of what's to come following the season one finale.

[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Tuesday's season one finale of iZombie.]

If the events of Tuesday's iZombie season finale have taught Liv (Rose McIver) anything, it’s that maintaining any semblance of a normal life while being a zombie comes with consequences.
After Peyton (Aly Michalka) discovered the truth about Liv's supernatural side and ran off in the penultimate episode, Major (Robert Buckley) was also angry with Liv for turning him into a zombie after he sustained a mortal wound. However, the worst came in the final moments of the episode, when Liv’s mother begged her to donate blood to her brother Evan, who was caught in an explosive blast outside of Meat Cute. Liv responded with a resounding 'no' in fear of turning Evan into a zombie.
"We’re going to pick up season two a few months after the end of season one, and Major will still not be happy with her. Liv will start off season two pretty much estranged from everyone else," showrunner Rob Thomas tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Everyone who was in that intervention scene in the pilot — Peyton, her mom, her brother and Major — everyone who was trying to pull her out of her doldrum at the beginning of season one, she will be estranged from as we begin season two."
THR spoke with Thomas about Liv’s big declaration, the consequences of her choices and where the series is headed in season two.

Episode 12 ended with Peyton finding out Liv’s secret, causing her to leave the apartment with no one knowing where she went. We don’t really hear about Peyton in the finale. What was the decision behind not mentioning where she goes?
We decided to leave it open because Aly Michalka had booked a pilot [ABC's Chevy] and because she’s not one of our series regulars, we weren’t sure if we could get her back or when we could get her back and so we didn’t want to pin ourselves into a corner. We just needed an excuse for her to bolt and probably the way we answered that was going to be determined by whether or not her pilot went to series. Her pilot did not go to series, so we are hopeful we can bring her back next season.

In the finale, Liv injected this untested cure in both Blaine and Major. Can we expect side effects from her actions?
Yes. I would say expect side effects. They took a very untested drug and it will definitely have repercussions. They have not perfected a cure yet, and both Blaine and Major will enter season two as non-zombies, as fully human.

In the final two episodes, Major purchases shotguns and grenades out of the back of some guy’s car and proceeds to take out Blaine’s operation. Was there ever a point where you felt like you were going too far, or was this a natural progression for Major?
When we cast Buckley as Major, before he accepted the role he called me and said that he wanted to make sure he wasn’t just going to be on the show for Liv to pine over, and I actually pitched him the ending of season one. I said, “We’re going to take you through the ringer. You’re going to start the season as this lovely, scrubbed up, all-American good guy, and you’re going to be put through the ringer. These kids you care about [are] killed. You will think you’re going crazy and by the end you will have this heroic moment." I said it was going to be like [Robert] De Niro in Taxi Driver in the final reel of the movie. We tried to earn it by really putting Major through his paces, having awful things happen to him. To get him to that level of violence, we really needed to make him suffer over the course of the season. 

Clive, upon seeing Candyman’s shoes after the police arrive, asked for a gun residue test on Major, but we don’t see any of that play out. Can we expect to see Major in trouble with the law when the show returns?
That’s going to be Clive’s great white whale of season two. … Clive believes that Major is involved and he will not let it go. Major may not be in trouble in episode one of season two, but over course of the season the noose will be tightening.

Speaking of Suzuki, he took himself out and tries to cover up the scene as much as possible. Did he commit suicide to try and cover up the zombie mess, or did he just want to keep it as clean as possible without zombie news getting out?
The way we wanted to play Suzuki is that he was a good cop put into an impossible situation working for Blaine. Every bad thing he did on Blaine’s behalf tore him up, and he simply could not go on working under Blaine’s thumb. He was a good man to his core. The problem was we did lose some of his story in the back end of season one; some scenes that we wrote never got shot, so we did a couple in there. We did get a couple between Blaine and Suzuki, but in a perfect world we probably would have set up that suicide a little bit better. That was the idea: Suzuki did not simply want to go on living as a zombie working for the bad guys.

Part of Suzuki’s actions resulted in Evan getting caught in a blast. Liv found out he’s in the hospital in need of blood — her blood type to be specific — but she refuses to donate. What are the repercussions that Liv will face in season two?
I will say that I don’t want to give away right now whether Evan lives or dies. I would like to leave as a question that fans are asking themselves over the summer. There will absolutely be fallout, pretty severe fallout, from Liv’s decision. We just put her in a situation where she made that God-like decision for Major, to turn him into a zombie. When he woke up as a zombie, he was not happy at all that she had made that choice. Ten minutes later she’s given that same opportunity with her brother and decides to make a different call. We were interested in seeing her have to answer that question twice back to back. In season one of Veronica Mars, we had this moment where there was this knock on the door and Veronica opens it and says, “I was hoping it was you,” and it kept fans talking about who it could be, who they wanted it to be, and I wanted a driving question to take us from season one to two, something that fans could discuss while waiting for the new season.

Ravi had a quiet few episodes coming into the end of the season, with him working on the cure. What can you tell us about what’s in store for him?
He will be questing for more tainted utopium; it’s the secret ingredient that he needs in order to recreate the cure and that will become his great white whale of season two — finding that and perfecting the cure. That quest will put him out in the field more; it’s not like he’ll be tinkering with that formula back at the morgue. He’ll be out in the world trying to track this down. We want to get him out of the morgue more.

Blaine was the zombie underground kingpin of Seattle. Now that he’s human, what does this mean for his control of the zombie population?
One thing it means is that he can’t make any more zombies. One of the things we think it’ll be fun to play is that he is still going to try to present himself as a zombie to his customers in season two. So we might have funny scenes where we see him putting on white face instead of trying to tan himself because he needs to pass himself off as a zombie; he still wants those customers to fear him. We’re going to have fun with that. The big storyline and something we’re excited about for season two, that we announce right in our finale of season one, is that Max Rager has decided that all zombies must be eliminated and that will strangely make Blaine and Liv bedfellows. Liv is no more fond of Blaine at the end of season one, but she will likely to be forced to team up with him to protect the zombie population.

Could Blaine get scratched again and turned back or is it more complicated because of the cure?
Blaine could get scratched and turned back again, but with Liv next year, he is going to be eating chocolate bars in front of her and enjoying life as a human again. Blaine likes being human so he could get scratched, and that would turn him back into a zombie but it’s not what he wants; it would have to happen from someone other than himself deciding it.

Max Rager revealed a new head of research and once it cut back from commercial break, there was a little comic book tag that said "The New Boss." With the CEO under fire from the document leak, is the new head of research taking over?
Vaughan is being harassed by reporters, so Max Rager is having problems with their stock prices as we begin season two. They are definitely taking a blow from having that memo getting loose in the world. Steven Weber is too much fun for us. He will continue to head up Max Rager.

Will Super Max play a role? It’s introduced toward the end of the season as he’s aiming to keep humans up all the time, no need for sleep. Is that still something Max Rager is pursuing?
Yea, that’s something that Vaughan (CEO) thinks is going to save the company, but they’re putting all their eggs in the Super Max basket.

When we talked before the season aired, you mentioned that as you and the writers were working on the series, you started bringing Blaine and Liv together toward the end, and you really enjoyed that. Compared to season one, do you plan on there being a lot of frequent between the two of them?
It was one of the reasons we came up with the storyline we did, so we could put them on screen more often. It’s not as though they’re going to become buddies, but they will need to work together to survive.

So you’re shooting down the Blaine/Liv 'shippers already?
It’s so hard to imagine because Blaine spent all of season one murdering these homeless teenagers. They’re fun together, but I have a hard time getting past that. Of course, I’m a big Jaime Lannister fan on Game of Thrones and he threw a kid out a window, so I guess it could be possible to the audience forgive Blaine, but it’d be really tough to get past that.

The only people around Liv who don’t know she is a zombie are Clive, her mom and her brother. How will Clive not knowing while everyone else does affect the storyline in season two? Will Clive slowly learn more about zombies in general?
I think with Clive investigating the murder at Meat Cute, he’s going to get closer and closer to zombies. It’s a different question to me than “Is Liv going to share her secret?” I sort of admire Superman. He looks exactly like Clark Kent but he managed to keep it from Lois and Jimmy for decades, and yet I know fans want her to tell him so badly. I guess Buffy had success by bringing everyone on to their team. We may go there someday, but there are no plans in the immediate future.

Is it a full order of 22 or 13 with a possible back 9?
13 with a possible back 9.

How are you writers tackling the 13-episode order? Are you just writing 13 now and then planning on writing the back nine later or are you going in with a full 22 order in mind?
Well, we certainly want 22, and in the room we’re sort of planning on 22. But if we don’t get 22, you will see some really jam-packed episodes around [episode] 10, 11, 12 and 13.

iZombie returns in the fall on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.

OK good finale, I wonder if suzuki is dead?
and the if the formula cures major and blaine.
Then she cant give blood to her nephew, so let him die or make him a Z??
From 8 to the end it was pretty good show.

I looked at the end and it is a WB made show, so it will have to maintain ratings to keep going.
If it was CBS made it would get 5 seasons for sure.

How about posting the season ratings here? all eps from tv series.
I think I read something about CW not being high on the show, but with the ratings they had to renew it.
So after the messengers deal I think something is bad between CW and WB.

anyway it was nice to watch last 6 in short period.

I redid the banner did you notice??

1) Suzuki is dead. He obviously couldn't live with his role in Blain's syndicate anymore. At his core he wasn't a bad guy.
2) The cure worked (did you notice that while Blain forced that vet to remove the bullet, he was eating a non-brain burger full of joy). But probably there will be some side effects ... see the interview with the showrunner above!
3) Live won't give blood to her brother (!) after her experience with Major's reaction. That's how they can introduce Liv's father, who is planned to appear in season 2.
4) The whole show constantly got better and better and ended with an almost perfect season finale. And you just gotta love Rose McIver playing Liv. Pure cuteness!!

The rating for the finale is weird imho. How could one want to miss that????

6) It was high time!! I like the show too much already, so I couldn't wait ... I almost thought you'd dropped the show and I would have take you back to task ...

The rating for the finale is weird imho. How could one want to miss that????

That is weird and not a good sign.
That happened with another one of our shows. poi??
I was watching the last 6 at my pace, 2 at a time, and once I saw 12 I had to go to bed, but next day
had to see what happened in 13.

What I see in the ratings is [thanks for posting] the show may skew older viewers !! lol
I would think it to be a young people show, but ep 12 had 1.8 mil V and only .06 demo.
Even the 01 show was 2.2mil and only .08
the ratings steadily dropped , the demo did hang at .60 or .7 for most of season.

As I said not a cbs studio show so 2nd season ratings if they just drop more that could be it for the show, and why it only got another 13.
I like it , and it is different and to me is the type of show that would do well in syndication years from now.
I guess it did as good as 100 S-2, not sure what 100 did in S-1, that would be a good comparison.
The 100 at end says cbs studios, then WB. so not sure how that works lol, a joint venture, but it has to be made at one of their studios.

Hopefully it will get a ending whenever they decide to drop it.
It is possible ratings go up but doubtful.

1) Suzuki is dead. He obviously couldn't live with his role in Blain's syndicate anymore. At his core he wasn't a bad guy.
Well probably but unless his brain was damaged he could still pop back.
2) The cure worked (did you notice that while Blain forced that vet to remove the bullet, he was eating a non-brain burger full of joy). But probably there will be some side effects ... see the interview with the showrunner above!
Well I figured it would work in some way, but they could do anything with that.
And if blaine is cured would he still be the bad guy?
What happens to all the ones he was feeding?
3) Live won't give blood to her brother (!) after her experience with Major's reaction. That's how they can introduce Liv's father, who is planned to appear in season 2.
ok that works
4) The whole show constantly got better and better and ended with an almost perfect season finale. And you just gotta love Rose McIver playing Liv. Pure cuteness!!
It did , it lost me when she got the BF, but that was the only negative, and by the time they killed him I was starting to like him lol.
Rose does a good job with the role.

I kinda wanted the detective to find out the truth.
