potentially awkward iZombie pondering
This is under a cut not so much because of spoilers, but because it discusses eating brains, which some people might not particularly want to read about.
And actually, I'd normally be the first one to nope out of reading about cannibalism/eating brains in fiction (never going to watch Hannibal, and tend to want warnings when procedurals and such involve cannibalism). But I guess i'm ok with it here as the brain eating/cannibalism is very literally necessary to Liv's being able to function (Blaine is another matter, but while somewhat amusing, IDC about him at all, and david Anders has never done anything at all for me), as opposed to something she enjoys/has any highminded or artistic ideas about or any such thing, and the show isn't using it as deep explorations into humanity/psychoses.
Anyway, getting to my point:
I wonder if Liv and Raji have a secret refrigerator full of the bits of brains Liv hasn't eaten yet. She seems to only eat as much as she absolutely has to, and to be able to get by with just a little bit of brains at a time. Given how much they're getting into the "fake psychic crimefighter" bit, you'd think ravi, at least, would think it could be useful to keep parts of the various brains preserved for future use, just in case the skills Liv gets from them could come in handy again, since the influence of the brains isn't permanent.
The brain in the pilot would be "kleptomaniac brain," and the brain from this week's episode would be "art brain."
Imagine how useful some of these could be:
Lawyer Brain
Con Artist Brain
Architect Brain
Poker Brain
Black Belt Brain
Chef Brain
Accountant Brain
Librarian Brain
FBI Brain
etc.
Unrelated to the above, but i've watched the first 3 episodes of the new Poldark series, and...eeeeh. Well acted, brautiful scenery, interesting topics, but while I enjoyed the first episode, I was mostly bored by the second and third. I only care at all about Demelza and Verity (and that's at least partly because of my fondness for Eleanor Tomlinson and Ruby Bentall), and am not overly fond of where things seem to be going with either character. Mostly I expected a lot of misery and crushed dreams for both. I'm not sure I'll watch more because I read some spoilers for the books that....did not make me look forward to future plot developments.
I'm now going to go off and feel a bit awkward about the iZombie part of this post.
