The CW's iZombie - PREMIERE - Season One, Episode One: Pilot

iZombie

Season One, Episode One:

PILOT

Hi guys, it's been quite a long ass time since I last did a reaction post to anything. The last post was actually Supernatural and that was for episode 10 of the season. Yeah, I've been gone too long. 

But since tonight is the premiere of Rob Thomas' iZombie, I thought it would be the perfect thing to come back to my blog with. Rob Thomas is better known for his creation of Veronica Mars, which is a FANTASTIC show - no, I did not watch it when it first premiere, I should have, but I didn't. 

I watched VMars about three summers ago - loved every minute of it. And I just love LoVe (Logan and Veronica, just in case you didn't know). If you don't know what Veronica Mars is, you may have heard about a Kickstarter for a movie that got to its money goal in the span on ONE FULL DAY - again, Veronica Mars making her comeback.

This is Veronica Mars if you were wondering, it may have some things like V but I doubt Liv (the main character in iZombie) will be exactly like Veronica Mars. NO ONE can be Veronica Mars. 

I know little to nothing about iZombie, never read the comic books or knew anything about it until Rob Thomas slapped his name onto it - making it something that people wanted to see. 

Liv is a brain-eating zombie (how she began a zombie is beyond me, probably will be explained in the premiere) and being a zombie she gets this cool ability - when she eats "Jane/John Doe's" brain, she gets visions of how he or she died. Interesting, right? Well, at least to me. 

Let's get this show on the road:

9:00 - Rob Thomas, do not disappoint me, got it? I don't know if I like her hair long.
9:01 - Yeah, I don't like the boyfriend. 
9:02 - What?! I'm laughing for one. Rob, so far you aren't disappointing me. But I am seeing the similar VMars stuff.
9:03 - Aly is in it! I forgot! "No, it's not." 
9:04 - Who names their son Major? "Exactly four." 
9:05 - I like the brother.
9:06 - Oh my God! 
9:07 - And someone knows, seven minutes in. 

Commercial Break

9:10 - This guy...he's funny as hell.
9:11 - Yeah, I see Veronica in her. A lot.
9:12 - You sure about that Liv? Hi David. 
9:13 - "Dumber, meaner." 
8:14 - And she had her first vision. "Could it be something you...ate?" "Are you screwing around with me?" 
9:15 - "Liv's a psychic." "Ish..." 
9:16 - Oh this should be interesting. "I don't really care." 
9:17 - Hi CLIFF! I wonder who else from Veronica Mars will be on this show. 
9:18 - "Hell if I know." 
9:19 - "Yeah, I guess. Bye." Yeah, I love Liv already!

Commercial Break

9:25 - "Oh hell no." Liv wasn't lying. 
8:26 - "Here's Jonny!" "See, role playing." 
9:27 - Yeah, I love Liv. 
9:28 - And she can magically speak Spanish.
9:29 - I'm laughing. 
9:30 - The apartment is NICE!
9:32 - Oh, that's interesting. "I just saw her die." 

Commercial Break

9:36 - "It's personal now." "I have very little doubt about that." 
9:37 - Oh, her friend is trying to find a cure for her. Aww. "As a matter of fact, I was." 
9:38 - Well, keep on hopin' Liv. 
9:39 - Oh, he's playing a zombie game.

Commercial Break 

9:44 - Seriously, I've seen five people I know. 
9:45 - "Weird question, have you seen my pens?" 
9:46 - Poor Liv. 
9:47 - At least she returned the stuff. "I'm back on the case." 
9:48 - "He's a cop. It's Pratt." 

Commercial Break

9:53 - Sorry, getting distracted. 
9:54 - Liv's fine. Well, maybe fine.
9:55 - "He missed." "Thanks to you." 
9:56 - "You're not dead, you're undead." 
9:57 - "Don't I though?" 
9:58 - And she slept. 
9:59 - YAY!

The Flash - Series Premiere - Pilot (S1, Ep1)

The Flash

Series Premiere

Title: Pilot 

Now, I'm not that excited for the The Flash - I'm not a big Barry fan when it was on Arrow. So, we'll see. I'm only doing this reaction on The Flash. Next week, I'll get back into the whole reacting everyday with the shows I promised.

8:00 - Let's see what happens now. And it begins. Oh, poor Barry. 

8:02 - Sorry, my cats decided to escape their room for the night. LOOK IT'S CHAD ROOK! AH! 

8:03 - "I had a few...bites of it." 

8:04 - "Sorry." "Hands off my fries." 

8:05 - My computer is running really slow today. And I hate it. So, we are basically seeing Barry before the lightning storm thing-y, I suppose. 

8:06 - Smooth talking, Barry. Yeah, she doesn't understand. Which is that girl, isn't it? 

8:07 - Well, in all the promos, Tom AKA Henry, Harry, whatever is in a wheelchair. 

8:08 - Barry gets winded quickly. And he got a bloody nose. "Oh, that's detective pretty boy." "He is pretty though." 

8:09 - Oh, Barry has a murder board.

8:10 - When are we going to meet Chad? Wait, is that him? Please tell me that's him. I think so! IT IS!!! BADASS CHAD ON THE LOOSE!! 

8:11 - Well, I know he isn't dead, at least not for a while. And there's the scene we saw in Arrow.

8:12 - Okay-ish title card. 

Commercial Break - Yeah, not really impressed. Mainly watching it because I love Chad Rook! And he retweeted me a couple of times a year or two ago when Cult was on! And he replied too! Ah! I love that guy!

8:15 - Are we randomly going to see Felicity? 9 months huh? That's slightly creepy there, Barry. "Not this second."

8:16 - "Lightning gave me abs?" DUDE! THAT'S HILARIOUS! Damn. 

8:17 - I love Tom! He's amazing! "She talks a lot." "And she's hot." 

8:18 - "Really?" A happy reunion. "Iris, I'm okay." 

8:19 - Yes, Chad Rook. DAMN! GOD, I LOVE THIS MAN! 

8:20 - I'm sensing a thing between Iris and detective pretty boy. 

8:21 - "I just need some air." "What's happening to me?" And there he goes. And goes flying into a car.

Commercial Break - Still not 100% with the whole Flash thing. 

8:26 - He went back to Star Labs. "It's a little snug." 

8:27 - "I make the toys, man." So, I see a flash symbol on that. Oh, damn. Sorry Danielle or whatever your character's name is. I know her real name is Danielle.

8:28 - And off he goes. "It's not possible." Anything's possible for the CW. 

8:29 - And he just crashed into barrels of water and a sprained/broken wrist. "Guess you haven't read his blog." 

8:30 - "Had?" "In three hours." "When I was eleven, my mother was murdered."

8:31 - "There was man. And he killed my mom." At that time, yes. Yep, I was right about them having a thing. I didn't picture Barry finding out that quickly though. 

8:32 - "I was going to tell you." You were in a coma for nine months, Barry. Chad Rook again! Well, damn. Impressed there, Barry. 

8:33 - Chad Rook. Who creates weather. That was just fog.

Commercial Break 

8:36 - "I'm alright."

8:37 - "No, now." "Of course you don't believe me. You never believe me." 

8:38 - "He's dead." "We don't know for sure." Just tell him, I'm confused as fuck right now. 

8:39 - Meta-Humans? 

8:40 - Tad bit harsh there, Tom. Wait, isn't that Isaac's father? I think it is.

8:41 - You almost set your jacket on fire. And hello Oliver. "So, why come to me?" 

8:42 - "I think it chose you." Just like the wand chooses the wizard? Had too...not sorry. "Saving people. In a flash." The CW really likes to use those words - Saving People, huh. 

8:43 - "Wear a mask." 

Commercial Break - Big Hero 6 looks so adorable! I want to see it!

8:48 - Of course. He created a suit - cute. 

8:49 - Should is the keyword. Oh, don't go in there, you two! We've already lost one guy, don't make us lose two more. Chad Rook being badass and country. "Shut up." 

8:50 - God, Chad Rook. Please go and count how many times I mention Chad Rook. Please. I'd like to know.

8:51 - They won't know how to stop it. "You'll die." "I'll have to try." 

8:52 - "But he's not." "He can do it, I know he can." "You can do this, Barry."

8:53 - If Iris' father doesn't believe now. Something's wrong with him. Hot damn. 

8:54 - And he got shot. Of course. 

Commercial Break - Did I forget to mention I have to sit through three extra minutes of this shit? Yeah, probably not going to be watching again. Not really my thing. I'm more of an Arrow girl. Which you will see a reaction tomorrow, she says hopefully. 

8:56 - This is going to be hard to explain, huh? "More or less." 

8:57 - "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." Joy, he gets to keep two secrets. One from Iris' dad and one from Iris. Perfect. Yes, it is Isaac's dad. Odd to see him. 

8:58 - "Yes, I did." He seems so much calmer. "You believing me is all I need." "Whatever killed her." 

8:59 - But Barry is going to be like Kate Beckett and wants to solve the murder. "I'm glad they know." "I'm so proud to be your son." 

9:00 - "It's gonna catch on." Oh, Tom whatcha doing there? Are you Meta to? You are. Should have known.

9:01 - Remember when I said I wasn't planning on watching it anymore - yeah, I'm wanting to know more. What? Did that just say 2024?

Gracepoint - Series Premiere - Episode 1

 Gracepoint 

Series Premiere 

Title: Episode 1

Gracepoint, the American version of Broadchurch. I'm excited to see what Gracepoint brings to us. Since I've watched Broadchurch (in one sitting, I might add), I know the storyline. So, let's see how the US changes it up. I know the murderer will be different, I just hope it isn't the priest or Ellie's nephew. 

So, let's the game begin! 

9:00 - And jumping right into Gracepoint! And Danny missing.

9:01 - Well, we're starting out with the similar idea of the beginning of Broadchurch. SPOILERS, JUST AN FYI!! Sorry ahead. If you haven't seen Broahchurch, then never mind. 

9:02 - Kevin Zegers! I LOVE HIM!! 

9:03 - "I'm good at vacations." 

9:04 - Welcome to Gracepoint. 

9:05 - This will be a short reaction guys. I've seen Broadchurch and don't want to spoil anything. I want hear more of David with an American accent. PLEASE! 

9:06 - Still doing the slo-mo that I don't find interesting or necessary. 

9:07 - "I thought he'd be here." Yep, this car scene is the same. 

9:08 - More un-necessary slo-mo. 

9:09 - "Oh God. Oh God!" "Seriously?" "I know this boy!" 

9:10 - And Danny's mother find him. Poor girl. 

Commercial Break - Lexi, my cat is begging for attention and she got it. By sitting on my chest. So, this is awkward. 

9:14 - "It was epic." "Okay, I'll go to the beach."

9:15 - "What do you mean?" "That kid wasn't up here." 

9:16 - Off to tell the parents. This was sad to begin with in Broadchurch, what about now in Gracepoint?

9:17 - I've got a massive headache you guys. And these slo-mo scenes aren't helping it! Too many slo-mo! 

9:18 - The daughter is crying more than the mom right now. It was the opposite in Broadchurch. "It was an accident, right?" 

9:20 - Into Danny's room we go. 

9:22 - Saying this right now - Danny's father isn't the murderer. 

9:23 - "I promise. I love you Danny. I love you." 

Commercial Break 

9:28 - Well, that's one change - I'm pretty sure Beth was 15 when she had their daughter. 

9:29 - I wonder if that psychic guy will be in it. Most likely. "Yes, you were." 

9:30 - I don't stop hearing David in his British/Scottish accent right now. It's only in certain words though.

9:31 - I wonder if they are keeping in Alec having a wife and daughter. 

9:32 - The daughter seems more upset than the rest of the family. 

9:33 - And the daughter leaves. Good, her boyfriend is black - just like the British one. 

9:34 - Owen is so sneaky. 

9:35 - "You better call me back." And off to Twitter it goes. 

9:37 - "Know what?" He handled that well.

Commercial Break 

9:42 - Press conference. "I can't believe he got hired again." 

9:43 - "I don't know." Why didn't David keep his accent? This is a terrible American on. "I'm an idiot." 

9:44 - "Stay out of my way." "He doesn't know, does he?" Well, I can tell you Ellie's husband isn't the murderer.

9:46 - Sorry, my mom and I were talking murders. "Danny died last night." 

9:47 - "He was found, lying on the beach." "It's okay to cry." 

9:48 - "Can I be alone now?" "Of course." 

9:49 - The kid was using a flip-phone. Slightly odd. And now deleting everything off his computer. Good, they kept that in.

Commercial Break 

9:53 - "Thanks for bringing me." 

8:55 - I feel so bad for Beth. "I promise you, Beth." "Of course he did." 

9:56 - I wonder if they will keep the pregnancy in. I hope they do. Nice going, Owen. "I'll tell you more, if there's more to tell." 

9:57 - Good, the skateboard is involved. 

9:58 - Don't look too shocked there Alec. 

9:59 - "There is no hiding place for Danny's killer."

Gotham - Series Premiere - Pilot (S1, Ep1)

Gotham

Series Premiere

Title: Pilot

Tonight's the night, loyal readers, the night all my fall shows come back with a BANG! And first on the list is Gotham. I know little to nothing about the DC world, I'm a Marvel girl, so I'm not up-to date with all the things going on in the DC world. I'm not a fan of Batman or Superman. 

Never been into those superheroes. 

So, what will tonight bring us? We'll see.

8:00 - And it begins, ah, it feels so good to react again. IT BEGINS!! And we meet Catwoman first, huh? 
8:01 - She's a lousy pick-pocket. Damn, she's fast.
8:02 - She's going to witness the murder of Batman's parents. That's a lot of blood for a simple shooting. 
8:03 - You've got a good screaming voice, kid. 
8:04 - And the main character has entered. Damn, you are good, lead. 
8:05 - Since when is that a basic? I guess in the comic-verse, it is. "No rest for the wicked, huh?" 
8:06 - "It makes it your case."
8:07 - The kid playing Bruce is quite a good actor with this crying scene. "There will be light. There will be light, Bruce." 
8:08 - "And shiny shoes." Bet that's important. "Be strong. I promise you, I'll find the guy who did this." 
8:09 - Hey, look, it's the butler. "Good luck, mate." 

Commercial Break - Kinda lackluster title slate. Kinda bored by it... Like I said, I don't know the DC verse. 

8:11 - The lead's partner is an asshole. Go away please.
8:12 - "Damn right, I'm scared." What happened between the cop and the special vic unit?
8:13 - Yeah, the partner can die. "The answer's no." 
8:14 - "She said you had to keep me, huh?" I like the lead. "You'll get used to me." 
8:15 - "How you doin'?" 
8:16 - Uh, does anyone know when this show 'takes place?' Like time period. We've met Fish. 
8:17 - Nope, now we've met the Penguin. 
8:18 - "Yes, my boys are watching a scary movie." 
8:19 - Yep, he's Penguin. GCPD? That's a mouth full, isn't it? "F-Fun." 
8:20 - If looks could kill. 

Commercial Break

8:22 - Who's this? And why do I sense a sex scene coming up?
8:23 - Yeah, I was right - the suit jacket came off. Wow, she's planning ahead quite quickly. 
8:24 - Really, he's not shirtless? But, hell, Gotham is pretty epic looking. 
8:25 - So confused. I think I need some backstory. And we met Poison Ivy. "So it will be a pleasant talk." 
8:26 - That's how you know something's up when the suspect runs. Weird camera angles - WTF? 
8:27 - Careful lead. The lead sucks at fighting. "Thanks." That is so illegal now. 

Commercial Break 

8:30 - Hey look, a gun. And the pearls. 
8:31 - I knew I didn't like those guys. Sure it did, Penguin. "That's beside the point." 
8:32 - That's Catwoman again. "You kept your promise. Thank you." 
8:33 - This won't end well. 
8:34 - "Yes, thank you, I know him." "Like I know you." What did that mean? "No." 
8:35 - Assholes. "Bastards." 
8:36 - "Why?" "To cover up the real killer." 
8:37 - "We killed him." A bullet wound to the shoulder killed him? Really? "Forget about it." 
8:38 - "I'm afraid he might lie." "He might." "You just did." "You'll have to wait and see." "I hate surprises." Well, Fish, you've got some skills. 
8:39 - You, asshole, you lied to his fiancé. You are in on all of this, aren't you, partner? 

Commercial Break - I'm not really into Gotham, you guys. Not really my scene, I guess. 

8:43 - Yeah, I'm happy I'm a vegetarian. 
8:44 - "That's what everybody says." Okay, so we have cell phones - so, late 90s, early 2000s. 
8:45 - "Cops." "I like you, you're funny." 
8:46 - "I feel this way, also." 
8:47 - Yeah, I'm done after tonight. "My little Penguin." "Thanks for trying to help." 
8:48 - Oh joy. But someone's to the rescue. Who are you? "She has to ask permission."

Commercial Break

8:50 - "Friendship?" 
8:51 - "Blood doesn't lie." 
8:52 - I hate businessmen, especially when it comes to organized crime. "Just like your father." 
8:53 - No duh. 
8:54 - Don't kill Penguin, he's like the only character I like and have sympathy for. Poor Penguin. He going to fire a bullet as a decoy.
8:55 - "I'll be your slave for life." "I'm clever that way." "I can be a spy." Good pretending on your part, Penguin. But he'll be back. 
8:56 - Oh, are we going to the Waynes mansion? And it looks like Bruce is going to kill himself. But stops himself. 
8:57 - "He was framed." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." 
8:58 - "I can only do that from the inside." "Your call?" That's his way of saying yes, lead actor. Hello again Catwoman. 
8:59 - He's back. And he just murdered someone, for food. Well, that's Penguin for you.

Sleepy Hollow - Pilot

*Spoilers if anyone who is reading this hasn't seen the premiere yet!* 

Today is the day - the day a lot of people have been waiting for. The premiere of the highly anticipated Sleepy Hollow premiere! I was one of those people who first saw the trailer and went, 'I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!' I may actually have said that out loud...

I heard about Sleepy Hollow back in May when all the renewals and new shows were released by the networks. 

I decided to look back and see what I wrote on SpoilerTV and I read this: 'Yay! Sleepy Hollow!!' 

WOW... you can tell I was pretty excited about, can't you? 

Then the trailer came out and I wrote this: 'Officially in love!! Can it be fall yet?' 

Now you can see I'm a little more excited. I wrote more than the actual title name! 

Just to let you know, I have only seen the trailer and a few promos - no sneak peeks for me! I want to be surprised by everything! 

Can I just say one thing about Dancing with the Stars - the standards are SO FUCKING HIGH!! 

The time has come, the premiere is upon us. 

9:00 - And we start off with the war! Perfect way to start. And NO DUH there's an parental advisory - there's chopping off heads! 
9:01 - There goes the head. And there goes Ichabod Crane. I think I heard Katrina's voice. 
9:02 - Oh! He's now awake and in modern times. I wouldn't drink the Hudson waters if I were you, Ichabod.
9:03 - Running would be good! 
9:04 - Hello Abbie Mills and the Sheriff who's name I don't know. 
9:05 - Sorry, I'm getting distracted by Dancing with the Stars - Bill Nye is on! 
9:06 - Thank you creative team! This is so fucking amazing! I actually looks like Sleepy Hollow when it wasn't filmed in New York. 
9:07 - Almost said a curse word there, Sheriff. 
9:08 - The head's gone! Great sound effects for the Headless Horseman's sword. And the Sheriff's dead. 
9:09 - Sorry, commentary between me and my mom. 
9:10 - Abbie is fascinated by Ichabod Crane. 

Commercial Break #1 - Okay, my thoughts so far, Ichabod Crane is supposed to be a school teacher and a whimpy one at that. He's not a fearless solider who cuts off heads. I can look past that because I'm fascinated myself! 

9:14 - "And what on earth is that?"
9:15 - Oh, let's sound crazy. "Do you know him?" 
9:16 - Katrina is his wife, nice twist. 250 years ago.
9:17 - "Welcome to the 21th century, Mr. Crane. 
9:18 - 500 degrees? What the fuck? 
9:19 - "On you." I like Abbie already! WHOA! THAT HEIGHT DIFFERENCE! 
9:20 - I like Ichabod's sarcasm. The front seat, really? 
9:21 - "Yep." "How many are there?" "Per block?" "This there a law?" 
9:22 - Ichabod is liking Abbie. Oh, who are you and why does Ichabod know you? 
9:23 - "She gave him a gun!?" "She gave him a flashlight." What my mom and I start about while watching TV. The apocalypse...there we go again...
9:24 - "Now this is crazy." "-one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse." 
9:25 - "-to finish what he started." The evil eye! 
9:26 - I'm loving the camera angles of this show right now! 

Commercial Break #2 

9:30 - You don't have an opinion, Crane.
9:31 - A hawk? Oh shut up! 
9:32 - "That's great." "Katrina!" "Died of witchcraft?" 
9:33 - Abbie can't leave Sleepy Hollow, I agree with you Ichabod! "Again?" Again?! 
9:34 - Welcome to the Psych Ward, Crane. It is better than a cave. 
9:35 - Abbie's backstory in the first episode? Aww... I feel bad for Abbie. 
9:36 - "You can call me Abbie." Anyone else feeling a ship coming on? Pleas say so! I don't want to feel crazy about it! 
9:37 - Did the Sheriff know more than he was leading now? Before his death anyway. Like why the Horseman killed him. Oh, he did! 
9:38 - Oh, wow. The Sheriff knew A LOT! 
9:39 - "Let us do our job." Oh, he knows more than he letting now! And I don't like it or him! 

Commercial Break #3 

9:42 - Ichabod is dreaming! 
9:43 - The Horseman's skull! Epic! Bound by blood, great. 
9:44 - The end of course!! 
9:45 - Thank you Abbie! This is getting very interesting! 
9:46 - The horse's eyes are epic! Irving? That's pretty cool too but I don't like Irving! 
9:47 - Wow, this guy just loves guest spots, doesn't he? Never lasts an episode! And he knows?

Commercial Break #4 - We only have 11 minutes left of the episode? For real?! 

9:52 - We are grave destroying! And they found the skull. The Horseman has arrived, just like in the movies and the short story. 
9:53 - Fight with a shovel - and... oh...
9:54 - "You can't kill him - he is death." "Put your hands on your-" "Do you think he can hear us?" Favorite scene! 
9:55 - "I'm okay!" Partners in crime! 
9:56 - Ichabod's face: I don't understand that reference. "Not anymore." 
9:57 - "You think that's us?"
9:58 - What the fuck?! Well, he's dead! HOLY SHIT! 

Oh my God! I need next weeks!
