![]() The reveal that A) Angus was next on his list and B) he was secretly storing the zombies he was supposed to be murdering in a freezer was the best “Go Major!” moment iZombie has had in a while. Major still has that little problem with Detective Bozzio looking into the missing rich zombies men, but he also had a little trick up his sleeve. Major was all sunshine and rainbows this week, wasn’t he? He and Liv were really testing the boundaries of their relationship, and while it was a bummer when Ravi informed them that the zombie virus could penetrate any and all condoms (which, okay), it was nice to see the two actually be romantic with each other. ![]() David Anders gets a brief moment tonight where he is crying over his grandfather’s now-brainless corpse that is a nice touch for the character. Blaine is a great villain, but we haven’t seen a lot of humanity from him over the past 18 episodes. What was a little surprising was Blaine murdering his own grandfather just to get back at his father. It wasn’t a scene that was relevant to the overarching plot, but it was a nice little peek into Blaine’s brain. “Max Wager” not only provides a conflict for Blaine in Angus (who is hastily disposed of by Major in the episode’s closing moments), but it also gives him a nice conversation with Liv about being a zombie vs. Blaine has been a strong, if somewhat bratty, villain for iZombie, but he’s been pushed aside this season to the point of even being absent from one episode. Speaking of Blaine, he received a surprise of his own this week when his father Angus attempted to take over his brain business. iZombie was missing a truly evil antagonist, and Mr. Vaughn du Clark has faded into the background this season and Blaine hasn’t exactly been present for the majority of the first five episodes. Boss just has two brief scenes in “Max Wager,” but he has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with. They guy just waltzed right into her office, messed with her crime board and flat-out threatened her (er, provided her an opportunity) in the place where she works. ![]() This was never more apparent than in his confrontation with Peyton in her office. His reveal in the barbershop was a little unorthodox in that it wasn’t exactly a gasp-worthy reveal, but Eddie Jemison was able to come across as plenty menacing. Stacey Boss (whose name will never stop being funny). “Max Wager” assuaged any worries I may have had about the season.įirst up, we have the mysterious Mr. We have now reached the midpoint of the season, and while there haven’t been any bad episodes if iZombie yet this year (even a mediocre one is better than most things on the air nowadays), it was getting worrisome that so much screen time was being devoted to the aforementioned mysteries-of-the-week. For the first time this season, the mystery-of-the-week was put on the backburner and iZombie spent a majority of the episode focusing on advancing many different subplots. Well that was certainly a jam-packed episode.
