I'm sad that Baron was killed. But I guess that's how Liv was convinced to sneak the "actors" out of Seattle.

And Jordan, too! I liked her in last season.

I guess this final season needs to have a lot of death.

Dolly is pure evil and I hope she gets the worst coming to her.

The fun in the show is still there. I always get a kick out of the D&D group and how much Clive is into it. Ravi and Peyton trying out Liv's sex advice was also hilarious.

I hope we get to see some of "Hi Zombie." I can't imagine that will go well.

That name is clever not only because it's a play on "iZombie" - it also reverses "Zombie High," the name of the teen zombie soap TV show that exists in-universe.

This is the second joke about the show's name that I can remember, there must have been a big fight about what to name the show that the writers lost. It is a dumb name, to be fair, I thought the show was supposed to be about cell phones making people zombies or something like that when I heard about it.
