Zombie Island isn’t just a cool game show idea.
No other series is going to scratch that itch.
It depends on your angle.

Fare(un)well, Max Rager.
This is the dawn of Fillmore Graves.
What, you didnt think youd be sympathetic to the cause of a mercenary firm calledFillmore Graves?
Vivians still waiting to get revenge on the zombie who did it (Blaine?
In the meantime, prepping for war against all humankind will have to do.
Theyve got the formula for Super Max to give them added strength.
Even the decor on the Fillmore Graves campus puts this fight in a new perspective.
The coming war will affect civilians as well as soldiers.
Its not just the fact that they eat brains.
And they have to get weekly tans and dye their hair like unwitting pageant children!
Anyway, go hug a kid.
One of the students in Vivians school, Wally, spots Clive and runs into his arms.
(Are you one of us now?
Theres more than one way to take that.)
Its a doomed promise.
Humans arent ready for the truth.
And whether Liv likes it or not, the truth is leaking out.
Chuck figures it was a government super-soldier experiment gone wrong, but his cohost guesses zombies.
Hes even convinced his neighbor is one.
At least for now, shes on Vivians team.
Its a win for everyone.
Our trios going rogue.
Ravis in a lot of trios right now.
Whether you missed it or not, the Peyton-Ravi-Blaine love triangle is still happening.
Peyton insists theyre unrequited, but Ravi is spiraling anyway.
I like nay, love!
all three of these characters, but this plotline doesnt do them any favors.
At least Liv calls him out on it.
(You called her my precious.
You dont plan on throwing her in Mount Doom, do you?)
Of course, most romances would pale in comparison to the threat of a zombie apocalypse.
There are bigger fish to fry.
He might even be close.
But there are some (Don E., me) who think Blaines amnesia is an act.
He found a way to make the cure undesirable and make himself desirable to Peyton all at once.
and offers him a business deal: They start their own brain enterprise.
Theres really no second part to that plan; thats as far as Don E.s gotten.
But Angus, a literally captive audience, is in, and he urges Don E. to think bigger.
Was the zombie apocalypse not big enough?
Killer Cuts:
Vivians cover story seems to involve pinning everything on Vaughn, which is fine by me.
Blaine keeps singing when no one else is around.
This is also fine.
Radio deejay: This tweet just came in from Carlos Santana: Heaven just got a little bit smoother.
And probably a midseason love interest.
Don E.: Youre so good.
You deserve an Emmy.
I mean, youre TV good.
Lets not get carried away.
Daniel Day-Lewis aint shakin in his boots.
Angus: That was Kautilya inArthashastra.
Don E.: Pretty sure it was Kirk inStar Trek.
Only someone with zombie taste buds could double-fist coffee and orange juice.
So far the No.
Liv: Depends on the brains.
Major: If we ate the brains of a train conductor, for example?
