His relationship with Liv is a largely professional one but he definitely seemed much more tolerant of her this week. Malcolm Goodwin has great chemistry with Jessica Harmon’s Dale as evidenced by their scene together where they discussed the case but were also heavily flirting. It was great to see him get a little starstruck by the appearance of a famous basketball player and his love of basketball is slowly becoming something that his character is known for. I did find it interesting that Major is only freezing the zombies and dumping dummies into the river but still it’s not something that Liv will be happy with.Ĭlive has a lot more to do this week with more of his personality come through. He lies to Liv all the time about what he’s really doing and that should surely create some scenes that aren’t irritating to watch. The blissful happiness can only last so long anyway as Major still has the problem of his secret zombie killing spree, his affair with Gilda and his drug addiction to deal with. I suspect it’ll be no more than an episode or two before Liv’s rational mind gets to work tearing it apart and realising that there’s no future for them as long as Liv remains a zombie…or as long as Major wants to remain a human. Of course this creates complications between Major and Liv who naively think that they’ll be fine and just have to be more creative. I suppose the question of “what if we use protection?” has now been answered but I’m not sure that an entire episode needed to be wasted on it. That’s exactly what happened to a woman that Blaine slept with in the first season so I can’t say I’m surprised. The short end of it is that a physical relationship between a zombie and a human is impossible unless that human is content to become a zombie. The connection is made to HIV but the episode doesn’t really do anything with it as this whole issue is sitting in the background and is mostly played for laughs. When they aren’t being annoyingly couply they are talking about the risks surrounding their physical relationship. Nothing against the actors who do a fantastic job as usual but the scenes just aren’t that compelling. Up until now their relationship has been defined by the tragedy of being unable to be together but now that they are in a relationship both of them are pretty dull when together. One thing the episode proves is that these characters are more interesting apart than they are together. Liv could certainly be more predisposed to taking risks given that she had eaten the brain of a gambling addict but Major is all kinds of messed up. Both of them seem to be insufferably optimistic about it to the point that I was wondering if Major was still high on Utopium. It’s a risky idea because they aren’t initially sure if they can be properly physical with one another or not so being together seems to start off as an exercise in frustration for both of them. A rare moment of levity between Clive and Livĭespite all of her misgivings last week she has decided to throw caution to the wind and resume her relationship with Major.
