That looks almost stunningly terrible.

First three episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  Pretty good, but it seems disturbingly similar to Don't Mess with the Bitch in Apt. 23 with a slower pace and less snark.  I'm waiting for the James Van Der Beek character to show up.

Yeah, it's a really questionable concept.  Still, even weak concepts can sometimes work if they're well-executed.  Not saying that this is well-executed.  If they actually showed the best bits in the trailer, it's gonna be awful.

iZombie.

Pretty silly, yet funny.  Zombies are close to vampires than their Walking Dead friends.  They retain a sort of human appearance, they retain their conscience and they can choose on whom to feed.

Story: young girl goes to party, gets attacked by zombies, survives but is transformed.  Quit her internship jobs as a cardiac surgeon to work at the local morgue and feed on dead people's brains.  By doing so, she gets insights into the last moments of that person, as well as some part of her identity, like language and a small part of their personality.  It lasts for a little while.  She decides to help the dead get some justice by helping police find their killer.

As I said, it's silly, but quite funny in its own way.  I'll watch next week episode to see if it's still fun :)

Star Wars: Rebels.
Anime stuff, I feel like I'm slipping down on CdM's most hated list.

About on par with the latest Clone Wars seasons.  Aimed at teenagers, which is like, 90% of us here :P
Still a pretty good show.  Can't imagine how good it would have been in a live action setting.  Sorta like Firefly with lightsabers, I guess ;)

It's computer animated, not sure what the anime reference is referring to?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
