So true. This month is the nice relaxing calm before the storm. October is going to be crazy jam packed with stuff I'll watch.

I prefer shorter seasons too but I still want more iZombie, so for me the perfect scenario would be if the CW orders the back 9 and the writers treat it like a separate season.

13 episodes is the sweet spot, imo. Look how quickly season 2 is coming back. I can understand more episodes for shows like The Flash and Arrow but you don't want over saturate iZombie.

Yeah, I don't have any interest in something beyond 13 episodes for a show like this. They could very easily pad it out with "Brain of the week" episodes, but I'd rather they keep things tight like the latter episodes in the first season. I don't think I could have dealt with 9-12 more episodes of Liv lying to Major for no reason.
That is a writer problem, not a season length problem. Bad writers drag out stuff like that over an entire season. Let's take Grey's Anatomy as an example, which does two major arcs each year. You basically get two iZombie-length seasons in a year. The Vampire Diaries' 3 first seasons had the same things. You had 3-4 major storylines in one year. TVD was a completely different show by the end of that first season because of the amount of stuff they covered. Well, TVD has that now too but the stories are a bit less tight than they were. Even the reveal to Major for the first season, that is something that could have just as well been a mid-season finale. The fallout of that which is now season 2 could have just as well been the second half of a full-length season.

I think I'd be cool with 16 with an 8/8 split but it's probably better for it to stay 13 episodes, makes room for one of the mid-season shows.
The turn around is so quick though because it premiered in mid-season, after these 13 episodes are done we could have a nine or so month wait.

I just finished the first season of Masters of Sex.
The next season of iZombie is going to be funny now.

I'll be watching a ton of premieres in October, but this just might be the one I'm the most excited for.
I'd say make a season 2 thread... sometimes helps draw outside interest to a show
And this is a show, people need to watch!
Anaron should have a thread up before the season premieres.
yup.

I don't trust this Anaron guy.
Do we know if he has watched the show?

Sorry, not venturing into the S2 OT yet as I don't want to be spoiled. Binged the 1st season on Netflix the past few days, and I've really enjoyed it. It makes you care about the characters very quickly.
glad you like it! it just gets better and better.
catch up and join us in the S2 thread.
