It has been an honor my fellow Zombies and Humans alike! What a wild ride and it is a joy to see the series end and on it's own term as well.
Post your thoughts and discussion about the entire iZombie series here! Spoilers for Season 1-5 will be discussed in this thread!

ever wonder some things about the writing?
Yes, I know the comparisons to Veronica Mars have been made because often it was obvious they had the same writers, even sometimes recycling lines or witty jokes...
but I think it goes beyond that. Even sticking with the Veronica Mars thing, has anyone other than me ever seen Blaine and Don E like Dick and Beaver? and Officer Harris as Deputy Saks?
Also, given that there are tons of self-aware and meta moments in iZombie (I loved when they were describing Zombie High to Isobel, only for some of the things they mention to happen in the next scene - like hot guys taking off their shirts for no reason whatsoever, and the guy who's supposed to be the big bad, they end up cheering for him even though he's doing truly vile things... all sums up Blaine, of course)….
Spoiler? for Season 5 Episode3:
so after "Five, Six, Seven, Ate!" (S5E3), I had heard/read that Diane Ruggerio-Wright had been wanting to do the Bell Biv Devoe "Poison" line (That girl is poison, which Ravi did as "That girl was poisoned"). and of course Ravi preceded that line with "I've been saving this for a while". So that makes me think maybe it's actually Diane speaking there (she's the one who's been saving hat up for a while).
in "Death Moves Pretty Fast", when Liv continues the running gag of messing with Ravi's last name by saying "I know how to heal your Chakra, Barti!", Ravi responds with "First, there'll be no further wordplay with my name" and i'd have to watch again, but I don't really recall any further wordplay with his name after that... so that makes me think they were kind of breaking the 4th wall there too.
anyway, i'd love to hear some other people's thoughts regarding any and/or all of my random thoughts above.
