I enjoyed the 1st ep. It was pretty interesting.

Since nobody answered my question, I guess I'll ask it again:
How was Hulu able last week to stream the second episode of this show when it hasn't even aired yet? I watched it, and within a few hours afterward it wasn't there anymore.

it was probably posted early by mistake. I recall it happened before on a different show & was pulled soon afterwards.

It's not uncommon for new shows to release the second episode early online or on VOD. Recently, The Returned did the same thing and quite a few shows have done it in the past.

Wow I had no idea that was the same chick. Whatever they did to her in the "before" segments of the show made her look horrible.

I loved the second episode too, perhaps more than the first.
I didn't understand watching the pilot that she would be slightly different each week, depending on the brains that she ate. She was killing me this week, being so sensual. Can't wait to see what next week holds.

Tried watching the first episode, but couldn't get through it. Bailed after 40 minutes or so. Too many shows competing for my time right now and this just didn't make the cut. I'm a fan of Rob Thomas too, but this one just wasn't for me.

I've loved David Anders since Alias so I was happy we got to see more of his character in this episode. He definitely has a Spike vibe in this show.
Still not loving the murder of the week aspect, but everything else is great.

Did care too much for the second episode. Didn't care about the case of the week at all, and I'm not really sold on the idea of the main character having a major personality shift every week. I'd like to spend a little more time getting to know Olivia first. Also, the sexual assault scene seemed a bit out of place. Like they needed something to create a bit of tension going to commercial so they just threw it in and then dropped it.
I know Thomson has said the villain is suppose to be charming and like Buffy's Spike, but his charm was lost on me. Perhaps it's just my own bias since I've never really gotten the male goth sex appeal thing. His corpse-like appearance was especially distracting during the bar pickup scene.

Oh, hell, that's who he was. It was driving me nuts... I knew that he was some I had seen before, but couldn't place him at all.

David Anders also played Dr. Frankenstein on ONCE UPON A TIME.
2nd episode not good as the pilot but still had some fun scenes. Especially when Liv was in hot-to-trot
mode.

I gave it another shot because my wife liked the pilot way more than I did. Now we both are out. zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Not as good as the pilot, but I still thought it was OK.
Murder of the week was pretty boring and I'm not sure I care for the psychic aspect of her powers. It makes things too easy and convenient when solving the murders.

Just realized after watching the 2nd episode that Liv's roommate is Aly Michalka, who was on the cheerleading drama from a few years ago called "Hellcats" Except she was blonde back then.
Don't have a lot to say about episode 2. Thought it was alright. I did like how Anders character messed around with that cougar and they casually show a few scenes later that she's now a zombie.

This could be called iVampire without having to change the script. Not very zombie-like. That said, the idea of a brain-dealing zombie selling to those he has turned is a good one.

Another solid episode. Shades of VM all over the place. But really, is there a single sci-fi / horror show that David Anders hasn't been on?

Once again, I goofed and forgot to set a One Pass on my tivo, fortunately, ep 2 re-airs again tonight. I have already fixed my error and set future eps to record (I really enjoyed the first episode).
