i don't think it's a coincidence that "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is back for the second half of its first season on the same day the nation experiences record cold temperatures. Disney's been shaping global climate change for decades in anticipation of just this kind of situation.

can we officially refer to Courtney as 'post-human' yet?

the season finale where Oliver Queen appears out of nowhere, kills all of these guys & SHIELD pulls a replacement Agent Coulson out of storage in Tahiti is gonna be awesome.

the muckity-mucks at Disney had lobbied hard for a talking dog but Whedon is holding on to him for his "Avengers: Age of Ultron" post-credits sequence.

whoa. i smell an unexploited demographic here!

and not many people get addicted to heroin when they have absolutely no financial resources to exploit. and maybe three weeks maximum to go from boy scout to full-on junkie. and can't leave a single room.

well, because … because … "My So-Called Life"!

let me see if i follow the logic here: sure "Homeland" has gotten ridiculous & silly but every other TV show on a non-cable channel is ridiculous & silly & "Homeland" had a spectacular first season. oh, & Claire Danes — because "My So-Called Life".

good god, yes.
