The Walking Dead really loves to remind people of that season finale they all hated. Of course this probably means the new season will open to record numbers just for people wanting to know who died. It worked for the new season of American Horror Story.

Gotham is a good show. Is there some stupid story beats? Of course, but the sum of all the parts is an enjoyable, over the top show.

So as much as I love Agents of Shield I gotta say the season 4 opener really did nothing for me. It was establishing the new status quo while simultaneously being annoyingly coy about just what that is. The way they kept talking about the nebulous director didn't pique my interest, it just made me not care and want them to just get on with it. LMD was interesting. I liked the Rider himself, but didn't particularly find his story interesting, I especially wasn't interested in Daisy's story. There was just a lot of characters moping about not being able to do the things they wanted to do, and for some reason none of it was garnering my sympathy.

It was an okay episode, but it really felt like one of those "bridge" episodes on Game of Thrones; where they spend the entire episode setting things up and then make you wait a week for the payoff. It's even more annoying with Game of Thrones, because there are only 10 episodes a season and you're wasting 10% of the season as a lead in to the "real" episode.

Question. Since they are filmed in Canada and several of the leads are Canadians do the DC tv shows count as CanTent for the broadcast regulations up here?

A Canadian production company needs to be involved to qualify, along with certain amounts of key staff. The CW shows don't qualify, since their staff is all LA based and they're only shooting in BC for the savings. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Sep 24, 2016 |

Agents of Shield had another badass episode, here's some of the key points I took away (spoilered just in case): - They've introduced what connects this show to Doctor Strange: the Darkhold. It's an evil book of black magic spells and was responsible for creating the first vampire and werewolf in the MCU. Could this potentially open the door for Blade in the MCU as well? - About the new Director of Shield: His name is Jeffrey and he's apparently an Inhuman with super strength. People are convinced this guy is Jeffrey Mace, otherwise known as The Patriot and also has taken the mantle as Captain America when Steve Rogers dissapeared. - Ghost Rider continues to be badass, his effects are great! In this episode as Ghost Rider he literally burns a ghost's soul with a penance stare. In terms of backstory, Robbie said he "sold his soul to the devil", but I suspect that his Uncle Eli (who he is tied to in the comics) will be the one who obtained the Darkhold and became a spirit of vengeance. - Apparently the actress who plays Daisy did all of the stunts (including the scene where she's hanging onto the top of the Ghost Rider charger) herself. Great stuff overall! It's a bummer there's a week or two-week break now for the next episode

To address the devil thing (without spoilers since it was in promo material for over a week), that scene played pretty loose with the devil mention. I think it will be that the book will be more key to his origins than them just mixing his origin with the Blaze version of the character. Also, unless that book is a part of the story of the Doctor Strange movie, its not an actual connection. Being connected in the comics doesn't mean much, since this is not the comics. Despite that, this episode was definitely better than the first by far. But I am starting to dread that Ghost Rider is going to be someone we barely see because of that costs of his effects. He had one tiny scene, and Robbie's eye's glowing and lighting objects on fire is going to get old quickly. This season *could* shape up to be the best yet by far. Such an immediate hiatus really stinks though.

The book might not be an actual connection (who knows what the movie will involve), but what it DOES do is introduce the concept of magic in the MCU. I had said it was a possible connection with Strange mainly because the book has been used in Doctor Strange stories before in the comics. And yeah, it's kind of a shame they're really limiting the use of the flaming skull because it's Ghost Rider's signature defining feature

Darkforce has actually already been introduced in the MCU in season 2 and three of AOS. Marcus Daniels/Blackout's powers came from an experiment with Darkforce. And that Russian Inhuman that controlled....shadows with dark force or something like that? Darkforce was also a huge plot in season 2 of Agent Carter.

A lot of similar names in the Marvel universe. In this case, Darkhold, not Darkforce. http://marvel.com/universe/Darkhold

I figured Darkforce was tapping into an alternative dimension (like negative energy), not necessarily magic - but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, I'm glad they're starting to explore cooler concepts in the show

The A.V. Club got early access to Luke Cage and gave it an A-. The review is getting me hyped to marathon it over the next week.quote:The past year hasn’t exactly represented the halcyon days of black America, and yet it’s given rise to the zenith of blackness in America. The silver lining around our tempestuous zeitgeist is that the country is being forced to consider blackness as its own distinct phenomenon. Even as some would declare race irrelevant—and it often is—they’ve also had to confront how Beyonce’s Lemonade made them feel, or consider why NBC’s The Wiz Live put a hard stop to the tradition of using live musicals in social media stoning rituals.
