My wife and I usually watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. together, a series that she initially didn’t want to watch at all. Now, however, she’s so into it that she watched the newest episode without me. Without me, the person who got her into it in the first place! (Same thing happened with Lost, though the roles were reversed.)
I was laid up by a cold and/or allergies (the jury’s still out) and didn’t watch the show until the following day. Nevertheless I had a heads up as to what to expect due to my wife’s unprompted bedside dialog:
“How you feeling? Can I get you anything? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is really dark. Maybe too dark.”
The series is definitely dark, particularly of late, and episode #8 is no different. With a title like The Things we Bury, how could it not be? The title refers to physical burials involving dead bodies and a buried wishing well, plus emotional burials of past traumas, some involving said wishing well.
Most of this darkness stems from Grant “is he bad or good” Ward and his “Conjunction Junction, What’s your Dysfunction” family. He seems to want redemption, but he darkens so much in this episode that I join my wife in wondering — is he redeemable?

It’s time for the rebellion to start and in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 the volatile story of Katniss Everdeen continues with able direction, adequate acting, but with the usual predictable storyline. The filming and CGI gets better than the last installment showing explosive battles that are more realistic looking than the games in Catching Fire. Characters are added and the rebel skirmishes become intense with Director Francis Lawrence cutting the film at a fairly reasonable intermission point. But most of the fan based audience will walk away empty with little more than a taste of what they hope will come in the finale.

Today, history…future history, just happened to be made when Bob Gale, co-creator/writer/producer of the Back to the Future trilogy, succeeded in signing off on the printer’s proof of the new, soon-to-be-released, “Back to the Future Almanac”.
Jennifer Smith, co-author of the book and our resident Beyond the Marquee Sci-Fi correspondent, sent BTM staffers a picture of our good friend, Mr. Gale, proudly holding up the new book complete with dust jacket. No word yet on whether they opted to utilize dust-repellent paper. Underneath the customized jacket, the book’s cover actually does resemble the 2015 Grays Sports Almanac as seen in Back to the Future Part II. A fitting tribute and design for a real life Back to the Future Almanac.
Published by Arkitext Ltd., the “Back to the Future Almanac” (1985-2015) will be the Official Collector’s Guide for all things Back to the Future covering merchandise made throughout 30 years of the complete movie trilogy, “Back to the Future: The Animated Series,” the Universal theme park rides, the comic book series, and beyond. It’s the best thing fans can get for time-travelling back through decades of memorabilia, artwork, books, time machines and the toys created for the greatest film trilogy of all time.
