The Patriot Synopsis & Cast List

Here's the description for the SHIELD episode airing on the 17th. I wonder if this is the same secret Jemma threatened to reveal.
Coulson and Mack discover a shocking secret about Mace, which leaves all of S.H.I.E.L.D. in a dangerous position.

Star Wars is 3rd Highest-Grossing Film Franchise

Star Wars has surpassed James Bond as the third highest-grossing film franchise in history. This puts it behind only Harry Potter and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Marvel pumping out three movies a year for the next few years, it's likely to keep the top spot. Star Wars will put out two more films before the Fantastic Beasts sequel, which should allow it to claim number two.

Ranking
  1. MCU - $10.9B
  2. Harry Potter - $8.5B
  3. Star Wars - $7.2B
  4. James Bond - $7.1B
  5. Lord of the Rings - $5.9B

Wonder Woman in Empire

The latest issue of Empire Magazine has a feature on the upcoming Wonder Woman movie. I've included a quote from director Patty Jenkins on Diana's philosophy
She isn't just taking out bad guys or fighting crime. She believes in goodness and love. [She] is fierce and willing to fight, but only to protect a better vision for mankind. Hers is really a coming-of-age story.

Spoiler warning regarding Laurel (especially if what I read on Reddit is true).

The Return of Doctor Mysterio Review

I knew this story was inspired by Superman, but I didn't realize quite how far that would go. Grant basically got his powers because he wanted to be like Superman. His powers even derive from the sun (though indirectly). I still think the girlfriend reporter who works for The Daily Chronicle/Planet is a bit too much. At least the spinning globe was on top of Harmony Shoal and not the newspaper office.

Why is a squeaky toy an effective interrogation technique? Is the Doctor just naïve enough to think it can actually feel pain? I mean, it's mildly annoying, but that's all.

Was the Doctor trying to reach Amy and Rory? That device he was building should have allowed him to reach 1938 Manhattan, we was previously off-limits. I'm not sure it would have done anything about the whole fixed-point-knowing-their-future business. I do like how in typical Doctor Who fashion, the machine appears to be cobbled from spare parts.

Hacking Pokemon Go is a very clever distraction. I'm headcanoning that he dismissed the game as another silly human thing before becoming addicted. If he made the TARDIS a Pokestop, he could lure potential companions.

One of the beauties of Doctor Who is that it can do any genre imaginable. Historical dramas, westerns, murder mysteries, and now superheroes have all been done. Star Trek is similar due to the holodeck (though the lack of one didn't stop Enterprise from doing a western).

So can the Doctor summon the TARDIS by whistling now? Or was that just Nardole? He certainly seemed to think it was possible.
