Thoughts, ramblings and other stuff

And I mean bad in both senses - the bad because the story was lousy and the bad ending opposite of happy ending.

The first one is much more upsetting. I was so angry at the Once Upon a Time winter finale. I liked the Dark One storyline. It went back to the first season format but it worked well with the story and I loved Emma's Dark One. I loved Regina in the saviour role and Merlin was great (but I'm still upset they just killed him off like that). I rolled my eyes at Emma did it for love but Killian's Dark One was fun and I sat through worse story lines in OUaT. However, the way they went and undid everything with Gold. The way he just went back to being Dark One and lying to Belle and how Emma lets her stay with him for her own ends - it all made me fill like I just wasted the last several months on nothing. We are right were we where a year ago just before Belle found out his last betrayal and kicked him out of Storybrooke starting this whole thing.. They keep going back to status quo - with Regina and especially Gold - but this one really pissed me off. I'm on the edge of quitting this show. I'm just so annoyed that we just went through half of season for nothing. And the pairing off of Mulan and Red doesn't help. I understand they give fans the lesbian love story they asked for but they do it by putting spares together. And they do it by making them go on a quest together in a story that is so side that it's a side story to Mulan's side story. But for me the most annoying thing is that's another repeat. It was strongly implied when Mulan shown up the first time that she fell for Phillip when they were searching for Aurora. Then she fell for Aurora when they were searching for Phillip. Now she's off searching for more werewolves with Red. It's like she falls in love with whomever she happens to help in a quest. That's kind of offensive (to the character and viewers).

Then there is the whole slate of CW shows that decided to end on depressing note.

The iZombie winter finale took everything that was good and turned it to dust. They've been amping the side effects of brains this whole season and it finally fully hit. Liv was so happy when she and Major got back together but it tried to be the same thing it used to be and they are not the same people and their relationship cannot be the same again. This wasn't that bad since I was really upset by Major this season and he is still lying to her (for her own good - just like she did to him last season - those two need to quit with this abuse or quit each other for good). I would not be able to forgive if he was really killing all those people but this is barely better - he basically kidnaps people and stores them for later hoping the problem (Max Rager evil owners and zombies) will go away. This is not a real solution (neither was his weirdly short dip into addiction that he just quit when Liv gave him the right pep talk). And we now also know that there is no real solution. At least not long term. And that both he and Blain can turn back into zombies at any moment. So both Liv and Major relationship and search for cure goes back to square one but at least, unlike OUaT, the emotional and scientific journey actually progresses and that makes iZombie much less frustrating. Here people at least learn something.

The Originals made me the most aggravated because they gave me Rebekah (my precious, evil ray of sunshine) back and then took her away. Making her crazy evil along the way. She is once again staked and put in a box somewhere. The even worse alternative to her being put on a bus again. I understand that Claire Holt doesn't want to commit full time and Maisie Richardson-Sellers is in Star Wars now but I still wish there was a better way to disappear her character (I liked the previous reasons for Rebekah to leave so much better). And then they go and kill Cami after Klaus pretty much admits he loves her (at least to himself). I can't say if they just fully fridged her or is she coming back as vampire or whatever but she is going to e another excuse for him to go on a murder rampage anyway. What even worse she gets murdered by Klaus' psycho ex-girlfiend. They even gave her actual mental illness and then made her into the most ridiculous psycho ex-girlfiend stereotype. Ughhhh.

The Arrow has been teasing us with death of one (or several) members of Team Arrow the whole episode. Then we get some pretty impressive display of teamwork and nicely outsmarting the bad guy while not giving away Oliver's secret identity. But then Felicity gets shot anyway. This is why I didn't want Olicity. It's because I hate Felicity becoming The Girlfriend. This is what always happens to The Girlfriend - kidnapped, shot, at least not killed (but if she was pregnant and lost the baby I will need to hurt someone). Writers just love this trope - two CW shows ended with this one.

At least The Flash was mostly happy. The big secret is out and Joe got to meet his son and Iris her brother Wally. There is only that little issue of them setting up Harrison Wells as traitor. I think we are supposed to think - again - but my main pet peeve with this season is that they keep blaming Harrison Wells for what happened last season. But they never met real Harrison Wells. Not a single one of them. Just an impostor. Real Harrison Wells got the worst deal of them all. Not only he, and his fiancée, got murdered by Eobard Thawne. He also gets blamed for all that guy did. From devastating the city and creating metahumans to killing Barry's mum. And even the people who know he wasn't guilty blame him instead of at least trying to clear his name. Would it really be so hard to convince people a guy took over his face in a world full of people with superpowers (one of them actually even had that power)?

And now that I thought about it Agents of SHIELD also had a bad ending. I mean Fitz and Coulson are back but Will is dead, all the imprisoned Inhumans are dead and Lash and Maveth parasite are on the loose. HYDRA got everything they wanted and our heroes only managed not too die. Well, at least Ward is dead. That’s one good thing that came out of all of this.

I saw the final part of Hunger Games last week but I didn't know what to think about it. I'm still not sure. On one hand it was very well done, beautiful and had some clever comments on politics. On the other most of it seemed pointless and unsatisfying. Once again this feels like a perfect example why splitting a book into multiple movies means too much padding. A very pretty padding but padding still.

This episode piled up stupid and then we have the smart part in the quick resolution. Making Catching Fire just one movie would make this part shorter and we would have the rescue from last film here too so it wouldn't feel like being cheated to just watch some FX reel for the most of the movie.

The whole thing with the trip through capitol was completely pointless. All it did was killing some secondary characters I actually liked so Katniss could live her revenge fantasy. The events at the palace entrance would happen exactly the same way not matter if she was there or not. Of course whoever thought it was good idea to add Peeta to that trip - even the original version - was as bad.

Of course none of this (the revenge trip and subsequent deaths) would've happened if Katniss just stayed behind the lines - argued about strategy and politics - instead of going half-assed but she never listened. She's actually pretty good at that even though she hates it - the way she talks down that guy at the mines and ability to see behind the hatred and perceive enemy as human could've gotten her further than any arrows even in the anit-Snow quest. But instead she wants to walk alone into midfield and the people follow. At the end it reached the too stupid to live levels and I started disconnecting from her as point of view character. Of course she was being kept in the dark on all the plans. The whole Hunger Games thing left her with big trust issues and had the same do it myself attitude in other films no matter how many people tried to help. I get that. But I also understand why they didn't tell her anything since she had tendency to never believe anyone, blame herself for everything and then try to fix it single handedly to the point of being suicidal. I get it got her this far but the whole thing with trying to be better than an army and do the revenge personally was pretty childish and self-centred. It would've been better squished into one film with Peeta rescue. Split it takes up most of the movie making the finale feel pointless.

I also disliked the way they handled Katniss blaming Gale for the bomb. She almost sound like she accuses him of planting it but if he knew he wouldn't go there. The most she can blame him is the idea but it isn't his idea. This is a very old idea. In fact it made me feel a little creepy as the Paris attackers planned something like this on the stadium - the first bomb was to cause panic and drive crowds towards the next ones. I get why she chooses Peeta. It was getting pretty obvious she and Gale had different life goals. She wanted to be left alone and he wanted to change the world. This would've been enough (I know it was in the book but it seemed to me in the book it was like she knew she would blame him even though he wasn't guilty or at least that's how I saw it).

At least the ending was worth it. The whole thing with Coin becoming just like Snow and starting the Hunger Games cycle all over again using crowd thirst for revenge as justification was perfect. Too many revolutions ended like that - creating rule as bad or even worse than the one it replaced. The hardest part, the biggest test after any revolution, even the soft ones, is ability to let go off the power. Coin couldn't do it.

It made me sad again about Philip Seymour Hoffman. Plutarch Heavensbee became my favourite character and the way he manipulated Katniss was perfect. She was trying so hard not to be manipulated that it just made it easier. I'm still suspicious he just put who he liked most at the power and rule of oligarchs behind the ruler is barely any better than a one totalitarian supreme leader but all the clues show he has good intentions so maybe he is the one to let go off the power. At least Katniss seems pretty happy with the world few years after so it seemed to work out.

OMG! I'm so glad this was not the last episode before spring because I couldn't take over 3 months of waiting to see someone harm Ward in the most horrible ways. Man I love hating him. He's such a perfect douchebag.


One of the things that makes Ward such a fun villain to hate is that he considers himself the hero of his story. He is the one wronged. His actions are justified by his bad childhood. By abuse. By Garrett. But most of all by his love - of his brother, Skye, Kara. He is going to be the hero for them whether they want it or not. Even when they ask him to stop. Like Skye did when he kept kidnapping her against her will. Or like when Thomas was so creeped out by his promises to save him that he hid and changed his name. Or like when he was saving Kara so hard he killed her. He doesn't want to loose them but he does every time because of his own actions.

He kills and tortures people but there is always justification for it. It was my parents fault, my brother's, Garrett's or simply you were mean to me so I will come and murder you and/or people you care about. And of course bad things that happen to him are never his fault. He takes no responsibility for Kara's death - it's May's fault and Coulson's - never his own. Burning his family alive - it's like he doesn't get why his brother doesn't appreciate the gesture. He can't seem to understand why noone gets it.

But the thing is they do. As Daisy said - she understands but she doesn't forgive. This is a thing about the bad past. It is a cause but it is not a justification. What he does is not OK. No amount of bad past makes it OK.

I wasn’t sure about Phil/Roz before but they were precious together tonight and then Ward came and destroyed it like only he could. I'm a little angry about this. She was basically fridged so that Coulson could go off deep end because of this. I also dislike that after all that teasing about whether ATCU is evil or not they just went and killed both Roz and Banks the moment after we finally learn they were good all along.

I wonder if the AoS showrunners get to watch other Marvel series before all of us (or read the scripts or something) because this episode had a lot of parallels with Jessica Jones. From the large thematic ones between Ward and Kilgrave (justifying his own shitiness with bad childhood and not excepting responsibility for his actions) and Ward and Simpson (failed attempt to be a hero that just kills and turns people around him against him) to small visuals like Banks death when he is forced to kill people against his will and just manages to say "it wasn't me" before he dies. All this in the first episode after JJ premiered.

But it did make them fall right into HYDRA plan. Phil is loosing it - he gets reckless and stupid. Thomas play was clever but his tunnel vision has put Fitz and Simmons in peril and left him unconscious on an alien planet with evil Inhuman and HYDRA running around. Good thing he made one sane decision before he left. He made Mack acting director (that's a nice career - mechanic, traitor, superhuman supervisor, director of SHIELD) and after few moments of adjustment he gets hold of this disaster in the making. The Secret Warriors are a go.

Poor Fitzsimmons - it looks like the Universe (the writers) really have something against them. Jemma is the only one who knows how bad the thing out there is so she doesn't break. She is even contemplating leaving Will there if it means that thing stays put too. But Fitz is right how can you leave another human stranded there? He can't leave Will to die there and he certainly cannot let Jemma suffer. I hope he has a plan to kill two birds with one stone by taking HYDRA there. He's got pretty badass when Jemma was gone. And he has Caulson as back-up now.

I know there are theories Will is that thing. That he was it all along. But then why would he sabotage the portal finding trip with Simmons - it would've taken him to Earth. Why would he try to stop her from leaving with sandstorm instead of going with her? But I like the theories it will take someone over - hopefully Ward.


There is only one more episode left before the break. I'm excited for Agent Carter coming back but it will be a long wait for this show to come back.

I liked this episode of Doctor Who. Even though it was a bottle episode and had only one character in it. Also Peter Capaldi is a great actor and he seemed to have great fun doing this. I also like the visuals of the clockwork castle. It was very opening credits like.

I figured out it was a loop by the time Doctor found the clothes but it was a nice look at how much work Doctor puts in figuring it all out. And also at his ego - even in his imagination he needs audience to impress.

There are few recurring themes this season. The frenemy part - after long enough time you can't always tell the difference - Missy, Davros, Ashildr (Me) but now it also seems to include the Time Lords. Then there is how they keep teasing us with Clara's death - it basically happens in every story she's in (Daleks, Zygons, now the Raven) - it's getting hard to imagine how the real thing is going to be like. And now we have the whole thing with the will and testament being the forced confession. A torture device meant for extracting all the deepest secrets. Even if it takes billions of years.

But we are back at Gallifrey. Finally, some answers! Like who is that old woman.

I just finished The Man in the High Castle. They dropped it early yesterday and once I started watching I couldn't stop (I mean I could - I slept and went to work - but I spent rest of the time watching).

The series is incredibly beautiful and done with an amazing attention to detail. The way it shows the alternative 60s in US that are both familiar and alien. The slow measured shots and muted colouring that make only one colour stand out - red. Like on the occupiers flags - the background to swastikas and the Imperial Rising Sun. And blood.

The slowly unfurling plot shows the truths about living under totalitarian rule. Many believe they would fight to do end and someone do but most people just keep their head down and try to survive. Live their lives. In art (literature/movies) it’s almost always shown from the perspective of a dissident. It sells to have a hero be someone fighting against the system. But that’s not the lives of most people.

People under those regimes mostly live pretty ordinary and boring lives - they do shopping, send kids to school and watch sports - while ignoring the bad things that happen. Sure you know but as long as it doesn’t affect you or your family you can stop thinking about it and convince yourself it isn't really that bad. This becomes your new normal and you get used to it. If you keep your head down and don’t draw attention to yourself you can have a pretty good life. You just need to stop thinking about what happens to those people who said something. They deserve it anyway.

So people in the Nazi part say Seig Heil to SS officer next door and sell the remnants of their culture to please the new rulers. They ignore disappearing neighbours. Agree with whatever brand of racism government spouts as long as they are not one of the persecuted. And even then most just try to keep their heads down and hope they'll be missed until there is no there choice. Until it's them or their loved ones and they have to choose.

Polish history of last 200 years is one occupation after another so I have plenty of references there. During the prison torture all I could think of were scenes from Stalinist prisons (although other regimes do plenty of that too) and Nazis considered us subhuman and planned to kill us all (after they were done with the non-humans like Jews and Roma they were to finish of enslaved Slavic populations - they just run out of time here).


I loved how those choices are not easy here. Frank can either lose Juliana or his family. Keep his integrity and a little hope of freedom or break. He chooses the former and pays horrifying price. Would he change his decision if he had to do it all over again? I think he hoped to the end they were just trying to scare him. That they wouldn't actually do it. And then the guilt and grief is too much. It's like Trudy's father - he believed the Kempeitai would keep the promise and let her live - because it was easier to believe this lie than to face the truth. Easier than facing consequences.

John Smith - our most evil of main characters who kills and tortures and blackmails people with the lives of their children is also a loving family man (also many seem shocked despite many, even very prominent, Nazi war criminal being described so) but when he is confronted with a horrible choices he can't do it. Torturing Semite scum is easy but he get squeamish about old friends. And he just can't even allow to consider the fate of his son. This is a genetic disease his brother also died from and now he should do the right thing. As we learn in first episode they kill and burn disabled in the Großdeutsche Reich so he can't even make himself acknowledge the diagnosis because than he would have to kill him. His wife says it's better this way - not letting them suffer but would she still think that if she knew?

I also loved how they shown the differences between the two occupations. In Nazi Reich white Americans of the right background get integrated into the master race. The seeds were already there and people switch sides with "I always felt that way anyway" and become the good Nazis. the purge leaves more to us, right?

On the other end we have the result of the conquerors being different race. So instead of integrating into master race you have to find a way to live with one. The dominant culture takes liking to the one conquered creating a whole market when mass produced cheep art fulfils the need for authentic Americana for every Japanese. Look some even get themselves American names and rooms full of trophies. And even an authentic American who they discard as soon as he is not the walking stereotype they were looking for. It such a nice cometary on both the treatment of Native Americans (I don't think that was accidental choice for forgery) and black people (the way that couple treats that merchant and the way he tries and fails to rebel against it) in US.


We get those little humanising touches to even the biggest monsters (and then we meet people even worse than them). Both Obergruppenführer John Smith and Inspector Kido have reasons that in their minds justify what they did and even get their heroic moments. You end up rooting for them a little and then you remember what kind of monsters they are and feel ashamed. But in a way they are right - if you believe Jack Bauer was right and torturing enemies of the state is justified to preserve safety then they have the right to do it. What is the a life of one person compared to what would happen if the war starts?


But I do feel a little dirty now that I cheered when Smith outsmarted that asshole Reinhard Heydrich (the butcher of Africa) and was on the edge of my seat hoping Kido want commit seppuku (he turned out to be the better devil - one keeping the cruelty to necessary levels)


And now let me freak out about the revelations at the end.

OMG! OMG! OMG The end! So many questions.


Does that mean Hitler is the Man in the High Castle? He collects all of those films in his castle in the mountains. He obviously has a better grasp on reality than anyone thinks (better than ours did and also a lot more experience surviving assassination attempts) so he might be the one using Resistance to fulfil his alternate history fetish. It diverts their resources and gives him some entertainment. It probably doesn't matter if he loses few operatives along the way.

Does this mean Trade Minister Tagomi is the man behind the movies? Does he bring them from alternate reality (ours)? Multiple alternate realities I think- as Frank and Joe alive in 60s so that post A-bomb city couldn't be in our timeline. And I think his assistant knows - that's why he insisted he should meditate. Did he met Juliana there and that's why he insist on keeping her? Was that Trudy Juliana saw from another world? Does Kido know of this too?


I know it's expensive series but it's awesome so I hope it becomes popular and gets some hype so they'll make a second season. I don't want it to end like this.

Over the past few weeks I have fallen for Limitless. I didn’t expect to. I haven’t seen the movie and the whole idea seemed boring and rehash of that horrible we only use 10% of the brain idea. When I heard they were making a TV series based on that I found the idea ridiculous and planned to ignore it but the reviews were good so I decided to try. And it was a good choice because this series is awesome.

It so much fun. There is a lot of humour and fun and it's mostly Brian but also Brian's interactions with the rest of the team. The rule right now with crime shows with supersmart guys solving something is to make them assholes. The snark is funny but after a while it's all the same. Brian is nice and he cares about people. He loves his family (that's how he gets into this mess) and empathises with his friends and co-workers (when too smart Brian turns into too much of a selfish jerk real Brian comes out to fix it and do the right thing - like with telling Rebecca). He solves the crime using his brain on NZT but he often closes the leads by being able to connect with people (and believe in them). His like a Labrador puppy - lovable, enthusiastic and hyperactive - that solve crimes. But he needs someone to hold grab him by the collar when he gets to carried out.

That someone is Rebecca - his main FBI handler - who is the rational one and Brian's knight in shining armour who is always there to get him out of the messes he puts himself in and stops his more wild ideas before he gets into too much trouble or break too many laws. She puts him in place and fights for him when he needs saving.

There are Mike and Ike (not their real names) who administer NZT and keep an eye on Brian. He keeps escaping at first but they become friends in the end (the dog comparison idea came to me when I watched Ike throw treats for Brian to catch). Only now that their friends it starts to look little bad when Brian ignore their real names.

Then there is Boyle that starts rightfully annoyed by the whole set up and Brian gets on his nerves (his a little much sometimes) but he is the guy with most prominent sense of right and wrong. And Naz - the boss that starts really hard on Brian and seems very shady at the beginning but actually does all she can to save him from a lab rat existence and working with the FBI instead of being worked on.

I love the way they show Brian's world on NZT - from the yellow filter that makes everything warmer and brighter to all the text bubbles and multiple Brians.

I love the homages and references to different pop culture items - including different movie genres.


The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off episode was wonderful.

Saving Naz was pure greatness - especially the 8-bit game.

But yesterday was perfection. I thought Naz “No” song was best thing ever but then we got The Bruntouchables with montage of all the sequels getting more and more ridiculously clichéd and I lost it. I was LOLign. Like literally laughing out loud. I mean how you stay serious with Mike in drag and Rebecca crying at The Muntachables? Or the geriatric version? And then there was that The Abyss CPR scene.


I never though anything could make Tuesdays as good as when they included Person of Interest but Limitless make them at least as much fun. It is for sure the day I wait for (The Flash and The Muppets and Agents of SHIELD and iZombie and Limitless).

The creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000 has taken it to kickstarter to bring the show back for one more season. Now that the legal problems have been solved all they need is 5.5 million dollars to make it happen (not a lot for 12 episodes). If they don't get there they have shorter season in mind depending on how much they can get. The minimum is 2 million and they are already over 1.3 with 30 days to go so I think that it should at least reach funding.

There is only a little over a week left and here's Jessica facing her biggest nemesis



The Expanse premiere is only a month away and I'm getting more and more excited with every trailer. Look a real proper science fiction in space.

So the sunshine is still not here. The best we got was few days of just clouds instead of clouds and non-stop rain. And it switched from hot and raining to cold and raining. Three days ago I had to switch the AC back on because it was getting 25C inside my apartment (same as outside) and with the humidity it was just too sticky. It at least got the humidity down (92% outside but only 72% inside). Then Sunday came with cold wind and no rain for a moment so I enjoy a moment of getting a little drier. And then I woke up today to the sound of falling rain. It was barely above 10C and rained the whole day. Of course as a Polish person (and generally European from North side of Alps) this is what I consider true November weather. This is why it is the worst month - rain, mud, cold and very short days made even shorter by the clouds and rain. The trees are bare, the skies are grey and the days are getting shorter. November in Europe is what depression looks like.

Here usually is not that bad. US is generally much much sunnier - way more sunny days in a year (except Pacific Northwest which has similar weather to Western Europe). I started to get used to autumn and November being sunny and pretty warm. This is usually when the best fall colours happen around here - the yellow, red and orange against blue skies looks amazing. But this year all the rain has already taken all the leaves out. They were still getting not fully changed last weekend and this one they were all gone. I blame the El Niño - I'm told it makes this part of the continent very rainy when it happens.

So this is the best autumn pic I got - a week ago (if you look closely you can see the rain)


So here is something to take the mind off the weather - new Star Wars trailers with new footage

It's cold, dark and raining outside. The election results are even more depressing and I'm swamped by work. But at least there's TV.

Yesterday it was the time to meet Supergirl.

It was so much better than watching Gotham (which is now bordering on masochism). It was fun and it was enjoying being fun. But of course everyone already said that. It made me a little anxious about how cheesy it was going to be but it was mostly great. Some of the effects made Supergirl look like a ragdoll and some of the plot suffered from pilotitis (when they try to pack so much to pilot that the time only allows for tropes) but most of it was absolutely endearing.


From Kara's optimism and joy at her accomplishments and powers to her reaction to meeting James Olsen. Her joy at trying flying again was infectious. I wanted to scream at her sister who just put it out. She could've at least say thank you. Of course it turned out she just wanted her out of the cross-hairs of the super secret, anti-alien organisation she works for. But at least we know that there are those in US government who consider Superman and Supergirl illegal aliens who should be deported or at least observed at all times.

But I liked how Alex turned around to chose Kara's side. It might be a shock to Kara to not to be invulnerable but the possibility of loosing her sister clearly shown Alex where her loyalties really lie. And the she talks her to keep being superhero and helps her figure out how to defeat the bad guy and it was awesome.

Also her crush on James Olsen, complete with stammering and not knowing were to look, was adorable. So was her general tendency to explain things in very excited way. In fact it reminded me of Jemma Simmons (just little less coherent) and we all know she does ramble in most lovable way.

The WB rules on separation of big and small screen action make some iffy choices - like Clark apparently hasn't spoken to his cousin in years (no calls, texts, internet? he could've at least like her on facebook) so he sends her messages second hand by other people and she has to ask them what he is like.

And the co-worker with crush veered a little into creepy territory (even though the costume part were funny the first try was "ugh") so I hope they'll fix that. And I hope Calista Flockhart's boss character will become less of a caricature as now she seems kind of on Miss Piggy level and that only works for felt characters.



Today on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. we learn what really happened to doctor Jemma Simmons.


I waited for this the whole week. After all the search for her and then that sudden rescue. After seeing what that world did to her we were to see what happened there.

And look at her start - it's all about the science. It's a way to deal and stave panic and keep hope. There is always an explanation and a way to figure out a way out. So Simmons. Look at how much hope she still has.

But we all know it’s not going to last. First, there was just dehydration and hunger and loneliness (a monster from the deep). Basically like The Martian only with an atmosphere. There is even stranded astronaut.

So now with more resources she figures a way back. She figures how the portal works and where it will open next. She sacrifices the rest of her battery and with it the memories of the life she left on Earth but it is to go back to Earth. And they fail. They fail to even send the message.

So she seeks comfort in Will. This is what happens when you lose hope and the two of you are the only humans on the planet. When your one hope of going back is lost and there is some benevolent force with you there that will do anything to stop you from going back and will try to kill you whenever it can.

I never expected Fitzsimmons to be the will they/ won’t they couple of this show though. You know - the one when they keep throwing obstacles at so they never get together. Until the series finale, of course. Or everyone getting tired and abandoning ship.

But I did expect Jemma and Will to become a thing since they met (the only two people in the world) and it was obvious she wanted to back for someone important to her) so I’m not surprised . But the sound of all the Fitzsimmons shippers hearts breaking was deafening. Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be back together eventually.

But we know the Fitz never stopped looking for Jemma and that he would do anything to get her back. And when the flare comes she instantly knows who send it through.

And because Fitz is the best person (one she believed in for so long) - he is ready to do all he can to rescue Will. Will who just saw the sunshine for a brief moment first time in years before it disappeared. Just like Jemma Simmons and hope.


When I thing about it both of them are pretty similar. I'm sure they'd be great friends if not for living in Universes further apart than Earth and that dust planet (or Krypton).

And when all fails here's a cat burglar

Today is Back to the Future day. October 21, 2015 is the date that Doc and Marty arrived at in the Back to the Future II film. So everyone is comparing the future imagined in the 80s to the one we are actually living in. Cars don't fly, there is no fusion reactors and you cannot hydrate your pizza in seconds. We still, disappointingly, need glasses to watch 3D, hoverboards are barely functional (or are just tiny scooters) and Pepsi Perfect is just for people with too much money. But big flatscreens are everywhere and a lot of screens are touchscreens (if you count smartphones most even). We have fingerprint locks and pocket cameras in our smartphones and we can videochat whenever we feel like it (my main way of talking to my family). You can talk to your devices - from phones to TV to some house (and get super frustrated if it doesn't deal well with your accent or speech patterns). The movies had no idea of internet which became a big thing in the future and now we all carry powerful computers that keep us connected to it all the time. Payphones, maps and faxes are mostly forgotten. And Nike has just released (in very limited numbers) the self-lacing shoes. But a lot of companies hope to cash in on the nostalgia.

There is a new short coming in the new blue-ray edition with this extra message from Doc Brown himself


And a documentary about filming BttF


And for those disappointed with the future - CH feels you


EDIT:
The Back to the Future Trilogy in 90 Seconds
