Tonight’s episode is really heavy: It not only has Coulson confronting his own death (and remember, he’s died before, in The Avengers movie), but has the S.H.I.E.L.D. team trying to save the Earth by amassing some strange elemental force called Gravitonium.

SERIES PREMIERE: This new Netflix import comes from Belgium, and is shown in Dutch and subtitled. The 2017 drama series is a combination police investigation and horror film, and stars Veerle Baetans as a mother with amnesia – and with visions of awful things happening to her young daughter. Baetans not only stars in the series, but co-created and co-wrote it as well. But I haven’t previewed it, so you tell me whether or not Tabula Rasa qualifies as a Dutch treat.

In this new episode, the women of Gotham continue to ascend, and grab and battle for power. Three of the women are ones with whom police chief Gordon has an intimate and troubled past: Barbara (Erin Richards) is running a night club and a crime ring, Lee (Morena Baccarin) has emerged to be running the tough Narrows neighborhood and leading a revolt, and Sofia Falcone (Crystal Reed), daughter of a former Gotham crime lord, has established her own power base and plans for city dominance.

Back in 1960, when many phone numbers were still identified by their exchanges (remember the hit big-band song “PA-6 5000”?), Elizabeth Taylor starred as a high-priced Manhattan call girl in Butterfield 8. The title of the movie referred to her phone exchange, not her name or a particular exotic specialty. Her character’s name? Gloria Wandrous, which is salacious enough on its own. One of Taylor’s co-stars in this film, by the way, is Eddie Fisher, with whom she was havin

Tonight’s new episode is called “Nothing Lasts Forever.” That’s true even of this limited season of The X-Files, which is soon to end – but not before a few more entries, including tonight’s, which has to do with bodies found with certain organs removed, and with mysterious ninja-like figures prowling the shadows.

This is Episode 8, the penultimate episode, of this FX American Crime Story miniseries. It’s called “Creator/Destroyer,” and delves deeply into the past of the psyche of Versace’s killer. This makes it, at times, a flashback within a flashback – but eventually, as in next week, we’ll finally bring things up to speed.
