Now that DC has finally unveiled its big new superhero spin-off show, Marvel Comics doesn’t want you to forget that it has a superhero spin-off show on TV too. You remember ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’, don’t y...
Well, here it is, the Season 2 finale to the show many of us love to hate. While I can’t say ‘Under the Dome’ got any smarter during this cliffhanger, I will say that things were never boring. In fact, the episod...
