Agent Carter Has Become One of the Most Unique Stories in the Marvel Universe

Agent Carter is a show all about sexism, and particularly all about the notion that after World War II, women who had made a material contribution to the war effort were told to go back to their old subordinate roles.

Mulder Got High as Balls on Last Night’s X-Files

Honestly, that’s kind of all I remember about the plot of “Babylon.” It was, plot-wise, pretty unremarkable. Except for Mulder’s mushroom samba in the middle.
