The supernatural is blazing its way into Agents Of Shield. Tara Bennett goes undercover as Marvel’s spy saga gets weird…
Rejoice, fans of freedom and all that is good – SHIELD is officially back in business.
Recap time, Eyes Only: after the covert organisation found itself infiltrated by Hydra in the second season of Agents Of SHIELD it was publicly dismantled. Director Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team created an underground operation to battle Hydra. With the help of a team of genetically modified Inhumans called the Secret Warriors, they succeeded in stamping out Hydra by the end of season three.
Keeping up with the big-screen events of Captain America: Civil War, season four welcomes SHIELD back as a public entity, now led by Director Jeffrey Mace (Jason O’Mara), helping to enforce the Sokovia Accords.
That development doesn’t sit well for all the agents, especially Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) who has left SHIELD to operate as Quake, protecting targeted Inhumans from watchdog groups trying to wipe them out. “The Inhumans are a metaphor for us in terms of what it’s like to be different,” executive producer and co-show runner Jed Whedon tells SFX. “So being able to explore some of those themes opens up a lot of story that is very personal to a lot of people for different reasons.”
“Daisy is very much at the centre of that,” adds fellow executive producer and co-showrunner Maurissa Tancharoen. “Now she’s gone rogue she is on a mission to protect Inhumans. Placing her at the centre of that helps us to explore the nature of what it means to be an Inhuman in a world that is watching them, and in a world where people might think it’s not favourable for them to be in society.”

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
