Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiered to huge ratings! But will it keep going? What do you think of new SHIELD characters: Grant Ward, Skye, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Melinda May, and of course, the return of Agent Phil Coulson?

"It is safe to say that as "Breaking Bad" comes to a close, Vince Gilligan's series is the moment's Best Show In the History of Television. Incredibly, the show isn't even over yet, and it is already a cult classic, with all the attendant prop fetishization and tourism industries that come with such a designation. But as we approach the final episode, there's an unanswered question: What makes the show so historically important? Critics have rightly lauded the series for, among other things, its cinematography, its dialogue, its character development and its carefully constructed plot twists. Yet, in this much-vaunted new Golden Age of TV, there are plenty of programs with great visuals, terrific conversations, nuanced personalities and enticing stories — but most never achieve the same notoriety as the life of Walter White."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down. *Read more here from David Sirota / Salon: http://www.salon.com/2013/09/28/walter_whites_sickness_mirrors_america/

Saudi women seeking to challenge a de facto ban on driving should realize that this could affect their ovaries and pelvises, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Luhaydan, a judicial and psychological consultant to the Gulf Psychological Association, told Saudi news website sabq.org. Driving "could have a reverse physiological impact. Physiological science and functional medicine studied this side [and found] that it automatically affects ovaries and rolls up the pelvis. This is why we find for women who continuously drive cars their children are born with clinical disorders of varying degrees," Sheikh al-Luhaydan said. The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
