The plot of ABC's "Black Box" revolves around the efforts of a brilliant neuroscientist to hide her own mental illness, in order to keep her job at the Center for Neurological Research and Treatment. The show's first (and only) season ended, back in 2014, with her losing that job.

The name’s Case. John Case. OK, the title character in “Agent X” isn’t quite 007, but he’s certainly drawing comparisons to the smooth-talking, tuxedo-swaddled Brit.

Q: Is there a reason the car flies at the end of "Grease"? Is there an explanation I missed, or is it a reference to another movie or something?

It depends who you ask. The meaning of the flying car at the end of the 1978 film "Grease" is a hotly debated point of movie symbolism/trivia that has spawned both simple and crazy answers.

So, of course, we'll start with the crazy ones.

One grim theory posits that Sandra Dee was actually dead throughout most of the movie, and that the final scene is her flying off into heaven.

He's big, he's brawny and he's back with the funnies. Terry Crews, the ridiculously muscly and outrageously hilarious actor and former NFLer, returns as host of a revamped version of the hit viral video series "World's Funniest," premiering its second season Friday, Nov. 6, on Fox.

Q: I was a fan of "Resurrection" and I was told it will not be coming back. Is there any chance of one episode being made to at least tie up all the loose ends we fans were left with? I think we deserve at least that much.

Fans of the ABC drama "Resurrection" certainly do deserve a satisfying wrap-up -- especially the ones who stuck with it all the way to the end of season 2, as the mystery got deeper and the viewership got smaller. But it doesn't seem likely.

The ratings decline is one reason: the season 2 finale drew just 4.6 million viewers, which may sound like a lot, but was just half of what the show's first episode got.
