Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of tonight’s Gotham series finale.
“I just think the DC Universe is so incredibly deep and vivid, and I’m a big fan of it all,” says Gotham executive producer Danny Cannon of the world that spawned the inspiration for the Fox series that came to a Dark Knight conclusion tonight. “I don’t think there’s any limitations for what DC can do right now. I really don’t.”
In that vein, “The Beginning …” episode penned by showrunner John Stephens on Thursday brought the Bruno Heller-developed Batman backstory show to its logical end with a 10-year time jump from last week and bumping right up against the canon of the Caped Crusader.

Gotham, Season 2, Episode 21, “A Legion of Horribles”
Written by Jordan Harper
Directed by Rob Bailey
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
The ball keeps rolling this week with the penultimate episode of Gotham’s second season, which featured the return of a favorable familiar face, Fish Mooney, as other characters ruminate on the legitimacy of Thomas Wayne’s legacy. Even while exploring the crevices of what it means to be heroic and the challenging morality behind sticking up for what you believe in is right, Gotham also manages to include a lot of fun and surprises.
One of the many key factors that makes Gotham so wonderful and engaging is the excellent and eccentric performances by all within the cast. The seriousness placed on the absurdity of their increasingly chaotic situations aren’t lost on any of the characters, and it’s not only that they accept the surrealism,...

Gotham, Season 2, Episode 10, “The Son of Gotham”
Written by John Stephens
Directed by Rob Bailey
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
Gotham returns to form with another excellent installment that is set to bring the entire Galavan story arc to a truly exciting conclusion. Despite being mostly set up for next week’s mid-season finale, this episode has more than enough good action, great character moments, smart narrative turns, and interesting plot developments to make it more than worthwhile.
Following last week’s detour, “The Son of Gotham” picks up the momentum and brings Gordon up to date with the truth about Galavan’s surname of Dumas, something that viewers and The Penguin learned quite some time ago. Most of this episode shows Gordon putting the pieces together about Galavan’s connection to the Order of St. Dumas but without allowing Gordon any real proof to keep Galavan behind bars.

Sneak Peek footage from the "Gotham" episode "Penguin's Umbrella" that aired November 3, 2014 on Fox. The episode was impressively directed by Rob Bailey and written by series creator Bruno Heller, minus all the 'wink-wink' jokes that has marred previous episodes of the series, with another great performance by actor Robin Lord Taylor as the crippled 'Oswald Cobblepot' :
"...as violence between 'Maroni' and 'Falcone' continues to escalate, 'Penguin' reveals a new component of his manipulative strategy...
"...forcing 'Gordon' to deal with the consequences of his decision to spare Penguin's life..."

Original Airdate: 24 January 2014
In This Episode…
A big, brutish guy is speeding down the street in a muscle car. Highway Patrol gives chase. The brute stops, pulls the cop from the car, and beats the hell out of him. “You weren’t worthy,” he grunts as he scalps the cop. The case gets kicked to Portland Pd. This is the third such case of scalpings in the last few weeks. The other two were a naval captain and a border patrol cop. It looks like a serial killer with a penchant for killing men in uniform is headed to town.
The brute is now in Portland proper. A green beret in full uniform gets off a bus and walks down an dark alley. The brute is waiting for him, but this time, the brute...

Grimm heads off into an Olympics-necessitated month-long hiatus this week with a strong first half of a presumed two-parter, with significant progress on both character and plot fronts and a couple entertaining cliffhangers. The case of the week is interesting and appropriately gruesome, with a new berserker Wesen hunting down “worthy” victims and scalping them in an attempt to gain their power, but wisely most of this subplot is held for part two, allowing Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt to focus instead on Adalind’s continuing saga in Vienna as well as some dramatic developments closer to home.

Ron remains unimpressed by The Tomorrow People, even eight episodes in
This review contains spoilers.
1.8 Thanatos
Another week of The Tomorrow People, another mediocre episode. The show has some great ideas, but the execution is poor most of the time. Even when the execution is solid, the writing is poor or the characterization inconsistent. Is Russell a master thief and martial artist, or a moron? He could be all three things, but during a top-secret mission by the Tomorrow People to break into Jed the head of Ultra's apartment, Russell ignores Cara's orders, makes a huge racket, and finds himself busted. He's able to fight off Jed and trigger the alarm to allow him to teleport away, but it turns out he's got someone hanging onto his back the whole time.

Synopsis: With spell-crazed hit mages and the malevolent serpentine demon known as the Swordbreaker hot on his tail, it’s a steep learning curve for the Occultist, who must master the powerful magic of the Sword–or suffer at the hands of numerous sorcerous enemies. But is our hero wielding this enigmatic weapon, or is it the one in control?
The first issue of Tim Seeley‘s The Occultist left our hero with a nasty humanoid serpent known as the Swordbreaker on his trail and balls deep in trouble with gaggle of mystical bounty hunters that wished to separate him from The Sword: a magical entity that had chosen to bond with college student Rob Bailey turning him into the new Occultist. Issue #2 is as fun as #1 of this three-part story, with crude, hormone-driven humor and gorgeous artwork.

Writer: Tim Seeley Penciller: Victor Drujiniu Colorist: Andrew Dalhouse Cover Artist: Steve Morris Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Synopsis: While harnessing his new powers as the Occultist, college student Rob Bailey must defend himself and those around him from a series of hired Hit mages with unique magical abilities and a serpentine demon known as the Swordbreaker, all determined to kill him and to possess the powerful spell book known as the Sword!
Hot off the heels of the 2010 one-shot of the same name, The Occultist #1 finds college student Rob Bailey in way over his head: girls, exams, and a gaggle of mystical bounty hunters that want to pry the Sword from his cold, dead hand.
I’m a big fan of occult themed comics. Hellblazer, The Books of Magic, and Sandman are some of my favorite books of all time, and The Occultist follows in their footsteps while offering something unique and quite charming.
