When Fox first announced Gotham would be on its 2014 fall schedule, I had my doubts if the show could work without a main hero. Sure, Smallville didn’t have Superman and survived for 10 seasons but the show still had Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and he wielded most of Superman’s powers. So, can there be a Gotham without Batman? Based on the pilot, the answer appears to be yes.

The saying, ‘we hurt the ones we love the most,’ rings loud and clear in “Loved Ones.” Why do the newborn strigoi go after their family first? Is it our innate need to be close to those who love us when we aren’t feeling our best? While this hasn’t been fully explained, I think we all seek out the familiar when we are sick, hurt, or scared. Unfortunately, the people we care for the most are the ones that also suffer the most.

“Volchek” is a great episode with the usual stellar storytelling and acting we’ve come to love and expect from Ray Donovan. It also does a terrific job of furthering everyone’s story lines.

Probably one of the more disturbing episodes but “The Garrison Commander” pushes Outlander into another league. This is television worth watching. Well, when you aren’t eating a burger.

Haven is back but this is a much darker Haven than we last saw in the season four finale “The Lighthouse.” “See No Evil” is a shocking and enthralling season premiere. Haven ups the ante for this season. Of note, there are several clues from last season that play a major role in what goes down in the season five premiere “See No Evil.” And we will definitely see plenty of dastardly deeds happening courtesy of Mara (Emily Rose).

This was the most fun I’ve had on a call in a long time. Emily Rose and Lucas Bryant have such great banter during this call especially fielding things like being called “a love sucker” and the hilarious exchange regarding Nathan and Audrey making “pancakes” last season. Apparently there will be more “pancakes” maybe some “waffles” and a whole lot of “steam” happening this season.

Red Band Society takes its name from the red hospital bracelets the kids wear. The first half of the season premiere is very lighthearted and funny despite the seriousness of the show’s premise. There is plenty of drama as well and combined, it makes for a very entertaining, heartfelt, coming-of-age tale. I’m sure some people won’t want to watch a show with such a maudlin topic but they’ll be missing out on a wonderful show that takes you on a journey with each character as they grow and learn about themselves. Red Band Society is a unique show with the potential to become a terrific new series for Fox. By the end of “Pilot,” you find yourself wanting to know what makes the characters tick.

I’ve only recently started enjoying Nurse Jackie thanks to binge-watching on Netflix. With the recent announcement that Tony Shalhoub would be joining the cast as Dr. Bernard Prince, a new ER doctor at All Saints my interest grew even more. Unfortunately, Showtime has announced that the upcoming seventh season will be the last.

Following the violent sequence of events during Sons of Anarchy’s season six finale, “A Mother’s Work,” I wondered how emotionally charged the final season premiere would be. The last time we saw Jax (Charlie Hunnam), he was wailing after finding his beloved wife Tara (Maggie Siff) gruesomely murdered. Will Jax be able to keep his emotions in check or will his desire for revenge completely consume him, as well as the MC?

Holy bat caves, Batman, “The Disappeared” is darker than an underground lair! There are many revelations during this episode, and we finally get to see The Master (Robert Maillet). “The Disappeared” picks up after Matt (Drew Nelson) was attacked at his place of employment. We know new strigoi go back to their loved ones to feed so what Matt, Kelly’s (Natalie Brown) new live-in boyfriend, does isn’t unexpected. Needless to say, Eph’s (Corey Stoll) young son Zach (Ben Hyland) gets a startling surprise when he comes home. My heart raced during this very intense scene as Zach desperately tries to maneuver his way around a very hungry Matt. And where is Kelly by the way?

While not the most action packed or progressive episode, “Rent” satisfies my curiosity. I’m enjoying the ride as we follow Claire through the Scottish countryside.

“Snowflake” is a compelling episode that leaves a lot to be resolved. While I think the Marvin/Bridget story line is over, I wonder if it really is. With Ray dumping Bridget’s bloody clothes in a dumpster, has he paved the way for the cops to find out the truth? And with Mickey paying Cherry (Jeryl Prescott Sales) to distract Boris (Nick Gracer), the marijuana shop security guard, as only she can do with that talented mouth of hers, does that mean he and Shorty (Steph DuVall) will go ahead with their planned robbery of the store? Will they both end up in jail? Also, will Bunchy’s problems with Patty and Clifford spell the end of their relationship? More importantly, will Bunchy ever be able to sustain a normal relationship with a woman? Perhaps the most important question I have is how will Bridget ever recuperate from last week’s devastation? I know time heals all wounds but still… And last but not least, will Ray and Abby ever be able to repair their marriage?
