FOX Monday Night TV Recap
I am still catching up from last week’s vacation, so be patient with me. My Monday shows seem to be the easiest for me to stay up to date with, so it’s another FOX only review.

Since I was too lazy to post yesterday, you are going to get to read about my take on both of FOX’s Monday night shows that I watch. Nothing obscenely exciting, but just a nice recap and my gut reaction.

Read more9-1-1 Lone Star 2-Night Season Premiere Review
Having not watched the original incantation of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear’s 9-1-1, I decided to give its spin-off, 9-1-1 Lone Star, a chance for some strange reason. Most of that reason is because I’m a Rob Lowe fan, and it was cool to see how much diversity was in the casting.

Now that I am three episodes deep into the recently full-season ordered, Prodigal Son, I figured now was the time to share my thoughts on the freshman show.
Read moreGotham Season 5 Premiere, “Year Zero”
This past Thursday marks the final season premiere of FOX’s GothamĀ with the episode “Year Zero.” Having not fully watched the show in the past, but having a pretty strong understanding of its premise, this episode was a little tame, but packed with all of your favorites. I have to hand it to them with that opening scene though! Gordon, Bullock, the Riddler, and the Penguin all teaming up to shoot down an unknown enemy?! I suppose twelve episodes later we will see??
After that flash-forward we see the immediate aftermath of Jerome’s blowing up of all of Gotham’s bridges which has essentially made Gotham the most undesirable island ever. There are five “factions” ruling different parts of the city, all are running low on grub. That’s where rich kid Bruce Wayne steps up to get a helicopter with food over for all of the people currently being protected by the GCPD. Of course that was foiled when someone shot it down. Bane? Jerome? That remains to be seen. Then there was a food battle between the Penguin and his crew, GCPD, and then suddenly Tabitha shows up to exact her revenge for Penguin killing Butch in the season 4 finale. All that rage only for Tabitha meet her maker at the hands of Penguin. Barbara plotting revenge all season? Probably.
There wasn’t nearly enough Ed Nygma/Riddler in my opinion, but I imagine his story line will get better. In his Riddler state, Ed is controlling where he is going when he sleeps (which I assume is to Penguin). Meanwhile, Selina, having been paralyzed at the end of last season, has a semi-successful surgery but still can’t walk. That’s enough for her to want to kill herself, but some hospital staff and Bruce get to her in time. A seriously creepy looking nurse keeps hinting at “The Witch” to help Selina, but Bruce is (stupidly) ignoring her. Having not seen Lee Thompkins in the premiere, maybe it’s her? Who knows what Hugo Strange did to her?! And there is also the fact that Jerome did not surface either, but a potential Harley Quinn did, leaving his signature on a map of Gotham for Gordon to find.
I’m excited for what’s to come, but also insanely sad that this show is going to see its end. Given that the original order of ten episodes got bumped to twelve, I’m not holding my breath for any other network or streaming service to pick it up when all is said and done. We can only look forward to what the cast will do next in there careers.
