No one is saying Gotham has to be The Wire, but that wouldn't fly on CSI: Miami.

As sad as I was to see Jim return to work at the GCPD so quickly, I'm glad that it meant that we could get an episode like "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon," a bold and confident step forward as Gotham heads into the last third of its debut season.

"Welcome Back, Jim Gordon" is a welcome complement to last week's Gotham episode. It not only gives virtually all of the show's major players something to do it also acknowledges the presence and significance of rarely-seen characters.

"Welcome Back, Jim Gordon" is textbook filler with only small moments in between moments that forward the overarching story in any meaningful way.

If you've been liking what Gotham has been doing so far, then you're probably going to enjoy this hour as well.

if it's one thing Gotham's been lacking it's any sort of growth in its characters and this episode actually had that in spades.

"Welcome Back, Jim Gordon" feels like a shopping list episode.

Like I said before, " Welcome Back, Jim Gordon" may run in circles most of the time, but even those old, tired circles still have a lot of entertainment value.

It was all very exhausting for a Monday night, but the good kind of exhausting. Gotham's given us a lot lately, and I still want more.

It is an ending that actually makes for a powerful way to cap the episode, nearly negating my gripes, even though the basic premise of this episode slows things down considerably.
