Fish Mooney's impromptu eye surgery was without question the episode's highlight, a genuine, jaw-dropping, shout-at-the-screen moment.

What an intense episode! Fish, in all her badass glory, shows us there's no tougher, scrappier or smarter villain in Gotham.

By far, this is the biggest, most impactful and overall best-executed punch of drama that Gotham's ever landed.

Even though the Red Hood gang story will only pay dividends in our minds, it felt more like a fun, harmless one-off rather than a big, heavy "this is where it all begins" ground zero moment. And I liked that.

How is it even possible that after what I'm pretty sure was Gotham's most baffling episode, it comes back a week later and air what I think is this show's finest episode to date? Just when I think I'm out, they yada yada yada you get the point.

Alfred once again proved why he's such a highlight, but I continue to wonder when the series will move away from the crutch of referencing future Batman stuff and find a way to stand on its own.
February 24, 2015
"Red Hood" is a solid 45 minutes of just... nothing. Aside from Bruce and Alfred's mini arc, everything seems kind of inconsequential and bloated.

For perhaps the first time this season, Gotham actually feels like a show that's about the city, and how that city might come to produce not only hardened supervillains, but also a caped vigilante.

Every time I think that Gotham has reached its bottom, it manages to dig an even deeper hole and create a new low for itself.
