The BlackBear Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This show is utter nonsense, but it does it in such a wholehearted way, that I find it kind of compelling. It falls apart when it tries to take itself seriously, but when you have Butch killing Galavan with a bazooka in front of baby Bruce Wayne... come on, that is television.

Quoth Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 I was wondering whether anyone else was still watching. I'm halfheartedly hanging in. But many... most of the characters are starting to really annoy me rather than entertain. I thought Edward and Oswald were gonna hafta get a room here for a second.

The BlackBear Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I enjoy Gotham a hell of a lot more than the Cw fare. The main weakness is Gordon, he's such a dull uninteresting vacuum of despair. When the writers lay off all the nods and winks and serious drama, and just write this wacky batman love letter it can be really quite entertaining. And hey now Fish has left again! (I hope for a long long while.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumHam Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I haven't watched any of this season yet but I'll binge it eventually. As others have suggested it's not good but it can be quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just started tonight's episode and had to stop to see if anybody commented on this yet. Holy moly, Penguin was wondering the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 It might just be me, but I've been reading these recap/review/reference guides since the beginning, and they're just as fun as the episodes themselves. http://observer.com/tag/gotham-reference-guide/page/2/ The episode itself was kind of fine. The ending was unusually dark and effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I really enjoyed this episode. All right Tetch's bits were kind of crap, as he completely failed to do anything beyond send Gordon on a heavily Inception themed trip. He was a more successful long term villain than I was expecting. More recently I was kind of expecting more of the Wonderland Gang. But the trip was fun, and actually was quite good. Getting in his army background, his angel and demon relationship with Bruce and Oswald. Barbara has been consistent fun since they completely rebooted her character after series one. And the Leslie lesson was an important one, he did fuck up big time, he left her alone to deal with a miscarriage thinking him dead. I've personally been in love with Corey Michael Smith since he first appeared so I'm fully on board with this developing triangle. I have no idea who (or what) Isabella is (it's not a lookalike it's the same actress,) how two people could literally just sit and talk for twelve hours naturally, and Oswald's manic obsessive greed never gets old. Batman makes a cake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never even thought about it this way, but you're right....I was so annoyed with the tack that this show took because I wanted them to play it straight, with no Batman villains (and no Bruce Wayne).... and make the show about Gordon's rise through the Gotham PD.... but as long as they're going the route they are, you're right.... they should totally commit to the absurdity...

The BlackBear Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Is cutting the brakes on someone's car actually, in anyway a feasible murder plan. I don't know about you, but I definitely use my brakes a number of times getting to a main road, before I get anywhere near enough speed up to kill myself. Then you have a handbrake, engine braking, and can at least steer into the least fatal object. And car accidents are hardly always fatal. Furthermore it's pretty obvious it was done right? Ed would presumably find out. Either way I don't think she's dead. And Barnes was pretty awesome this episode right? Justice is served indeed, fuck that chair, fuck that wall. Never ask Michael Chiklis to help you rearrange your furniture. I'm a little disappointed he doesn't appear to be Solomon Grundy, but I don't hate what they're doing with him instead. Also the mad hatters prison number was 106... 10/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Regarding the not-Kringle. It's got to be a long con. The cosmetic surgeon maybe got Kringle's body, took Kringle's face and put it on someone working for -- who? And why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceChampion Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Well whoever is making this show is obviously having fun doing it. Here's their Grindhouse style trailer for the next episode, because why not: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That trailer is brilliant. I love that they just totally threw everything they originally tried to do with Barbara away, because she's so fun now. It's sad this show doesn't get the love it deserves, mainly because of it's ropey opening season. Because when it's great it's really really great. (Though occasionally it still falls apart for no reason. Poison Ivy has the mind of a child and is clearly doing stuff. Urgh.) I still don't believe Isabella is dead (at least not un-undead,) because it would be such a weird thing to bring back the exact doppelgänger of Kringle, who is such a perfect fit for Nygma, just to fridge her. Although having said that, it's totally possible they'd do exactly that. I must confess I was disappointed with the Barnes going Executioner, I hoped they'd be a little more clever and slower about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoth Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well... It's back on. A sort of "Meh" episode intended, I guess, to get us all back up to speed. But... The return of Jerome!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, it'll be lame. But I don't care as long as he's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah, not the best episode, but I love this crazy ass show. Although, Nigma making Penguin lose his shit was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJ Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So, it's clear they originally killed off Jerome, because they assumed everyone would be up in arms if they revealed the back-story of the actual joker. Then everyone said "actually... we really like him" so now they're scrambling to bring him back from the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
