Recap / Gotham S1 E5 "Viper"

Go To

Directed by Tim Hunter

Written by Rebecca Perry Cutter

A new drug is on the street giving people superstrength and madness.


Tropes:

  • As You Know: Of course, the whole thing with Fish training Liza to entrap Falcone seems obvious, but the fact that Fish is backing the one foreign mob boss against him isn't. Then she has to bring it up only when she's already going Fifty Shades of Grey on him.
  • Body Horror: The prototype venom oxidizes calcium for fuel (don't think about that too hard), so when it runs out, your bones are super weak, and your superstrong muscles rip your body apart.

  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Falcone fondly remembers his deceased mother.

  • Too Dumb to Live: A busker gets an ampule full of green liquid in his guitar case that says "breathe me"... he breathes it. This behaviour is justified though since he is a junkie and they generally take whatever is given to them.
