Gotham

A few reasons come to mind why that should not have worked.

Probably not. But now we can have Penguin bite her throat out when she comes back and tries to use her powers on him when he is mayor

I didn't like this episode much.

Ivy's plot is bad.

Was half expecting the guy to try and rape her. Killing him over poor plant treatment is much more Poison Ivy-ish though.

The speedster girl going down like that was stupid. There was no reason that she couldn't have sprinted out of there.

We clearly need more people getting blown up with Rocket Launchers.

Penguin showed us that solves everything.

That was a guy.

Speedsters always job. Biggest example of that was Quicksilver from Age of Ultron.

I don't know if I'd call that jobbing.

I think he was running on fumes near the end there, and didn't have enough power to both reach Hawkeye and the kid, and pull them out of the way, so he just covered them.

Quite literally.

I'm more surprised that an angry mob was effective.

The Cops were holding back to avoid endangering Bullock.

The crowd wasn't bound by such limits, and were worked into a fervour by Penguin, so they just rushed in.

Penguin's mother complex is gonna keep biting him in the ass.

I suppose.

Do you think Fish knew what happened to his mom when she said that (if she was telling the truth), or was it just a lucky coincidence?

I think she was more trying to take advantage of his confusion in regards to what happened when she made the "I made you" speech and just happened to get lucky by saying just the right things.

Sounds about right.

She's is kinda right in a way. Everything Penguin is is due to Fish taking him in, and him trying to surpass her.

I can take a handsome Penguin, but a handsome Mad Hatter? That's beyond the pale.

On the low, Gotham has one attractive cast that's for sure.

Meh, they have some outliers. This isn't the CW. Not everyone is pretty; it's just that most people are.

...what the hell is happening on this show anymore?

I was ready to drop this but things keep getting wackier.

Gotham has been sliding towards comic book-y weirdness throughout season 2. Season 3's just continuing the trend.

Gotham's so much more entertaining than it was in season 1.

The slide being more or less the whole point....

They upped their ham level.

Now we have truly Got-Ham.

I wanted something more gradual, subtle. There was still possible in Season 1 and early Season 2.

Now?

Penguin and Butch are tight now. Barbara and Stabby Mcstabstab are lesbian clubowners. Barbara is a competent fighter. Selina is still rolling with Fish. Fish is sporting full supervillain outfit along with a posse that includes wannabe Manbat and Daphne Millbrook. Jim Gordon is a f'cking bounty hunter tracking down superpowered criminals to pay the rent. And Ivy. Ivy's fallen into a sewer and come out sexy.

Lee magically found another man and then suddenly broke up with him as soon as Gordon shacked up with another woman he's known for maybe half a week.

Just binged the show, and Valarie hooking up with Gordon did seem crazy out of the blue. They had no build up, just annoying each other with the occasional team work.

I keep on imagining all of this being told to Jim's daughter, and the sort of reaction it'd get.

And on that note, new one starts now.
