Gotham

No, I liked Butch! Fuck!

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Man, they are taking no prisoners this finale, huh?

That's the last of the OCs.

Man Riddler got played.

Selina x whip. OTP.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Born on a Monday indeed...

I did not see that coming for Butch

Go Bruce! You pose on that gargoyle!

you could tell they thought they might not get renewed. excited to see next season now that all the pieces are more or less in place

Barbara is going to come back next season with lightning powers.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

They really thought they weren't coming back.

Yea, you can tell this was a Series Fauxnale. Wonder how they're gonna work it.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.

I was thinking along those lines. XD

Is Cyrus Gold supposed to be Solomon Grundy?

Donal Logue is a treasure. Harvey is one of the most consistently entertaining characters on the show.

My favorite things about this finale were the interactions between Bruce and Alfred. Except for the part where Alfred was stabbed by Bruce. ^^;

I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting Agency

Yes, Cyrus is Grundy...born on a Monday.

Well, the show went full Arkham City for this quite entertaining double episode. I'm having hard time believing any of the characters are actually dead, though - not only have they had various ways of bringing back the dead, but as last time Penguin's revival was left unexplained altogether.

Though it was nice to see so many characters, especially from the kind of meandering Barbara-Butch-Tabitha combo, get offed, even if temporarily. As mentioned by others here before, I could see Barbara coming back with electric powers. The show made Firefly female, why not do it with Electrocutioner too? And I kinda like the weird friendship Tabitha and Selina are developing. And I appreciate the darker twist on the Iceberg Lounge's name.

Speaking of ice, I feel like killing Nora Fries was one of the biggest mistakes this show has done regarding its characters; it practically undid all the decades of development on one of the more compelling and motivated characters in Batman Mythos, rendering him back into the silver age goon with a gimmick gun he was. Ever after his introductory double episode Mr. Freeze has practically been a pair of legs attached to his freeze gun, with no motivations or personality of his own. It's a real shame, because otherwise this season felt like the show finally got a hang of the characterization of several characters it previously had no clue what to do with.

But that ending... Yeah, you could tell they were not sure about being continued. Because I think having Bruce Wayne not fighting crime is literally the one thing that summed Gotham, making it distinct from all the other Batman stories in the world.

Either way, I'm interested to see where the show goes from here.

I am worried about the quality of the next season, since it's moving to a different time and that finale was so good, it might be a sign that they ran out of ideas.

Well, I'm sure it can't get any worse just for switching timeslots.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!

We technically got Electrocutioner in the first season. She could always be Maxie Zeus, though, complete with a beard.

Latest blog update (November 5th, 2022).

They've changed a few names by now. She could always end up becoming Livewire.

Supergirl called dibs on that one.

Wake me up at your own risk.

I admit I haven't gotten around to watching Supergirl yet. I only heard about it after it had already been airing for awhile, and it's harder to jump in in the middle.

Also I thought it was a missed opportunity that they didn't flashback to the mental safe flying open, to symbolize Bruce breaking his conditioning.

Okay, haven't watched the show for seasons but I had to come here and ask... why is this episode titled after a Twenty One Pilots song? That's really weird to me, since the song, while not obscure or anything, certainly isn't to the popularity that I would expect a random episode to be named after it.

Damn, what a finale! Definitely got the feeling watching that it was a Series Fauxnale, this could easily have capped the show off had that been necessary.

Can't believe I'm saying this but...don't kill Babs. As awful as she was as Jim's girl, she's actually kind of great as a villain.

Yeah, I would honestly feel bad if they killed her off now, having spent roughly season and a half with no idea what to do with her. I feel like this new, selfish, power-hungry side that was being defined towards the end of this season actually made her, if not exactly intriguing or nuanced, at least entertaining character.
