Gotham

I swear, it feels like this show got ripped from the 90s. Though i think the cheese factor is Narm Charm for me.

It's diffrent I'll give you that, its basically an Elseworld at any rate.

Batman begins...with a little B&E.

Penguin is one slippery bastard.

And Barbra is fucking nuts.

Jesus Christ Zsasz.

A literal talking head

Penguin has a wicked sense of humor.

ZAARDON THE SOUL REAPER!

Escape from Arkham, go figure.

Alfred continues to be the worlds greatest Enabler.

Wait, there was a new episode tonight? Hrm.

Yep.

Wow, one episode in, and they already have a Legion of Doom.

And it is way more fun than I ever had with Arrow!

Gordon I'm very disappointed in you. Looks like this Batman's going to be a real shit but Superman would be ashamed.

Nobody said-

So even though I thought I'd be skipping this, I ended up watching Gotham.

Still enjoy it actually, but it will always be Got Ham to me.

And thus, the Legion of Doom, Gotham edition is born.

Any team that has Barbara on it is in trouble.

So, my thoughts:

This suicide squad? What was the blue gas, some kind of antidote to the sleeping agent or whatever it was that deployed?

Barb. Hm....dunno where thats going.

Did anyone else notice Butch's twitching? Seems like Zsasz's "training" is faltering more and more.

And speaking of Zsasz, I know he didn't have emnity with Penguin, but he seemed personally loyal to Falcone. Surprised he bothered continuing in his service rather going solo.

Loving Jerome the second time out more. He seems very much like a young Nicholson!Pre-Joker.

Buh bye Loeb.

I wonder who takes the captain's chair at GCPD....

Nah, it's not the Squad. The embargo is a thing. Even Arrow can't keep using it without difficulty. (Although, it still has Waller, so that could change.)

27'12: The moment Jim is completely stupid for the sake of really annoying drama. Why in f-ing hell can't he say "Barbara called me, she said that you attacked her" to Lee, the dumb, motherf-ing, crazy, stupid, moronic cretin?.

Yeah I know, Department of Redundancy Department, but I had to vent it out. It is so poorly written my eyes are bleeding. There is no reason for him not to speak, none, except utter lack of brain cells.

Anyway, that was a Gotham episode, not much else to say, except that the Penguin/Zsasz team is pretty entertaining. It's nice to have Ferdinand on board though (I didn't event realize the same guy played Franklin in True Blood, but to be faire Franklin was a bit...off).

I still don't see much of the appeal of Barbara's character, and she kind of erases Batgirl from canon, because seriously how could Jim ever call his daughter Barbara after knowing that lunatic?

In any event, that gives something to watch while waiting for the much better CW shows.

Hell, hell, why didn't he think to alert Arkham that one of their inmates had a phone?

I see Edward is channeling Willem Dafoe in Spider-Man.

Hopefully, we get more on Tabitha's character than "crazy chick in leather".

This episode was... okay. I'm still loving Penguin, though. Barbara is still a waste of space but who knows maybe she'll be entertaining this season. Nygma was nice to see with his split personality and such. I look forward to seeing his descent into madness.

Despite only being season 2 the show feels stale to me. The first episode of season 1 was better than this. I'm really going to miss Falcone and all the mob rivalry. That was by far the best aspect of the show to me.

Heard speculation that Tabitha is Tigress. I dunno who Tigress is and I confused her for assassin chick from the first season.

Oh god, I just realized. Tabitha's name. Tabby. As in Tabby Cat.

Dear lord.

Those camera angles, Jim running through the kitchen and that parking lot...

Okay. So, in my optimistic opinion, Barbara Kean meeting Jerome is evidence that they are attempting to, as someone else said, create the Gotham version of Harley. Because Harley's appearing in the upcoming Suicide Squad film, so Gotham can't or won't use Harleen Quinzel.

Which is massively disappointing, but eh. Arrow's Green Arrow won't be in Justice League.

Seems more like an inverse Joker/Harley relationship as as Barbara, the "Harley", seems to be the one in charge in that relationship.

Or... f'ck... because the Suicide Squad's here, I guess that theory's out anyway.

Maybe she's not Harley at all, and instead is gonna become a female Boss Grissom to Jerome's Jack Napier....

NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.

Seriously, no. Harley is crazy, ditzy, unpredictable, but most of all she is lovable, and has somewhat redeeming qualities that pop up here and there. She would not behave like an Alpha Bitch once in prison, she would be the loony that a guy hits on and gets wrecked when he tries something inappropriate. She would never seek a random dude's protection too. She would not be picked because she is supposed to be The Vamp in a team.

Nope. Just nope. Don't ruin DC's best character Gotham, that would be the best way for me to erase you from my memory altogether and start a mission to spread the word that you suck to as many people as possible.
