Well, in all fairness, the first time they all just left because it was Zsaz, and they were all in Falcone's pocket.

I've never read a comic book in my life. But this is the most "comic booky" thing I've ever watched, if that makes any sense. It's exactly what I imagine if comic books came to life. Same with my father who watched religiously.
Love it. Never miss an ep.
Re: Jerome, I think if he was the joker, they would have said it by now. Obviously this show likes to tease, so I think it's just that.

There was also that time The Electrocutioner zapped the entire station, except for Gordon of course.

Oh, right. Forgot about that. Well, the hazards of gorgeous industrial-gothic architecture, I suppose.

I'm interested to see what would happen if penguin and Jerome met.
I kinda want penguin to be like

I'll turn around on him if he stops doing that forced eye thing.
I accept in good sport, thank you.I made this for you.
I'm behind and still watching episode 1 from last week. I wasn't too fond of Jerome in his debut episode but he's really impressive in this episode. He really has that certain.... je ne sais quoi. He has a really great presence on screen that demands your attention.
And good lord-Tabitha is incredibly gorgeous.

Honestly, that Russian Roulette scene was just too amazing.

Yup. Dude's crazy. He would rather be dead than be taking orders from one of the other Maniax. I love it!
I'm sold on Jerome. It is very hard to get an actor to pull of that "Joker" feeling, but he really can pull it off.
This season is so much better than the first at this point. Not missing Fish in the least-and the "Cat" pun that Penguin used in regards to Selina worked well, unlike all the heavy handed references last year.

I was kind of hoping Jerome would squeeze of the first 5 chambers then hand the gun off and be like "your turn"
Or squeeze off all the shots and then shoot the guy right then and there with the last one.

He's more pragmatic than that. He needs the woman eater as another muscle.

I thought he shot him at the end
wasn't he the one with the camera that used his line?

Yeah, that's a good point. Although in that particular moment it was also an effective fear tactic against the commissioner. You could also say Jerome had already given him a warning, so he considered this further stepping out of line to cross the threshold.

this is what I was thinking too, but I do like how he killed him at the end.

My God, Cobblepot's hair is even a bigger mystery this season.

If it was season 1 penguin would've said "Who's this joker?" and literally winked at the camera.

Just watched the first 2 episodes, and it is so much better than season 1. This is a huge turnaround for the show.
Jerome is killing it, can't wait to see what other twisted things he has up his sleeve.

Doesn't really make sense because she is too old compared to Bruce. And she would also be older than Joker (assuming Jerome is Joker).
It's you

Lmao
Yeah I thought the same, she's older then Bruce and Jerome. I still secretly believe though lol
They're setting her up to be someone though! Haha

I thought he was just going to point the gun at the other guy and just keep pulling the trigger until it went off
Loved the second episode. Had a hard time with the first one because of the pacing mainly, but this was just great.
Wasn't expecting shit to go down that soon.

When Essen got the job, I obviously told myself "welp, she's going to die", but that was so much quicker than expected. Goddamn.

Indeed. I thought season 1 was serviceable. Season 2 so far has been fantastic. All the characters are developing rapidly. It's fantastic.

Fortunately he seems to be sporting a new 'do by the end of the episode, IIRC.

So what are they gonna do with Penguin this season? He is at the top now, what has he got to do.
Don't bring Fish back.
Getting a bump from L + 3 isn't surprising, but I'm surprised it out performed the premiere too
At least, some positive word of mouth!

Bring him down, naturally.
Or more specifically, start bringing in others like him, villain-type mob bosses.
Yeah, this pretty much.
The producers were saying that new people will challenge Penguin for his power and position. And it will force Penguin to become more cunning and ruthless if he wants to continue being at the top.
One thing I want to see out of Penguin is for him to become more suave. He has this immense tick of nervousness, even when he's happy and in power, this strain to his voice that is bursting with excitement even when he's outwardly calm. It'd be good visual character development to see him just because cool and nonplussed in his interactions.
