Gotham S2 |OT| Dawn of Altruism - Mondays 8/7c
- Thread starter TheOddOne
- Start date
Holy shit someone please gif the
kid getting gunned down and blowing up
I laughed my ass off.
I like where this is going. Love the Dumas/Wayne generational family feud as a backstory, and the fun way they introduced it. The idea that hooded monks from an ancient religious order would invade Gotham is comic booky as hell and it's fantastic. Firefly looked great too, and Penguin continues to be fucking ballsy when it comes to making plays.

Theo said to Jessica Lucas at the start that she still has the mayor to play with, so he is locked up by them somewhere
also I loved the "yeah but she just sleeps a lot and is kinda crazy" line about Barbara
Firefly was great, can't wait to see what they do with her next week
man every episode feels like a season finale with all the shit going down but we still have 15 episodes to go

The slowmo arm wave really sells it lol.
Love this season so far, I'm guessing they had a huge surplus of fake blood on hand from last season because they are using nearly every scene.

I'm definitely enjoying this show as a comedy. It's a campy mess and I love every minute of it.

I'm wondering if she'll end up tying into some kind of Mirror House/Collector plot given her knowledge of notorious Gotham artifacts.
Episode was amazing and the exploding scene was the icing on the cake.

I was so dedicated to this show for the first season, but my interest has dropped like a rock. They seriously need some kind of time jump for the third season.
And why does every crime take place under the same overpass?

Can't wait to send this to my friends who don't watch Gotham out of context.
Little criticism of the makeup department. Selina is living rough, she's a homeless teen sleeping on rags (apparently not taking off her goggles she never uses), yet she's immaculately clean with lip gloss and eye liner on.
I understand the show is not gritty, it's cartoonish, but it's not like other characters don't get dirty. Gotham's a silly show, but you look at something like The Killing which also has homeless teen characters, and they're all filthy with ragged clothes.
Just looks weird how unfitting her "home" is to her actual appearance.

I thought this show was on the [very slight] uptick after the addition of Michael Chiklis. HOLY CRAP was I wrong. Last night's episode was embarrassing even by Gotham's standards, and they don't get much lower. What an unbelievable mess...
That I will probably never stop watching.

Nah, just a copycat that goes to Dr Dulmacher for a facelifting. They could reintroduce Jerome (at least actor wise) like this.

Anyone else thing Bridget looked a lot like Emily Blunt?
Another good episode overall. Really happy that Jerome's death still hasn't slowed the show down. I actually haven't missed him all that much and can't help but feel his death was perfectly time. Any more of him and his impact might have been lessened.
So that was Firefly. I liked it.

Political power, not actually immortality I believe. I assume most of the Waynes are dead BECAUSE the family was powerful. Either by doing stupid rich people things or by getting targeted by enemies.

Yeah, as amazing as Jerome was, I respect that they didn't want to overuse him to the point where the novelty wore off. If need be, like mentioned above, they can still bring the actor back.
The more I think about it, the more I want the following as a series finale. Ya know, when the show is ready to end.
In the final episode, Bruce Wayne dies and Gordon puts on the Bat costume.
Can you imagine the internet reactions? It would be pretty ballsy and shocking haha.

Maybe that's all she spends whatever money she makes on?
Damn, they have become a bit too trigger happy
This reminds me of Planet Terror.
The phrase after that it's gold too.

Very nice.
Assuming it's not Jean-Paul Valley, that would be dumb. But the position is supposed to be hereditary anyway, so it's all good.
Not sure what's going on with the Nygma plot; I'm assuming something horrible will happen to Ms. Kringle and that will bring out evil Nygma for real.
It's fun seeing Michael Chiklis doing everything by the book but still being a hardass about it. I can see him eventually getting to a breaking point where he just says fuck it and goes full Strike Team on everybody.

Absolutely. I like the actor but his Joker wasn't something they could realistically drag out over more than a handful of episodes.
I want more too
I'm glad they didn't drag out the character. He worked perfectly in the small dose we got and he set things up perfectly for all the crazy shit we're not seeing.
Can you go into a little more detail there? What makes the show so bad to you?

I doubt the show has any intention of redeeming her. This show is pretty clearly establishing its own cannon.
I actually sorta like the rhythm that the show is in mostly, that if they introduce a new (super)villain or whatever they generally give them at least 2 episodes to run amok before they get caught/killed/run off.

you know all those years of batman canon? all those conflicting stories etc etc?
forget about all of that and enjoy the show

I have no link to back it up, but I seriously recall them saying they had the green light from DC to kill off characters.
It'd be hilarious if they killed off Bruce.
LOL
When Firefly appeared a friend went like "....firefly ? is that really a batman villain ?" and I was like "yeah it is an obscure one ... but they are doing lots of bizarre choices... so I bet they would bring
that crazy batman pouches dude

So... this is Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Am I crazy, or does he look a little... familiar?
