That's the issue. What's the premise? I don't get it at a conceptual level. If its a police procedural, then why do I care that its set in Gotham without Batman running around? Yay, you police a crappier version of NY city. Congrats. I can watch the latest iteration of Law and Order or NCIS if I wanted that.
If its name dropping villains - am I to understand that Gordon and Bullock are going to be going after the likes of the Riddler, Penguin and Joker down the line? If so, that's laughable and unsustainable to any realistic degree.
If the show wanted to go the Gotham Central comic route, it would make more sense. i.e. focus on the men and women of Gotham PD as they live in a city where Batman exists and you have all kinds of crazy villains running around already established, etc.
The *wink wink* villain cameos were SO bad. The Nigma one in particular just got a big fat eye roll out of me.
Also, Jada Pinkett Smith doing her worst Eartha Kitt impersonation didn't help the proceedings.

It seems to me that they're going to explore the slow descent of Gotham from bad city to "jesus christ, we need a billionaire in a cape to clean this crap up". Basically, try to justify how things could go that poorly.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it'll be very interesting or exciting.

Yall should've known that a Batman show with no Batman wasn't going to fly.
No pun intended.

Gotta support my NFL-GAF bros - just picked it up!Hey NFL-GAF bros!
My team sucks this year. Probabilistically speaking, yours probably does too, even if you haven't come to terms with it yet. But you know what doesn't suck?
Answer: This awesome book I wrote:
Genre is fantasy, as you might expect from the description. It's short: a little under 100 pages. There's magic and maybe dragons.

You should give it a look (those of you who can read: sorry Gata). It's the best book I've read all year!

Agents of Shield was ok, interested to know what they'll do since we don't have a Marvel moving coming out soon.
But its week 4 of the road tk Cutler's MVP!
...no secondary means it's gonna be a bad game :/
First rule of new technology, always wait a month or two for the kinks to be worked out.
This is true. Early adoption is often not worth it.
this isnt a kink though its an engineering flaw in the device.

It's alright. They'll bend over to give Apple more money next year when the 6s arrives with the bending issues resolved.
After Antennagate with Steve telling everybody how to hold their iPhone properly, maybe they'll start selling IPhone approved pants to keep it from bending.

It's the same reason I can't get into Arrow.

I cant think of a witty comeback to this, so therefore I will deflect and remind you that your star wr is suspended 10 games.
The Fumble
You got your franchise stolen
You havent made the playoffs since 2004
The best qb in in the last 35 years was Bernie Kosar
Kellen Winslow Jr. missed a season attempted to ride a bike in a parking lot.
The fact that the steelers have beaten you like 35 times out 39 since 1994
The fact that since started high school you had to watch the Steelers win 2 super bowls

Oh, Jordan Staal broke his leg in a preseason game. Good thing I don't give a fuck about hockey or I'd be daydrinking right now.

It comes natural and its highly amusing to me. How can I push just enough for my amusement without getting someone to want to kill me/internet rage me.
Congrats on being a troll. Nothing requires quite the same level of finesse.
