Status quo has finally taken a major hit with tonight’s episode and this was the series first significant game-changer. Time to break down all the fun now. Apparently this episode is set in 1984 as Essen is briefing the officers about Gruber and Danzig’s escape from Arkham Asylum using an overhead projector. When will this […]
After a rocky first half of its debut season, it seems like the producers took to heart viewer complaints as “Rogue’s Gallery” more closely resembles the pre-Batman Gotham the show could be and marks a welcome step in the right direction. Following his blow-up with the mayor, Gordon is assigned security detail at the newly […]
‘Gotham’ has had a mixed first half of its debut season with some good (Penguin, Bullock) bad (Barbara, Montoya & Allen, Barbara because she’s so bad it’s worth mentioning twice) and some we’ll let it play out some more moments (young detective Bruce and the ever-present Kat/Selina). Tonight’s fall finale finally felt like everything came […]
And the streak of consecutive good episodes of ‘Gotham’ ends at two. This week’s outing had a lot happening with the introduction of a major character in the Batman mythos, Bruce rediscovering his smile, another development in the slow-brewing gang war and a shocking cliffhanger that should surprise no one whose watched the show since […]
Coming off its strongest episode yet, tonight’s show had a lot riding on it to keep the momentum rolling and for the most part it did although it had to sludge through the series’ weakest subplot — hopefully for an extended period of time — to get there. We open with two men, clad in […]
Don’t look now, but ‘Gotham’ may have finally turned the corner to becoming the interesting pre-Batman show we’ve desperately wanted in easily this season’s best episode featuring the two main characters finally striking back, the start of the gang wars and a shocking alliance is revealed. Somewhat surprisingly, we don’t pick right up from last […]
Tonight’s episode chugs along on a perfectly fine throwaway Halloween appropriate outing. Then the last five minutes has the most significant advancement in the series since the show’s premiere ending with a major cliffhanger. From a more cynical perspective, I’d argue that ‘Gotham’ can’t even do a filler episode right, but for the first time, […]
The nagging issues that have continued to plague “Gotham” since its start continued with tonight’s episode, but for the first time in the series, it feels like something actually happened that could lead to some very intriguing future episodes. A guitar-playing bum gets a donation, but instead of spare change he spots a vial with […]
We’re already off to a promising start this week as it kicks off with last week’s mini-cliffhanger with Oswald visiting Gordon. Predictably, ‘ol Jim is not very happy about this pop-in guest and goes off on Oswald for potentially costing both their lives. Cobblepot comes with an offer — the two can form an alliance […]
Gotham has its first appearance of a vigilante, but this one has a unique way of dealing with the city’s corruption. We open with a crooked businessman looking to escape a mob of reporters. He leaves out a side door only to get cornered by a mysterious masked man who cuffs him to a weather […]
