Wasn't Flass supposed to be big, tough and blonde? He got the shaft twice now, once in Batman Begins where he was played by a black haired fat guy and now in this! Both played their parts well though, Flass IS a huge wiener.

I don't know, man. You need to be pretty tough to kill an elderly man in police custody from behind.

This week in Gotham.
1:Penguin has a very bad poker face. However he makes up for it with good improv and slipping out of trouble! 2:Love around this week with Ridler/Miss Kringle, Gordon/Doctor Lady and Harvey and red head irish lady! 3:Donal Logue is rehearsing his lines from "Grounded for life" and succeeds in making Harvey Bullock his own character. Gotham has my favourite incarnation of the guy. I know, heresy for Batman TAS but dude...Donal Logue. 4: More importantly, we got the Scarecrow! Yeah Jonathan Crane makes his cameo in this show plus the origins of why he is so angsty and loves Linkin Park. 5: Fish Mooney vs a Pirate! Leeeeeeet's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! 6; You don't mess with the Ridler or he will give you a hand! (you will see what I mean)

I loved the Penguin / Maroni thing, except that it was kind of ridiculous that Maroni didn't have any backup. And that Penguin didn't just smash the window and climb out instead of getting on the phone. Or that Penguin didn't bother to check the loads in the gun... Ok so maybe I didn't love it.
Bullock was back to sanity after his sudden romance with Fish Mooney. Seriously, there was nothing, then there was passionate kissing. Nonsense. Give me amoral sneaky Harvey with a heart of gold anytime.
Scarecrow was interesting, father & son, but ultimately was just another "In our next episode" setup. Lame.
Fish Mooney needs to die. I know they gave Jada Smith the contract for the season, but it's worth it to buy her out so she can die now. Off-screen. Unceremoniously. A "we're sorry we kept her around so long" at the end of the episode would be nice. Seriously? Pirate dude just SHOT the captain. And now he wants to wrestle ugly fingernails lady?
Gordon didn't do much except fail at romance. Go awkward guys! (My sports team)
And for the record: If I'm drowning in a pool is and an insane maniac has tied me up with rope to harness my deep abiding fear of swimming pools (not the case, but insane maniacs are not known for clear thinking), DO NOT TRY TO CUT THE ROPE FIRST!

The Harvey/Fish Mooney thing is...well it's kinda hinted at in the pilot but other then that is mostly dropped the moment she wanted him killed because he disrespected her. I think the writers forgot bout that little tidbit after the hiatus. Personally I want her offed as well, preferably by the Penguin while he does his signature laugh. Tophat and cane as well. They better do that for the finale!
Yeah I got no idea why this is a two-parter at all. Was the Electrocutioner also a two-parter?

This week in Gotham
1:Don Falcone had enough of this prequel bullshit and wants Penguin to get his ass in gear and get the Iceberg Lounge already. Marroni be damned! 2:Scarecrow Sr puts things in his VEEEEINNSSSS -Professor Frink voice-. 3:The Riddler is a fan of the film Perfume. 4:Fish Moony is becoming Queen of the Underworld...ship...Under Water World? I don't get paid for a reason, folks. 5:Penguin and the Riddler meet for the first time...aaaand it's awkward for everyone involved. I wonder that's why Ridler is never invited for Poker Nights at the Super Villain club. 6:Gordon's break with Penguin actually had me more emotionally heartbroken then what they tried with Barbara. Shows you how much i hate Barbs... 7:Bruce is a dick to rocks and karma rewards him with a sprained ankle. Also he really needs to buy a cellphone. 8:Falcone and Marroni are fans of Fifty Shades of Gray 9;Gotham's subtlety is back like a friggin' mace to the head with the Scarcrow in the background during the Crane Sr and Jr heart to heart. Explains the origin story though. 10:Gordon and Bullock are acting like proper cops, as in not shooting first, despite the fact they work in the most crooked of PD's in the US...huh. 11:Alfred and Bruce bound over a campfire and English phrases. Fucking love Alfred, so cool! 12:Okay I can ship Lesley and Gordon now, at least they got SOME chemistry. 13:Who-ever is holding Fish Moony imprisoned is a fan of Jeepers Creepers.

I'm beating Gorvar to the punch for the second time this season!
This show really needs to lose some of the sub-plots. And the obvious hinting. It's so annoying.
Fish Mooney's rise to power in the rathole is interesting, but does not, repeat does not have anything to do with anybody! So why include it?
Selina & Ivy helping Barbara pick out clothes? Stupid. Barbara coming in for the finale kiss? Stupid.
Implying a group of carnival performers have enough organization to have generational feuds or in house justice is pretty silly. Also, did you notice that the only animal seen in the Circus was the snake? (Incidentally, Snakes are not known for their devotion to their owners and the only reason I can think of a boa constrictor finding a dead body would be to eat it... which would have made for a much funnier scene... "Get it off" "Ow, it bit me!") Methinks the protesters against animal uses in the circus are winning. (Honestly, so long as the animals are well treated, I don't see a problem with it)
Gordon is right, a professional doctor really shouldn't be into psychic bullshit, and a professional doctor who's worked at Arkham should not be affected by an obviously crazy kid. Leaving aside these flaws, I liked the philosophical challenge she offered Jim that is quite pertinent to his character. Whether it's pertinent enough to allow her in the room while they question a witness is a different matter. Also, I know it's merely a convenient plot device to hold off the audience in some shows, but aren't inter-office relationships a big no-no in police departments?
Butch Gilzean dancing. Nuff said. (I bet that took a lot of takes to get it with a straight face)

This week in Gotham.
1:Penguin's Iceberg Lounge doesn't have the most greatest of starts. Nepotism never works Pengu, ask Will Smith when he and his Suicide Squad come rolling. 2:Barbara is back and says Gordon should screw off. NO! Screw YOU! Go back to Metropolis or Smallvile! This is Gotham, BITCH! 3; I knew showbuisiness was a tough buisiness with rivalries and shit but Acrobats and Clows duking it out in the ring? DAYUM!....I would've gone to a lot more circus's if that happend! Yo, fifty bucks on Bozo over there, he's kicking ass with that mallet! Not so good while on the ground are ya, ya dick?! (I am hilarious) 4: Bloodhound snakes!....It's a thing! 5: I'm having Carnivale flashbacks...which is weird since I never saw that show. It had a midget in it I think? And sex? A large dude killing people-i dunno... 6: Fish Mooney uses the family card to inspire her little rebellion...WHILE STANDING ON A HUMAN BEING LIKE HE IS A PLATFORM AND BEATING A MAN TO DEATH. 7: Thompkins is very open minded for a Doctor. I mean...Science? Religon? Call Constantine if you wanna be sure! 8: GODDAMNIT BARBARA GET OUT OF THIS SHOW! And stop dragging Catwoman and Poison Ivy down with you! 9: The Hellfire Club? What, Sebastien Shaw or Emma Frost killed the snake lady? Did they travel from one reality to another just to kill her? Multiverse theorists will have a field day with this shit! 10: The Joker shows up. Look I dont CARE if he's not offically revealed but he switched from Jack Nicholson to Heath Ledger to Mark Hamill. He has a creepy ass smile and laughter. Hell he is kinda pale and has big red lips. DUDE IS THE JOKER! And he is awesome to! 11; This episode has a lack of Donal Logue. 12; Zasz is a good hypnotist! 13: Alfred has recruited Bruce in the SAS!...the little salute thing.. 14: Jada Smith has perfected the sassy walk.

This show also failed to wring the easy comedy potential out of what would logically happen when an alcoholic recruits homeless children to help her win back a guy who's obviously moved on.
Butch got Reeked the fuck out by Zsasz. I hope Penguin gets to own ass again soon. The show's only really entertaining when that's happening, Logue is quipping, or Alfred's messing motherfuckers up.
And is Leslie psychotic or something? She believes in magic, and was apparently "thrilled" to be in the room to see a severely unhinged young man confess to murdering his mother. No wonder literally everyone ships CobbleJim.

I think she's a fan of Breaking Bad, that kid is a Salamanca!
I admit Penguin's been flopping around for to long. Dude is supposed to be a witty mobster guy, on par with Falcone and Maroni. He is like the one super villain next to Black Mask and the Joker who can still be seen as a "normal" mob boss but can still roll with the powered super villains. Maybe when he sees the bar has made him static and Fish Moony is coming back he finally don the tophat, monocle and umbrella and go to town. I still want this season to end with Moony being dropped the Gotham River (cement shoes of course) as Penguin is cackling.
As for Leslie and Gordon....I prefer them more than Gordon and Barbara but then again I did mention two episodes ago the fallout between Gordon and Penguin had me more emotionally distraught then when the blonde bitch left.

This guy's totally The Joker.
He has a clear, unambiguous origin story, and in his only real Joker scene, he does Ledger and Nicholson impressions, so everyone watching can tell he's The Joker.
That is Gotham as fuck.

I'm starting to think that Fish'll survive Season One. There are only like six or seven episodes left, which is probably too long for her to take over the spot wherever she is, get back to Gotham and face off against Penguin. Though knowing Gotham's very inconsistent pacing, you never know. I was sure Penguin in the countryside and Gordon in Arkham were going to be multiple episode arcs, but they were both more or less single episodes.
I think it's Falcone who might end up dying soon. Basically everyone's pissed at him, he doesn't need to stick around to throw acid into any DA's face, and him dying would let Zsasz go full crazy.
