Also Carol Kane (Penguin's mother) is in the new Netflix comedy, Unbreakable Schmidt. She's pretty great, sort of a female Frank Reynolds-type. It's a testament to how good the actors in Gotham can be when they aren't working with the horrible material of Gotham. (I bet the actors who play Nygma and Barb are actually Bryan Cranston level in other shows.)
Also the guy who plays Gotham's Mayor (and Larry David's irritating cousin) was in UKS:

Dude, Daredevil is so cool. Kinda hard to believe this is the same universe where Tony Stark flies around drunk in his suit, Hulk never gets his own movie again and there is a talking raccoon with a tree friend someplace.
FYI Glow is right, go watch Daredevil. IS REALLY GOOD. Makes me regret not owning a lot of DD comics.
Also Ill watch Gotham tommoz, do my "This week on Gotham" lest the forum drift into chaos.

This week on Gotham; 1: Fish Mooney still walks around in her bath robe suit thing.... For the love of god, let one of the producers lend her a shirt or something! 2: Bruce can make a mean sandwhich but lacks the lying dressing. 3: Lesly Thompkins is back, yaaaaay! Seriously, good chemistry here! 4: The intro screen is after EIGHT MINUTES! Knock that shit off, tv! Even Daredevil knows not to extend it past five! 5: Alfred is wounded like all hell but he still has that British wit. Love this guy! 6: Pengu is looking to expand his turf and aparantly he pays in favours now instead of money. 7; I MISSED YOU DONAL LOGUE! Terriers was AWESOME! He even talks about dogs! 8: Nigma stop saying like things are a puzzle. It's pissing me off!...Neah just kidding, go on pal 9: Why does anyone want to work for Fish Mooney after she stabbed them in the back already before? 10: Peter Petrilli from Heroes wants to make a woman suit! Also how does he pick up all these women? All my red flags are waving so hard in the wind right now. Super hard, dawg! 11: Peter Petrilli is a fan of Fifty Shades of Gray. 12: Pengu smells Bruce' storyline and doesnt seem to like it. 13: Gotham just gave me the finger! Well right back at you, buddy! 14: Fish Mooney is a fan of A Nightmare on Elm Street. 15: Dollmaker is a fan of the human centipede. 16: One problem with Fish' plan...why dont they use the Dollmaker as a hostage?! 17: The sparky oh so healthy and totally not dangerious railway system of Gtoham from Batman Begins makes a cameo. 18: Oh man....Earl of Surrey, what HAPPENED to you during the hiatus, man?! You got your drunken ass kicked by CHILDREN. Bruce isnt even Robin-tier at this point! You suck! 19: Gordon is in a no taking prisoners mood, i dig yo! 20; No Barbara this episode, hurray! And now back to Daredevil!

Daredevil is indeed the shit. I had a good feeling about it because I love the character, and I liked Cox in Boardwalk Empire, but it's totally exceeded my expectations. Netflix seems like a really good fit for one of these serialized comic book shows.
Season 2 needs to get Walton Goggins as Bullseye. Justified did just finish, after all.
I'm certainly hyped for that Jessica Jones series Netflix has coming out later this year. It's got Krysten Ritter, David Tennant and Carrie Ann Moss, so that should be pretty good.
Also, so you got around to watching Terriers, Gorvar? I'm glad at least one person I know has now seen it.

That theme song got me hooked actually. I admit Logue is one of my fav actors. I really liked him in Grounded for Life and Vikings. And he made The Patriot tolerable....barely. I hate Mel Gibson but I watched for the Logue, man! ....I hope they made it to Mexico.
I really like Daredevil. Episode 2's last five minutes was so John Woo like that it was awesome! Best thing of all is most of the stunts you see in this are from Cox himself. After that episode I immdiatly went to Amazon to buy a Daredevil Volume because i'm that kind of sheep. Ill be watching episode 3 later tonight, heard the Kingpin will pop up!
As for Jessica Jones...gotta admit im not a fan of hers per se. I liked her in New Avengers and I picked up one copy of Alias but the artwork didnt grab me. But im older now so ill give it a shot. That being said I would've prefered a Spider-Woman series but thats just my bias there.

Spoilers for Terriers: Well, as much as you can spoil a cancelled 5 year old TV show. The creator of Terriers said they end up heading to take Britt to prison instead of Mexico. They decide to grow up, and it turns out Katie's baby is actually Britt's. Presumably since he was only doing a couple of years, there just would've been a couple of episodes of Hank and Britt solving prison mysteries on opposite sides of the fence until Britt got out. Man, I would've fucking loved to see that. I've been watching pretty much any offbeat detective show I can find since I finished S1 of Terriers. That's why the upcoming Jessica Jones show seems pretty appealing to me, too. Sorta spoilers for DD: There are a couple fight scenes later in the series that are about as good as the Episode 2 fight. And Vincent D'Onofrio kills it as Wilson Fisk. Heavier spoilers: When Matt actually gets the red suit, it looks a bit disappointing and goofy compared to the blind ninja look he was rocking for most of Season 1. Hopefully they tweak it for Season 2/The Defenders.

I admit, the ninja costume is AWESOME. The red suit on the main screen in-between episodes (just got to the episode where we meet Stick so bout halfway through the season) is not something I like. I actually prefer the Affleck DD costume in that regard. That's the only good thing i'll say bout that film...besides Micheal Clarke Duncan (RIP) and Collin Farrel's awesome chemistry. And despite Daredevil being a mediocre film i'm kinda glad it got two people together and they have a family now. I'm just sappy like that. Speaking of the Kingpin, I REALLY like D'Onofrio's take on Fisk here. In Spiderman TAS he was portrayed as a bad guy yeah but he loved his family. And in Daredevil he had this nice charisma to him. Duncan was a good Kingpin, i dont care if his skin colour wasn't correct he was awesome! Now what I liked in this here Daredevil show as well that he can be a nice man (his relationship with Vanessa, his loyal compatriots and Wesley show this) although it's obvious he has severe emotional issues. And then he puts a guy's head in between his car door and smashes it to fleshy bits. Holy SHIT that was awesome! I can safely say this show blows Agents of SHIELD and (back on topic) Gotham right out of the water. When Foggy told Karen to be nice to the fax machine for when the Machines will take over...I just lol'd cuz of Age of Ultron. That shit was so meta...

Speaking of the Kingpin, I REALLY like D'Onofrio's take on Fisk here. ...(snip)... Duncan was a good Kingpin, i dont care if his skin colour wasn't correct he was awesome! I've only watched the first episode of Daredevil so far on Netflix - so I haven't seen D'Onofrio's take on Fisk yet - but, part of the reason I started watching the show (I was somewhat hesitant, even though Linders and J both told me it was really good) was because I knew Vincent D'Onofrio is in it. I absolutely love him as an actor. As for Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin in the movie with Ben Affleck, Duncan was fantastic as Kingpin - but then, Duncan was fantastic in any role he took on. It was a horribly sad day when I found out he'd passed away, he will be missed. I will say though that the Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck was part of the reason I was reluctant to watch the Netflix series... I may be misremembering, as it's been years since I saw that movie, but... when I was dithering about whether to watch the series on Netflix, Linders said "Just forget about the movie with Ben Affleck and you'll be fine...". The way I remember it, Michael Clarke Duncan was the only good thing about the movie...

D'Onofrio shows up at the end of episode 3 and shows up as a regular afterward, Lily. You'll like him, everyone does! Also deffo watch episode 2, the end of that episode is awesome!

So glad that Fish won't be back for season 2. Couldn't care less about her to be honest. They need to pick up the pace with Bruce's story because it's starting to get lazy. Can't wait for the Riddler to really start getting shape.

They need to somehow get Karina Logue on Gotham. Maybe Bullock's sister visits from Metropolis, or there's a villain going around with a gender changing ray or some shit.
Also, what happened to Montoya and Allen? Weren't they main cast members? They just sort of fell into a narrative black hole a while ago.

They pretty much dissapeared after the first hiatus. Save for Montoya shagging Barbara and them dumping her in that Arkham episode, she's gone to. I think they might pop up for the finale in two weeks. Maybe. Don't really care. Also noticed the Ogre's butler dad is actually a one-episode guy from Star Trek: TNG. Next to Weyoun who appeared in two episodes, i'm sensing a trend here.
