As this show progresses Jim is revealing his biggest flaw. Unlike other characters who have more tangible flaws, Jim exhibits one of the most classic and easily missed flaws. Pride. Jim is so full of himself and his abilities that he throws reason to the wind to take a stand. The major difference between Jim…
Jim isn’t handling his job at Arkham Asylum very well as inmates keep getting into fights and causing a stir on his watch. It’s already to the point where Jim’s punishment job may get even worse. Inside the asylum, Jim Gordon still can’t shake his detective ways. However, it really is more of an indication…
It’s really not surprising that Gordon’s plan blew up in his face. Gordon thus far has been portrayed as a good man. His persistence and unwillingness to give into corruption is what has gotten him so far. That said, he hasn’t been shown as some stellar cop with really great instincts. He’s pretty good, but…
Yes! Barbara is gone. It’s sad when a character depars in a note and I’m thrilled that they are leaving because I find them so irritating that they are no longer welcome. Gordon negotiated for Cat to say at Wayne Manor. Alfred, unsurprisingly, was not all for the arrangement, but agreed yet again due to…
We’re back to case of the week this time with a man fighting for his boss who watched him through the cameras. This one was quite as elaborate and entertaining, but there was a lot of good introductions and information. Through this episode we were introduced for Sionis. Sionis is having is employees vying for…
We finally saw something else from Jim Gordon and that was anger. For just a moment Jim was more than just a stand up guy, instead he actually shot a man. Sure, he broke into his fiance’s home and was ready to do lord knows what as punishment for leaving Cobblepot alive. Jim went from…
It’s great to see the the major difference in Harvey Bullock’s attitude. The flashback to Bullock as a young cop and on the Spirit of the Goat case. He wasn’t quite wide eyed and chipper, but he was enthusiastic. He wasn’t willing to let another girl potentially die on his watch. It’s a far cry…
“Don’t Vex me, mortal.” Let’s be honest, I don’t feel much sympathy for anyone who decides that sniffing the random green substance just because it says to. I mean, seriously, that’s not smart. In any universe. So when he became some sort of crazed lunatic that guzzles milk and can carry ATM machines, while spouting…
The Penguin just doesn’t listen. Cobblepot was told to not come back to Gotham. So of course he never even left the city, claiming he had no where else to go. He’s been making his way around the city, killing people again and again. Now when Cobblepot actually didn’t do the killing, he made it…
One of the best things about Gotham is the image that it so successfully sets of the image of the city. There is a gritty, dirty city feel that exudes from the streets of Gotham. Whether it’s the people moving through the streets or the smoke rising from the buildings it feels like it comes…
Despite the title of the episode being “Selina Kyle”, we didn’t actually get that much with the young catwoman. Instead we dealt with a plot involving street kids being abducted for the dollmaker by a pair of creepy adults. Sure, the adults didn’t look all that threatening, but they were most certainly the dangerous sort…
Gotham succeeded within moments of portraying the gritty city that is Gotham. It is a place where criminals will kill victims in front of children. Where cops have no qualms with shooting a criminal if things even get slightly out of hand. The place is dirty and cops are willing to look the other way…
September marks the beginning of the fall TV season. A long series f events in which we begin to see shows that will inevitably fail and the return of favorites. With only the intial flood approaching, I can’t help but think about te fall season as a whole. We’ve already seen the return of Doctor…
Next network to release their fall schedule at Upfronts was Fox. They didn’t have nearly as many pick ups as NBC did, but there are a number of new shows joining the roster. Check out the Fall line up and the descriptions of the new shows below. 8-8:30 8:30-9 9-9:30 9:30-10 Monday Gotham Sleepy Hollow…
Multiple incarnations can be confusing or they can be brilliant. Doctor Who does it with a revolving door of Doctors who are replaced periodically. Each Doctor will have their own look and personality and simply follow a similar trajectory with similar themes. Or James Bond who also does a similar thing. No one is ever…
So, I pondered...
