Gotham - Page 8

*BubblyShell22* · 10-19-2014, 05:43 PM

Oh, you'll like the other eps as they keep getting better and better, so keep on watching. I have to say that my fave characters are Selina Kyle and Oswald Cobblepot. Oh, and I like Jim, too.

*Raph's Girl* · 10-22-2014, 06:12 PM

Aaand Gotham has now cast Leslie Thompkins!! She'll be played by "Firefly" actress Morena Baccarin. This will be her 4th DC character as she voiced Black Canary in JLA/U, Cheetah in "Batman Brave and the Bold" and Talia in "Son of Batman"... This take on Leslie is of course different in that she's a doctor at Arkham and has her eyes set on Jim Gordon.

I have been diggin this show!

*BubblyShell22* · 10-24-2014, 05:59 PM

Yep, and next week's episode looks crazy.

*snake* · 10-24-2014, 06:16 PM

So any idea why next weeks episode is called "Spirit Of The Goat".

*TigerClaw* · 10-24-2014, 06:21 PM

Here's your first look at Victor Zsasz

*BubblyShell22* · 10-25-2014, 09:17 AM

Whoa. He really looks like a cool character.

And my guess at the episode name, maybe because it's a sort of Halloween themed episode.

DarkLightDragon · 10-25-2014, 12:34 PM

Since my only exposure to Zsasz was the Arkham games and know he has the whole "carves number of kills on his body" thing, I'm either willing to assume he's yet to kill or has carves already hidden underneath his clothes.

*blindturtle02* · 10-25-2014, 01:10 PM

I've always liked Zsasz. I first heard him via the old BBC radio drama adaptation of Knightfall. Then of course I ran into him again via the Arkham cutscenes. I'm glad they added him to the show's rogues roster. Awesome news concerning Leslie Thompkins. Of course, I've only seen her in the animated series, so I'm looking forward to seeing her in Gotham.

When I think of Halloween, I think of goats.

I missed, I think, the last two, but I actually like it way more than I expected to. Even when the stories are a little bit weak, the characters keep it afloat. And it does a good job of hooking you into the next episode. We watched the first four in a row on DVR after only intending to check out the first one to see how it was. No, it's not very subtle, but when you have a lot of story you want to tell and you're not completely sure how long you're going to get to tell it in, you try and get as much done as possible as quickly as possible. Some of it's a little too "Wink-Wink", but that's something I generally expect nowadays.

I'm intrigued to see where it goes, as well as how long they can hold out before they inevitably get impatient and jump ahead 10 years. I doubt they'll do a "proper" Batman show anytime soon, but I can see them doing like Smallville did and use the last Season as a build-up to a final "unveiling". Except not like Smallville as in, y'know, not doing it sh*tty. I could see the final episode being Bruce finally becoming Batman and catching his parents' killer, and they'd somehow find a way to have The Joker be part of the events, so the show can ultimately end with setting the two of them on their iconic death-dance. It'll probably be something close to that.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-27-2014, 04:44 PM

I guess it just depends on how well the show's received if it'll be renewed for another season. But I like what we're getting now and can't wait for tonight for sure.

~~Davetello~~ · 10-31-2014, 02:14 PM

Actually really been enjoying the show. Things seem to be bubbling up nicely. Hope it isn't nuked after a single season.

pharaohyami5000 · 10-31-2014, 02:54 PM

Same here. Especially this episode with good Harvey Bullock screentime. And that ending. What will come out of that?

I haven't seen much television series to know this much, but this is the 2nd TV series I've watched where someone became the victim of the ATM from last week's episode, I believe.

Possible spoiler for another show...

are you referring to Breaking Bad, when the crack whore kills her man with the ATM (when Jesse is in their home)?

And yeah, "Viper" and "Spirit of the Goat" were both enjoyable episodes. I like how Viper teases Venom - we will possibly be seeing Bane at some stage. And this week's episode was more of a serial killer chase, but it was excellent to see Penguin walk straight into the police station and announce himself. I think the show is better than some people give it credit for, despite some suspect writing at times.

Also enjoying Angel Batista from Dexter as Sal Maroni.

pharaohyami5000 · 10-31-2014, 04:15 PM

Bingo! Unsure if there are other shows that has the "doom of ATM trope" (if it exists) but these 2 shows are currently the only ones that have that.

I guess it helps that I don't watch much cop shows or read the comics based on this series to gain the bigger enjoyment of Gotham. I don't know. Knowledge may be power, but seems like it's not powerful enough to gain enjoyment of something that's trying to welcome itself to reality.

Dexter. Hmm. Another show I'm considering.

*Raph's Girl* · 11-03-2014, 03:46 PM

So... apparantly in "Gotham" Scarecrow is a legacy villain. Jonathan Crane will be a kid but it's his father who'll be Scarecrow first. So insanity is genetic! Fun!

*shuriken* · 11-03-2014, 05:09 PM

I was able to catch the 1st 2 episodes. SO far Bullock, Gordon, Falcone, Cobblepot, and Selina are great. Alfred and Bruce are so so and Fish Mooney is so over the top ridiculous its painful.
And is it just me or is there a striking resemblance that the actress playing Selina Kyle looks like Michelle Pfeiffer some 40 years ago?

It's sort of like that in the new 52, although Scarecrow's father was a scientist experimenting on his son with fear.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-04-2014, 12:08 PM

Didn't watch the episode as I wasn't feeling well, so I missed it. Ah, well, it's just one episode.
