Penguin...out!


Anybody still watching Gotham? No? Oh...ok, then.

Anyway, Oswald has found that he has romantic feelings toward Edward. He has been trying to find the courage to tell him with the hopes that his love will be reciprocated. Meanwhile, Edward has met a new girl that looks just like the girl he loved, then murdered. And she likes riddles! So it's just a matter of time before Oswald catches on that Ed is happily straight. Oh, the hijinks that will result...!

Other Gotham stuff....Ivy took a chemical bath and is now 19 and hot, Jervis Tetch is an incestuous sexual abuser with an unhealthy Jim Gordon fixation, and the Court of Owls has a Bruce Wayne clone with super powers.

The GCPD is still the absolute worst police force ever.

Yeah I don't even fast-forward past what I consider to be the boring parts anymore and instead I just dumped the show all together.

There are PLENTY of TV (and streaming) shows on nowadays that cater to our particular nerdy tastes that we really don't have to watch any old tripe anymore emoticon

Wow.... they are really trying hard to get ratings.

Like I said when the show started, taking place around the time the Wyanes died doesn't really work, if the show was set a year or two before the Batman showed up, it would work a lot better. (because then you at least get to see some improvements in the GCPD)

Eh, I think following Gordon after the Wayne murders isn't a bad idea...what was a bad idea was the insistence on introducing Batman's rogues before there's a Batman, anything having to do with Barbara Keane, and turning Jim Gordon into a massive hypocrite.

As for Penguin...feh. I've basically dropped the show, just haven't taken it off the DVR's scheduling yet.

Yeah, that about covers it. I hated the bringing in everyone from the Rogues Gallery before Bats, but I could live with that. I haaaaate Keen, though she's a lot more entertaining now that she's crazy.

But completely missing the point of who James Gordon is.. ugh, yeah. Pretty much done. It's one of those shows I record to watch when i have absolutely nothing else to do and just want to laugh at something terrible, really, at this point. Wouldn't miss it.

Gotham is one of those things that I think would be received better if it hadn't been tied to an existing mythos, or if you knew nothing about said mythos. If it had been produced as what it is, a mix of a cop show and the X-Files, it might've been fine. Any attempt to reconcile this with any version of the Batman universe is insane though.
