Last week’s Gotham was the worst episode to date. This week’s episode was arguably the best. Make up your mind Gotham! Are you a pit of despair or a beacon of light that guides us across the television wastelands? Dramatic pause for reflection.
Opener:
- Thought provoking questions from friends of the podcast Cary over at Recollections Of Play and Caitlin (How To Math Blog).
Great POW! BAM! KABOOM! Moments:
- A clear, concise story with none of the clutter we’re used to.
- A tie-in to Batman: Year One.
- A crime occurs and we actually care if it gets solved.
- Scenes that would normally take away from the story actually added some levity.
- The reintroduction of Bruce and Alfred.
- Zsasz makes bad episodes tolerable and good episodes great!
- A telephone booth on the pier.
Nice Try Moments:
- Waste of an interesting character if they don’t bring Flass back.
- Would have been a good time to wrap up the Fish Mooney story…..permanently!
- Bullock and Mooney sitting in a tree….
Well done gentlemen! You have more hope for the show than I do. 🙂 I don’t care for the “monster of the week” approach either, but if they’re going to commit to it, then they should COMMIT. If the show would just hone its focus, it could be something really great.
Thanks for the comment Cary! I couldn’t agree more. The monster of the week works well occasionally but not every week. You’re right. If they take the time to commit to something, be it character development or storyline, this show could be a winner. All we ask for is a little CONSISTENCY!
