First Impressions - Gotham: "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon"

This is by no means a deeply intense dissection of the episode.
It's just my quick comments and notes after seeing the episode only once (a la AoS).
Spoilers after the jump.
You've been warned...


Episode 13: "Welcome Back, Jim Gordon"
The Good:
Gordon may be back, but he's just making more waves. I guess the point of this episode was to show Gordon how far, and high, the corruption in the GCPD really goes. But was this realization really necessary? You'd think that being sent to Arkham was enough of a clue.


It was nice to see Ivy, Bruce, Alfred and Cat again. Not a big fan of Cat breaking his heart making Bruce cry though.

Riddler hates onions!

Again - loyalty!
And of course, Carole Kane.

The Bad: Flass. I didn't expect Flass to show up as Kringle's...what...boyfriend? He always represented police corruption to me, so having him appear as a bully to Nygma and just another cop with ties to the mob to the rest of the world is lame.

The WTF?: Why didn't Officer Delaware just run away after being cuffed? Gordon was looking in the trunk of the car, so he could have gotten away easy. Fish and Bullock have/had a thing? (sigh)

Adorkification Moment: I didn't see one. Doesn't mean there wasn't one, but still...
