First Impressions - Gotham: "Worse Than a Crime"

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 ahead.

You've been warned...


Season 2 Episode 11: "Worse Than a Crime"

The Good:

"I don't love you, I pity you."

My God - David Mazouz's is doing one hell of a job. If they don't let him play Bruce in their "The New 52" television/film crossover 'verse coming out in 2025, they're our of their damn minds. 

Oh S#!T I forgot about Lucius. He's awesome.

Limping Penguin is awesomer than ever...but he's not making it up all those stairs.

Better late than never.

I don't think Gordon killed Galavan Dumas,

I think he did.

The Bad:

Aw, Alfred. Oh man.

That crazy chic's still chasing him? Isn't he still bleeding from last episode? And how would he get out of that freezer? Never mind the stuff falling on him, wouldn't he be trapped...in the airtight freezer?

WTF?:

"Kick me out or kill me. Same thing?"

Look at Cat, she's doing alright...

Adorkification Moment:

Hugo Strange shoutout!

HOLY CRAP!

I even caught the Solomon Grundy mention, but is 805 supposed to mean something?

"Martian in a rubber suit?"

Season 2 Episode 10: "The Son of Gotham"

The Good:

Funny!

And he's right - if you're gonna go into the sewers, take the ten minutes and change shoes. An argument can be made where (a la The Fugitive), you're in pursuit of someone. In which case, you're f**ked. But Bullock and Gordon were figuring things out and making plans. They had time to change shoes. And don't tell me GCPD doesn't have special shoes for sewers. 

Nygma's a cool dude, but...

"Where's the spicy mustard?"

Oh. My. God.

Good to see Selena back in the game.

I'm liking this f**king guy too. He in Sin City? Why yes...yes he was.

The playa emerges...

The Bad:

...but she got off waaaay too easy.

The WTF?:

Why beat Gordon? He out of Grey Poupon?

You're telling me that this guy goes toe-to-toe with Tabitha "hot-pants" Galavan?

He even gets shot. AGAIN! I'm sick of Alfred bleeding almost every episode. I'm not saying he should be invincible or that his constant woundage doesn't prove to Bruce that his future endeavors won't have a price. But all that fighting and offense/defense stuff is supposed to be taught by others. Alfred's supposed to be teaching Bruce the arts of stealth, flair, disguise and maybe even a little emergency first-aid. Right?

"The Son of Gotham must die"...

 

Nope. No idea who that could be.

Adorkification Moment:

These two really do make a good team.

Season 2 Episode 9: "A Bitter Pill to Swallow"

The Good:

The graffiti. Someone needs to clean up this town...

...sorry.

"There's no line...just the law."

Sounds like a life-long mantra to me. 

The Bad:

Oh Bruce...stop thinking with your pants.

Best. Butler. Ever.

Okay...Best. Human. Butler. Ever.

The WTF?:

Don't know this guy.

Season 2 Episode 8: "Tonight's the Night"

The Good:

Bruce.

In the cave. With the bat chirping in the background.

And he told Alfred everything.

Every single scene Nygma was in.

Great Bullock moments, but seriously...reel-to-reel? 

The Bad:

The WTF?:

I wasn't buying his putting Kringle's body in and out of the trunk by himself. It looked too easy.

She fell?

She survived?

Adorkification Moment:

Penguin's trailer reminded me of Toy Story.

And how 'bout Eddie's license plate, huh?
