Gotham

[TKz]

As the series goes on, I like it so long as I don't think of it as an adaptation of anything Batman. It's more of a non-canon alternate universe kind of thing, like how Batman: Earth One was. Just have to take the show as it is on the surface

On the surface, ignoring what it's adapting, it's a piss poor cop show with a few actors that deserve better writing.

And yeah, I can't stand Alfred.

This was a role Donal Logue was made for though

If they were going to introduce this many familiar faces in the first half hour then why didn't they just make it an ensemble cast and just have it like Heroes where it's all seperate until it ties in at the end of tbe season rather than a procedural cop show? >_>

Yeah, thus it's a damn shame that the role is on a show with awful writing.

He's had a habit of that lately.

[Benji]

Loved the portrayals of Bullock, Gordon and Penguin, as well as the brief Selina scene. The rest was middling to bloody awful (Alfred and Bruce were cringe inducingly bad). It's like Arrow and Smallville were - the seeds are there, but it doesn't have a clue what it needs to be just yet.

Hey I just took a new drug that makes me feel like a god! But also makes me realize how much I need calcium with zero understanding that up to this point I've never known my calcium levels.

Fuck this show gets dumber. Only penguin is worth the watch.

I watched the first 4 episodes....I've kinda given up though. If the season overall gets a good grade, I"ll marathon it over the summer sometime

It's gonna premiere over here on November 11, but I'm really not inclined to watch it. Everything I read and see about it just seems so uninteresting to me (and, most of the times, idiotic), and I usually try to watch anything comic book related (the only recent thing I haven't watched is Arrow, but that's because it premiered over here at the same timeslot as The Walking Dead... I'm thinking of trying to obtain Arrow and watch it, though), but this seriously irks. I really think I'll just pass this one.

Penguin continues to be the breakout character of the show but I found this episode to be all over the place in pacing and character portrayal. It seems to be losing its voice rather than finding it.

[Benji]

Watched episode two, Jada Pinkett's character needs to die a quick death, and if Bruce and Alfred mysteriously disappear and come back with new faces then it wouldn't be the worst thing and I wouldn't raise a stink about it (so long as they don't suck as hard).

So anyone read the theory that Oswald Cobblepot is actually The Joker?

[Benji]

No?

A lot of it kind of makes sense

[EWB's Best Poster.]

That would suck. Because this made me actually think penguin was kind of a more interesting character that I'd like to see take center stage. If they just pass it off to the fucking joker again, this show just falls into the same pit trap as the games and comics

[Benjamin]

The Arkham episode wasn't bad, I thought. It had a lot of Penguin in it, which was great.

[Beeker00Zero]

Penguin. Bullock.

Get rid of the rest and this should would be infinitely better.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Not that the bar was set high, but this last episode was by far the best one.

[Draevyn]

It was but Gotham continues to get harder and harder to watch even though the episodes are getting a little better each week. It just feels like they've already done too much to destroy the show that there really is no coming back. With that being said though, Penguin is a creepy creepy dude and if it just became a matter of watching his rise to the top as a Gotham Kingpin, I would continue to stick with it.

[Benjamin]

I've already accepted it being camp as hell and now I'm just sort of ignoring when they try to get all serious and stuff. They really need to lose the Bruce and Arthur, and that woman playing Barbara is fucking horrendous, I hate her. And why do we always get such close close-ups of her face? The further the camera is away from her, the prettier she is, and that's all she seems to be good for now.

Bullock and Penguin continue to be the best, and once they get this stupid war over with, I'm hoping they can concentrate on the real good stuff of this show, which is Bullock and Penguin.
