Gotham

[bexVN]

Been wondering the same, was enjoying this programme, don't want to start forgetting all the plot lines.

I've enjoyed watching this - really like the Oswald Cobblepot character.

I'm loving Edward Nigma

I don't like Oswald, he's just not a nice person, Edward is.

[bexVN]

Oswald is brilliantly creepy, he gives me the eebie jeebies. Which fits as I also hated The Penguin in the Batman film!!

Unfortunately for me it's overshadowed by Heller's previous Series "The Mentalist". That returns this week to C5 and for me "Gotham" suffers against it.

If you're old enough to remember the point at which Moonlighting nosedived, I don't need to carry on.

If you're not... well, you may change your mind this season...

Which is ironic given that the most frustrating thing about watching US TV programs is the way the viewer is subjected to a refresh of what happened the week before and a refresh after every ad break.

What the hell is all the US "mid season" break guff about anyway?

I am watching the Current US season. It is more engaging than "Gotham" Especially "Nothing Gold can Stay". However the preceding episodes have also been very strong.

I'm hoping Heller can get a handle on it as it shows promise and the premise can work as "Smallville" showed. But I prefer "The Flash" which has taken some unpromising material and really worked it well.

Just popped up on our sky box to record next week.

[AshVX220]

Saw the trailer last night, starts on Monday with a feature length episode.

[AlexRS2782]

Nice to have it back on - good double episode as well to get back into the swing of things.

[RemaL]

Agreed I'm glad it's back on and enjoying it

[Joshsl]

Good episode last night, nice surprise with it being a feature length special aswell

[Beefmeister]

So, the last episode was good - was Jerome the Joker?

The maniacal laughing and the way he spoke was very reminiscent of Ledger's Joker.

[pushthebutton]

I thought that he must be the Joker too..

I thought so too - the performance reminded me very much of Jack Nicholson's take on The Joker.

Yeah, the laughing part was very Nicholson, but the dialogue was pure Ledger. Either way, he was wonderfully manic, creepy and scary, just what a Joker should be.

Just caught up with the finale on 5 last night. Decent ending that leaves lots of room to play with the character development next season.

Especially Nygma who is finally in the stages of snapping completely, Penguin doing less grovelling and taking more physical action than before. Could also be interesting with Barbara's storyline as i assume that could go many ways either via Arkham Asylum, joining one of the many criminal gangs, etc, after what she was up to.

Great episode! Wonder how long till wait for next season!
