Well that's officially the first time Gotham has had back to back good episodes. I am really glad this show is gaining ground and has found a place on television. Once again the episode didn't try to do too much and stuck to what has worked so far.
Falcone and Penguin were major bright spots this week both sharing the best scenes of the night. More on the last scene later. It's interesting watching this show and wondering what types of changes they can make to surprise us hardcore Batman fans. This episode shared a few twists that were very different than the source material, but they worked.
Gordon is on the run from basically everyone, but this time it was Zsasz, played by Anthony Carrigan, who is working for Falcone. Funny how Carrigan has now been on both Gotham and Flash so far. But I would assume Zsasz would be more of a long term role. He wasn't that effective so far as the character but I do realize the difficulty of bringing that role to life rather than just in the Arkham games. Tough act to follow but it would be cool. Bullock was mad at Gordon than all of a sudden on his team for really no reason. They didn't do a good job of explaining that but really the whole back and forth has been silly all season. Bullock did have the funniest line of the night though "Do we get a last meal or smoke or just talk?".
I also didn't find the scene at the police station to be all that believable. I find it hard to believe that not a single cop would have stayed and helped Gordon considering it was just revealed he didn't kill Penguin. The last scene involving Penguin and Falcone was cool, but it didn't shock me as much as some people. But a few inconsistencies don't change the fact that it was another solid week for Gotham. They are trying there best at keeping us interested and it has worked so far.
+Falcone & Penguin
+Twists and turns keep you guessing
+Stuck to one story this week
+Bullock's line..
-..Too bad his character is so inconsistent
-Dramatic police station scene didn't make sense
8.0/10
