B.B. Rodriguez posted:I did. Almost like a subliminal message being inserted into the video that only .01% of the population would trigger or something weird. I felt the people watching the video were somehow compelled to do those things by an outside force. They need to take a cue from Agents of Shield and Arkham Knight and have Jerome's blood somehow spread through the city making people crazy.

I was pretty much done with the show and then Vic Mackey shows up out of nowhere. Good idea, show runners.

I just caught up on the first handful of episodes of this season and the general feel of the show and the difference between this season and last makes it feel almost like it's a remake of Gotham than a continuation of the first season. The Rise of Villains subtitle comes off almost as a maybe trying to mark that this is maybe a much better starting off point for new viewers than trying to go back to season 1 and people can almost pretend like THIS is the real first season of the Rise of Villains-era. Penguin made a comment, though, that sort of got me thinking: A year ago he was holding Fish Mooney's umbrella and he's killed or exiled all his former bosses and taken their power and runs the underworld of Gotham. Despite his power, Galavan is now bossing him around. This sort of makes me wonder if this is going to be the start of an arc that sees Penguin repeating what happened to him in the first season, essentially usurping Galavan's plan to take over Gotham and make it his own. It would maybe be a bit of an homage to the Cobblepot for Mayor plotpoint of Batman Returns and one of those Elseworlds books. Oswald stepping out of the shadows of the Gotham underworld to recreate himself in the eyes of the public to make him appear a lot more legitimate than he is.

hard counter posted:I actually stuck it out this long since I was hoping they'd roll a measure more the other way come season 2. The tone, which I didn't mind, was probably too light to swing it late to gotham noir though Same. I actually liked the balance the first season struck between camp/nonsense vs dark realism (or whatever). A crazy nutjob would show up and Gordon would shut him down, because of course someone killing with weather balloons is gonna get caught. The real threat was organized crime and corruption, which makes sense,. We got to see lots of detective work from Bruce, which is great because Batman is the world's greatest detective and his intelligence has been generally underplayed in the films (also we can't have Bruce training as ninja just yet, so developing his investigative skills sets the Batman groundwork in a believable way). We got a hint of the joker with Jerome and it was loving perfect. This season, so far, we got a gang of mentally hosed delinquents taking over the police station, and what one would assume is a heavily-guarded benefit gala with Gotham's richest, like it was no thing. The writers blew their load with Jerome and we're left with a boring old-money dude as the main villain because something something 200 year grudge against the Waynes that no ones cares about. This is a painfully weak plot and except for Jerome the acting just isn't where it was last season - the Dons, the organ-farm staff (Weyoun!), Milo Ventimiglia channeling Patrick Bateman, etc... they were all pretty drat great. Frankly, S2 is starting to give me a "Smallville" vibe and there is no loving way I'm going down that rabbit hole of disappointment again. (who am I kidding I probably will)

My DVR cut the recording too quickly, so I only got a brief glimpse into one of the little side rooms in St. Satan's Horrorspital Experimental Ward. Pretty good episode. I thought the mallet-hand was a nice touch. But riddle me this: how long will it be before they notice Kris Kringle is missing and was last known to be eating dinner at Nigma's apartment? Or did he learn from his mistake, and he's going to buy some time with a Weekend at Bernie's routine?

Bruceski posted:Not sure, but I think I saw Freeze. I think you saw the same thing as he did, and it could be Bane or Freeze. That was stupidly brutal, seeing a teenage girl catch on fire and scream in pain. There's no way Butch is leading Penguin into a trap. The only thing I am not liking is how perfect Gallivant is, he hasn't slipped up, left any evidence or anything that would lead Gordon to him. Well, save Penguin, but they've really got him over a barrel with his mother.

I mean, come on, last cut is of whatsername strangling him half to death (he's way better at taking a strangling than Kris Kringle, jeez) and then he shows up at Penguin's saying "I dunno, I escaped somehow and I accomplished the thing I hadn't accomplished before getting my rear end beat." Maybe Galavan showed him Penguin's mom and let him go on purpose, but there's no way that went down like Butch said.

ShakeZula posted:Plus he wasn't doing his little head twitch mind control indicator, which they had really been ramping up in the past few episodes. Correct. And not only this, but to me, it was conspicuous that Penguin didn't give Butch any loyalty test when he returned toward the end of the episode. He'd been doing that a lot lately, too, and in this situation that could pretty obviously be a trap, no loyalty test?

That scene with the death of Miss Kringle was horrifying and sad. I wonder if THAT is what leads him to come out publicly as a villain, as The Riddler, or if he stays all fragmented and weird, working from the inside to gently caress over the system.

Selina holds Lee at gunpoint and all they do is make small talk. Also Gordon is so used to this poo poo the first thing he does when he comes home to find his girlfriend held at gunpoint is go for the fridge to get a beer.

Phenotype posted:There's no way Butch isn't leading Penguin into a trap. Ah poo poo, I meant to type Isn't as well. Serves me right to post from my phone. And yea, he clearly was not right, more not right than normal. I was confused at Kringle's death though, it looked like she just died suddenly, I thought maybe Ed had hit her head against the door to hard and snapped her neck or something. I do like how she actually reacted the right way to him standing around outside her place, because no matter the reason, its loving creepy.

I kept wondering why Indian Hill sounded so familiar, and then I remembered I just finished re-reading Garth Ennis' Hitman the other week. In the book, there is a laboratory just outside Gotham where strange human experiments are performed which regularly go horribly wrong and require the protagonists to get hired as cleanup crew. The name of the facility? Injun Peak. (Man, if Tommy Monaghan showed up in the show I'd be so insanely happy. Heck, just mention The Cauldron as a slum area one time. Please, writers?)

Considering how the chances of bring murdered by some random nutbar in Gotham is around 30%, if Ed says "She left my place after we had a fight" and she turns up in a ditch somewhere, then people won't think about him as suspect. Until he lets something slip. Do you think there is a reason behind burning down Wayne owned buildings by Gallivant or is it just pure "gently caress you Waynes". Also I'm sure the xmas break cliffhanger is going to be Bruce captured by Gallivant and needing to Batman his way out of it with everything he's learned from Alfred and Selina.

Nygma can just plant dude's badge near her corpse. A tidy little package and everyone employed by the GCPD will accept it because the three competent officers and their boss are out chasing down freaks.
