Its been six months since the supervillains escaped from Indian Hill and things are not going well for Gotham. This season is supposed to have less out and out police work as Gordon still hasn't rejoined the GCPD and instead is working as a bounty hunter, hired to track down the escapees. Other things teased, more Court of Owls, the return of Bruce's doppelganger and more of Jerome's Joker cult. There was talk in between seasons of recasting Ivy Pepper and according to previews how it's going to be handled will be an ongoing thing. They aren't just changing out the actress and pretending nobody notices. Added to the cast this year is Jamie Chung as Valerie Vale and Benedict Samuel as Jervis Tetch (aka the Mad Hatter.) From commercials it looks like everybody is back, including BD Wong's Hugo Strange.

Sad about that Lee send-off. Think that means she's off the show this season, since Lucius took up the mantle at the GCPD?

Still, Jamie Chung is killing it as Valerie Vale. I don't know if I'm seeing sparks of contention between her and Gordon or if another romantic interest is coming into play.

I'm not sure what they're doing with Lee. She only got written off in the first place last season because she really was pregnant so you'd think they would want to bring her back now that's all over with.

One of the biggest things about the show is that Jim simply cannot actually succeed in cleaning anything up or there wouldn't be the need for a Batman in the first place. So he basically has to fail.

Oof, that's a bad bald cap on BD Wong. It wasn't great before but just in that scene you could clearly see the seam.

I thought Fish was okay in the first season, even though her entire story ended up becoming completely disconnected from everything. I absolutely hated her stuff in the end of last season because it mainly consisted of "Fish gets her way for no reason." This season has been kind of whatever, hopefully the end of this week's episode means she's gone for a while.

He's probably going to be the TV show version of Talon, aka the Court of Owls' Batman.

So who wants to bet that they're leveraging Alice's blood into Venom?

Also it's funny how David Mazouz keeps getting taller and taller (he's almost as tall as Donal Logue and definitely taller than Ben McKenzie.) By season 5 every scene with Bruce is just a torso and some legs because they can't get him into the shot.

Personally I don't really care because original Ivy was barely a character. Although sexing the character up is pretty creepy seeing as she's just physically aged.

Also she's barely appeared so this might be a Montoya/Allen/Dent thing where they cast a person for the role and then never actually do anything with it.

I watch it on an antenna and for some reason my Fox feed can be really bad. So sometimes I have to catch it on Hulu the next day.

I don't think there's a connection because Miss Kringle was stuffed in a box and buried in the woods, which would kind of ruin the chances of harvesting her face.

If the car accident killed her the most likely explanation is probably that she was just a woman who looked like her. If she survives I can see them going with it being Butch taking a play from Fish, who did pretty much the exact same thing in the first season.

For Penguin's outfit, the coat was cool but I really liked his tie.

It is a joke, because he was basically saying the same thing as Mr. A.

Edit: Also I looked it up and Steve Ditko straight up owns Mr. A. Also Steve Ditko is still alive apparently.

Here's something I'm wondering, is Gotham the most violent show on Network TV? People are regularly killed in pretty gruesome ways and there has also been quite a lot of gore.

It's definitely what happened because those were the same effects as when Barnes was raging out. Also he seems to know about it because when Lee mentioned a test he got all shifty.

The actor playing the morgue guy was also one of Joker's lieutenants in the Dark Knight. And now he's playing a disciple/henchman of Proto-Joker again. What a strange and very specific thing to be typecast as.

Yeah, that was kind of goofy.

Interesting to see that Clayface is apparently sticking around seeing as how over the top his power is.
