I guess she didn't pull the trigger and roll the dice with that cat luck the guy behind her fired an empty chamber? She reached back and put her finger under the hammer of the gun that was to her head so it couldn't fire The last two episodes have been disappointing and I feel like the biggest problem is editing. Selena walking out and then suddenly being on the roof in full Catwoman gear and then strolling back in and being all HI BRUCE is one example It feels like they actually made a full season and then had to cram the footage into half as many episodes or something.

I took the weird cut from rooftop in gear to the hospital as a transition of time. It was super clumsy way to imply that after she ate the magic jellybean pulled from the ground she's been going out at night living that cat woman lifestyle. Now where she got a new leather outfit equipped with razor sharp nails and a whip in that hospital is the REAL question. Also, Gordon in that same drat suit for what should be around 100 days now is super great. hatelull fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jan 18, 2019 |

I was expecting it, yet was still disappointed that this Harley continues the odd trend of barely making her look like an actual harlequin. The Animated Series got it perfect right off the bat. Also Selena hissing was both hilarious and one of the dumbest small moments to come from the show.

I liked the Penguin Corporate Loyalty song. Very Majima Construction. Man for a second I was wondering why enemies from Final Fight were in the show, then the leader said Slicer Dicer and I was "Oh wait Mutants!". twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Jan 22, 2019 |

The guy who plays Zsasz is such a smartass; one of the best antagonists throughout the entirety of the show.

One thing that I liked was seeing Zsasz displaying an emotion besides "Smartass." He's always hypercompetent and never afraid of anything... until this episode, where I saw that veneer of confidence wear a little thin. He looked worried in a scene or two. I don't think he ever has been worried on camera before. It kind-of gives a little depth to how bad things are in Gotham.

I realise it's entirely in-character for him, but Jim being so insistent on not letting Zsasz be executed because he didn't commit these particular murders - even though he definitely did commit a whole lot of other murders - was pretty dumb. I would have liked Penguin to point that out. Like, accept the evidence that it couldn't have been Zsasz and just put it to the crowd that even if he didn't do this specific crime he's still an unrepentant serial killer. I don't think Zsasz would even have denied that since it's pretty widely known.

Executing people for crimes they didn't commit is pretty hosed up, and Jim knows it would start them on a very slippery slope.

Maybe the death penalty isn't allowed in whatever state Gotham is in. Semi-joking aside, I'm surprised Penguin didn't bring up all of Zsasz's other murders either. On a somewhat related note, I was surprised that Zsasz brought up his scars again since I don't think they got referenced at all since we saw him cut himself that one time way back when he first appeared.

I hope that every remaining episode features Penguin and Jim coming to another uneasy agreement before one of them immediately breaks it, because their relationship is my favourite part of the show

I don't think Zsasz would even have denied that since it's pretty widely known. Well, like you said, it's in-character for Jim to do exactly what he did... and that's why it happened. Almost anyone following this show would notice how out-of-character it would be for Jim to do anything other than what he did, and we'd all be arguing about whether Jim was a clone from Indian Hill, under some kind of mind control, or if a computer scientist made some red gothamite and gave it to him. There's an in-universe reason why they didn't have Jim let the execution go on, and I don't know if anyone has touched on this yet: Penguin was trying to take over leadership of Jim's sector. The people want justice for what happened to their loved ones, and here's Penguin with a certified, card-carrying bad guy to blame. The line between justice and revenge is never as thick and well-defined as we'd like it to be, and in the world of Gotham, it's all but vanished. So, Penguin riles them up against Zsasz, and if he executes him to the crowd's fervent approval, then their allegiance will go from Jim to Penguin. It's a classic dictator move, really. For Penguin, having loyal followers is extremely important, because he wants power and that's how he defines power. He might have thought that Zsasz bombed the building, but he wasn't sure, and he certainly didn't care if Zsasz really did it--he had an axe to grind with Zsasz and with Jim, and doing so in front of a properly motivated crowd would kill both of those stones with one bird. Penguin's motive was 75% power play and 25% personal vendetta. And it partially worked: in the end, Zsasz lived, but Penguin did snag some of Jim's population.

I'm sure curious where Zsasz got fast food. He totally had a big glup there.

You know we're half was through the season but we have no idea who the Russian guys are that are attacking, i figured by now we'd of had a hint of who they are. I assume they're Russians becuase they had BMPs

I watched the episode with captions and saw that they named the woman Gordon is talking to on the radio Walker. A quick Google search shows that Jim's nemesis this season is supposed to be someone named Teresa Walker. So I guess he's not really talking to the government or the government is actively trying to destroy Gotham.

Did the flash forward at the beginning of this season feature the main players (including Nygma) loading up to face off against some unseen horde? Not sure how they're going to walk back the high body count of that building. Nygma was never really the mass destruction guy in the comics was he?
