  Throwing in Harvey adds to the problems I have.
  Oh look its another well known character who won't get to do much cause he won't be Two-Face until we get Batman and we are never going to get Batman in this show.
  
  Smallville had it's "No tights. No flights" rule (for Clark - Kara could fly all she wanted) and it did lots of nods to Superman mythos without doing stuff about it.
  Gotham just seems to be taking everything it can and throwing it all in but not having Batman. It's just... off.

  Couldnt agree with you more thisscotsman. Although the teaser for the next episode does appear to show him having two sides to his personality. Teaser does appear to show him losing the plot a bit. Ahh, Smallville. Damn i miss that show. One of my faves that i still need to purchase in its entirety. Smallville did do things so much better than Gotham.

  I am, pleasantly, missing all promos for shows that I watch.
  It's so much nicer going into the episode with no idea what is going to happen.
  
  I'm not a big Superman fan but I had soo many issues with Smallville. It was perfectly watchable (at times) but at times I remember just yelling at the tv over all the stupidity.

  I cant speak for any all Smallvilles flaws as i was kinda late too the show, season 8 i began watching if memory serves. Despte its flaws it was so damn entertaining pus Laura Vandervoort as Supergirl, damn she was / is fine. I need to purchase the boxset of all seasons at some point. I have not watched Gotham yet this week, hope too get round too that tommorow (oh hang on, it is tommorow, is that the time lol).

  Laura Vandervoort was fantastic but is part of my problem. She turned up and then she got soo little time.
  She was there for a season and then pretty much disappeared off into the negative zone.
  
  And then there was Allison Mack and Erica Durance. Ahh that show did have it's reasons to watch.

  There's characters in Gotham I'm enjoying - Gordon and Bullock as a partnership I'm liking.
  I'm not sure how much I'm liking Fish.
  
  And I'm not sure about Penguin. The guy playing his is great and I like what the character is doing but I'm just not sure about Penguin in the show in general.

  I know they want to unfold the story and the universe of the Caped Crusader, but why did they feel the need to rush things by overcrowding the first chapter of Gotham with introductions and subplots? It was so inconsistent and left much to be desired.

• RE: Gotham

  thisscotsman > 12/12/2014, 22:05

  Agree on the inconsistency.
  The introductions I can appreciate just because they need to throw a lot of characters in there. Although I do think they could maybe have held some back. For instance I don't think Harvey is really doing much at the moment, and the Riddler role is currently pathetic.

  This program would improve quite a bit if they got rid of fish mooney (poor actress in an unneccesary role), the Gordon/Bullock partnership is interesting as is the young Penguin. And is it just me or did Selina always come off as too clean to pass as living on the streets? She's supposed to live rough yet her clothes are immaculately clean, and her hair looks like it's just been done every scene (the little details would sell that better I think, or that might just be me being pedantic).

  After watching the pre christmas mid season finale im still unsure about the show. That Ivy, despite not having much screen time, strikes me as one creepy kid lol. I was entertained by one thing in the most recent episode, Alfreds antics. Any critiscism i had of him in Gotham i now retract, he was a proper badass in this episode. You a not being pedantic, jesslloydfan, when it comes to Selinas apperance. Have gotta admit i didnt give that a second thought before but now you have pointed it out.

  Agree with the change in emphasis wrt Alfred. His actions in the last episode are more like what I would expect a character played by Sean Pertwee to do, and it does correlate with one of the (many) theories that Bruce could not have learned his combat skills without some input from Alfred. Also with you about Selina, while the actress is doing an Ok job, she should still be more gritty and grimey as someone on the streets would be. Was actually a bit disappointed in Harvey Dent's character, it feels too soon to introduce him.
