Not only is the title of the episode the title of a Rod Stewart song, I feel the plot can be distilled into a gif. This gif:

At the top of each A.V. Club TV review they list a letter grade for the episode. They gave this episode a B-. I thought, “Am I too hard on this show? Am I expecting too much because I’m such a fan of the source material?” (Spoiler – Nope.)
Then I read the review. They gave it a B- because the episode had a coherent story with a beginning, middle, and end. For Gotham, that’s a big deal. The very basics of storytelling are present here and that earns this show a decent grade. And I get it – the A.V. Club reviewer is probably doing everything possible to prevent his brain from walking out the door.
I myself just spent 48 minutes on YouTube watching Nine Inch Nails videos so I wouldn’t have to rewatch this god forsaken shit show of a show.
Ok. Let’s do this.
io9 headline for the review of this episode:
RIGHT??????????

Yep, I’m still here. In for another week of Gotham madness.
The most I can say about my general feelings about the episode is: “meh.”

Hello. I apologize for the tardiness of this review. I just…couldn’t.
Let’s get this shit over with, shall we?

I don’t want to say that I’ve done this to myself, but…
Last week, I really liked the episode. This week, not so much. If only I’d kept up my Wall of Hate I wouldn’t be so disappointed now.

When will I learn that Gotham is a clusterfuck that only increases in fuckedupedness with each passing episode?
I’m not sure how to start this review. It’s difficult because…well, because I think I actually liked this episode.
I. LIKED. IT. Not “loved to hate it!” or whatever other obnoxious hipster crap I usually pull, I UNIRONICALLY LIKED THIS EPISODE.
What am I going to say? What am I going to do? DO I EXIST IF I AM NOT ACTIVELY BITCHING ABOUT TELEVISION? Am I fading away like Marty in Back to the Future before his nerdy dad kisses his mom at the Under the Sea dance????
