The titles of these episodes have ceased to mean anything. They could call an episode “Moneyball Squares” and it would be just as effective as “Mad Grey Dawn.” (Yes, I know it’s the name of the painting Riddler steals. It still doesn’t mean anything.)
Instead of my typical rage gif, please enjoy the song that has been stuck in my head for the past week:
Guys. GUYS. This episode was the most insane, bonkers, off-the-wall, batshit crazy episode that this show has ever produced. I’m not exaggerating when I say this. I spent the majority of this episode yelling “WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW???” at my TV. This episode was so nuts that it outdid all the other crazy ass moments that have come before. Moments such as:
Gotham:
Last Gotham review of the year. I’m keeping this one short because, I mean…GOTHAM. Do I have to say anything else?
Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Americans! Let’s celebrate by gathering around the table, stuffing ourselves with food, and reminding ourselves why we refuse to discuss politics with anyone who isn’t hidden behind a computer screen.
My review is late for a variety of reasons, none of which are interesting enough to go into here. Instead, enjoy this amazing picture of whatever the fuck this thing is that I found today at a Goodwill.
I’m so sad I didn’t buy it.
The TL, DR version of my review/recap:
After burning through Jerome, the Riddler becoming the Riddler, and the Penguin/Galavan conflict in less than half a season, Gotham is all
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.
