Guess what’s back! That’s right, after an extended hiatus this ball of insanity disguised as a television show has returned. Are you excited?

Me either.

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.
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.”
