Review: Gotham – The Scarecrow

 

This week’s episode more or less picks up where last week’s episode left off. Gordon and Bullock are still hot on the heels of a man murdering phobics and stealing their adrenal glands for reasons unknown (and in ways I can only imagine totally hold up to real-world science).

Gotham‘s strong suit has not always been its villains of the week, but for a second time, it decided to stretch out a villain, Gerald Crane, for a second episode, and as a whole, was stronger for it.

Review – Gotham: Welcome Back, Jim Gordon

When Gotham went on mid-season break, we were teased with the idea of Gordon being a prison guard at Arkham as the new status quo of the series. Instead, it turned out to really only last for about an episode an a half.

This week was all about reintroducing Gordon back into the GCPD, as the title suggests. I don’t know if we needed an entire episode to reinforce the idea that Gordon is the straight arrow in the department, what with that sort of being the entire premise of the show, but that’s what we got.
