    Thank God the Mad Hatter story arc is finished. What an awful run of episodes! Hopefully, the Court of Owls stuff kicks in now and we get a decent run of episodes.

    I can't remember, but what was the reason for the plaster on the back of Mario's neck? It seemed like something Jim would recognise if he saw it

    Gotham has to be the wackiest dark show I've ever watched. Some of the violence is just disconcerting especially in today's episode.

    My main problem with the show is not the weak plots and dialogue. It's the acting!

    I would say only Donal Logue and the butler are convincing.

    I dont think you can carry off a show like this, with its wacky storylines, without an element of hamminess. For me it adds to the comedy aspect...like the Penguin showing up with a bazooka. If it tried to take itself too seriously, it would probably come across as ridiculous.

    Its like the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. By unashamedly hamming, it allowed them to get away with stuff nobody else was doing.

    I think the acting is decent to fine, as in the central cast have either been consistent or have at least demonstrated ability at one point or another.

    It's the inconsistent writing that hurts the show above all else.

    i have to respect Gotham bringing attention to the cops "shoot first, ask questions later" policy. Seriously how is Gordon still a cop??

    Gotham is grand for what it is - a fantasy crime-drama.
    I find it entertaining anyway.

    It's best not to over-analyse it like this!!

    https://www.wired.com/2016/11/no-bruce-wayne-thats-not-tightropes-work/

    Is there a mid-season break or another episode next week?

    That storyline was getting like a borderline bad soap opera but thankfully they offed Mario in the same episode where he was making his cringey threats towards Gordon.

    Falcone's reaction to his son's death after Gordon's promise, Penguin fighting an assault from all fronts and Owls should set up a strong 2nd half of the season.

    Not really the proper midseason finale, as there's still 3 more episodes in the "Mad City"-subtitle arc (first 14 episodes of the third season).

    January 16th: S3E12 - Ghosts
    January 23rd: S3E13 - TBA
    January 30th: S3E14 - TBA (end of "Mad City"-subtitle arc, won't return until late March/April for final 8 episodes of the season, with a new subtitle for those episodes).

    Starts back on Monday next the 16th for 3 weeks then breaks again for the guts of 3 months and will return Monday, April 24 at 8pm in the States for the last 8 episodes.

    Same thing happening with Lucifer, back for three episodes and then not back until May 1 ,complete waste of time. 24 Legacy and a new show called APB will take over these time slots during the three months.

    The new shows have a better chance at good ratings and getting renewed, doing it this way, than at the end of the Sep-May TV season. If they let Gotham and Lucifer run straight from now and finished in March/April, then launched the new shows, they would most likely get cancelled. Of course, the new shows could still have bad ratings in Feb/March and get cancelled anyway.

    Oh I agree about putting new shows on in between the season of other shows but I find it pointless bringing Gotham and Lucifer back just for 3 episodes and then taking 3 month break. They could have started the new shows at the start of January or late December and then air the second part of Lucifer and Gotham's seasons in March/April.

    The fact that Penguin is in love with Nygma? What's black and white and green all over? A Penguin getting stuck in a Riddle.

    Another terrible episode I really don't know why I stick with this the only kind of saving grace was the ending but they will fcuk that up over the next two episodes no doubt.

    Is Lee now going to become this seasons Barbara the way she switched sides so quickly.

    I think when this arc ends in 2 weeks the 3 month break might be the final straw for me.
