    If only it were like this every week

    After an erratic period, Gotham started picking up, and did almost everything right in this one. The crime-of-the-week section is unusually entertaining, Fish Mooney's new plot line is in full swing, Selena is back, Penguin is always entertaining, and I like the ME's Nancy Drew tendencies.

    I fell way behind on this show when some weak episodes made me lose interest, but after watching this one I immediately watched one more (that one was also quite fun, although not quite as fun as this one). Since the previous episode was also pretty solid, I'm hoping that things are back on track. This is what the series needs to be every week.

    Why...so...seriously awesome?

    Oh my god, yes! Finally. Things are really looking up. As the trailer shows (so this really shouldn't count as a spoiler, but if IMDb puts me on the blacklist then whatever,) Bruce finally steps into the next level but is still far behind becoming the Batman, Fish Mooney- well, honestly I don't really care for Fish. I mean, Jada is very talented and very pretty but Mooney is not a very impressive villain. The only thing that I like about her is she reminds me of Ertha Kitt as Catwoman. They both share the same level of overthetop evil. And I like the idea that a female crime boss has sort of taken over Gotham for a change. Women are power too, ya know. But honestly, for me, the greatest thing to ever happen in this episode is...wait for it...drum roll, please...even though you can't really hear it...are you ready? The birth of the JOKER! Yes! Joker is finally here. And I am so happy to see him make an appearance on this show instead of being an easter egg. The guy playing him looks like a Joker but it kind of looks like he's trying to be Jack Nicholson's Joker but Joker nonetheless. And it sounds like he's gotten the laugh right. Please, let him become a big part in the show like Penquin and Riddler. Please!

      James Gordon: Why did you kill your mother, Jerome?

      Jerome Valeska: Oh, you know how mothers are. She just... kept... pushing. And I'm like, "Fine, Mom. Be a whore. Be a drunken whore even. But don't be a *nagging*, drunken whore." You know? "Don't come yell at me to do the dishes if you've been banging a clown in the next room!"
