Gotham: Viper Penguin Makes a New Friend

In Gotham this week a new drug hits the streets called Viper and while Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock try to find the source, Penguin, aka Oswald Cobblepot makes a new friend in Sal Maroni who believes that Falcone was the one who stole his money in the Cobblepot orchestrated robbery. As origins stories go, Gotham is fairly entertaining. Just in the female stakes alone, this FOX series has not only Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers, The Last House on the Left) but Jada Pinkett Smith (Hawthorne, Collateral) as well. Although Paxton’s character was not in this episode.

Gotham Arkham: Old Friends

This week’s episode of Gotham, titled Arkham looks to be about the asylum but it is more about old friends. Like Oswald Cobblepot who turns up on Jim Gordon’s doorstep. The episode could also be about human resources being murder…literally. In Gotham, one councilman gets the point and things are heating up for another unfortunate councilman and Fish Mooney proves that she is the hardest talent judge in the world, making Simon Cowell look like Mary Poppins in comparison.
