Enigma asks if he should run all the prints as he pulls the winner’s thumb out of the dead man’s mouth.
Gotham: When Harvey Was a Hero (Recap/Review)
In this week’s episode of Gotham: The Spirit of the Goat Harvey remembers when he was a hero “back in the day” and the death of Randall Milkie. Viewers learn that when he was much younger Bullock was another version of James Gordon, his new partner. It is only when the two detectives go to talk to Harvey’s old partner that Jim learns of Bullock’s younger “white knight” tendencies. When the two men speak to the wheelchair bound Detective Dix, he tells Gordon to watch out for Harvey as he is a loose cannon and the future commissioner asks who Dix is referring to.
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.
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.
Gotham: Selina Kyle (Recap and Review)
The second episode of Gotham: Selina Kyle started with street kids being approached by a kindly couple, played by Lili Taylor and Frank Whaley, who are handing out food and sweets in the name of the major. As each child goes to collect, the woman sticks them in the back of the neck with an oversized hat pin and they collapse immediately except for one boy who runs and Selina Kyle, who does not go near the man and woman. Across town, Bruce Wayne is caught by Alfred burning his hand on a candle. The butler gets angry and then hugs the boy telling him that everything will be alright.
