Aside from Jim inexplicably deciding he needs to save Falcone when there hasn't been any indication up until this point that he believes Falcone is essential to Gotham's survival and aside from Falcone inexplicably deciding to retire out of nowhere, I wasn't too disappointed with this episode. I think the reason I enjoyed the episode is it finally did something I've been whining about since this show began: They did something unexpected. They killed off one of the mob bosses, made the other retire, and turned Barbara into a psychopath. They finally did a couple things that pushed beyond the bounds of the established Batman universe which gives me a tiny bit of optimism going into the second season.
If they'refinallygoing to start doing something interesting and different with the content they've been handed, then perhaps I'll continue to watch.

You missed the "2 weeks later" tag after that scene. Not that it makes it any less ridiculous for Fish and co. to raid the Mad Max set within that time period, but it makes itslightlyless ridiculous.
I think they are starting to ease up on the Batman thing since Bruce will discover the cave this season.
Cameron makes an amazing young joker. Can't wait for that arc

Worse by far. Daredevil is awesome, and Gotham was just bad. The only good thing about Gotham is the guy who plays the Riddler.
Better. Will be curious how S2 develops, as there was a lot of villain-of-the-weeks but some cool story telling too. Also, no more Fish Moony

I'd imagine this is not going to be the majority opinion on this board. I liked Daredevil a lot better personally and really didn't like this show all that much. Will probably try this next season because I WANT it to be good.

not many here loved it, it was absolutely terrible at times. my biggest problem was fish mooney and how hokey it all was. if they can rein in the camp and there is no Fish in the cast then i am willing to give it a second chance. i really liked alfred and bullock, selena was decent too. i also love me some michael chiklis. plus, if they are really doing the Joker subplot justice then this may actually be really good
Daredevil was great, but personally I like the Gotham atmosphere better apart from Fish. Seeing what they were able to do with 1 season of the Flash, I really hope they push the envelope and make it comparable. They don't have to be slow as balls in part, with Penguin now higher up & Barbara batshit crazy it should make for interested TV, not to mention Gordon getting the respect of the department and taking over.

I abandoned ship towards the end of S1 did they actually kill off Fish or are people just praying
I watched the whole of season one and I couldn't tell you what happened in the last episode.
I was just glad it was over.

Penguin threw her ass off a roof after she killed the Don, doesn't show the body but iirc she said in an interview she wouldn't be in s2 so could go either way.
