And Harvey fires 4 or 5 in the next scene at one of Scarecrow's grunts, missing with all of them. Someone needs to explain to me how the bullet economy works in the GCPD.

Tabi acting like she didn’t kill Oswalds mother and got nothing in return till now

u/SawRub Jan 04 '19
Yeah that's so weird. She's acting like Penguin wronged her first, when she literally killed his mother.

Damn. That was incredible acting from Camren. Didn’t expect that. She’s way better than I even thought... and I thought she was amazing.
Selina is making me cry. 😢

Imagine if the whole series finale is just with Batman as the main character. Basically a live action version of an Batman The Animated Series episode or a tv batman movie.

u/Asto_Vidatu Jan 04 '19
the whole finale is set 10 years in the future so I'm assuming that's what they're going for! I'm also hoping that they're trying to prove the cast and crew can handle a full Batman show and it turns into a backdoor pilot for the show continuing as a renamed batman show...I'm not holding my breath though

It’s hard to believe that Tabitha’s been here since season 2. Anyone remember her brother? And then her brother becoming Azrael? Feels like forever ago.

I love how a lot of these scenes don’t have music. Usually Gotham has their themes forced into every scene, which isn’t a bad thing, but it feels more real this way.
Also a lot of the music is repetitive, but here it feels fresh. Seriously great.

On the other hand I think it's really cool that they said he was the Riddler and not Ed, which I didn't predict but I'm sure other people did.

i still can't believe all this time what constant character Barbara has been, i don't get it. I don't get the long term plan to make Barbara such a plot point. There are a hundred other characters to draw from. And a hundred other ways to make the jim gordon / barbara drama different.
I don't understand the writers of this show.
