At this point in the season, Gotham should have started to tie itself all together. Instead its several unrelated plots that MAYBE clash into each other.
And *please* get rid of Barbara. She comes home to find two kids in her house and she just starts talking "and who are you guys?" UGH.
This show has so much potential to be good and it just fails at every chance it gets.
The only thing it has got right consistently is some of the actors (penguin, fish when she's standing on the man as a podium), and the art style of gotham itself.
Gotham is entertainingly bad though. It's cheese filled with more cheese, and once in a while you get a solid and almost crunchy bite of breaded and meat.
Barbara needs to go though for real. The show was so much better when she wasn't around. And Morena Baccarin is SO DAMN CUTE. Long hair (firefly) Short hair (V) and somewhere in between (Homeland & Gotham), it all works on her. she just does it for me. Barbara is a major downgrade in both looks and character.
Barbara is such a pathetic character, that upon finding 2 dirty street rats squatting in her penthouse, she decided to hang out with them, take Man advice from them and then proceed to do a fashion show for them thinking that they would know better how to seduce her ex-bf better than she would (and they were right, but that's besides the point). It only gets worse when she got "Radioactive'd" in the GCPD locker room. I can only imagine how much lower Barbara can go as character.
still so much better than S3 of Arrow so far though.
(I think I've expressed enough thought on that show so far)
but honestly, The Flash is currently shaming all airing comicbook shows atm.
Explaining the the different effects that time travel might have by referencing movies that used time travel differently, just saved them 5 minutes of audience losing science jargon, and instead created an instant understanding as to what they were talking about. Very smart.
Cisco with the commentary "Dude, that was like week 3....."
the pace of the show and direction they are taking, is definitely setting up The Flash to be the S1 comic show to beat so far. [edit: Can I also just add that the special FX have been surprisingly good for the most part considering the channel and the suspected budget of the show. very impressive. most other shows should be embarrassed after seeing what the CW is able to accomplish with such a small budget.]
Agent Carter has also gotten more interesting in the last 3 episodes as well. Last episode was pretty good, and next episode should be the best yet. Ratings have also taken an uptick, mostly in post live viewings, but a 2nd season isn't a certain thing, so fingers crossed. Dottie (aka Black Widow) descending the stairs was pretty awesome, and the Carter dropping the truth on the "good 'ol boys" club of agents to their disbelief was pretty good as well. Still wondering how this all wraps into the One-Shot as the finale, but my guess is it won't be as clean cut as that. The One-shot being more of a summary of events in 10 minutes vs an accurate conclusion to the current depiction of events.
Constantine is done. I doubt there will be a 2nd season, and it just started to get kinda interesting in the last few eps, but I'm not invested in the show whatsoever, so I won't say that I'll miss it if it gone, not even sure I would continue to watch it should it come back. I was really hoping it would take the place of Supernatural in that type of show slot for me, but it won't.
and Agents of SHIELD returns in 2 weeks, so I also look forward to that. The Flash being on break for the 1st 3 weeks of it's return might help it get that #1 spot back, which should be pretty easy if the 2nd half is just as strong as the 1st. but The Flash has certainly tightened whatever gap there was between 1st and 2nd place on my list.
