Season premiere: Gotham – 2016/17

The PolyBlog
September 20 2016

Season 2 of Gotham last year was sub-titled in part as “rise of the villains”, and rise they did. By the end though it was all about Indian Hill and Dr. Hugo Strange. Finally, in an attempt to save many from a large explosion, Gordon stopped a bomb from going off but Fish Mooney managed to escape with a busload of X-men. No, meteor freaks. No, meta humans. Well, whatever we call them, they’re the results of Strange’s experiments.

I confess I was not thrilled to see Fish Mooney back. Call me Jada-ed (see what I did there?), but it is painful most of the time with her over the top acting and one-dimensional character. There is a small but loyal Gotham fanbase who were thrilled when her character seemed to be killed off, and yet like bedbugs, it’s hard to eradicate her character.

But she was in the first episode, and well, she didn’t suck. I don’t want to watch her but if the rest of the season’s shows stuck to the same level of her involvement, I’d be okay with it.

Gordon is okay as the past-wronged, now enjoying his freedom, ex-cop turned bounty hunter. Still enjoyable. Selina is working with Fish and causing trouble, but even she is having her own trouble adapting. Bruce left town after the Indian Hill and has just returned with stunning accusations to the Board at Wayne Enterprises that there is a cabal among them that is corrupt. Lots of little threads to kick off the season.

But I think I liked the interactions between Riddler and Penguin the best. Still fun, still enjoyable. Love Edward Nigma. Even if he’s nuts.

Series premiere: Gotham

The PolyBlog
September 21 2015

Fox has launched its new season, and one of the first out of the gate is Gotham. When we left off, Bruce had just found the entrance to a secret lair of his Dad’s; Barbara had gone bat-guano crazy; Jim and Lee were hitting it off, but Jim was going head-to-head with just about everyone else; and the Penguin was dumping Fish Mooney back in the sea. The new season was all about power shifts in Gotham, and we’re back to the same theme of Season 1 really quickly — will Gordon do a bad thing in order to achieve … Continue reading →

    I occasionally like to share online articles that I like, and you’ll see sporadic posts entitled “Articles I Like” throughout the blog. But honestly, Curated is probably a more accurate title. I recently found an article by Benjamin Schaefer on the website Electric Literature, although I was led there by ThePassiveVoice website. The article is … Continue reading →
  • Schrodinger’s computer purge (part 1 / 3)January 15, 2023
    So, I’m a techno-wannabe-geek with elements of hoarding in my DNA. I find it hard to dispose of working computer parts, long after I’ve outgrown the need for them. Some “saves” are practical and some are not. And like Schrodinger’s cat, my computer purge is both real and theoretical at the same time. A. Network … Continue reading →

Let me be clear. He … Continue reading →
