GU31 – S2E9 – A Bitter Pill To Swallow

GU31 – S2E9 – A Bitter Pill To Swallow

“A Bitter Pill To Swallow” is all about people accepting hard facts that they are not ready to come to grips with. Gotham provides bitter pills to Jim Gordon, Penguin, Tabitha, Bruce and more. They are forced to by circumstances and people to make big changes.  This episode of Gotham was dark and violent but the story and the actors shone like beacons.

The past few weeks, we have discussed on the podcast, how the story has focused on one of our main characters.  We’ve spoken about how the writers have challenged the actors and actresses to new levels and how they have stepped up because of it.  This season is like a collected graphic novel with the storyline “Rise of the Villains.”  But but in this episode we saw multiple characters shine.  In my (Geoff) mind, this season could be called “Rise of Gotham.” Read more…

GU30 – S2E8 – Tonight’s The Night

GU30 – S2E8 – Tonight’s The Night

For weeks we have seen the chess master, Theo, carefully planning and making small moves, but Tonight’s The Night for some big moves.  The question is who will be left on the board when the evening is over?  Did his gambit with Barbara and Bruce go as planned?  Did he really count on Bruce giving that answer?  Oh so much to discuss!

GU29 – S2E7 – Mommy’s Little Monster

GU29 – S2E7 – Mommy’s Little Monster

Mommy’s Little Monster shows the depth that Penguin will go to in order to find vengeance for his mother.  Theo is still the chess master and several steps ahead of Penguin, and everyone else.  Penguin knows Theo has an endgame and plans a smart attack on Theo.  In the end, He waddles away wounded and still hungry for revenge.  Penguin may be mommy’s little monster but he is not the only monster revealed this week.

GU28 – S2E06 – By Fire

GU28 – S2E06 – By Fire

This week’s episode title was “By Fire.”  Our heroes underwent a trial by fire and our villains/anti-heroes underwent a baptism by fire.  Fire forged Firefly, Catwoman, Penguin & Riddler’s character but not in good ways.  Bruce is being trained by Alfred but it is clear he is not ready yet and Theo seems poised to strike.  Jim is burning with rage over Garrett’s death.  Who will be left when the fire is gone?  Read more…

GU27 – S2E5 – Scarification

GU27 – S2E5 – Scarification

In the movie “The Dark Knight,” the Joker asks “You wanna know how I got theses scars?”  It seems like no one in Gotham is immune to scarification.  Some are scarred physically, some scarred mentally and many scarred both ways.  Burns, lost hands, lost eyes, and mental scar-tissue are all dealt out in the process of getting a knife.  It seems fitting, doesn’t it!  Read more…

GU26 – S2E4 – Strike Force

GU26 – S2E4 – Strike Force

There is a new leader in the GCPD.  Captain Barnes was a Marine and he is taking no slack.  He fires the most corrupt of the group and sends a message to the rest.  No quarter for corruption or slacking.  He makes Jim his number 2 and the two recruit a fresh crop of academy recruits.  They form Barnes’ Unit Alpha of the GCPD Strike Force.  Theo is still the chess master and has made Penguin his pawn.  He has plans for Bruce as well.  It looks like Gotham will need a Strike Force to combat the coming storm. Join Karen & Geoff as they discuss it all!Read More…
