Gotham 4x02: A Liveblog

Well, it’s Friday morning, let’s go!

TL;Dr - Lucius is back! And nothing else matters!

Ohhh boy, it’s Scarecrow time. This should be good.

Awww, Harvey inviting Jim out on a date, good Harvey. Love you Harvey.

Wow, Jonathan, holy fuck... you’re... you’re clearly fine. You’re clearly... a-okay.

Also did your dad’s fear juice give you like super strength or something? You hauled a grown man onto that spike, how???

Meanwhile, Bruce is in jail. Good Job Bruce.

Jim’s here to be the Judgy Uncle

“We’ll talk more about this Bruce. But not tonight.” WOW, way to Disappointed Parent Jim

Also, why refuse to take bail from an actual billionaire? Holy shit. C’mon Jim, this place needs rebuilding every other week, you could USE that money

Burning files, that’s safe. That seems legal.

Estranged daddy Lucius! I still pet ship Lucius and Alfred as co-dads for Bruce X333

But also I’m just REALLY HAPPY to see Lucius Fox, holy shit!

Ahhhh, Gotham jumping on the It bandwagon, of course. How apropos

I must say tho, this fear sequence is shot beautifully, this is a really good way to describe what the fear juice does to you, good job show

Jonathan continues to be... fine. He’s fine.

Okay but... the IRONY in Harvey telling Jim to behave himself for Oswald and Jim pointedly refusing I... my my, how the turn tables.

I NEVER thought I’d see the day when Harvey would be brokering Jim and Oswald’s weird ass friendship

Ahhhh, see THAT’S the Harvey I know and love, mocking Penguin just for the fun of it, ahhhh, the good old days

Holy shiiiit, I think that’s the first time Oswald’s called Jim boyscout ^^; That’s Harvey’s thing what is the world COMING to? But clearly Oswald’s crush on Jim has moved beyond awe of him then into more of an outright rivalry, Oswald seems intent on locking horns with Jim these days, his admiration for him has tarnished. Probably because, you know, Jim is The Worst

Is the opportunity Zsasz? Oh god I HOPE IT’S ZSASZ! Would that I might see my baby twice in a row!

Oh... god. You’re not Zsasz.

So... unwelcome reunion with Barbara, dunno why she bothered to invite Selina, isn’t she only interested in Tabitha?

If it wasn’t for the fact that Babs is a canonical character who has to stick around to eventually marry Jim, I’d say just kill her ^^;

I see you have a sexy arsenal Babs, well done

Babs is a lot more restrained now, maybe she got some therapy ^^; wouldn’t that be nice? Actual therapy in Gotham

We’ll see how that whole thing plays out as we the audience know that Butch is not technically dead ^^;

But I miss him too Tabitha :c I miss him so freaking much

You’re So Good at making friends, Jim. Jesus, learn how to people

This is a weird time for Harvey to be saying no, mostly because this is eventually going to get undermined. Eventually, Jim will be proven to be in the right, Harvey will have to apologize for not believing him and that’s... that’s not what I want. Jim is WRONG, so much of the time, and he’s a DICK and Harvey DESERVES to righteously refuse him when Jim asks too much. Right now, Jim isn’t asking for too much, he’s taking an unpopular course, but... inevitably, Oswald’s plan will crumble, the GCPD will need to be reinstated as the authority, like... Jim will be right. And all this stand here will be is a mistake on Harvey’s part and that’s... really dumb, I don’t like that.

Just... this is DOUBLY worse because now it vindicates Jim’s feeling that he’s a lone wolf who ALONE has a sense of justice, who ALONE understands right and wrong and that is SO TOXIC for Jim’s personality. He becomes tyrannical and violent when he thinks like that. I just... this is all so fucking stupid and is done in service of Jim, and it’s UNNEEDED. We already KNOW all this shit about Jim, we’ve already seen this a dozen times. Harvey’s refusing Jim should have come at a time that MATTERED, not this bullshit, and it SHOULD have been done in the service of Harvey. Fuck this noise, I am NOT here to support Jim fucking Gordon and his vainglorious quest to be the most Holier-Than-Thou in all of Gotham. That just shoves Jim RIGHT back to where he started in the pilot, that’s not progress, that’s regression, and it ONLY makes Jim a monster, it DOESN’T elevate him, it DOESN’T make him more interesting. Holy fuck. LET. JIM. BE. WRONG. Stop having EVERY story line support Jim’s TERRIBLE decision, stop enabling him! Let him be wrong, let someone else be right, and let Jim SWALLOW IT. Let him be humbled! For fuck’s sake! Make Jim digest being wrong THAT is character development, THAT is redemption, THIS is bullshit.

And you’re punishing Harvey for no goddamn reason and undermining him, so fuck you. I know this is how Harvey always gets treated but... god damnit.

*siiiigh* Sorry guys, I’m just REALLY pissed about that. 

Meanwhile, actual Joker make up because LOL this is a show about Batman

Meanwhile meanwhile, Babs and Oswald... also Ivy??? and ZSASZ! are here! Zsasz who is now in a candy store of guns! 8DDDDDDDDD Oh my sweet baby, at least you’re here, I love you

“People tend to hold grudges when you shoot their boyfriends” And you should know Oswald. You should know.

Why the fuck are Oswald and Ivy butting heads so much??? What the shit? Oswald, you’re TOTALLY going to push her away and accelerate her into, you know, becoming Poison Ivy, the lady with the sentient plants who WILL murder you

And now Jim gets dosed, it’s about time

And it’s Lee dying, of course it is

Ohhhh good, and NOW we’re indulging Jim’s suicidal streak. Why does this show always feed into the worst parts of Jim and never force him to be better? Jesus

Goddddd can we stop kicking the dead horse of Jim and Lee’s relationship PLEASE, please, I give NEGATIVE FUCKS. PLEASE. I’m so DONE with that story line, just let Jim and Harvey get married, please please please, why do you always neglect the fact that the person Jim cars MOST about is Harvey? Fuck you show

Meanwhile, Bruce is doing So Well

Bathook! We’re working on it, we’re getting there xp

Good job Alfred, you are my favorite

Ivyyyy :c If you leave her friendless, you’re only going to make her a WAY worse enemy to fight. Y’all gonna regret treating her like crap

Lucius!!!! Right on time, I love you baby X3333 I love you X333

LUCIUS IS THE BEST DAD. LUCIUS TOO GOOD FOR THESE ASSHOLES, TOO GOOD FOR THIS SHOW

A hand for a hand, the new law of Gotham. Just... flawless justice we have here.

That was good tho, I’ll take that

Mmmm, this has to be Oswald’s best and most cunning grab for power yet. He’s not pretending not to be a criminal, he’s using that very criminality as a comfort blanket, that’s ingenious

Hmmmm... maybe they didn’t fuck up Harvey as much as I thought, maybe I will like this angle. Harvey always has had a better sense of strategy than Jim. I love you Harvey, I love you so much. Please, please, survive this man, survive this show

YES JIM, BE GOOD, FOLLOW YOUR HUSBAND, BE HUMBLE, BE APOLOGETIC YOU DUMB FUCK

Yupppp, here we go, I kept warning you. I don’t like the fact that this isn’t from Ivy’s own smarts, her own knowledge of botanicals, but... ehhh, this trash show, I’ll take what I can get.

Hmmmmm... wish they showed Harvey being more useful than this, but, again, this show is lowest fucking bar. Still, Papa Falcone coming back will make me happy. And this leaves Zsasz in an interesting position, as I currently have no idea where his actual loyalty lies or who his employer is. If Zsasz is taken from Penguin, that alone will weaken Oswald’s position considerably

Btw this is a show about Batman
