My Reaction to “Gotham” S1E11

Yeah, some of these reactions aren’t gonna be posted in chronological order because A) I’m wrapping up my school year so there’s a lot of homework to be done still and B) I have limited time so bear with me here.

AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post.

Is this a play?

*yells at one of the performers for incorrectly pronouncing “vessel”*

Is this supposed to be Maxie Zeus?

This has to be Maxie Zeus because there’s lightning in the background...

He’s [the main performer] a good singer...

*One of the inmates attacks the performers*  Oooh OK, that’s not good!

Oh my gosh, the old fashion nurse outfits!

Why are they blaming it on him [Jim]?!?

“Officer Gordon is responsible for security on this wing, a task he seems unable to manage.”  Dude, give him some slack!

“Any more incidents and I'll have you placed on the remedial duty roster.”  Dude.

“Think you can't fall any further? Think again.“  *voice cracking*  Dude, give him some slack!  C’mon!

Lee!

“He’s [the inmate] fine.  He’s just sleeping off his meds.”  “I’m [the inmate] trying. Get a room you guys!”  Haha!

Behold the start of a relationship that’s probably gonna go downhill in about... a season and a half.

[Selina] You’re sleeping underneath a staircase while it’s raining?  C’mon.

C’mon, she [Ivy] needs help.

*Selina helps Ivy up*  There you go.

*Selina and Ivy decide to squat in Jim’s apartment*  Ohhhh, OK.

JIm’s apartment is BIG. 

Do Barbara’s parents come from money or something?  Are they RICH?

Seriously, they need to put a brace on Oswald so that his leg could get fixed.

“Inflation is a bitch.”  It is.

*The cops knock out Cobblepot*  Ohh!

I like the different variants of the opening theme.  Like this one is a sad one with the slower notes...

“These are electrode wounds.“  That’s what I thought.  With one on each side of the temple, it’s bilateral (so like how you see every stereotypical electroshock therapy treatment happen in media)

That’s a 200 year old building?  Really?  Didn’t they say they were gonna work on renovating it [Arkham Asylum]?

Frogman?  Was he a really obscure comic book villain back in the day or what?

AN:  Get the hell outta here, he was...

Isn’t there a security camera in every wing though in Arkham?

“Really? You don't think I [Fish] could run the family?”  “I don't know, why not? Women's lib and all that. But fair play, Jimmy is next in line.“  Doesn’t Falcone has sons? 

Yeah there’s Alberto and Mario and he also has Sofia.

Ohhhhh MY GOD, IT’S ALASTAIR FROM SUPERNATURAL!

Oh my God, it’s the same actor [Christopher Heyerdahl]!

“Lying? Aaron never lies, Mr. Gordon. He doesn't have the concept. Poor, peaceful soul that he is.”  He killed his family with an ax. Isn't that what you did, Aaron?”  “Never harmed a fly before or since.”  ... that nurse is a fantastic judge of character.  Not.

[Selina perches over the side of a building] *whispers*  That’s gonna be Bruce’s job next!

There’s a lot of Dutch angles in this episode for some reason

That pan over of Arkham looks like something straight out of the video game.  That’s cool!

OK, it has to be Alastair [Gruber]...

Are we bringing in the Electrocutioner?!?

How does no one hear that [the screams of the next victim]?!?

“One man ends up a vegetable while the other recites Shakespeare on a loop.“  What Shakespeare play is that?  Is that “The Tempest?” 

AN:  Yes

“You [JIm] want me [Dr. Lang] to call the police!”  “No. I already called them.“  Oh my God, Jim!

“Have you [Barbara] spoken to Jim recently?”  “Why would I? Renee, you don't have to be jealous of Jim.  I’m over him.”  Dude!

[Barbara] You can’t even find your purse?!?

Third degree assault?  That’s a thing?

Ohhh, what’s going on?

Oh, is Butch gonna turn on Fish?

I actually do like this sense of honor and respect that other members of different Italian mobs have toward each other.  Also, they’re very accepting of each other and their differences (even though they’ll strike out at each other behind each other’s backs).  It’s this weird nicety that occurs and I like it, even though some of it probably doesn’t happen in real life.

“It's soothing... like a bonsai tree.“  BONSAI!!!

BONSAI!!!

“What’s a bonsai tree?”  Have you not seen “The Karate Kid?”  Seriously!

Is Butch gonna turn?  That’ll be interesting.

That’s his [JIm] office?!? 

Oh no, they turned the stage in the rec center into his office, OK.

The actress playing the nurse looks like the same lady who played Frenchie in “Grease”

Oh wait, is she [Nurse Dorothy] the one?  No..... really?

*cups hands around mouth*  You need backup!

*Dorothy lets all the inmates loose*  Ohh snaaaappp!

Craaaaaap...

Or is she [Dorothy] in cahoots with Alastair [Gruber] there?!?

*Dorothy gets trampled to death by the inmates*  Oh craaaappp...

*Ivy pretends to be a “friend” of Jim’s over the phone with Barbara*  Ivy, you... oh my GOD!

“When Dorothy Duncan was a 16 year-old nursing student she killed five kids with poison candy. For homework, she said.“  Oh.

“Do you [Oswald] know what hubris is?”  Pride.

“Holy mother, you [Oswald] stink!”  Haha!

So Penguin’s like a triple agent at this point, right?

IT WAS HIM [Gruber]!  He’s the Electrocutioner!

“Hello, Dr. Lang.”  Hooo.....

If Gruber’s first name is Hans, I’m gonna yell.

“Sorry I had to run. I very much wanted to enjoy a proper chat with you before I left but that's show business. I've been practicing my skills on these sad creatures for a while now. Electricity is an amazing thing. It can work wonders. Nurse Dorothy was an early success. This last time, I think I finally got one just right. Bravo to me. But time to go. It was nice to meet you, Jim. I hope to see you around. All the best, Jack Gruber.“ 

That was awesome!  And the music playing over it!

*silently jams out to “In the Still of the Night” by the White Satins*

Ohh, so he [Butch] is gonna betray Fish!

*Butch shoots and kills JImmy*  NoOOO-OH MY GOD

Color grading!  All the blue!

*silently jams out to “It’s All In The Game” by Tommy Edwards*
