I was convinced Alfred was at that signing to serve as muscle, not just watch the Wayne legacy be sold away.

This is Gotham and she’s dating Gordon. Being kidnapped by a psychopath is a dime a dozen. But a great dress is REALLY hard to come by, you don’t even know.

He got the idea for finger sandwiches from last week’s lady fingers.

I tried watching Gotham and found it to be not a bit entertaining at all. So now I just watch reruns of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

Tell Galavan he's under arrest, punch him in the face, don't read his Miranda rights...that arrest will hold up!

He takes her back in season 5 and they live a happy life together before she dies in a tragic accident.

Only in Gotham can an industrial empire worth billions be sold by a twelve-year old boy by signing one single piece of paper, without a witness, without an army of lawyers, without any quid pro quo other than the secret contents of an envelope. If Alfred was on his A-game, he’d have bopped the fellow on the head and…

Riddler isn’t generic! He hears voices! That’s unique, right?

One hell of a writing assignment: how many ways can you call a show stupid, because it is, before it get’s boring?

I laughed when I saw the finger sandwiches. The same ones Me, Myself & Irene Riddler hid Kringle’s hand behind.

Damn this gordon guy is doing mighty fine in the ladies department.

So this show’s version of Riddler is just a generic murdering Nice Guy?

Rob, don’t doubt yourself; you give good headlines.

Been refreshing io9 all morning, looking for the Gotham recap. I may not be able to stomach the stupidness of the show, but I think I’m addicted to Bricken’s boggling.

The only way last night could have been crazier/better was if Lee’s asking where Barbara got the wedding dress was not a desperate plea for time, but a genuine interest. And at the end, what she wants to talk to Gordon about is not their relationship problems, but whether he knows the name of the dress shop.

The only thing more fun than you recapping this awful show are the fits some people have over your recaps, insisting you “just don’t get it.”

No, I think it’s a balancing act. Good plot feeds good characters; good characters help develop a good plot.

I feel like this is the opposite side of the pendulum swing, plot/story-wise. Not too many years ago everything was all about the central mystery, often with characterization and continuity of character taking a backseat to driving that mystery forward.
