He’ll just say everything is fine, “This time it’s different.” You keep pushing and he’ll act personally attacked. He’ll say, “You just don’t want me to be happy.” and he’ll shut you out of his life just life that. The more people tell him to take it slow, the more he’ll double down on it just to show them how wrong…

Now that they’ve proven that it’s a great storytelling device, I hope that every half season Sophia falls into a vat of chemicals and turns into a different teen wolf actor, each one more wooden than the last!

No love for the triumphant return of Mohawk Eyepatch Murder Dude?

Not always a fan of Camren Bicondova’s Selina - she can suffer from the sometimes whiny/bratty writing they do for the character - but I really liked her in this episode. There was some nice chemistry with Bruce - loved their coordinated attacks in the shop - and she was believably conflicted about everything that…

The extra hefty supersized cast didn’t bug me because, for tonight, it seemed like that was the point: Here is the near entirety of Gotham. Though I agree that at I too thought Sophia’s head shot was refreshingly final... until it wasn’t. Hopefully she’ll stay in a coma for a good couple months, her screentime eats…

Yep. And there are many, many girls who are picked up from foreign countries and given the golden ticket of the US visa and potential to provide for their families back home, making it all the more heartbreaking that they believe that they must do anything.

It’s marching in lockstep with the craptastic “girls are the gatekeepers” bullshit. The fashion world may think they’re sophisticated and above bourgeois mentality or whatever but they use the exact same playbook as the most repressive Quiverfull asshole.

agreed. Agents are acting like they are victims here under the pressure and influence of photographers and other companies, but they are actually in positions of power. They’re using that power to abuse kids and acting like everything is fine because kids aren’t self-reporting.

Now that I’m in my 40s I almost laugh when I see print fashion ads and realize that I’m supposed to be interested in buying something worn by a baby-faced teen. I don’t begrudge the models their beauty or success. It just seems ridiculous. They should be smiling and wearing Forever 21 (or wherever kids shop now), not…

A 15 year old girl is a person- not an object. To be given instructions is not the same thing as someone not treating you like a person.

:a group of men breathlessly exit a conference room, ties disheveled, sweat on their brow, waving a piece of paper:

“I feel bad for treating you like shit. How can you not make me feel bad about it?”

“don’t put a scrunchie in my hair and tell me it’s weather.”

It may have been mentioned already, but whoever came up with the phrase “Pax Penguina” deserves a medal and a chocolate sundae.

yeah, the chaos in the story telling was one of the fun parts of this... but I feel like this show could use a season or two of actual order. No ridiculous alliances/team-ups, etc... I feel like the characters are established enough now to see them all start to rule their own territories, and those could be fun to…

Does Sofia Falcone actually have any criminal backing in Gotham or is she all bluster?

This show does have a problem overusing The Unlikely Alliance as a plot device. At this point everyone has partnered with someone who is either actively trying to kill them or has actually succeeded in killing them in the past. Maybe it seems normal to the characters because just about every relationship in Gotham is…

You know that shitty people aren’t shitty 24 / 7, right?

This is nice and all, but it comes off as a ‘well he was not awful to us’ defense.

I bought my daughter a kid’s book of Batman stories, and one of the stories featured Professor Pyg running a circus or something like that. I had never heard of Professor Pyg so I looked him up on Wikipedia. I’m a little surprised they put him in a kid’s book even though the story was innocent enough.
