Gotham - FOX TV Show Discussion

[DurararaFTW]

This show is nowhere near even in the realm of Game of Thrones.If the writing was visual art the writing on Game of Thrones would be Van Gough the writing on Gotham would be a child drawing stick figures.That's how far apart they are.

Comparing it to game of thrones because there are multiple factions vying for power?
To me it seems like the guy with all the power Falcone/corrupt gcpd vs fish mooney vs penguin/maroni with jim gordon filling out the jon snow role
Not exactly the war of five kings going on here

I imagine he's addressing all critics that thought this would be a strict police procedural and feel surprised and betrayed to see characters like Bruce and Selina not be oneshots.

Yeah, I kinda took it to be a tonal comparison rather than a direct one.

One glaring difference between Game of Thrones and Gotham that I can see... No floppy wieners.

Game of Thrones is **** once you strip away the fantasy nerd hype and HBO hype structure.

So what you're saying is Gotham isn't 70% Porno and 30% storyline?

Hmmmm, maybe next time Montoya and Allen interview Mrs. Cobblepot she should be in the middle of a pole dancing class.

If it is **** why the hell is it so popular across generations ethnic groups and people who really don't give a damn about the fantasy genre.That's some good **** right there and it says something about humanity. Last time I checked sex was part of life in fact without it there is no life.Do you not like sex? I enjoy it very much but to each his own.

I would say, if GOT is Van Gough, Gotham is Jim Lee. Both are good in different aspects.

It's popular for the same reason other terrible soap operas are popular.

And I didn't say a thing about sex.

I am glad Nygma showed up a little this episode. Hopefully they can incorporate him more mirroring his persona in the Animated series and the Arkham games.

[failo.legendkiller]

Leslie Thompson has been cast.

Yeah.

They couldn't pick a better one, after that news i'm in

I have a feeling Leslie will be Gordon's much, much more popular love interest. Whilst Barbara still has marry Gordon and give birth to Barbara.

I'm enjoying it so far. Just watched episode 3 on Hulu last night....

spoilers:

Well, obviously the kidnapper IS gonna come for Bruce which should be loads of fun but really Bruce is rght. I don't think Alfred would be able to withdraw millions to pay the ransom, and the shadowy and enigmatic shareholders of Wayne Enterprises ain't gonna care.

end of spoilers

I don't love the show, but I'm still sort of entertained. The problem is that it's waiting for the mob war to really become interesting. Until then we're left with a second rate police procedural, and I've been tired of those for years. If the episodic villains, like the balloon guy or the couple who were kidnapping kids, were more interesting then it would be a different story, but they're trying to make them comic bookish, and unfortunately they've been pretty uninspired so far, so even the comic book element is falling short. I see potential, but I'm still dubious. I'm a pathetic Batman fanboy though, so I'll continue to watch regardless.

Props to Alfred though. I like that they've made him a bit more reserved in a slightly working class dad kind of way. It makes sense for the character since he's trying to be a father figure to Bruce, but doesn't quite know how to connect with him
