'Gotham' Season 1 Episode 14 'The Fearsome Dr. Crane' Review


Non Spoiler Review- Probably the best episode this show has provided in a while. This episode had some interesting subplots and highlighted a few characters to give them much more depth. Overall definitely one of the better episodes this season

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. Maroni learns of Penguin's true loyalties- The most enjoyable part of 'Gotham' is the mob drama. This episode had Fish snitch on Penguin to Maroni so Maroni tests penguin and Penguin fails. It was really creepy and fun to watch Maroni ask Penguin to tell the truth and see them play games to discover the truth.
2. Penguin escapes- When penguin confesses Maroni has him placed in a car to be crushed and Penguin outsmarts Maroni and escapes. i wonder if he will just work for falcone or become his own entity in the upcoming episodes.
3. Fish Mooney attacked on boat- i didn't exactly understand what was going on but at the end of the episode the ship mooney is on is attacked and it concludes on a cliffhanger of who will win between the attacker and Mooney. I'm curious to learn exactly who the attackers are and what thier intention is.
4. Edward Nygma- It was interesting to see Nygma inch closer to becoming his iconic counterpart. He is getting even crazier and sabotaged a co worker to remain on the force. I wonder when he will make the full transition to the Riddler.
5. Dr. Crane- Dr. Crane is Scarecrow's father so once again 'Gotham' is introducing all of Batman's classic villain's relatives as villains of the show. I do think he is one of the better villains who is unrelated to the mob and is deranged. I'm just getting tired of seeing villain's parents portray a very similar character (ie. Richard sionis).
