'Gotham' Season 1 Episode 15 'The Scarecrow' Review


Non Spoiler Review- I consider this the best episode of 'Gotham' to date, there were great interactions between characters, and I'm very excited to possibly see an early version of the Joker next week. Overall, a great episode and i'm very excited for next week. 

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

Highlights of the episode

1. Penguin's club- Penguin is now officially in charge of Fish Mooney's former club and it is currently called Oswald's. I hope this club will evolve to eventually become the Iceberg Lounge given there were few people present at it's opening.  
2. Maroni confronts Cobblepott- I liked it when Maroni and Falcone arranged a deal to not kill Penguin and thought it was very interesting when he approached Penguin and told him that he better hope that Falcone lives a long life. 
3. Riddler meets Penguin- One of the fun aspects of this week's episode was that Penguin met the Riddler and I thought their interaction was very amusing. I liked when Penguin told Nygma, "Do you know who you're standing next to?" and Nygma takes a step back. It was hilarious to see Penguin waddle and Nygma nerd out. 
4. Alfred and Bruce watch the sun rise- A heartfelt moment of the episode was when Alfred came to help Bruce and the two watched the sun rise. These two are one of my favorite parts of the show i really enjoy this Alfred and young Bruce and hope for more great moments from them. 
5. Scarecrow- This episode gave birth to the Scarecrow and showed what happened to the young Jonathan Crane. One thing that annoyed me about his origin is that his father is more like the Scarecrow character than his son who is the Scarecrow character. I'm getting tired of seeing so and so's parent portray basically the same character. i hope they jump forward in time or focus more on the mob drama aspect of the show with Maroni, Falcone and Penguin.
