Non Spoiler Review- A dark and interesting return to 'Gotham' after a month long break that explores character dynamics, develops the major characters and introduces another villain to the show.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Loeb sets up Gordon- It was interesting that Gordon was set up by Loeb to receive the Ogre case so the Ogre would target Jim's loved ones. It's nice to see him as someone who can always come out on top using his mind and manipulating others.
2. Penguin plans to kill Maroni- I continually think that the Penguin is the best part of 'Gotham' and I enjoy watching the endgame he has planned for Gotham City come closer and closer into fruition and how clever Cobblepot is and the work he does behind the strings to prepare for his grand scheme. I love the Penguin arc and can't wait to see it pay off.
3. Bruce investigates- Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle investigate the man who stabbed Alfred. We see Bruce grow closer to becoming the Batman by becoming a great detective, etc. 'm curious to learn what the Wayne Enterprises Board has planned for Bruce.
4. Fish escapes?- At the end of the episode Fish Mooney outsmarts her captor, the Dollmaker, and tricks some muscle into becoming a distraction so she can take off ad leave the island in a helicopter along with anyone else she wants to liberate. While taking off she is shot by the captain of the guard and we are unsure whether she leaves the island or if she will crash, etc. I liked the open ending and can't wait to learn what became of her character.
5. The Ogre- It was interesting to see the actor who played Peter Petrelli in 'Heroes' play a psychopathic villain. This villain is quite creepy and very intimidating and I think it's an interesting addition to 'Gotham' given that the character has only appeared in the comics one or two times as a monster.
