Non Spoiler Review- A very strong episode of 'Gotham' that has the most interesting subplots from the show yet. I really like the direction that the show seems to be headed towards and so I hope it maintains its course and doesn't fall of course.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Penguin's situation- The Penguin seems to be in a very tricky situation at the moment where Theo has him underneath his thumb because he has Penguin's mother held hostage and so he told him to kill the other mayoral candidates and make a failed attempt on his life so that Penguin's mother will live. At the same time all of this has caused Captain Barnes to want to take down the Penguin and so Penguin is being attacked by both sides in some regards. I really liked to see how this affected the Penguin and I hope to see this further explored this season.
2. Captain Barnes' mission- I enjoyed the introduction of a new character Captain Barnes to the show who wants to cleanse the GCPD. He starts by firing several corrupt officers, making Gordon his second in command, and forming a strike force of elite cadets from the Academy. At the end of the episode he decides the force will now do whatever is necessary to take down Penguin. I really liked this character and you may recognize him from the older 'Fantastic Four' where he played Thing. I really would like to see his character in future episodes this season.
3. Theo Galavan's plan- We also learn that Theo did everything to gain popular backing to declare himself a mayoral candidate. He also set up Penguin to benefit himself as well as distract the GCPD from discovering his true intentions, etc. I really like Theo as a villain so I'm interested into learning more about his larger plan this season.
4. Nygma's date with Ms. Kringle- Edward Nygma finally gets Ms. Kringle to go on a date with him and the date has an interesting turn of events as we see the Riddler persona start to invade Nygma's mind further. I'm curious to see him slowly become the Riddler and I'm curious as to what will happen in regards to him and Ms. Kringle.
5. Bruce Wayne's new crush?- Bruce Wayne meets Theo's niece and seems to be quite taken with her and I wonder if Theo is setting this up to somehow manipulate Bruce for his own personal gain. We should learn mora about this soon though.
