it made NO sense for kat to join fish......none.....shit was stupid way to make her a part of the episode
My exact thoughts.
She had no ties to the crime world and her entire character development has been about a bad girl with good tendencies. Then out of the blue she's Fish's lieutenant in an imminent 4 way mob war? Get THEE fuck out of here. That alone made me dislike the episode.
What's funny about Fish is that I only began hating Jada's acting when she had increased screen time and they spent so much time building this elaborate excuse for her to come back to Gotham. But once she came back and had to share screen time with Penguin, Maroni, Falcone, and Gordon, I was fine with her.
Maybe becUse it's literally how every Disney character died in the 90's animated movies, but I hate the "falling to his/her death" trope. As soon as they Penguin went to the rooftop I was like "Really? He's going to push her off the building? Why can't she just catch a slug to the stomach or a knife to the throat?"
Marconi's lisp made me laugh the more I heard it. All I could think about was "I'm Scott Malcolmson and I have diabetes." I liked the way he died. I figured she would take him out but I didn't expect it right then and there.
Nygma's dissent into insanity was lazily done. Didn't like that it was over that chick, but I'd be willing to accept it if they made it work. But she shows him the note, walls away, and then he starts having flashbacks until he's insane? I just think they could've done better.
Bruce found the secret pathway beneath the mansion. Great. He won't use it for another couple decades.
My favorite part for me was Gordon and Falcone. It's a shame to see Falcone leave because he brought so much gravity to every scene he was in. And you can tell Gordon respects him even though they're on opposite sides of the law. Lol but Falcone said "This nigga Penguin is too damn good AND out of his damn mind. Fuck this shit, I'm out"
5/10 episode
