Spoilers Ahead.
Gotham continues its hot streak this season with another awesome and satisfying episode that sets up for the main event next week.
Gordon's story line involving Bane, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, Barbara Kean, Edward Nygma, and Lucius Fox was great. Cory Michael Smith's one liners were great, and it was nice to see Lee Thompkins return. Bane has finally been born, and as to who Walker is, I have heard rumors, but I'm not sold on who it is yet.
Selina and Penguin's story line was very unique and funny. Camren Bicondova and Robin Lord Taylor's performances were great. Magpie was a unique villain, but I'm glad that they did not make her one of those annoying villains who won't go away. While Camren's acting was good, her performance was not near as good as it is when she is with David Mazouz (Bruce Wayne). Should be interesting as to what Selina does involving her future.
My theory was confirmed, Barbara Kean is pregnant with Jim Gordon's daughter, Barbara Gordon (Batgirl or Oracle). Gordon and Bullock's reaction to finding out that she was pregnant was classic.
The best part came when Alfred was ambushed by Jeremiah. He then takes Alfred to what's left of Wayne Manor and taunts about how "Today's the big day". Cameron Monaghan once again showcases his brilliance as the Joker and shows why, in just this scene alone, he is the best actor on Gotham.
Overall, Gotham continues its hot streak and delivered a satisfying episode that delivered on its character development, setting up intriguing plot points and villains, well written humor, a huge tease for what's to come next week, and strong performances from Ben Mckenzie, Shane West, Cory Michael Smith, Erin Richards, and Robin Lord Taylor.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
