Major Spoilers Ahead
Gotham focused on character development tonight, and kept its hot streak going.
Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock's story line provided some neat details into Harvey's background and provided some great character development for him as well. The villain was interesting, and you really felt sorry for her, I would guess that she was supposed to be a mix of Clayface and Inque. Donal Logue and Ben Mckenzie once again excelled as Harvey Bullock and Jim Gordon.
Penguin and Riddler's story line introduced a famous Batman villain, the Ventriloquist. Penguin's facial expressions and dialogue with Riddler and Ventriloquist were hillarious. Andrew Sellon's performance as Ventriloquist was neat, while it was disappointing that they killed him off, I knew why they had to. The reason is because they filmed this episode later and could not keep him around because it would have been a huge plot hole. Cory Michael Smith did a great job as the Riddler as well.
Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth investigated the sewers where Jeremiah's toxins were released. While they were searching for someone, I believe they had an encounter with Killer Croc. What made this story line so good, besides the chemistry between David Mazouz and Sean Pertwee, was the fact that Alfred felt like it was his fault that Wayne Manor was destroyed, but Bruce says it was not his fault, and that it was Jeremiah's and Jeremiah's alone.
Overall, tonight's episode of Gotham delievered on its character development, great dialogue, well written humor, introducing new villains, and strong performances from Donal Logue, Robin Lord Taylor, Cory Michael Smith, and Andrew Sellon.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
