Again... "teenage-angst"? Is that a word for a synopsis? If that's what the writers think of it, why do they believe we want to see it?

How about, "everything"?

The show is insanely beautiful at times. Riddler's insanely beautiful at all times.

So I'm spamming. Sorry. I posted this trash both to /r/Gotham and to my tumblr. Sue me. I have strong feelings! :-/
Now: Everytime I come across this picture on my blog I get a little more angry.
You wanted Ivy and Bruce as a foil for Batcat? (Don't bother denying it. It's been clear both in articles and later in talks with Geha at conventions. She was cast specifically to seduce people and they had her set to go after Bruce Wayne. That's before the show retreated in the face of the fury of the fanbase, who somehow found it unpalatable with a child in a thirty-year-old body putting the moves on teenage Batman.)
You had the perfect choice staring you right in the face.
But of course! Clare had no boobs, and girls with no boobs can’t make people fall in love with them. /s

One thing I like about your reviews Kathemy is how you never fail to give David Mazouz his due. I read elsewhere on how people think he's a shitty actor, and I wonder where the hell their brain cells have gone.
They're haters, they don't need brain cells.
People a certain age, think 20 to 25, often have a desperate need to take a dump on teenagers in order to distance themselves and try to look "mature", never realizing how petty that makes them. They could never discuss a show like 'Girl Meets World' - a hilarious unintended satire of Moral Majority dogma while it was airing - as that's targeted at below their age group. I'm old enough where I don't feel threatened to my adulthood giving a prodigy some credit.
Side note is I think this is why I have so many haters at reddit, that, and being an arrogant bastard. And thank you. :-)

I got the impression that Grace was just a girl from his class - probably someone he never hung out with, but she knew who he was, what with the whole "billionaire orphan" thing. He had a confrontation with Tommy, so he stood out in his memory.
Just thought it was funny since Grace, well, looked like she could possibly be his age, while Tommy was twice as big with a different face. :-D

Plus I'd rather see Selina get more to do then see another version of Ivy.
Hell, I'd even rather see Selina not get more to do than see another version of Ivy.

Side note, Bruce didn't recognize Grace but for some unfathomable reason he seemed to recognize Tommy... :D :d .p ;D
The logic!

Eh, I started drinking at bars when I was 16 and nobody was losing any liquor licenses over that in my country... :-D
And that wasn't a magically corrupt place like Gotham, that was just Sweden.

I mean there's no way they're bringing on Tommy Elliot again without doing anything about it. Throwing Hush and Talia at him at the same time? Well then again, it's Gotham.
Seriously that recast of Tommy is silly. He's what, 25? Damn good looking kid but I mean wtf uhhh...
Yeah my comment-fu isn't the best.

If that's Talia I'm not feeling it at all. She didn't have much charisma.

@Danielg342, I could expand a lot on the argument - Bruno's argument is a bit more nuanced than that - but as I'm off to work I'll just note that it's become increasingly clear that Bruno has been outmaneuvered and little of the show follows his original vision. Yes, he made quite a few changes over the first year, but the first Ivy recast? That's where it was clear to me. While Bruno is no "God", he has a certain integrity, and that was no Bruno move. He's also never defended it.

Made a... you know, like, tumblr post. Because copypasting gets old.

Are you going to stop watching? Are you really going to stop reviewing because I actually do like your reviews.
Slowly coming to my senses.
I've reviewed this show for more than two years. I've been a fan from the first season. I'm in this to the bitter end.
I can all but guarantee, though, my coverage won't be pretty. Yesterday I had to actively restrain myself from making comments that would've gotten me banned here, on the hype, and probably even on reddit.

I don’t think they will run into each other’s arms next time they see each other, but the feeling I still get from them is, “to be continued...”
... "after the series is cancelled."

It'll be most amusing to hear the writers' excuse for this recast. We all remember the last one.
The hate. The f%&king burning hate.

With the latest news I don't see how I can keep covering this show with a straight face.
The hate.

But he apologized for that, and they had a pretty flirty encounter (the most "adult" flirty they've ever been, and not just a couple of cute kids). Then the show just kinda...stuck them on the back burner. I would be more worried about them if they were still pissed off at each other, but they seem to have moved past that before they got benched.
Ivy is supposed to return in episode 12 (which should involve Selina), Sofia's storyline takes a big turn in episode 11, and Pyg is supposed to be around for five episodes, I think, which will take him up to about episode 11 or so. And finally I think something is supposed to happen between Jim and Harvey by this point as well.
I'm unsure if you have forgotten it but they did have the scene where Selina wanted the knife and Bruce told her she should leave. The way the actors talked about that scene, it was clear this was supposed to be the breaking point, and the two are no longer even on friendly terms.

I think it's funny that at a time the adult versions of the characters are engaged in comic canon is the time the show is most hostile towards the pairing.
It's extremely weird. Gotham's sort of been the go-to place for Batcatters over the last years, at least if you're not totally stuck up about shippin two teenagers. How they aren't capitalizing on the comics buzz right now is beyond me.

Like Oswald, Bruce is at an emotional low point now and it's making him vulnerable and stupid. It will be temporary (for both - one will go back to heroing and one will go back to murder and mayhem). I can see this going on with Bruce for, like, a 3-4 episode arc. Then he'll pull himself out of it (and learn how much of it to keep for his "billionaire brat" routine). [...]
I'm sure we'll get both. I just hope that only one will suck (the one that's basically guaranteed to suck).
Batcat never sucks when it's actually happening. It's just how the writers seem hellbent on not allowing them even one moment of happiness before pulling them apart in the most heartbreaking fashion.
I actually understand both Camren and David's objections to that relationship in a fashion, by only going by what's shown on screen. And that's despite barebone Gotham Batcat being an absolutely beautiful romance. Of course the public dissing of the romance is poor PR, though, but maybe that's the way the writers want it.
This is the key for successful ships - and mind you, I'm not embarrassed to call myself a shipper. In order to make the audience invest, you must show what they could have that's worth fighting for. You need to show happiness so people understand why they bother trying to get back together. This is a teen romance, so for obvious reasons they can't just take the shortcut of awesome graphic sex; they need to tell a heartfelt story. Dancing the Masochist Tango 24/7 makes people give up.

No, she absolutely isn't. Doesn't stop people speculating however especially since she's of Lebanese descent.

S04.E10: A Dark Knight: Things That Go Boom
in Gotham
· Edited by Kathemy
I'm starting to legitimately dislike this season. I've never seen a string of Gotham episodes more nonsensical than what we're served this year.
