I can only go by what I see, and I know Jim isn't popular on this forum. I'm aware it's not necessarily the views of the wider fandom, but failing a poll of the fandom, I can't make any other judgements.
Thing is, Jim Gordon isn't a popular character on any Gotham messaging board I have frequented. But yes, of course. It's bad to base your decision on the whining from a couple loudmouths. Best example would be the two sides in the Nygmobblepot controversy. But we don't really have that when it comes to Jim Gordon, we have no "kill Jim Gordon" fandom death squads. The criticism of his character is rather well founded and reasoned.

Crap I'm sorry that was a spoiler shouldn't have posted it in this thread and dunno how to edit it to spoiler.
As for Talia well it would be a rehash of the Silver line.

I think we'll get them back eventually, I just hope the payoff of them being apart all this time was worth it.
Wouldn't be too sure. I mean, next episode we'll have
SpoilerBruce basically boning that new girl right on the dance floor.
I guess the return to Selina, if we get one, will be one little peck on the cheek.
Sorry for being a negative Nancy ;-)

And they aren't giving me back Baby Batcat either :'-(

By the way Sofia is just ridiculously pretty. It's almost disturbing.

Workmanlike episode. Good acting mostly. Synthetic Lee is synthetic.

Blackcanary who was a person on this site. Used to see the episodes before the general tv public and would post her reviews/previews. What happened to her??
All I can say is I talked some to her on reddit and her account is deleted, plus she hasn't posted on telfie for 5 months.

Burton's Batman killed the Joker.
I think it's important to understand how Batman's ironclad no-killing rule works as a storytelling crutch.

I hope that you don't hope too hard...

So it kinda sorta just plodded along painting by numbers and then HOLY SHIT!!!
"One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn't going to go off. It's wrong to make promises you don't mean to keep."
Proud of you, Gotham.

I mourn the death of Baby Batcat. :'-(
I really, really miss them.

Selina has become an afterthought to these writers, much like the other female characters on this show. Which I understand to a degree- the Batverse is dominated by men, but Catwoman is still arguably not just Batman's most famous female villain but also one of his most famous adversaries period. Why she has not been furthered developed and utilized is beyond me.
As I've said earlier male dominance is to be expected in a show with a male protagonist, a male deuteragonist and two male antagonists. Especially since this is ironclad mandated by Batman lore. Batman is a straight white male. Jim Gordon is a straight white male. Period. It's not sexist to write shows about straight white males.
But the other side of the coin here is that if you do not develop the secondary characters, their relationship to the leads, nay, to the show itself falls flat. We saw this with Barbara. We saw this with Lee.
They can't let this happen with Selina. Please.

In reply to the thread title, I'm thinking Cat-trastrophy right now. The show is all over the place where Catwoman's development is concerned. She starts the show as a streetwise kid, not averse to working for Big Bads (Fish, Penguin, Fish again), good at parkour, in close-contact combat ... and right now, she's a streetwise older kid, good at close-contact combat with a whip, and not averse to working with Big Bads (Tabitha, Barbara). She's the same character, just older and with less parkour. (Seriously, I miss Parkour!Selina from season 1). When is she going to pick the skillset that will let her blend into a high society crowd convincingly and steal their crap from under their noses. Are we going to see how she makes the leap from petty crime and thievery to a taste for pretty things (jewellery, art?) And what happened to the girl who, despite her "look out for Number 1" rule still exhibited compassion for other street kids, like Bridget and Ivy, and even Doppelganger-Bruce? If they've lost such an important element of her character now, how are they going to reconcile her to the antiheroine she'll become?
I actually agree. Selina has regressed.

This Bruce will definitely grow up to be the asshole that invites the Bolshoi company onto his yacht to spite Harvey Dent & Rachel....Although TV!Dent is already too old....
This Bruce Wayne will rule the world. :)
Seriously though, David's pretty magical.

Fair enough, but the show says Sophia is 23 (She went to Florida at 13 and has been plotting for 10 years.) So, gross.
How old is Jim?
And that aside, 23 and 39 isn't gross either. They are grown-up people. Period. It wouldn't matter if Jim were 65.

This "too old" thing? Crystal Reed is 32, Ben is 39.
Shocking!

Also, Riddler's potential girlfriend gets suckered with a heavy book and killed by Zsasz. I'm surprised this show doesn't get more heat about stuff like that.
It absolutely can't get any more heat about stuff like that than it already gets on raging SJW tumblr. Everytime the show kills a woman it's sexist. Everytime it kills a black guy it's racist. Everytime a gay feels bad about a love interest it's homophobic.
In other news it seems Gotham has forgotten about the term "build-up." Stuff... yeah... just happens. At least this was more entertaining and I agree, Bratman was to die for.

She does bear an uncanny resemblance to Jerri Ryan now, doesn't she?
Hmm...
Does that mean she has to bone Ken Woodruff, or is that an optional extra?

I guess if alot of people felt the way you did the ratings are going to plummet next episode. Great show while it lasted.
If a lot of people felt the way I did, Gotham would have sky-high ratings. :)

I do think there are ways for Gotham to get away with killing even major canon characters, right up to and including Bruce Wayne himself (as @Kathemy pointed out, Thomas could have "became" Bruce), but the writers would have to be very careful in their execution of it and have a plan for a replacement, since there would be the inevitable fan backlash against such a move. In this context, there's really only character who cannot be offed and that's Gordon. Since the show is supposed to be about how Gordon became commissioner, he has to survive the series- there's really no way around it.
Well...
I think they could kill Jim. The show's original concept was "what if Jim Gordon was the detective to investigate the Wayne murders?" Of course it would be a massive canon deviation, but it doesn't break the concept. The original mystery is more or less solved anyway.
I used Bruce as an example because in my eyes that would be the most shocking development, and it could be solved by Thomas taking his place. Reason I thought it most shocking was that I think everyone identifies the show as "a prequel to Batman"... so it would be pretty weird if there never was a Batman.

S04.E02: A Dark Knight: The Fear Reaper
in Gotham
To be clear for me, I'm just pointing out that we don't have the "unreasonable hate" against Jim that some half-psychotic shippers harbor against, say, Sofia for allegedly "de-gaying" Ozzie. It's like you say, we consider him a dramatic failure.
