    Such a crock of shit that Michelle Williams went home.  She was amazing in both of her performances.  I’d say she easily beat Fox and then she destroyed Thingamajig in the Smackdown.  
     

    I’ll have to go back and rewatch earlier episodes, but this episode was obviously taped back to back with another episode.  Jenny in the blue dress and loose hair, Nicole in the one shoulder black dress and a high ponytail.   I also recognized two repeat audience members (the small blonde guy who gaped his mouth open during Tree and the ponytailed Asian woman during either fox or butterfly, I forget which).  Both were definitely in the audience for some of Patti LaBelle’s performances. 

    For some reason I thought Asian woman was in the audience for “Cheap Thrills” which was Patti’s second performance.  Why have studio audience sit in on consecurive taping episodes that are so out of order?0

    I agree she destroyed Thingamagig in the Smackdown. She should not have went home. This is just my opinion I thought the Fox was better than Michelle. He sang his heart out. It was his best. That duel was hard because it pitted two people who have been vocally great.

    Maybe Tree?

    I hope its tree because she would be against a strong female. It would make their decision harder.

    Butterfly has the strongest voice of the four but the Fox is a great performer.  Since they need to get rid of the Butterfly In order to allow Flamingo to win, I think they will pair Butterfly against Fox, and Tree against Thingamajig.  Fox and Tree win.  Then In the smackdown they will discard Butterfly in favour of Thingamajig.  Sigh.

    I wonder why they want Flamingo to win so bad. Wouldn't they want Butterfly in the finals because she would provide big competition. Make the finalie more interesting to watch.

    I wonder getting rid of Butterfly and Flower is to create news and controversy to get people to watch the show? Well they got big news with Flower/Patti. More than I think they realized.

  3. Based on spoilers we know Butterfly is leaving in the next episode. Wonder who will be in the Smackdown with here. Better not be Fox. That would be a really hard choice. But if it is Thingamagic than that would not be fair to Butterfly because there is clear Favoritism for Thingamagic. And I am sure heads will explode around here. If its Tree Blech.

    Yes, even if audience votes Flamingo over Leopard and Rottweiler over Flower, in the end, wouldn't the panel be the ones to decide between Leopard and Flower?  I can't fathom how the Flower could lose to the Leopard.  He does move around a bit more, but not by much.  Ugh.

    Here is an idea. What if Flamingo loses to Leopard tonight because he actually sings well. Then it would be Flamingo vs Flower. Flamingo wins that round. Judges get less hate. But people will still lose it because Patti went home. Oh who am I kidding judges will still get lots of hate.

  5. In the media section there is an article stating that the Smackdowns return. It will be Leopard vs Flamingo and Flower vs Rottweiler. If the judges are choosing again this is how Patti does not make the finals. I can see people freakiing out about that. I really hope the audience votes during the smackdown because it will feel less fixed. Why would the judges vote for the Leopard when Patti is better?

    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?

    I am sure that is going to turn viewers away. Hopefully this synopsis does not hurt the ratings the next day. I shudder to think about it.

    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.

    Are you going to stop watching? Are you really going to stop reviewing because I actually do like your reviews.

    So they kill off a bunch of women over the years on this series.  Now they kill off a little kid.  What happens next week?  Tying little old ladies to railroad tracks?

    Bruce couldn't give up the knife, and therefore, it was a forgone conclusion that Alex would die.  It wasn't any real great surprise.

     

    If they need to use violence in an effort to drive the story lines, I have no problem with that.   However, it just seems that some of the violence on this series is all about shock value more so than anything that contributes to the storytelling.  They need to increase the pace of storytelling.  The ratings aren't looking very good, so something needs to change.   Above and beyond that, IMO this series, writing wise, is really in a rut.

    Writing wise I think they are hitting it out of the ball park this year. It started last year when the show it its stride. They continued this year. Ratings wise its just in a very competitive slot and it was moved. Its got the same rating the last few weeks. People are sticking by it.

    So TVGuide has its fall preview up and this is what they have to say about Gotham:

    http://www.tvguide.com/special/fall-preview/gallery/2017-returning-fall-shows/28/

    I think the last point gets to me. So far on Gotham they've done everything from murderous sprees to a killer virus to chemically-induced freaks to cannibals to the regenerated dead to damsels in distress to even rape (well, it was more of a false rape accusation...but still).

    Obviously, the question has to be- how much darker can things actually get on this show? They've pretty much covered everything you'd think network TV would allow, so where this show can go I have no idea.

    I also believe it's patently obvious the producers of this show have lost their marbles. They seem to care very little about characterization or narratives, when what should be selling this show is the characters. This was supposed to be a "Batman prequel that shows how the villains- and Bats- came to be". If that's not an indicator that this show should be character-driven, I don't know what is.

    TVGuide has the wrong premiere date. I guess Fox forgot to tell them they changed the premiere date. How are people going to know when Gotham premieres now? I worry about the premiere numbers on a new night.

    It is pretty much incredulous how some people are selling Gotham moving to Thursdays as some sort of "death slot." Thursday 8PM is a death slot now?`That's just crazy. A "competitive slot" is by definition not a "death slot." Also Gotham's move to Thursday is clear counter-programming with the show going up against heavily female-skewing fare. Realistically Gotham's competition is weaker on Thursday for this reason; the football games are way less watched than on Mondays.

    I am pretty much convinced that the show will pull out all stops for the fourth season and see how it goes.

    Do you know that Gotham is not facing Will and Grace anymore? Now its facing Superstore and the Good Place. Is this worse for Gotham competition wise? I don't know? Here is a Link: http://www.spoilertv.com/2017/05/this-is-us-season-2-returning-to.html

    Lazarus Pit is controlled by League of Shadows / Assassins... why would RAG kill Alfred, then bring him back? 

    We shall see. I like this plot idea better. Better than Alfred being totally dead.

    I would say that this is Gotham, where nobody ever truly dies. 

    (except for women, of course/bitter).

    But I really can't spoil plot, i'm sorry.

    Thanks anyway. Thanks for your review too.

  14. I too am worried sick about Alfred. Blackcanary won't give us any hints on what has happened to Alfred. HMMM makes me wonder. Blackcanary can you give a sliver of information on Alfred in the finale. Please. Thanks.
