I mean, how else to explain the weird, sort of wonderful disjointed chaos this series has become?
First you have the main story of Bruce Wayne confronting an imprisoned Ras Al Ghul.
Ras wants Bruce to kill him for some reason.
So Bruce confronts Ras and the future Batman totally murders Ras without hesitation.
Didnt see that coming.
But by gum, Bruce does it.
I guess this can be the reason Bruce never kills again?
Hey, why not?
That would be enough for one episode, but notGotham.
The show is nothing if not busy, and they added another villain to the mix.
And Ill be damned if Butch doesnt look like he stepped right out of an episode of Super Friends.
But it really does.
I mean, I was guffawing at the antics of these two villainous dopes.
But here we are with a pairing of a brain-damaged Riddler and a fat swamp zombie and it works.
Dont ask me why?
It seems that Sophia, the newest fatale in Gotham City, wants to get on Penguins good side.
So Sophia invites Oswald to a Hungarian restaurant and feeds him goulash just like Mama Cobblepot used to make.
The whole thing is so utterly ridiculous I just cant be mad at it.
I mean, this weeks episode switched tones so many times I got whiplash.
From the dead serious Ras Al Ghul stuff to the classically silly,Gothamjust keeps on being controlled chaos.
