TV: Gotham, Flash
Spoilers for most recent ep below the cuts:
Although this was a pile of cliches, it was actually compelling. Usually episodes without Selina or Fish are boring.
Does anyone else think it will be revealed that Jim said "Kill Lee" because he knew the baddie would do the opposite of what he said? Ugh. I like Valerie/Jim much better in terms of chemistry and their whole dynamic than Lee/Jim where they were such an overdone stereotype of the woman who wants to save him from darkness (and who therefore is an obstacle to a lot of the great things he does) - and I LOVE Morena Baccarin, but this is not my favorite role of hers, though I did really like her friendship with Kristin and that she punched Ed for it (and I liked her scene with the chief too). But really, after this ep, I'd rather ship Valerie/Lee and Jim/Lee's fiancee.
But the reason I'm posting: Is it weird that I feel SO bad for poor Penguin? I'm not one to woobify serial killers usually lol. But even though the sexual tension was amazing between Penguin/Ed last time, I thought they were slash baiting and did not expect Penguin to canon be in love with the Riddler. I should not have these silly fluffy angsty feels for Penguin's love life. (And I would be more on board with Riddler falling for someone if she were just some riddle-loving woman and not a lookalike of the woman Riddler murdered - not cool. Though come to think of it, it's probably safer for Penguin to not be loved by Riddler - though if Riddler tried to obsessively love and kill Penguin, Penguin would probably try and kill him right back. A lot.) Though I can see how they could easily turn into a supervillain friendship that occasionally teams up to fight the good guys and occasionally tries to kill each other and occasionally is besties and occasionally has hate sex, etc., over the course of many decades.
LOL "I'm Oliver now." That's adorable. Though honestly, it's interesting that Barry is being all sweet and mentory to Jessie, while Oliver struggles to train his new team and there's all this drama, and Oliver taught Barry - like it would be fun to have more interaction or extras or something where they compare mentor notes. Or Oliver offers to train Jessie and Harry is NO! Or Barry meets new Team Arrow and is like, "What are you guys complaining about? He shot me in the back!"
LOL the West kids all have crushes on dorky science-y do-gooder speedsters. Jessie even kind of looks like a female Barry. Must be in the West genes.
AWW team Flash telling Harry he'll have more fun with them than on Earth2 <3
LOLOLOL Barry not wanting to make out lying down on the couch with Iris in front of Joe (which is natural, that was obv kissing about to be more than kissing) but then going - "He's your dad! And he's my da- uh, he's Joe." Oh, Barry. That's correct. It's WEIRD to make out with someone who has the same dad as you. Really weird. LOL though that the show addresses it by Iris not caring and Barry not even able to articulate the issue. Character-appropriate.
So in the original timeline, Oliver told Barry that Snart was gone with the Legends? So... Oliver knows that Barry and Len are frenemies?
"I care for you too, you jackwagon," with that little smile. I love the Cisco/Harry flirtation. But why would they want to get Harrys from other Earths?? Like they assume these other Harrys can drop their own worlds and go here? WTF
So the whole thing about sending out the puzzle to other worlds - why do only Harrisons answer? There are no other geniuses? So confused. But I assume this is an excuse to let Tom C do silly characters? Adorable that Harry can't stand the thought of being replaced, though.
"He's a Harrison who's nice and not evil, which is a combination we've never had before" :)
Caitlin using her powers YES
Top and Jessie have some good UST actually.
I actually really like the idea of infinite reflections to trap that guy - that's a fun idea.
I find HR annoying.
I love that Harry says that Cisco "can do anything." And that Harry/Cisco hug and sweetness.
And Harry figuring it out about Caitlin.
It would be cool to see Killer Frost fight Captain Cold tbh.
