oh, now she's gone and I'm out with a friend
Gotham is a mess, but it has seeds of a show I could enjoy - Donal Logue is really good as Harvey Bullock and Jada Pinkett Smith as Fish Mooney grabs my attention and holds it hostage every time she's onscreen. I see people call her OTT or annoying, but I think she's exactly what a lady mob boss on a show set in Gotham City should be

The opportunity was THERE. It HAD to be taken! (alternately, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they came up with Franklinstein's monster first and then wrote an episode to use it. It's the kind of thing I'd do, anyway.)
and I adore Ichabod's rants about the 21st century. I would watch episodes of nothing but that.
katrina still seems only half-formed as a character, tho. and her opting to stay with the horseman was stupid. how does she expect to pass messages to ichabod and abbie, anyway?
Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking. I feel like she's been so separated for so long that they don't know how to bring her back to the main plot thread? But they need to, or at least give her more interesting things to play. Otoh, she does seem pretty good at the lies and secrets thing that spies need to be able to do.
and is alfred kind of a dick, or is that just me?
He is! And that's the one thing Alfred should never be! He can take the piss out of Batman when he's an adult, and deflate his grandiose notions, but he should be a caring guardian and good caregiver to young!Bruce. I'm just sad they didn't use the Lego Movie Batman's theme song for Bruce's heavy metal. DARKNESS. NO PARENTS. SUPER RICH. KINDA HELPS.
There are a lot of comics references, but handled so clumsily. Plus most of the characters are from the comics. Fish Mooney is an invention for the show, but most of the other named characters so far do have comics (or animated) antecedents.
