Very much this. My rating of various plot lines / aspects
Sorry, she may be doing a good job with the character, but this side show is awful. First of all, it took a ridiculous prison break by her buddy to free her when she should have been dead already. Second of all, the end of that one episode where the guy shot the captain and then captured her was comical. The two of them growling and running at each other right after he just executed the captain? We don't even know where the heck that boat came from.
Yeah, so now they just kill her for being insolent. At least that's what would happen in reality. I think she wasted an opportunity to grab the leader and hold him hostage.
Seems like the only way to find anything is to use google. Searched for a fairly big and popular thread, not found. First result on google.snogger said:Found you .. Little sucker dropped to page 8 and search for Gotham or Batman didn't find this slippery little fellow..
Tthought last nights episode was very good..
Fish popping her own eye out and then stomping on it
Alfred getting stabbed, and by someone trying to help the board take out Bruce
Penguin having a heck of a time getting the club to run, and getting help from the person he still fears..
Agreed, really silly way to keep her alive. She isn't useful, why not just kill her. What use is she now to the organ donors other than somehow the writers keeping her in the show? I still don't like the Fish character. She reminds me of Sylar in Heroes where she could have easily been killed and it would have been a great scene. Instead they wanted to keep the character around and now they have to make crap up to keep her story going.
Not sure I get those references on this show. Batman, as seen in the recent movies/this show, is probably the most realistic super hero (or Sci-fi like Transformers) show there is. If you have watched this show, it is basically a mob/cop show where there isn't a single super power. So, I think I have to disagree with your assertion and references to zombies and Transformers, neither of which are grounded in reality. I know "reality" is a stretch for Batman, but I mean reality in terms of no super virus, mutants, talking cars or flying people with laser eyes.
This reminds me a lot like the Walking Dead thread. "Hey, you know that show based on a comic book? The one where there are super villains and a super hero dressed up as a bat patrolling the city? Don't you think there are a lot of parts of the show that seem unrealistic?"
I'll never understand why people expect everything to be realistic. It's entertainment. It all reminds me of a guy I worked with who was telling me that the first Transformers movie was OK but he was upset because he felt there were some unrealistic plot holes. Forget the fact that aliens had just come to Earth and were able to transform into vehicles. That's fine. But the fact that the government officials acted in a way that real officials would never act ruined it for him.

Yeah, it is but that doesn't mean a whole lot.True, I just meant that I can see more leniency with other shows. I would consider Batman as close to realistic as a super hero show can get, i.e. the people are caricatures and some of the inventions are pushing it, but not quite to the level of a Superman or X-Men or Transformers or zombies.FUBAR said:"most realistic super hero show"stbugs said:Not sure I get those references on this show.

brainwashing, adrenal gland serum, investment firm fight club... realistic is not how I'd describe the show, nor hope for.
Yes. KillerCroc agrees with you.True, I just meant that I can see more leniency with other shows.

It's on par with SHIELD IMO. (and I really like both shows)True, I just meant that I can see more leniency with other shows.

Typo, sorry assmunch. Fixed as soon as I saw it.
lol of course I was
It has gotten much better as the season progressed, but what Charlie said is true. That part was awful.
meh its ok
apparently you do hit F5 all day posty
Thanks for bringing this back on topic.
A bit overselling of foreshadowing IMO - Bruce wants to kill him but doesn't, so Cat does it for him.
I'm obviously in the minority but I've found her character at least mildly amusing/interesting. Cringeworthy, but I've actually liked her story.
Honestly, I hope this is where they are trying to get back to instead of all of the other characters. It was so much better when it was a mob vs. each other vs. Bruce Wayne (killing his parents) and Gordon was the main star as a detective with his partner solving cases and fighting the mob. Bringing in the other characters for bit spots here and there with the penguin being more central with Gordon and Selena with Bruce was fine. Making Mooney a main character and spending so much time on her in the ridiculous story (the doctor reattaching a head to body parts, really?) was a huge distraction and derailed the show a lot.
I didn't really either, but I like the serial killer aspect. I hope they get back to being a cop show instead of the ensemble show it became. It seems like this break may be doing that.
yep. The Cat / Bruce stuff is great, though again with the blatant foreshadowing. It just seems they're too obvious with the stuff we know.
Enjoyed it. No Fish.
I liked the fact that they seem to be giving the different plot threads a little more space; with like 5 minutes to go, all of them were still unresolved and I was afraid they were going to rush at least one of them to a conclusion before the hour was up.
especially Alfred's buddy
