Gotham Lovecraft (2014–2019) watch online HD

The main focus this week is on Selina and Bruce, and the two young actors gamely take center stage and shine. I initially had my doubts about having the two characters build their relationship this early, but I was wrong. The famous dynamic between the two is already here, in PG form of course, and they play really well off of one another. We also get to see Alfred kick some serious butt as John Doman continues to make the character his own.

The end, which sees Gordon re-assigned to Arkham Asylum, is a bit too convoluted, but it does open up some interesting story possibilities for the future.

I was really impressed with this episode. Even Jada Pinkett-Smith did some acting, rather than ACTING! Gordon is still in Bud White mode, his open contempt for the mayor gets this episode an extra star. While the building jump was very poorly done, Bruce and Selina's escapades while on the run were well handled overall, particularly how Bruce helped Selina see that her life on the street had made her a bit too tough, and kudos to the show runners for the way they handled the kiss at the end! Master Mazouz is a little scrawny, I'll admit, but he has all the intensity you'd expect from the boy who will be Batman. But my highest praise must go to Sean Pertwee, his work on the action sequences this week, even if aided by some stunt doubles here and there, took me back to the 1970s when 'my' Doctor, his father Jon, was the incumbent Doctor Who. I'm not sure that the 'assassins of the week' are actual Batman villains, but the gymnast/contortionist who appeared to be deriving kinky pleasure from choking out her victims was a bit much, even if I found myself wishing Bruce Wayne in 'The Dark Knight Rises' had heeded her advice to young Bruce that courage and good sense aren't the same thing!

In Gotham's mid-season finale we had plenty of noteworthy moments sure, were they stunning? Nope, but I think even though this episode was one of Gotham's weakest, it sets up a few things for further down the line.

In typical Gotham fashion, the episode wasn't focused on Gordon and Bullock, instead this time it was on Bruce and Alfred. It was a nice change up, and I actually didn't mind their appearances. They didn't feel forced in or out of place. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the two. And who doesn't love seeing the good old butler kick some butt? But Selina Kyle also played a huge role. I have been one of the few people who have enjoyed Selina so far. Even though her lines have been cheesy and tonally off, I think her character has been interesting and Bicondova has brought some serious charisma. She was okay in 'Lovecraft', she brought some of the toughness and intelligence out of Bruce and even gave him a kiss.

Penguin was noticeably absent from most of the episode. His relationship with Falcone was shown briefly but sadly this episode didn't focus on the crime bosses. I didn't really like the assassins. I thought they were the stereotypical villain of the week. And please, that jump for Selina and Bruce took a leap of faith for the audience to believe in that. The CGI was pretty brutal. I do think putting Gordon at the asylum makes for some pretty interesting story lines, even if it doesn't entirely make sense why that's where his punishment would be.
