4x11 A Dark Knight: Queen Takes Knight

Ho, ly, jesus. What an amazing episode. Grin all the way through except the beginning but it quickly became amazing and got more great and subverted my expectations. What an amazing episode. Holy jesus. Wow. Wow. Lol. So, the start. Was good, and then it jsut subverts expectations and kill off falcone. It changed convention hugely with that, if he's even dead of course. But taking it as it is. Wow. I can't believe they did that. Amazing. Makes my previous comment about convention make me look a bit like a fool. And sofia, wow, amazing what they did here. She was more intelligent than i thought. Like i had a feeling that she might be being better than she was than in the previous episode, and she's actually more capable, but this was more than i thought, and i'm so glad they did this. God and that wheelchair scene was great, and also makes pygs identity have meaning and weight and when she killed him it was great too, and the ending of pyg was great. The dialogue between gordon and sofia was great and satisfying too. I still ship them though it's likely it won't happen. Mabye she planned that gordon would protect her and use the police after she killed carmine. She did really good here.

Ah but yes this is only part of the amazing episode. So the spoiled bruce thing continues. A few episodes ago or a while ago i was thinking but never said, that i kinda wish alfred beat the crap out of bruce to really teach him. And omg, it happened. He beat the crap out of bruce. Not really but yes. In a great scene. First, they went at it in hand to hand skilled combat. It's an amazing dynamic to have the young batman in here. And it was a good line saying oh hes rusty isn't he, but even if he weren't alfred still would have won. All the dialogue is great here. But in a test of skill in hand to hand, alfred easily beat him. That was so satisfying to watch, because it also shows stuff that will be cemented in the canon kinda. Even thoguh bruce is a teenager, he's still he young batman, and beat down thugs and that talon fighter iirc. And let's face it, bruce needed a bit of a beating. Not really and not that i mean that, but you know, what happened basically, that's exactly more or less. And it actually happened, it was amazing. The hand to hand and then the punch, that great punch, yes yes yes. Bruce fights thugs and all that so the punch is fine really, it was necessary and fine, plus he must be nearly an adult now. Anyway point is, it was all great and amazing. And the whole, alfred being fired and having to leave, and bruce still being as he is, it's all still great drama, and it will be even more satisfying when bruces eventualy comes around and alfred comes back, it will make all that even greater, that's why i loved this drama.

Riddler bit was good. Harvey bit was good. Didn't really like the whole riddler loves lee though, eh. The actor who plays penguin is great as always. And what happened to the character was good and i like what they did with zsasz. I also liked what they did with solomon grundy/butch at the end there. He came through for a second in that fight and when he reverted i thought it was bit of a letdown/cheap shot, but i also thought that, now it was possible he's there, they might bring him back soon, because if he didn't then it would be kinda cheap to do that. And so i liked all those scenes with butch and tabitha trying to get through to him.

And to top it all off, that great joker scenes. Yes, yes, yes. What they did there was great and just made an amazing episode even more sweeter and i so so look forward to the next episodes but i just feel like, this is such a highpoint, you can't keep maintining these mabye. But damn, right now, this was amazing, so highly enjoyable. One of the best episodes of gotham. Look how much ive wrote about this. Amazing.
