Perdido: 2014

Alfred's a badass, Selena is quite the crafty little number, and all the kiddies that called Gotham a run of the mill procedural got the action they hankered for.

for all the online complaining that this finale is Gotham High School with Li'l Catwoman and Li'l Batman, it 1s surprising that the same folk go goo-goo gah-gah over Arrow 90210.

by comparison Gotham does not suffer from the "I feel pretty" syndrome. Gotham must necessarily, via premise, focus on the development of the dark city and its denizens. this means prepubescent Wayne, for good or ill.

speaking of puberty and its subsequent mating rituals, Pennyworth is quite the player, and Mooney has just wet her knickers. more fun to follow, surely.

romance aside, Cat is a good influence on Bruce. surely boxing and gymnastics will serve Batman well, but it is his understanding of the Gotham underbelly that will turn out to be his strongest attribute.

Bruce Wayne the World's Greatest Detective has begun his education exploring in the hidden school. i am not feeling Ivy, yet she is sown, to be harvested later. {the show does feel a bit crowded at times}

what i find frustrating about this show, and especially about the finale, is that with such talent, the play alternates between its usual sold to the american audience verbiage to this jolting tripe that passes for dialogue. these ARE good actors, and when it doesn't cater to expediency the dialogue tends to be good, better than most and almost as good as the dialogue in the Flash show. the finale's words wavered.

in keeping with its rush to be everything to comics fans and non-fans alike the finale threw everything AND the kitchen sink at the screen. still if you like the show, as i do, accomodations must be made for the season-long set-up. i keep fingers crossed and hope for a bit more dramatic pacing come next episodes.

SAG Nominee Misty Upham Shares One of Hollywood's Dirty Little Secrets:

" Across the country, hundreds of thousands of workers are waging—and winning—campaigns to pass domestic worker bill of rights laws that restore basic labor protections to this vital workforce. In September 2013, the National Domestic Workers Alliance and Caring Across Generations—two organizations that I actively support and encourage you to explore—joined allies across the country in celebrating a historic victory when the Department of Labor updated its regulations to extend minimum wage and overtime protection to millions of the nation’s homecare workers. This landmark change is just the beginning of the road to opportunity for this workforce. More is needed, including a living wage."
