I hope so too.
I hope this marks the point where the series begins to find its voice.
In the next episode Bruce will start to learn how to fight .
It's been a long long time since I've enjoyed a tv show that much, not since Star Trek The Next Generation.
I hope they'll keep up the good work.
Glad to see another fan of the show.

With Fish in particular , we got a bit of humanity from her and at least got a hint that she's more than just an over the top mobster. I also liked that the storylines thematically seemed to all be on the same page as opposed to the early episodes in which you had various themes with no unity to link them together. I also liked the character moments with Bruce and Alfred. I almost get the impression that Alfred himself may have grown up in a rough part of town ,and may have even been a hooligan himself in his youth, which is an interesting interpretation of the character.
Wonder if we'll see both Tommy Elliot and young Roman Sionis?
All in all, a solid episode , and I'm glad to see they didn't back slide after Penguin's umbrella.
Boy, I did really enjoy young Bruce hitting the son of a bi...

I'll say it again:
1. The best to date portrayal of the pre-Batman Bruce Wayne. Precocious, obsessive, genius, driven, dark, brooding, slight sparkle of humanity, hopeful, with a large shadow. If you don't believe this kid could become the Bat, there's no hope for you.
2. Three cheers to Mr. Pertwee for being familiar with the source material. A fine actor, indeed.
It is uncanny how much Sean Pertwee looks and sounds like his father.
This is way too early.
Dick Grayson will not be introduced but his future parents.
Hilarious GOTHAM Parody
I loved seeing Sionis and his mask affinity, as well as Gordon going full on badass and taking all of them goons to school in what was some impressive fisticuffs choreography.
As it has already been said, this show has a great adaptation of a young Bruce, and it's great to see him progressing further and further on his road to becoming the Dark Knight. Seeing his relationship with Alfred grow from a simple boy and his butler to a boy and his surrogate father, partner in crime and trainer is brilliant as well. I can't wait for the next episode to see Bruce's fight training begin, and to see him back at school, which is a great side of him to see.
Gordon and Bullock are finally getting on the same page too, which is great, as was the latter's speech to all the cops at the GCPD to get it in gear.
I loved everything about this episode but two things. One is the character of Tommy Elliot and how he was portrayed. In the comics, Tommy and Bruce have a very warm and touching relationship when they're boys, and have a history, often getting together to play strategy games (which makes sense for both characters). Here, Tommy acts like Bruce is some nobody and worth a clump of dirt. I could understand him acting like an arrogant, insufferable punk if they were shown to have a history and it was visible that Tommy was jealous of Bruce's inheritance and healthy family life, seeking to get revenge, but it's like they're strangers.
Secondly, Barbara. Good god, Barbara. I liked her at the beginning, but now she just strikes me as an overly dramatic chick who wants everyone to throw a pity party for her. She gets on Jim's rear for all her suffering when he has always looked out for her and made sure she was out of Gotham and safe in the last episode. What does she then turn around and do? Come back to Gotham, think she can trust Falcone and his boys, and ends up getting captured like the clichéd damsel in distress she is. Greeeeeeeat. And in this episode she has the nerve to make Jim feel guilty AND storm out on him? What a crock. The sooner Gordon has his affair with Essen and severs his ties with this gal, the better.
My issue with the show so far.
Exactly If Gotham City is a character unto itself, then it's suffering from depression, paranoia, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and several other miscellaneous disorders. Which is what makes it cool. And its also probably why it's famous for Arkham Ayslum. Madness is definitely the name of the game in Gotham.
Im glad you like the show.
