I do not know when this will be shown in my area. All of the networks are showing the local riot.

[avp60685]

They finally started it around 11:50 P.M.

I wish I could loan you my VHS copy, I had to rewind the tape because it had recorded the riot coverage and press conferences at 8, fortunately I saw that they would air the episode around 11:30 and I then set up the recorder to start at 11:30 and go off after 1 A.M.

[AntiArbitrator]

Thanks for the thought. I was able to watch it on the computer today.

I liked Jim’s determination to save Barbara from the Ogre and Harvey sticking by Jim no matter what happens. I am glad we do not have to see any more of Ogre. It was nice the officers applauded Jim at the end, but I agree with Jim that they will return to treating him like an outcast.

I also liked the conversations between Alfred and Bruce. They have great respect for each other. Although Bruce did not achieve his goal at Wayne Enterprises, two men assured him that his father was a good man. My mouth dropped open when Bruce put his father’s picture on the perp wall. I wonder what Alfred will think of that.

I never particularly liked Barbara, but I never wanted her character to be destroyed. That is rather sad.

I like characters that are unusual and off-beat, but I am not feeling any love for Nygma. His psychosis makes him unappealing.

I do, however, enjoy an excellent villain. Penguin is my favorite and he played a devious game pitting Marconi and Falcone against each other. Fish tried to do that, but Penguin succeeded. He is always happy to see Jim and Jim always treats him poorly. I am waiting for Penguin to collect on those favors and they will probably be outrageous requests.

From the Gotham Chronicle

"Shortly after employees returned to work following a false fire alarm at Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne was spotted conferring with junior executive Lucius Fox. Insiders report Mr. Wayne’s meeting with Fox occurred after Wayne was seen leaving the office of Physical Operations Director Sid Bunderslaw under mysterious circumstances."

Lucius Fox is the black man who told Bruce that his father was a good man.

I do not like where this show is going. It was bad enough before, but they've just gone over the edge.

And Barbara's parents did not need to die. That's just excessive.

I didn't see this before I posted but I agree with pretty much all of it.

Fish was missing but it appears she will be back next week. Not that I care.

I saw a newspaper article about minorities on TV and they made a point of mentioning her despite the fact she wasn't a lead.

1.22 All Happy Families Are Alike
(Season finale 5-4-15)
Fish takes on Maroni and Penguin in an effort to re-stake her claim on the city.

[AntiArbitrator]

The finale was exciting and, alas, we lost one of my favorites.

The hospital scene was fun to watch. Jim, Falcone, Cobblepot and Butch were in a dangerous position but good ol’ Harvey came to the rescue. There were bullets flying and thank goodness for an apparently bullet proof ambulance.

The safe house was not safe at all. Selina, sporting an attractive hairstyle similar to Fish’s new look, was waiting for them with an army. I thought Selina would help our guys, but nope. I was amused by the way Fish enumerated who she was going to kill and how she would kill them. Harvey was safe.

I did not really expect any of them to die and I was disappointed when one did.

The rooftop scene was really good. Penguin thinks he is the kingpin now.

Is Barbara dead?

Nygma is losing his grip on control. Whew!

Bruce is determined to learn his father’s secrets and Alfred dutifully helped him with the search. I like the way it ended.

Now

attention.

Oops. I hadn't seen it yet and shouldn't have read anything.

Now that was a good season finale.
I knew that Fish was going to die somehow but didn't know exactly how.
I didn't like nor hate Barbra so i didn't really care what happened to her. But i did feel that bringing her back after being missing for so many episodes and then having her "go off the deep end" to say the least, wasn't right either.

[AntiArbitrator]

Do you think Fish is really dead? I will not believe it until I see her floating body. I do like Fish's new hairstyle.

Didn't Jada want off the show?

True. They never did show her body. I'd like to believe that she is but you never know.

Everyone knows that if you see them die like that, they could have survived.

I won't miss Fish but she's not really gone.

Falcone was a nice man and it's a shame he's leaving.

Peter Scolari just seemed strange. He's just more suited to the Nygma type role.

I'm just glad the season is over with all of that happening. I would have enjoyed seeing more of Bruce's search for the mystery. Alfred feared he was setting off a bomb and I guess that could have been a possibility.

I still wonder what year it is supposed to be. This show has such great looking cars, like the '71 Cadillac that got blown up. I don't think the cops have computers though I have seen them at the hospital. But people have cell phones and they're not the giant ones the size of shoes.

From "2 Broke Girls" (I don't remember the exact quote): "as many excuses as Jada has for Will being gone."

There's only one Barbra and she's the greatest female singer ever.

You must be referring to Barbara. I mainly liked looking at her, so I guess I agree.

What has she got against shoes?

Just quoting the part i'm responding to...

That's a good question... One that we probably will never know the answer to.

Forgive my typo. But hey, at least you had fun with it.

It must be from all those high heels she wears... Too hard on the feet to wear them all the time.

I was watching a movie yesterday that was set in 1990 and a man had a huge cell phone. The ones on this show are pretty much the same as those carried by people who don't care to update their technology.

Jim's girlfriend is also the computer voice on "The Flash".

Kent Desormeaux, who won the Preakness but not the Belmont, talks like Penguin.

[KyleEl]

I forgot to mention that Jim's wife was Michael Rosenbaum's ex in the movie I saw Sunday.

[AntiArbitrator]

Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock) has been pleading with the public and fellow actors to help him find his teenage daughter, Jade, who has been missing since June 26.

Today, he is assuring people that she is not a runaway. He is also asking for help from John Walsh.

[KyleEl]

I saw that in my local paper too. I hope everything turns out okay.

One of the characters on "Riverdale" said, "Riddle me this."

[AntiArbitrator]

Mr. Logue's daughter is home. They were mute regarding the circumstances.

[KyleEl]

Good. And they are under no obligation if they don't want to be.
