Good start to the new season. I will say with The Absorbing Man running around (not the version that turned into to cocaine) Shield would be and were ****ed. He's a bad bad dude.

Was a decent first episode. I think with the absorbing man you just have to catch him off guard and get in a good head shot. Thought it was stupid Simmons left when Fitz is clearly broken. Now they have no scientists at all.

Thats why he turned into cocaine iirc. He got shot and turned to steal to keep from bleeding out, then had to turn into a substance that the bullet could freely come out of. Lol

I'm still watching. At first I thought putting Simmons in as an undercover agent was completely stupid but she could honestly come out of this as a badass, or at least better. Are they going to find something to fix Fitz or are they going to leave him like that?

I wonder if not having an actual Super Hero hurts it? I wouldn't imagine the movie fans of Marvel that don't care about comics, would really care that much about Shield. I admit I don't really care for Shield, my favorite episodes featured Absorbing Man.

I could see the same thing hurting Gotham.

The show didn't have a super hero to begin with it was all about the agents. The series got off to a rough start with a handful of bad episodes and then everything seemed to kick in gear and get real good.

I think just speaking for this new season it's the introduction of new characters that we really don't know. The new guys they've got, one of them seems like his sole purpose is to be Fitz's translator. There's just no initial investment into those characters for me but I'm going to stick it out.

Gotham is just.....

You missed my point. I'm talking about the ratings falling. We comic fans knew it was just going to be about Shield. Like I said non comic fans probably don't care about Shield. I'm sure comic movie fans only, were anticipating characters they knew, and now they haven't gotten them, ratings are falling.

When movie only fans realize Batman isn't showing up anytime soon, they will jump ship too.

These shows are good for us comic dorks, not so much for movie only fans. And well they outnumber us. Lol

I get your point but you can actually enjoy a show without it having a super hero unless you're just really so one sided.

No offense but there aren't enough comic nerds to sustain an entire show on prime time on a big network. If Gotham wants to maintain 6.3 million viewers they'd better jump ahead in time by about 20 years when Bruce becomes Batman.

Well you know I prefer bad guys anyway. :) Casual fans want Iron Man not Colson, we can enjoy it, they can't.

Your second paragraph contradicts your first one, doesn't it?

I think we are agreeing, in some weird combative way. Lol

I completely get the Colson thing, I know where you're going with that.

In a way it is. I'm watching both shows and I clearly enjoy MAOS far better than I do Gotham but I'm still watching both. I'm really wondering where Fox draws the line with losing viewers and when to renew or cancel the show. No, I haven't even looked at MAOS's numbers and probably don't want to.

Really? I'm the opposite, I like Gotham better. Fox is generally pretty quick to pull the plug. I have no idea what MAOS's numbers are, I was going by Cagle's comment earlier.

Unless you just really find Gordon's character that interesting there isn't much going on in that show. Then again you did mention you like watching the psychotic Penguin kid. If the Penguin wasn't there would you be watching Gotham?

As was I.

Gordon is ok I guess. But if the Penguin wasn't on there, I'd watch but not really care much and it would have a very short leash for me. Not much else interests me on the show. I think more air time for the Riddler might help, though he'll probably be mostly saved for next season...if there is one.

Decent episode this week. This underground alien city has a lot of potential and a lot of mysteries. It sure seems like they're slowly trying to make Ward a "good guy" of sorts. I'm wondering why Shield even cares that he murdered his older brother and burned down his house. Just another messed up villain out of the picture.

I'm not sure that building on the character is making Ward a "good guy". They're just fleshing out the character. As for why they would care about him murdering his older brother? The man was a Congressman, and the death was staged to look like a murder/suicide, meaning Ward also killed his parents. Three deaths committed by a homicidal maniac with SHIELD training, I think I understand the concern.

I like that they've finally named the Kree. I'm intrigued by those who have supposedly been "chosen". I'm wondering if that's leading towards the Inhumans. I know this series leaves something to be desired for those who want immediate gratification, but I enjoy these slow burn stories that unfold over time. IMO, this series has done a good job of keeping episodes entertaining while simultaneously building toward a bigger story. I think this is one of the most underappreciated shows on TV.
