Gotham - Series Premiere - Pilot (S1, Ep1)

Gotham

Series Premiere

Title: Pilot

Tonight's the night, loyal readers, the night all my fall shows come back with a BANG! And first on the list is Gotham. I know little to nothing about the DC world, I'm a Marvel girl, so I'm not up-to date with all the things going on in the DC world. I'm not a fan of Batman or Superman. 

Never been into those superheroes. 

So, what will tonight bring us? We'll see.

8:00 - And it begins, ah, it feels so good to react again. IT BEGINS!! And we meet Catwoman first, huh? 
8:01 - She's a lousy pick-pocket. Damn, she's fast.
8:02 - She's going to witness the murder of Batman's parents. That's a lot of blood for a simple shooting. 
8:03 - You've got a good screaming voice, kid. 
8:04 - And the main character has entered. Damn, you are good, lead. 
8:05 - Since when is that a basic? I guess in the comic-verse, it is. "No rest for the wicked, huh?" 
8:06 - "It makes it your case."
8:07 - The kid playing Bruce is quite a good actor with this crying scene. "There will be light. There will be light, Bruce." 
8:08 - "And shiny shoes." Bet that's important. "Be strong. I promise you, I'll find the guy who did this." 
8:09 - Hey, look, it's the butler. "Good luck, mate." 

Commercial Break - Kinda lackluster title slate. Kinda bored by it... Like I said, I don't know the DC verse. 

8:11 - The lead's partner is an asshole. Go away please.
8:12 - "Damn right, I'm scared." What happened between the cop and the special vic unit?
8:13 - Yeah, the partner can die. "The answer's no." 
8:14 - "She said you had to keep me, huh?" I like the lead. "You'll get used to me." 
8:15 - "How you doin'?" 
8:16 - Uh, does anyone know when this show 'takes place?' Like time period. We've met Fish. 
8:17 - Nope, now we've met the Penguin. 
8:18 - "Yes, my boys are watching a scary movie." 
8:19 - Yep, he's Penguin. GCPD? That's a mouth full, isn't it? "F-Fun." 
8:20 - If looks could kill. 

Commercial Break

8:22 - Who's this? And why do I sense a sex scene coming up?
8:23 - Yeah, I was right - the suit jacket came off. Wow, she's planning ahead quite quickly. 
8:24 - Really, he's not shirtless? But, hell, Gotham is pretty epic looking. 
8:25 - So confused. I think I need some backstory. And we met Poison Ivy. "So it will be a pleasant talk." 
8:26 - That's how you know something's up when the suspect runs. Weird camera angles - WTF? 
8:27 - Careful lead. The lead sucks at fighting. "Thanks." That is so illegal now. 

Commercial Break 

8:30 - Hey look, a gun. And the pearls. 
8:31 - I knew I didn't like those guys. Sure it did, Penguin. "That's beside the point." 
8:32 - That's Catwoman again. "You kept your promise. Thank you." 
8:33 - This won't end well. 
8:34 - "Yes, thank you, I know him." "Like I know you." What did that mean? "No." 
8:35 - Assholes. "Bastards." 
8:36 - "Why?" "To cover up the real killer." 
8:37 - "We killed him." A bullet wound to the shoulder killed him? Really? "Forget about it." 
8:38 - "I'm afraid he might lie." "He might." "You just did." "You'll have to wait and see." "I hate surprises." Well, Fish, you've got some skills. 
8:39 - You, asshole, you lied to his fiancé. You are in on all of this, aren't you, partner? 

Commercial Break - I'm not really into Gotham, you guys. Not really my scene, I guess. 

8:43 - Yeah, I'm happy I'm a vegetarian. 
8:44 - "That's what everybody says." Okay, so we have cell phones - so, late 90s, early 2000s. 
8:45 - "Cops." "I like you, you're funny." 
8:46 - "I feel this way, also." 
8:47 - Yeah, I'm done after tonight. "My little Penguin." "Thanks for trying to help." 
8:48 - Oh joy. But someone's to the rescue. Who are you? "She has to ask permission."

Commercial Break

8:50 - "Friendship?" 
8:51 - "Blood doesn't lie." 
8:52 - I hate businessmen, especially when it comes to organized crime. "Just like your father." 
8:53 - No duh. 
8:54 - Don't kill Penguin, he's like the only character I like and have sympathy for. Poor Penguin. He going to fire a bullet as a decoy.
8:55 - "I'll be your slave for life." "I'm clever that way." "I can be a spy." Good pretending on your part, Penguin. But he'll be back. 
8:56 - Oh, are we going to the Waynes mansion? And it looks like Bruce is going to kill himself. But stops himself. 
8:57 - "He was framed." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." 
8:58 - "I can only do that from the inside." "Your call?" That's his way of saying yes, lead actor. Hello again Catwoman. 
8:59 - He's back. And he just murdered someone, for food. Well, that's Penguin for you.

September and October Reaction Schedule!!!

It is now September the 4th - my mom has her first officially day of school with the students, and it's time to bring back my reactions. If you see above, I've created a banner to show I'm ready to start back up again! 

It's time to bring out the schedule, what to expect this 2014-2015 season! 

It will start:

September 22nd with Gotham and Sleepy Hollow at 8 and 9. I will be doing Sleepy Hollow each week, mainly because I FUCKING LOVE SLEEPY HOLLOW! And you'll get to see my first reactions to Gotham in a multi-verse that I have no business to be in since I'm not a big fan of the Batman franchise, but it caught my interest. It won't be every week because it is opposite The Originals. 

September 28th with Once Upon a Time and Resurrection at 8 and 9. My Sundays have been very...boring without something to watch. So, OUAT with almost likely be every week, depending on what is going on with the Frozen theme this half of the season. Resurrection will be every week - my guilty pleasure and I can't wait to see what happens with Bellamy and Jacob at the end of last season. 

October 2nd with Vampire Diaries and Gracepoint at 8 and 9. See a trend yet? Vampire Diaries will most likely be every episodes but just like OUAT, it will depend on the episode. Gracepoint is a new show (still have to watch Broachchurch first) and I'm very interested. Since it is only 10 episodes, I'll most likely react to each episode. 

October 6th with The Originals at 8. Same with Vampire Diaries, it depends. I'm interested in seeing what will be happening this season. 

October 7th with The Flash and Supernatural at 8 and 9. Now, The Flash is only getting a one episode reaction - the pilot, because I'm not totally interested in the Flash. So, it will be getting the first reaction and that's about it. I don't have high hopes for The Flash. Supernatural will be every damn week, okay! It's the 10th season, it could be the last - part me says, please be the last season but the other part is like, NO! - so, I'll be reaction to every Demon!Dean moment! 

October 8th with Arrow at 8. Most likely with every episode, again like OUAT, VD, and TO. Depends. 

October 22nd with The 100 at 9. I hope to react to every episode - after last season, I kinda regretted not reacting to The 100 more than I actually did. I want to do every week but it will depend on how much I write in one week. I'm already clocking up the posts. 

Before September even ends I'll be up to 200 posts. 

So, see you guys soon with reactions - it's going to be a fun year!
