Gotham Season 3 Episode 14 "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies" Review

With Jerome on the loose with one Target in mind, Bruce and Alfred's safety is compromised, meanwhile, Gordon's Uncle Frank pays him a visit. And Nygma and Penguin are forced to confront their issues face-to-face with possible deadly consequences.

This was a really cool episode that really went down the way I was expecting it to go, but it still was really cool to watch everything play out. I really liked all the moments of just sheer and utter chaos that was going on around Gotham. And Jerome going in and taking Bruce was really cool with Bruce using Jerome's love of putting on a show to gain a few extra hours of his life for Alfred to go and get help. All of the boardwalk scenes was really great with the people who usually run the games now having to be a part of them, so like the guy who ran the shooting gallery now had to be one of the moving targets. Then the actual ending fight scene between Jerome and Bruce was really great but I kind of feel that there was a lot of moment where they forgot that Bruce broke his wrist to get out of the handcuffs. And I liked that the story for Bruce kind of ended with Bruce setting up the first one of his rules which were if he was going to fight evil he will never kill. Then the moments between Nygma and Penguin were kind of cool but also really kind of boring with all the things of Penguin kind of proving that he can actually love something. And I don't think Penguin is going to stay dead because they really just can't do that. And for having a chunk of the rest of this season be about Nygma becoming the Riddler is a really cool story but I really don't know what they can do to extend that story out. Because I love the Riddler to the bottom of my heart but he kind of is a boring character without a lot of substance to him to carry a story alone. So that is part of the reason I think Penguin will be back because a double revenge story could be a good story. And just overall this was a really great episode and I'm curious to see what there going to do when the show comes back in April.
