The Penguin Episode 6: Gold Summit (Spoiler Thread)

[DarthSkywalker]

Falcone is dead. Long live Gigante!

[Sawyer]

We got Kenzie in episode 4 and Bock in episode 5.

Dare I dream for another movie character this week?

It's Martinezin' time!
... Marzin' time? ... Martinin'...

You know, Officer Mustache time.

I would love that, but I’m still wondering where the hell the twins are.

I would love that, but I’m still wondering where the hell the twins are.

Yeah, although I don't feel that Batman is missing at all, I think the twins should have appeared in the last episode, when Oz gathered his gang to attack the Maronis.
In any case, that would have been the most natural time and place for them to appear imo.

 

[Sawyer]

Penguin stays ****ing up noses in every universe he’s in.

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Of course they'd end the episode like that! Whatever Sofia does next, it's no doubt going to send Oz on the warpath.

Well, further down the warpath he's already on right now. And of course she's using a crowbar!

Now that's an episode

So many highlights

 

[The Big G]

Oz delivering hit after hit after hit.

As soon as they showed Vic carrying a gun....I knew he was gunna cap squid.

 

[Boom]

Oh it's going down next week I see.

Little Easter eggs caught:

1) Oz does refer to the "Elliot bridge", a direct reference to Thomas Elliot's family (our lovely Hush)

2) Hady, although sort of a c-lister, is a recurring character from the civilian cast in the comics. He has been Gotham Mayor for the longest, even in Grant Morrison's run, for example (in the show he is a Councilman, as we saw).

Since it's an experienced actor - who also hardly would be justified being paid to appear simply very briefly - and since the role is known and of certain importance from the comics, I'm nearly 100% confident he'll still play a part till the finale.

[Boom]

I will say this is the first episode where I started to feel Batman's absence. Mob war brewing, new drug spreading like wildfire across the city, and not so much as a mention of him taking down dealers.

What a great rebound from last week's episode. This show is truly back.

The Sofia/Eve convo was incredible stuff.

 

[Sawyer]

I do feel like there’s going to be some explaining to do when The Batman Part II hits.

Like, he can’t just be helping with the aftermath. There has to be something else in play that’s keeping his attention from all of Oz’s ****.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

I don’t expect there to be any acknowledgment of anything in this show other than Oz being the big boss now, tbh.

Yeah, I don’t think we’re in for any sort of a recap or anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that Bruce has been on the trail of something bigger since the immediate aftermath of the first movie.

 

[flickchick85]

That Sofia/Eve chat might be my new favorite scene of the show.

Sofia must live!!!

 

[Snow Queen]

Normally I'd just say Batman is somewhere else in the city dealing with something, but between the emphasis on the state of the city, the seemingly short time frame between TB and TBPII, and the marketing for this show emphasizing that he's not around at all with fake Gotham Gazette cartoons, I'm currently betting on Bruce taking up the mayor on her thoughts and is out of the city pulling a No Man's Land, trying to shore up federal assistance.

Here's another one that fans of The Long Halloween should remember: Donald "Donny Boy" Sullivan.

Donald Sullivan (New Earth)

Donald Sullivan was the older brother of Mickey Sullivan. The two lead the Sullivan Crime Family, based in Gotham City. Donald, Mickey, and several members of The Irish Gang were hired to kill Harvey Dent by Carmine Falcone. The gangsters attempted to kill Dent and his wife with a powerful Nail...

[flickchick85]

Yes, this is the first episode that's made me feel like they will actually be explaining Batman's absence from this show when the movie comes around. Before this, I didn't think they would or had reason to.

 

[Stringer]

Sofia and Salvatore scheming and toasting over expensive wine while Oz and the other kingpins toast over beer. Nicely done writers

 

[3rdstone]

Damn, that's a cliffhanger. Great episode all over.

 

[Sawyer]

 

[Sithborg]

Dr. Simp living up to the name. I look forward to seeing how Sofia kills him.

Vic stepped up to the plate. And surprisingly did a good job at it. Oz being so proud of him was good.

With how the showrunner was talking about the Eve and Sofia talk, my need for a Sofia and Selena meet up has greatly increased.

The whole "gold meeting" was great. And how it worked out with such a simple audio cue, I love it. Just the cracking of a tab.

And Sofia is about to go all Jason Todd on mama Cobb.
