Can't wait!

 

[Sawyer]

Starts now, east coast.

 

[The Sage]

Whoa, Clay Davis!

 

[O'Haire]

That shot of Barbara in the bed was enough to annoy me and want to see her OD on those pills.

 

[Soxfan893]

I love how they're bringing in folks from The Wire...just like CW keeps bringing in Spartacus actors. 2 of my favorites!

 

[The Sage]

I like Leslie already. Time to ditch Barb, Jimmy.

 

[The Sage]

On a sidenote...no wonder James Jr. ends up crazy. Coming out of that woman? Sheesh.

 

[Donut]

Shouting didnt work. Maybe Gordon should try hugging it out next time

 

[The Sage]

Ivy just won the best moment of the show award.

 

[Donut]

Barbara just got punk'd by Ivy

 

[The Sage]

Dang Butch! That was something out of Goodfellas!

 

[Donut]

Well that happened

 

[Jesse]

Nice to see Isiah Whitlock from The Wire and Christopher Heyerdahl from Hell on Wheels show up. I've been looking forward to Leslie Thompkins appearing and I think Morena Baccarin is a good addition to the show.

 

[Sithborg]

Glad to see Gruber next episode. Hope he sticks around.

And the Ivy and Barbara scene was funny.

 

[Orb]

Gruber seems awfully close to Hugo Strange. Also i'm not one for jumping on bandwagons but... DIE BARBRA DIE!! Nobody can be THAT stupid!!

 

[kguillou]

Sigh...these network tv shows are so frustrating sometimes. They come back after a month off only to go on another break right away. Sometimes I wonder why these networks don't just wait so that they can air these shows uninterrupted.

 

[Kane52630]

Solid episode minus the Barbara/Montoya stuff. I really wish they kept Clay Davis around.

 

[flickchick85]

On a sidenote...no wonder James Jr. ends up crazy. Coming out of that woman? Sheesh.

This does explain some things, lol.

 

[Quasimod0]

This was an alright episode. I liked the new doctor lady. And Barbara is still making dumb decisions.
And I agree Gruber does remind me a lot of Hugo Strange.

 

[Kane52630]

Yeah, kinda...shocking that he is actually the Electrocutioner, honestly.


I do like the chemistry between Gordon and Leslie Thompkins. Sure, it's not anything like the comics with Leslie, but so what it works....plus she is pretty fine on top of that.

 

[EssayM]

Okay wait...did Barbara honestly just mistake a small child's voice for a grown woman's? And are they honestly playing that as a serious moment?

There are not enough facepalms in the world.

Thats what I got from it.

Big fan of the Electrocutioner tho!

The problem is that networks have to deal with their local broadcast affiliates that have their own priories as to broadcast schedules. Ten weeks is easier to coordinate then twenty.
