Gordon declares Galavan enemy number one in an uneven, yet entertaining episode of Gotham.
This Gotham review contains spoilers.
Tonights episode ended with Gordon all-out declaring war on Galavan to his face.
Yes, this is a stupid move, but it is also an unexpectedly bold one for the show.
Its fitting that Oswald and his mothers final words would be so defined by denial.
There relationship was the same way.
They loved one another, but Gertruds perception of Oswald was so incredibly skewed.
Her final words to her son?
You were always such a good boy.
In denial to the very last.
Also aggravating was how stupid Penguin was in this episode.

Penguin goes after Galavan.
That being said, Galavan continues to be one of the highlights of his season.
And it doesnt hurt that James Frain is an exceptional actor for the role.
In Frains hands, he becomes one of the best parts of the season.
(Selina is trying to keep Bruce alive, while Silver is delivering him to the slaughter.)
Im glad Selina hasnt let go of this moment anymore than I have.
This storyline and Selina, in particular also has dramatic irony on its side.
We know that Selina is right to have issues with Silver, even if Bruce doesnt.
Nygma turns full-on Riddler.
Nygma spends the episode trying to find the body of his dead girlfriend: Ms. Kringle.
Eventually he does, but the reality of almost getting caught causes him to embrace his darker side.
No more Mr. Nice Nygma.
Nygma is so often left to his own devices.
