Milo Ventimiglia is back as The Ogre on the second to last episode of Gotham season one.
Here’s our review…
ThisGothamreview contains spoilers.
I wont waste your time with too much preamble this week so well get right into it.
Park Row
The best thing about The Anvil or The Hammer was the ending.
And no, that isnt snark or sarcasm.
It was a great ending.

Ive felt in recent weeks that the Penguins storyline had run out of steam.
The Penguins plan has turned out to be rather masterful.
Why take out either of his enemies when he can let them eliminate each other?
Oh, and setting the onset of the gang war to Boiling Point by The The was pretty awesome.
Oh, and the tune the band is playing in Penguins club is Do the Dog by The Specials.
That tune deserves better than it got.
Harvey Im about to violate departmental policy on interrogation techniques.
Ben McKenzie is always a bright spot on this show.
But steely, badass Jim Gordon is always my favorite Jim Gordon.
But that line was special.
Theyve both earned that.
You know what else was great?
Is it the utterly hateful Barbara or the completely insufferable Miss Kringle?
I was going to kill you, the Ogre told Barbara, as the audience edged forward hopefully.
I saw something you, Barbara.
Because not a single member of the viewing public has!
Sadly, Barbara lives to annoy us another day.
Not on the slab, where actual police investigation work would be going on.
But in the sink.
Everything surrounding the Kringle/Nygma arc has been thoroughly insulting.
This is a character who I would actually like to see explored in future seasons.
I particularly like that Alfred is ready to kick some ass when Bruce says he went to Bunderslaw.
What did he do!
Not what did he say?
Not why did you go there?
Alfred just immediately assumes the worst and is ready to break some skulls if this guy has hurt Bruce.
I really like Sean Pertwees Alfred.
I spotted Robin, some Catwomen, Two-Face, and Bane.
There were probably more.
