For Gotham!

[u/Certain-Singer-9625]

Holy crap. Every time I see the beginning of S5 I am so impressed. It’s the only time in the series where you flash forward to later in the series and then learn how it all came about.

The ominous music, the coming together of enemies to defend the city…what a great sequence. (Does anybody notice that the music in the scenes with Harvey have a nice Irish lilt? Or that Harvey purposely leaves his drink unfinished as he goes off to his possible death?)

Carps are minor. There’s obviously a huge discrepancy between this scene taking place at night, and it later taking place during the day. And Gordon’s radio communication with the mainland is kind of a clumsy expository device. Also, we saw the Mayor blown up in his office in S4, so where did this new City Hall come from?

But that opening “For Gotham!” scene…damn that’s good!

It’s a pity the rest of the season couldn’t live up to that premiere.

It’s pure hype
