It's kind of remarkable what Gotham can do when it cans its case-of-the-week villains and doesn't engage too heavily with the Batman canon.

The hour unfortunately left me feeling more bored than excited to go on the Fish or Jim adventures.

It wasn't the most amazing drama and action to ever grace television, not even close, but it was 45 minutes well spent.

Gotham's leaving for six weeks straight, and "Everyone Has a Cobblepot" closes with a devastating reveal.

This time out, the series leaned into its larger-than-life tendencies, however, and it paid off.

Luckily, "Everyone Has a Cobblepot" managed to stay a strong episode throughout by doing what Gotham does on its best days - it stayed really, really weird.

This was one of those rare episodes where every plotline traces back to an earlier episode, rather than the typical introduce-then-forget-new-characters formula the writers are so fond of. Gotham should try this method more often.

After reaching a near-breaking point with last week's eye-popping episode, "Everyone Has A Cobblepot", is a nice return to some steadiness.

As more of a fan of the Nolan approach than, say, the Tim Burton or the old-school TV show versions, I appreciated the realism of most of this particular episode. It had a hardboiled detective novel or movie sense to it that really worked for me.

Using Commissioner Loeb as a big target, "Everyone Has a Cobblepot" brought together Gordon, Dent, Bullock, and Penguin for one unified adventure that felt good.
