Holy poo poo Montoya is the worst detective. She is pursuing a murder investigation against the only non-corrupt cop in Gotham, based on the word of the known criminal who ordered the murder and the eyewitness testimony of a homeless man she found on the docks. She does so despite there not being neither a body or a murder weapon because the victim, another of her informants, is actually alive without her knowing despite the fact that he has been living openly in the same city for what appears to be a week at this point. She does all this not out of any overt malice but solely due to her own incompetence.

Some future Montoya cases to look forward to:
  • Accuses a homeless man of insider trading of shares in Amnesty International.
  • A homicide in a local dive bar leads Montoya to place charges on a obstetric nurse based on the confidential disclosures of a heavily tattooed biker named 'Jackknife'.
  • Intensively questions a hot dog vendor in the street for two hours, while two blocks away a man dressed in a mosquito costume kills six bystanders with a novelty-sized hypodermic needle.
  • Arrests a city councilman based on information provided by a police informant, only for charges to be dropped after Montoya realizes the police informant was actually a singing trashcan she saw in a dream.

You forgot she's also pursuing the case in the hopes of restarting her romance with Gordon's wife.

Not just living in the city, but openly and actively rising up within the organization of the second biggest crime boss in the city, including frequent face-to-face conversations with said mob boss. He was also employed at the restaurant/known hang-out of that mob boss, where a incredibly visible and public armed robbery/homicide took place while he was present.

The Question is gonna end up being named for Vic Sage becoming obsessed with the question of how the hell Montoya has a job.

I really hope tonight's episode opens with Montoya getting kicked off the force being being a horrible cop and Bullock high-fiving Gordon for getting a bisexual wife (I realize that's stupid but it's something this stupid show would do).

Zsasz is such a good choice for this show. And penguin is walking a good line between driving the plot and still being funny. Honk Honk!

Holy poo poo, this is exactly the correct description.

And Gotham is still the unintentionally funniest show on TV. As the camera pulled away from Jim and Barbara through the glass window at the end, I was practically hyperventilating with laughter.

I'm not sure exactly how I feel about Penguin being a mole the entire time. It kinda made me like Cobblepot less. I was really enjoying his rise in the Maroni family. I'm sure we will see more but it just seems kinda spineless. I don't know maybe it's a good thing because it proves how crazy he really is and is going to get. Either way the show has definitely stepped it up fromt he first few episodes.

I like how during the shoot out at the police station, Gordon had to drop his gun after maybe six shots because he was out of ammo, yet Victor shot at least three times as many bullets from his gun without changing a thing.

Holy loving poo poo Barbara actually went back and became a hostage. Wow.

Dude Penguin robbed his boss then killed his guys. He has killed almost everyone he has had contact with. He is playing everyone against eachother. Dude is a legitimate badass.
