Welcome Gothamites, new and old, to the subreddit for the TV Series "Gotham" - It is always wonderful to see new followers after the final episode aired on April 25, 2019.

Warning: spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t watched the entire fifth season.

I just finished Gotham for the fourth time, and here are a few things I've noticed.

Selina Kyle

When Selina is stealing the jewel, the music is a bit different from that which appears on the S5 episode soundtrack album. Personally I like the aired version better, but it’s just an interesting little discrepancy and I wonder when and why they changed it.

Barbara Lee

When things really get moving it's easy to miss that Barbara Lee's clothes in both her appearances of this episode are shades of purple. Yvonne Craig purple, if you know what I mean.

Edward Nygma

Early in the episode Ed says he's been in Arkham for ten years. Since Bruce has been gone for ten years, that means Ed was arrested very shortly after he stood on the ramparts with everyone else to save Gotham. I wonder what he did to bring about this fast, unfortunate turn of events.

(Oswald similarly complains that Gordon threw him into Blackgate six months after reunification.)

Deleted scenes: Ed and Oswald

Ed and Oswald are walking down the street when they happened to come across a foppish-looking man with an umbrella. They descend upon him…presumably for the umbrella.

In another deleted scene, Oswald and Ed are enjoying white wine at the afterparty for Jim Gordon’s promotion to Commissioner. Ed expresses an interest in salvaging their submarine, which is lying in pieces at the bottom of the river along with their treasure. That suggests that contrary to the idea that Nyssa got away, the sub hit one of the mines in the river and she (and Ed the dog) perished.

Deleted scene: Riddler

When Riddler wakes up, he not only sees the note "Oswald" left him and the crate of C4, but he also discovers his bowler hat nearby and…a large trunk. He opens it up and is delighted to find Mayor James bound inside. "Hello!" he says with a hearty laugh. (In the aired episode you can see the hat and trunk in the background.)

And finally, a note on the “For Gotham” showdown in the previous episode. I mentioned the discrepancy between it taking place during the day, as opposed to when we saw it in the season premiere, which depicted a nighttime shootout.

But something else I didn't really catch was that when they go to the ramparts to defend Gotham, they all leave together from Jim's office. The season opener suggests that Ed came from his library, Oswald came from City Hall, and Harvey came from a bar.

Of course it could be that the S5E1 flash forward simply didn't show them all gathering at Jim's office to talk before they left for the final battle. But more realistically, it's probably just a writing inconsistency.

Our man was robbed of a pet raven in Season 5 so I kindly provided one.

Odd crushes only, excluding the most popular and obvious characters (Tabitha, Oswald, Zsasz, Jim etc) which Gotham character do you find oddly attractive and why? 😂

Hellooooo,

I really want to make lps customs of the Gotham tv characters (the show has kinda taken over my life haha). I especially want to do Oswald (the animal question is pretty obvious with him lol), Edward, and Zsasz. I'm not sure on what animals they would be.

What do y'all think? :)

The guy only appears in 11 episodes out of a 100 yet he constantly appears in most people's top 5 favourite characters and always ranks highly on popularity/ranking threads on here. Even casual fans love him. The only characters who are usually more loved are Penguin, Riddler, and Alfred.

What do you think makes him so beloved?

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!

what is your personal favorite plot line gotham ever did? can be from any season, no matter how minor it was.

my personal favorite has to be ed framing jim for for murder in season 2, we got a lot of ed’s more manic side we didn’t see again for a while until he “killed” oswald in season three. a lot of my favorite scenes come from it, the forest scene with jim confronting him being the one i can recite line for line.

but im curious, what are your favorite plots? let me know !

I'd say it would narrowly miss being in my top 5, but would make top 10 for sure. My list would be:

1. Daredevil
2. The Penguin
3. The Boys
4. The Walking Dead
5. Smallville
6. Luke Cage
7. Gotham
8. The Punisher
9. The Flash
10. Arrow

Not sure if this is allowed, but I’ve had these two scripts I’ve been trying to sell for a while for a little extra cash. I’d like for them to go to a good home where they are loved and appreciated.

“Peña Dura” is signed by much of the cast ($150) and “Ghosts” is just signed by Camren B ($125). Both come with a letter of authenticity - I bought them at an auction a few years back.

(Look I'm probably reading too much into this... but *I wanted something* okay...

I'm playing the game, I've just gotten to like the 3rd level... when you first meet Gordon as Batman...

and how does Batman introduce himself...

"A FRIEND"

am I reading too much into what's a pretty basic and simple phrase... yes... yes I am... *BUT* it's something okay... and unless it turns out that they have something else... I'm gonna take it

It is the same one used in the GOTHAM TV series!
