@Frederick:
ith (Riddler) are both liberal moonbats - especially Smith.. there are other major problems with "Gotham".
The show is basically an ongoing soap opera.. with flaws. They keep bringing in new characters and plotlines.. that are never developed or completed. They wind up killing off the characters and plots.. and bringing them back to life, and re-hashing plots. I could spend hours giving examples, but if you have seen the show… you know.
That shows ratings have gone steadily down.. and are now the lowest ever. The blogs about the show say they want to keep the show going so it can be sold in syndication. They are wrong. Only TV shows where each episode can stand on it's own work in syndication. Any "soap opera" style show that is continually growing only make sense if shown sequentially without skipping around.
To be blunt.. the show is loaded with potential.. that never goes anywhere. I try to watch it, but it puts me to sleep now.
Not sure what your watching but your thinking is old, very old.
Ratings for network TV are down for all shows. Do a yearly comparison for any and all network shows to see each one is losing audience share. Why? Because now we can record TV shows, catch them later on Netflix or Hulu, binge them, torrent them, stream them. TV production companies have to look at several metrics to decide what is failing/succeeding now. One thing is for sure, critical response to Gotham has only gotten better over time. You're the first person I've seen online who's not into this new season.
Syndication, like ratings, has changed. Traditional syndication already works in serial format. The new "syndication" is on-demand streaming and rentals – and Gotham already hit their 100th episode mark, so they're all set.
Gotham will most likely get a new season. They've put a lot into developing these characters. The show really does feel like a comic book -- it's fantastic. (I'm not happy with dark Bruce atm, but it's a necessary step.)
