Well this is the end of the Ogre Arc and the villain himself and while it is a damn shame he had to go because he was so good I think he left a lasting impression. I just really liked his mind games that he played with Barbara; he didn't inflict much physical damage on her but he still broke her down. I also liked how the Ogre was killed because he was really brutal seeing his head snap back as he was shot (just one example of how graphic this episode was with it's gore) and his fight with Gordon was great. Of course like always Barbara was a real let down because her whole subplot with the Ogre didn't really lead anywhere in the end and that she actually chose her parents to die was just sick, even if she did hate them. I know she obviously has been through a lot but with this latest development she is being really unredeemable and she just keeps getting worse and worse. The writers just don't know what to do with her and I hope she soon gets written out of the show and Leslie stays as Gordon's love interest because as I said before she is way better. Plus I knew they wouldn't show any bondage stuff between Ogre and Barbara so it was pointless teasing in last episode but I was surprised by how much we saw in the brothel with Bullock which was such a funny scene lol.
As for everything else again Penguin shows that his plans are always more elaborate then we think with his plan to actually kill Falcone than Maroni; how he used the hit men was really unexpected and now he has started the gang war he wanted. Maroni was always great in this episode (though he always is when he is on screen) and the scene where he is shooting Falcone's men with his gang in slow motion was done really well. Then there is Nygma trying to dispose of the cop's body which like the Ogre's death and the severed head was really graphic than I would have thought and it was amusing that he hurled the body through the GCPD! I am really liking his moments with Kringle because I think the relationship between them has been developed well which might be because it has been happening for a lot of episodes now. You know I have read some opinions online that some believe Kringle may become the Nygma's sidekick when he becomes the Riddler kind of like Harley and The Joker and I think giving the Riddler a female partner would be a nice twist to his character. Speaking of the Riddler it was so awesome that Nygma actually left a clue in the letter to Kringle because that is what he does with his victims in the comics and it felt like a real first step towards the Riddler in Gotham. Finally there is Bruce's subplot which didn't really have that big of a revelation because it was kind of obvious his father must have known about the companies' shady dealing to some degree however it was worth it all for the debut of Lucius Fox and I hope we see more of him because he is a great character to work with.
Overall I great end to the Ogre Arc and I am expecting big things for the finale next week now that we have got a gang war.
