TV Review - Gotham "Spirit of the Goat"

In this episode, we learn Gotham’s Golden Rule - no heroes.  Intentionally ironic, considering the number of heroes and villains (well, mostly villains) whose backstories are being developed in this series!
Jim Gordon’s cynical partner Harvey Bullock is disturbed when someone begins murdering the firstborn children of Gotham’s richest families, with the same modus operandi as a serial killer he shot and killed ten years previously.  We learn more about Bullock’s background and character in this episode - his former partner, Dix, tells Gordon that Bullock likes to think of himself as a 'white knight.'  A raised eyebrow moment indeed!  

Also, am I the only one who sees the uncanny resemblance of the Gotham Goat’s mask to that of a certain future hero? (Bruce seemed very interested in his flair for the dramatic...)

Of course, it wouldn’t be Gotham without some drama on the side.  Gordon’s fiancée, Barbara, is haranguing him to share his burdens with her - and when that proves ineffective, she goes to her former lover, Montoya, and learns that Major Crimes has just gotten a warrant for Gordon’s arrest, having found a witness who “saw” him shoot Oswald Cobblepot.

Meanwhile, the Penguin himself has returned to his maternal home.  His mother immediately begins browbeating him about not calling her and spending time with mysterious whores; then she runs him a bath, and they begin discussing his revenge in a far too intimate manner.  Mommy issues, anyone?

Bullock, proving he used to be a good cop, successfully determines the true villain behind the Gotham Goat killings (which I won't spoil but is brilliant) When he brings his findings to the Captain, Major Crimes marches the recently-arrested Gordon into the station.  The Captain and Bullock are up in arms, and Gordon is loudly proclaiming his innocence - when who should walk into the station but the erstwhile Oswald Cobblepot himself?  (Bullock did not take that very well, that's for sure!) I can't wait to see what happens next!
Tune in tonight for more Gotham gossip and gore!
