I gave up on Gotham a while ago. Is it any better?
Ditto.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm hoping for "Batman: Odyssey" Batman, myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's weirdly darkly OTT. But it's made me appreciate Cobblepot, and that ain't nothing.
I don't get any psycho-in-training vibes off of him. He's definitely focussed on finding his parent's killers, and learning discipline (I imagine he does already has Sun Tsu memorised), but he's far from pulling a full Winchester.
I gave up on Gotham a while ago. Is it any better?
I do think so. I kinda zoned out on the earlier episodes, but the more recent ones (even one heavily focussed on Bruce not being able to fit in in Gotham for shit) have compelled me more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I like Gotham fine for something to watch. But I don't have anything to say about it.

Is no one watching Gotham, or is it not interesting enough to discuss?
I'm watching, just caught up on this week. Sometimes I feel like this is some kind of AU Gotham where Bruce does not become Batman, but maybe they will pull off the progression, somehow. I really enjoyed that "can you teach me to fight?" exchange with Alfred.
I also like Selina's goggles, although this childhood relationship between the two of them boggles me.
I do feel like the show is generally getting better. Although I'm not sure I get exactly what it is trying to do, I have more of a sense that somebody does.

I'm sure I had stuff to say about The Flash and Sleepy Hollow, too, but I forgot. Probably someone else already said anything I would have come up with of interest by now anyway.

Starting to watch Grimm reminded me that I meant to comment on last week's Grimm - I appreciated the Alice in Wonderland touch of Adelind's baby turning into a pig.

Was there pepper?
I seem to think I can't watch shows too close to Supernatural in premise (well, Lost Girl had radical distinctions, but when they went MOTW, it left me helpless in laughter and limp in disinterest). -t, you are excused from the exercise, but how would other viewers draw a Venn diagram of horror and urban fantasy and place Grimm on it?
I'm sure I had stuff to say about The Flash and Sleepy Hollow
Flash feels to me like they're stalling with the long game mystery, but it's so damned cute and charismatic, I'm gonna keep showing up. I worry about the Iris subplot. It's frustrating, and her recalcitrance makes me worry I won't like her soon.
Sleepy Hollow: Katrina is still not cool, good lord. Her son is playing her like a Stradivarius. I don't get her net positive.
