"The Fearsome Dr. Crane" is an example of Gotham I'd like to see more of.February 03, 2015
Here, Gotham demonstrates a level of self-awareness I never realized the show was capable of.February 02, 2015
"The Fearsome Dr. Crane" was clever, creepy, funny on purpose, deliberately disturbing (instead of thoughtlessly so), and graced with an excellent villain-of-the-week.February 03, 2015
There's not much in the way of his family history or how Dr. Jonathan Crane came to take on the terrifying [Scarecrow] mantle. With the character's introduction on Gotham, that will finally be made clear.February 03, 2015
Gotham's status quo may be actively changing, but for now, "The Fearsome Dr. Crane" just feels like a skittish step back.February 02, 2015
You can not keep doing this, Gotham! You can not keep taking all the names of super villains we know, swapping out the first name and saying it's their cousin!February 03, 2015

This week was about coming back to earth, and coming to terms with the show's strengths and weaknesses. Gotham is a far cry from a great drama, but it has decent building blocks that could one day get it to that echelon.March 30, 2015
The main plot, then, was a deftly crafted Gotham procedural with a memorable baddie and a sense of macabre fun... but there was so much more to savour as well.
