My SO wanted to watch the season premier of "Big Bang Theory" instead It had some funny moments, but most of the jokes were even more awkward and/or forced as usual.

So how was Gotham? I'm looking forward to giving it a shot, and I don't want any spoilers besides the obvious ones due to the fact that it's a Batman prequel minus Batman.

Don't be a dick. He asked for no spoilers. You want him to fish through 8 pages of what happened in the show to find out if it's good?

It's an in-game thread which I am sure is rife with spoilers.

Yeah I was kinda curious myself but also don't feel liking going through 8 pages of spoilers.

It wasn't a bad pilot at all and I think it'll end up being a pretty good show.

I looked at the other thread last night. At the time I looked, about 80% was positive and 20% was negative FWIW.

Best way to describe it:

People need to remember it's a cop show, but with Batman characters.
And it's done by Fox, so TTFWIW.

pretty much this

they need a better overall plot/arc than watching bruce wayne. this show can't be more than a 3-4 season show, which means they'll f it up

It's hard to say, but overall looks like it could be good. Pilots are difficult for me to judge because I am not invested yet.

I saw previews and I keep picturing Jim Gordon as a poor kid who ends up moving in with some rich people from The OC

Ryan Atwood is the GOAT. When he jacked up that convict in the beginning, I flashed back to him throwing down with that gay bully from the OC.

I actually liked it quite a bit. It sets up about how I imagined it would. We got a pretty good dose of Bruce and his tragic story right off the bat, and they introduced more Batman characters than they probably should have in the 1st episode. But I thought it was still a good pilot, and the show definitely has potential. I'll agree with some who think it may be hard to run this series past 3 to 4 seasons, and hopefully they don't try to (unless they can come up with some fresh directions to take the show in the future. But overall I liked it a lot better than the Agents of Shield pilot (or any of the 1st half of their season). But just like AoS had the potential to get better (which they capitalized on), so does Gotham (which has the potential to be really good IMO).

I had 2 shows recording at the same time last night as the premier so I couldn't record it. But I did see that they will be replaying it on Friday night (looks like they might do that for every episode as well)

I liked it. Most pilots are a little off for different reasons. I think this could turn into a really cool show.

I enjoyed it actually and I forced my girlfriend to watch and she liked it as well. It's set in the present apparently because they were talking about phones and what not. I think the only way you can make this show go past 3 or 4 seasons is if you make Bruce Wayne older and go into future more
