The Penguin S1E04 Watch A Long
Added 2024-10-14 19:46:48 +0000 UTCHey Peaches! Prepare yourselves, this episode is intense. But also, should win Cristin Milioti an Emmy. This is, possibly, the best Batman villain origin put to screen.

I went Team Sophia HARD after this episode.

2024-11-06 21:03:27 +0000 UTCIn the context of this story, I still don't directly see Sophia as a villain. This series has done a phenomenal job of rich story telling, it's mindblowing to me that we've had this standard of quality all throughout the last 4 episodes, and there's 4 left - you just know that they're going to be incredible. I'm not sure who I'm rooting for the most, Oz or Sophia.. After this episode it wouldn't be bad if Sophia really did kill Oz, since everything that happened to her - being ratted out in the first place by him and framed, then losing her brother to him, I'm really feeling sorry for her. I don't know if I can rate this episode anything other than a solid 10, it almost feels perfect.

2024-10-16 11:43:39 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible and harrowing episode. I didn't expect that ending, but man, she went full Joker there! And it was justified! Plus, we got backstory into how Penguin betrayed her and rose in the ranks, and where she found out about Bliss. Very efficient storytelling here and I LOVE IT. I'm not sure if she's in the comics, but Summer Gleeson (RIP) was the main news reporter in Batman: The Animated Series. I think this is her first live-action appearance?

2024-10-16 00:07:04 +0000 UTCThe moment I saw her peeling off that wallpaper, I immediately thought of a short story aptly named ‘the yellow wallpaper’. It’s also a story about feminine horror, such as this. Probably not what they were going for, but still an interesting thought
