Picture this: you’re Gotham and you’re stuck in this pickle of a storyline because it’s very Jim Gordon ( Ben McKenzie)-centric and Jim Gordon, as he has evolved the past three seasons, freaking sucks.
Taking back his position in the police force is a real and tangible step forward, but the first of many small steps that Jim Gordon must take to put his life back together.
In “Red Queen,” Gotham decided to throw a bunch of monster LSD in Gordon’s face and let the trippy adventure down his mental rabbit hole speak for itself.
Back to Jim’s self-help acid test: it also makes the not-so-good list despite the solid outcome that hopefully puts Gotham back on track story-wise.
