I think the character of Jim Gordon has been a bit stale for most of the season but they are starting to make him more interesting . His relationship with Dr Tompkins is helping that because their chemistry is really good and her great performance brings out the great performance from Ben McKenzie.
There are allot of characters on Gotham but in my opinion only a few of them really matter at the moment, maroni and penguin are two more interesting characters because even though their evil I see a bit of good about them and their scents were really good in this episode. Bullock was good in the episode and it was cool to see that he is becoming more in depth and we are finding out more about him as the show goes on. The show somewhat introduced the character of the scarecrow in the episode even though they did it in a unique way. The villain of the episode was not the scarecrow from The comics but his son Jonathan crane is the character in the comics, so it seems they are building to him becoming the character. I thought he was an interesting character in this episode even though it seemed like he was a little bit of an afterthought.
The premise of playing on ones fear is really interesting because in real life everybody has a fear so it makes the show relate to you more then a show that tries to paint the characters as not afraid of anything. I enjoyed the majority of the story arcs this week even though I'm not sure fan of the whole enigma story mainly because the character is a bit quirky for me on the show.
The script was decent with quite a few decent comedic lines and a bit of drama to match.
The style still looks great but the action scene just haven't really got to that high a level yet on the show but I think they will improve by the time we get to season 2.
Overall this is actually one of my favourite episodes of the season and it was definitely fun to watch.
