A game changer in the crime underworld and we see the job interview of a lifetime that would put "the Apprentice" to shame.The premise of this episode is the fight between Maroni and Falcone for control of the "Arkham" project, that had also been in the interests of the Waynes. Penguin is trying to rise up in the ranks and has to deal with a very irate Gordon, who isn't too pleased to see him. Meanwhile Fish Mooney is looking for a "secret weapon" in her own personal mission to take down Falcone.
I do like this episode, but I'm not to fond of the villain. This sharp spike weapon freaked me out, but I can look past this and say it is great to see the dynamics between the crime bosses and their mobs. The auditions for the singers "Mooney's weapons" are really quite interesting to observe how well she has planned to take Falcone out. As for the dock scene near the end of the episode, it made me laugh and remember the scene in The Dark Knight, where Joker has two people fight for the position in his gang with a halved pool cue. Nygma is getting more lines and I'm loving the condescending and patronising tone he uses when he talks to Bullock.
What I am also enjoying is the progression Cobblepot is taking to become the crime boss we know he is in the comic books. Last episode it was blackmail, this week it's manipulation. He is moving people in a game that will cost the city dearly and it is just so flawless. He is one of the best characters in the show.
Overall, despite my complaints about the assassin and his method of killing (due to me being a wuss), this episode is strong and is getting to be quite the remarkable series.
