’Gotham’ 3.02 ”Burn The Witch” Review: Poison Ivy Grows Up

#5 – Valerie & Gordon’s Progressing Relationship

Last week, I talked about how clear it was that the show was setting up a romance between Gordon and Valarie. What I was not expecting though was to see the two of them get to that stage so fast after just one week! This is a show that has 22 episodes so naturally, I expected the pacing of their relationship to be steady, not too fast or slow. But at the same time, we are dealing with a Gordon that has gone all “bad boy” (which has its ups and downs for sure) so at the same time, it shouldn’t be too shocking that they started making out at the end. What was a cliché though was that Leslie just happened to return to Gotham City as this was happening, meaning that despite Gordon and Leslie not being together, tension is coming, but we will see how this all plays out. Although, at least we didn’t get a awkward scene with Leslie just walking into Gordon’s appartment while he was making out with Valarie, so hurray for that!
