Like the others I'm willing to bet Jerome was on the bus. They just likely didn't want to get the actor for the ep
1. Paying for such a small appearance
2. Would take away from the stinger of the other Bruce

I didn't like the finale at all, which is disappointing because I thought they did a great job last week setting things up for it. This episode just felt really cheap. I know they're trying to keep things vague so they don't have to commit to characters, but the out of focus shots really didn't hide the cheap wigs and costumes they used. Everything at the end with the police losing the bus and nobody noticing a major bus crash and gunfire was pretty silly, even for Gotham.

Also, Fish coming into contact with Penguin but then just leaving him there is super weird. I know they probably want to stretch that out next season with her using him for whatever reason instead of just killing him, but it felt odd that she comes face to face with the person that killed her, he faints and then she just leaves him there. Even a simple "Come with me..." from Fish while Butch and the other gangsters run would have worked better.

Gordon and Fox had some good moments together in the elevator and trying to defuse the bomb though.
 
This show really has lost its goddam mind. The shot of the silhouetted monsters was a fucking Burton poster. It's time for the really freaky villains, like Humpty Dumpty, Mad Hatter, Manbat, Croc, and Ratcatcher.

I expected Butch to be happy at seeing Fish. I know they thought she was dead, but I thought Butch was her boy.

Well he did see her fall to her death and was the one that shot her. His experience with the dead coming back to life wasn't a good.

Disappointing finale but still the best DCTV show on air right now. Court of Owls, Brucey Clone and Jerome possibly back in the wild.

That was an interesting final, but I was expecting more of big boom kind of finish.
Gordon gets to do the classic evil twin acting challenge. Not a bad job being corny.
Finish it off by setting up season 3 with a bus full of fun walking into the Gotham night. It's totally open ended to provide all sorts of new characters and stories.

Really good season. They've found a nice mix of cheesy fun and crazy characters. Great show.
 
That's Jerome on the far right. Isn't is.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.
That was insane and holy fuck S3 is already off to the deep end. Gotham is definitly the best TV and superhero show that is currently airing. God, I am so hyped for S3. <3

They pulled it together well, but I can't help but think Fish has no place on the show anymore. Her influence ability I'm sure will become annoying.

I almost forgot Jada Pinkett Smith cannot act.

I actually think the opposite, she does a really good job on Gotham as Fish Mooney. It weirds me out that Fish Mooney and Niobe from the Matrix are the same actress because it's quite the range.

All around good season. A few stinker episodes but a good send-off to what will be an interesting season 3. Since Jim Gordon is leaving Gotham to go see Lee, will Bruce be put in the main character's seat? I'm hoping they pull something of a Batman year zero and have teenage Bruce begin saving people with combat gear on. He just wont have the signature logo and cape yet.
 
Not a fan of the finale. Some weird little things going on and I hate the fact that Mooney survived this one. She was garbage as a mobster and is still garbage as a fish. Screw that character.

I was actually angry, when I thought they had killed Strange (while Mooney got to live). But he magically survived the ice and fire attack, in true cartoon fashion. So weird.

I'm curious to see how the plot develops. Not getting optimistic about the next season, though, simply because I don't want to be disappointed. I don't trust them to pull off the magic of this season twice in a row.
 
Holy shit, what a finale.

Just...holy shit.

Clayface getting caught, the fact that no-one but Barbara knew it wasn't Gordon, that Strange survived getting blasted by both Fries and Firefly (ice and fire cancelling each other out was just...what the fuck. I can't even be mad at this, it was just pure amaze), clone Bruce.

A FUCKING GATLING GUN. WHAT THE FUCK. LOL at Butch legging it even though he as A FUCKING GATLING GUN.

Jerome! Sucks that Fish survived though. Not a fan, especially with how OP her power is.

And LOL at how they deactivated the bomb.

Oh bloody hell.

Best show ever. This isn't even in question any more. The jump in quality from season 1 is staggering. So crazily hyped for season 3, can't wait to see what madness they have in store.

I think Bullock was catching on but didn't put it together yet.

For a finale a lot of it just felt like setup for S3. We really didn't get much closure on anything. Sure the plot thread wrapped up but it was mostly "hey this is something you can look forward to"

I'm agree. Seemed more like a mid-season finale. Casually, mid-season finale of this year looked like a season finale.

At least, we don't have a ridiculous cliffhanger and have seen some villains tease.
