Agreed on Lucius. And I'm definitely enjoying his interactions with his fellow genius..!

"Well, it's not as if Harv had a reason to have faith in Ed, right?"
Absolutely this, and he was so totally cool solving that riddle and I just feel so bad for him that it was under those circumstances - I mean, he's not psychic, is he? Couldn't have been expected to know Ed was technically on his side right then.

Lol I don't even know what to think any more about the writers' intent. I'd always say that suggestive gay stuff is never intentional, but at this point it's getting so blatant that I just cannot see how they can't have noticed and I do wonder if they're putting it in as fanservice, whilst making it ambiguous enough to be able to thoroughly no-homo if questioned. But seriously, that 'bullet in the mouth' exchange, ffs...!

At this stage I just really want all of Jim's exes to be done with that shit and steer clear of him. Give him a new relationship if they must, but retreading old ground is becoming pretty unhealthy. Also, Babs and Lee are both meant to be SMART - I just don't see how they'd go for it. (I can see how Babs might go for a roll in the hay for old time's sake, but honestly, the pregnancy thing is really annoying me. It seems OOC to me.)

"After Haven, they surely should have contacted Bruce's press contacts? Hundreds of people just died and the government is still stalling."
Yes, true. I guess they just didn't, for plot reasons. Pretty much every dumb illogical thing is gonna be plot reasons, basically.

"Re: Escape from New York. Guess I really have to watch that movie, eh?"
Haha it's a good movie! But, unpopular opinion here, Escape from LA (which is basically the same thing, but in LA and it's totally ludicrous and silly) is way more fun and I prefer it to the admittedly way higher quality original. Escape from LA is more Gotham :p

"I'm just wondering if Jeremiah's tunnel is the same tunnel we saw in 5x02. The location wouldn't really work with the map I made since they clearly dug that tunnel to go straight to Wayne Manor. "
It could be the same tunnel, or he could just have poached the tunneling gear (?) and dug from under the hotel he was in. That was in the posh area of town, so perhaps corresponds to the posh area across the water..? Or else it's a reallllllly long tunnel...

"Re: Martha and Thomas. My guess would be that Jeremiah tests them on Alfred first before he uses them against Bruce."
Well, you've been spot on about everything so far! I'm just not sure what exact function they're going to play aside from mental trauma...

Yeah, fair enough. I mean, you probably gather from my rambling comments that I'm not one for coming up with smart meta. I just happened to be watching it, and it struck a chord for me. Obviously, Jim is still a police captain rather than a mob boss, but it was the 'going against the powers that be in order to protect this city I love and everyone in it' thing that resonated with me, and I thought it was quite neat book-ending.
