Started watching Blacklist on Netflix. James Spader is fucken awesome. I can't wait to see how he is gonna portray Ultron in the next Avengers movie.
Now I just need to finish this season so I can watch the new season which started.
Also saw the pilot for Gotham. Not bad, it made a decent effort telling us this isn't about Batman but about Gordon and I suppose you can see it as a way for us to really find out why Batman is needed in this city. Why he one day shows up and starts beating up criminals left and right. They even start off the first case as the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne so they can introduce Bruce, Alfred and some of the other characters.
Plus we see the rise of some of the villains as well as the heroes too. Poison Ivy was shown as a little girl, Penguin as a rising mob figure. Even The Riddler was shown as a CSI tech geek who was annoying as ever trying to show off how smart he is.
All good stuff but not strong. Needs to start picking things up quick if they are to keep the interest of the audience beyond the novelty of a Batman prequel before Batman.
