The Bad...
4. Psych! Barbara Is Alive
Well, not technically kicking; shes in a coma. Her time came but somebody didn't synchronize their watch with the others. What would have been a worthy death of the villainous vixen ultimately became a meaningless moment of momentary shock. Look, Im not the type of monkey who hated Skyler in Breaking Bad simply because she was a woman who was looking to protect her family from the hero that was the meth-making murderer Walter White. Dont think I feel this way about the revelation of Barabaras survival simply because shes a female. Its because she was especially poorly written in the first season and her descent into madness was an unconvincing slapdash of a manouevre that interested absolutely nobody. The Ogre symbolized a lot of what was initially wrong with Gotham and Barbara, her character and her appeal, suffered the most. Barabara was actually an important member of Galavans cabal, due to her connection to Gordon, and provided some memorable moments. But she was still the crazy ex who was now super into bondage because you apparently need to be insane to want to have candle wax dripped onto your nipples, making your chest look like a sad KKK party. When her story was clearly, mercifully, heading to a desired climax which would have signified a turning of the page for the show and its main protagonist, we all cheered. Barbara nearly went out with a bang but it was merely a fizzle.Shes alive and I am holding out hope that she is going to turn out to be anyone but (shudder) Harley Quinn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEFO10kFCJU
