Ed choosing Isabella and Penguin killing her…predictable. It also makes me not want to root for Nygmobblepot.
Ahhh. I freely admit that the Nygmobblepot ship is probably never going to really sail and it’s about two horrible people doing horrible things. I didn’t expect a redemptive love story so I guess that’s why I’m okay with this ship being my current dark!guilty pleasure. But I also think it’s one of the best developed and most organic relationships on the show. If they weren’t so clearly villains then this could be a redemptive love story because Ed and Oswald make *total* sense together based on personalities and quirks and what they need from each other. (falling hard here, guys. not kidding)
Going along with your predictable theme: unless the writers *really* pull of a big twist (which, as much as I’m enjoying Gotham this year, it doesn’t erase the…bad…of the first two years) the ending to Nygmobblepot is pretty predictable. Ed will learn that Oswald killed Isabella and it will drive a gulf between then so that they never work together again, though out of affection and fond memories they’ll never seek to kill each other. I’ll decide how I feel about this when we cross that bridge.
