Fox’s Gotham season four episode eight found Lee Thompkins assuming a position of great power in The Narrows and allowed Gotham fans the opportunity to see Cory Michael Smith as Ed Nygma do his best Robin Lord Taylor as The Penguin impersonation. Plus, Detective Jim Gordon finally came to his senses and took the necessary step and replaced Harvey Bullock as GCPD Captain.
