I’ve recently committed to watching Gotham with a long distance friend of mine that I met over spring break in New York City. I’m still only on season one, but it’s been an interesting experience only one week in with watching this show. I feel that there are stages viewers (like you) experience when deciding to make this unbreakable vow … And yes, these quotes are actual statements from my friend and I over the course of the last week.
P.S. This also contains spoilers about Gotham if you plan on watching the show
1. Picking the show
“Are we watching The Flash or Gotham?” “I don’t know, you pick it”
2. You’ve picked the show, now it’s time to watch the pilot and see if it’s worthy of your time
“LITERALLY EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW WAS ON LAW AND ORDER: SVU, I LOVE IT”
3. The phone call after the pilot that contains your thoughts on how the show is going to go
“Holy crap, that was awesome”
4. The inevitable point where one of you has a day off, so you binge to the point when you’re six episodes ahead
“THIS IS AN INTERVENTION YOU HAVE A PROBLEM” “Sorry that my classes got canceled due to snow”
5. And they don’t let you forget it….ever
“*insert character name here* just got shot” “no they didn’t” “yes they did, you HAVE to catch up”
6. You end up on the phone at all hours of the night with the show on as background noise
“I love how I’m looking up ticket prices for the All Star Game as James Gordon is telling someone off”
7. You start planning the next series, even though you aren’t even done with season one
