Gotham Preview – S01E15 – The Scarecrow
By Steve Lam
Last week on Gotham, in the episode titled The Fearsome Dr. Crane, we met the homicidal Gerald Crane — father of the future Scarecrow. Cornered by James Gordon, Gerald was able to get away and continue his work in exploiting phobias. We actually got a good look at young Jonathan in this episode, and he seemed like a timid teenager who his father was grooming to take over the “family business.” I’ve already expressed my “fear” (pun intended) in having Gotham re-imagine the Scarecrow’s origins. So we’ll just have to see how they’re going to give Jonathan a compelling background, which is what they’re doing this week. Here’s the official synopsis for The Scarecrow:
"Gordon and Bullock set out to stop Gerald Crane, a biology teacher who has been harvesting the glands of his murder victims. Meanwhile, after finding herself in an unusual setting, Mooney continues plotting to gain power, and Falcone attempts to change Maroni’s plan for the Penguin. Then, Bruce takes a treacherous hike in the all-new “The Scarecrow” episode of GOTHAM airing Monday, Feb. 9 (8:00-9:00 ET/PT) on FOX. (GTH-115) (TV-14 D, L, V)"
And, of course, the exciting trailer for the episode:
Enjoy this week’s new episode, and check back with us on Tuesday morning for our full recap and review.
Fox’s Gotham airs on Mondays at 8:00PM EST.
