After the Mid-season finale of "Gotham" Season 2, critics of the series have been expressing their opinions about episode 10. Some think that its finale episode has failed to follow through.
Screen Rant says that there are exciting things that came out from "Gotham" Mid- Season 2 Finale episode. Although, there are few things that critics didn't fail to notice. One of which was that "the episode largely dodges subplots in service of the grand plot of the Order of St. Dumas and its desire to cleanse Gotham through Bruce's demise." Considering that the mid-season was all about Theo Galavan's saga.
Skipping the details of the events of the mid-season finale of "Gotham" 2 and just hit the highlight of the review, the critic says that one of the big developments in the TV series is Leslie announced that she's pregnant. Obviously, putting this in the plot of Gotham is sort of pleasant surprise because in the comics Gordon got married to Barbara and started a family with her.
Things like these are already expected since "Gotham is keen to diverge from the source material." Knowing also the Morena Baccarin and Benjamin McKenzie are pregnant with their own child in real life, it is wise for the Gotham's creative team to include it in the plot.
So predictions of the upcoming episodes of "Gotham" Season 2 is that it is "possible that Gordon and Leslie will marry and decide to name their child in tribute after Barbara, thus setting the stage for their daughter to one day become Batgirl." However, no one could say if it has a high probability.
On a different note, AV Club reports the finale episode "Rise of the Villains: Worse than a Crime" of Gotham season 2, without a doubt, meant to be a big episode. It aimed for Jim Gordon to ultimately cross that line. According to the report, the episode wanted to be meaningful. In fact, and as obvious as it was, "the whole structure of the episode gives away the motive, which is to build to a shocking climax that, ideally, pays off a half-season's worth of character development, of Jim slowly slipping away from the morals that once defined him and becoming something else." But then, and sadly, critic said that it failed to follow through, despite it had a very "compelling character arc."
According to AV Club, "Gotham" Season 2 episode 11 was "built around an anti-climactic and rather contrived plot that involves the kidnapping of Bruce Wayne," although the episode is intended for Gordon to cross that said line.
