It just looked like a room to me, why would they put children in an immortality pit?

Good point.

That cellar looked nothing like Griffith Park.

I watched the episode last night on DVR and I'm still very much into the show. I think it's important to realize that this is a serial with many threads slowly unraveling over multiple episodes (somewhat like the Sopranos, for example). As such, some threads will get very little development in a particular episode and many things won't be nicely wrapped up and answered within a single episode either.

That said, some things I don't like so far:

• Fish Mooney's accent
• A somewhat uneven tone (the kidnappers felt a little more cartoon-y than most of the show has been)
• The heavy-handed fan service (Selina wanting to be called "Cat", every scene with Nygma so far, etc).

The big guest actors did ham it up in this episode as disposable villains. It felt out of place in this very grim take on Gotham. I think Selina might be the best aspect of this show, her appearance and behavior looks pulled from a fairly recent run in the comics. I am also pleased with the early results from the Penguin. I just hope he gets a monocle at some point.

I think the kid playing Bruce has acting limitations, which is a problem. The producers better hope he gets better as the series ages. I don't have a problem with the tact they have taken with Bruce's character. This is basically Batman-in-training and he is already starting his life's mission. He's not going to be like the other kids.

I imagine Alfred will grow softer as he becomes Bruce's father figure.
