Once Upon a Time in Gotham: A Storify

September 23, 2014 Alice Wong

Since last night was the kickoff to the new fall season, I was tasked with watching the FOX network for two straight hours, with Gotham debuting and NOC-favorite Sleepy Hollow returning. Fortunately, I was joined by the lovely folks on twitter since I was live tweeting both shows on the official NOC twitter, using the hashtags #GothamPremiere and #YungGotham.

If you didn’t get a chance to follow along, here’s a Storify for my live-tweets of the Gotham pilot. Check back later for the Sleepy Hollow one. I’ve also highlighted some choice tweets below as well.

Appreciate how young Serena's looks aren't sexualized. #Gotham #GothamPremiere #YungGotham

Is James Gordon a man of means/privilege? So many echoes to Ben Sherman from #Southland. No complaints #Gotham #GothamPremiere #YungGotham

Fox gets it when it comes to diversity in TV. I need some of these other networks to step up and take notice. #Gotham #YungGotham
