This is what the show runner had to say about that character:I haven't watched last night's yet. For the second week in a row, Fox wasn't working on my cable box on Monday night.

yo yo ma!
help me out yall. just read thru 3 show recaps trying to answer this question....
I can't remember exactly how Fish ended up in the prison. she was on the boat....and it got raided by someone......
I'm not sure if I fell asleep and never finished the show or what. I can't remember what happened, who raided the boat, and how she ended up in the prison.

Don't believe that was shown; you saw what everyone else saw (including Fish).

yeah.....looked last night and saw that I still have the last 4 episodes so I went "fishing". hahaha. captain got shot and a militant dude walks in and he and Fish charge each other and.....nothing..... the end.
then she wakes up at beginning of next episode in the prison.

Did Season 2 come out already because their was a stream for the first episode.

So... I have been enjoying this season, and especially the emphasis on the expanded story arc as opposed to a villain of the week setup. Jerome had made an excellent young Joker character... Everything: the laugh, the insanity, and channeling some very Ledger like elements (in fact, why not give this kid the role in the movie as opposed to whatever Leto is supposed to be)...

Yeah I agree, don't know why they killed him off. He would be a good character to come.

Yeah I was shocked.

hmm....even though the cat is out of the bag 2 posts up....

that kid is just TOO DAMN GOOD to be gone for good.
no way they don't bring him back!

Detective Gordon becoming more vigilante by the day...

I'm still digging this show.
love how Bruce is changing.....becoming hardened.
Gordon too.
I still just can't believe they got rid of the joker kid....but....interesting where Galavans body ended up. they have "plans for him". well I'm hoping the joker is there too.

It's pretty solid, I don't think it's actually as well liked as I thought it would be by the masses.

Really enjoying this show. Expected to hate it, but was pleasantly surprised.

yeah...I figured since I'm digging it that "the masses" maybe wouldn't. I march to the beat of my own drummer. :D

it's cool and very surprising the violence in this show.
man....the end of the last episode....on the one hand I thought it was pretty damned cool Gordon shot that punk. on the other hand....I'm worried they'll "take it back" next EP and we'll find he didn't really shoot him. hope not! not taking out that flamingo weirdo cost that rookie cop her life.

they have just GOTTA bring back joker. he was my favorite. that crazy laugh.... ROFL

I don't think Gordon shooting him made any sense - for Gordon. I mean, nice beat late in the episode, but that's not Jim Gordon. I'm not sure what they're doing at this point. But I still like it.
