This episode was all sorts of disturbing. The cleaner at work with his, uh, "client", the ripped apart body and Barnes' roid rage, the face-stealing plastic-surgeon with the jar specimen, the librarian's transformation and murder, Barnes seeing the bloody faces on the party guests and his going Eliot Ness on Simon. I love the show and expect violence but this was a whole other level.

I didn't see anything wrong with it. It was intense, deep and dark, yet still entertaining. I have been glued to every episode since the show's debut but this season is so amazing. But we owe it to the actors, writers and producers who are making it this way.

With Barnes slamming Dr. Simon right through a wall to the street, how was it possible for him to live, much less long enough to gasp out that Barnes was the one who did it to him? Shouldn't his body have been crushed by the impact with the wall? But this is
Gotham
, and I've learned I have to suspend belief.
They were pretty rough, but they had something.
What was it?
I think it was the trousers. -

When I saw that through-the-wall bit, I reflexively channelled "The Boy Wonder", saying out loud to myself Robin's 1960s-esque likely response if he were to see that - updated for today's more hardened sensibilities:
"HOLY SH!T, BATMAN!!".
He would totally say that today, re that scene

I actually liked Barnes turning violent and start killing people brutally.

It was creepy in a good way. Barnes really owned this episode. He's been good all season, but Chiklis really brought it brilliantly in this one. He didn't quite have the heir of self-righteousness that he had in Season 2. I'm glad he took down his vitriol a notch. I loved his interactions with Jim. They seemed way more genuine than the ones he had in Season 2.

No, in both cases he killed people who were surrendering and he could have arrested. In both cases there was also evidence to put them away. There was plenty of evidence to put cleaner away for life of give him the death penalty. There came for Simon because they had DNA evidence on him. So both were unnecessary and the law had not failed.
Now, if Simon still got out again, that would be another situation. But at the time it was unjustified murder.

They still did the deed despite they were surrendering. Simon knew he would walk, so why risk it a second time? A criminal is a criminal. No innocents were killed as I stated. And even that douche that got his face cut up, he too was a criminal.

The ends do not justify the means, no matter how guilty the perp may be - that is one of the Gold Standards by which the criminal justice system operates and is implemented; and an edict that no one, Police Precinct Captain or other, is above.
I believe that by the the end of the series, this will prove to be one of the major laudable attributes recognized in Jim Gordon when he is eventually given the position of Gotham City Police Commissioner; and one of the major reasons that the adult Bruce Wayne puts his trust in Gordon, when he (as his secret unknown alter ego "Batman") becomes a uniquely deputized law enforcement agent under the auspices of Gordon.
