Maze and Trixie funtimes is exactly what I was hoping for when they agreed to move in together. I'm really glad we are going to have a human that actually believes Luci now. She'll have to recover somehow because I doubt such a major character is going to just stay crazy.

I wonder how many of Reddington's speeches you could have Tom Ellis say and have it fit in character.

I really couldn't interpret her reaction as anything other than completely unrestrained terror at finding out she's literally been giving therapy sessions to (and loving) the literal, honest to god devil. To be fair, it's a pretty drat understandable reaction. Doesn't make his clear disappointment, if not sadness, over it any less painful however. Poor Luci.

Bet she just chalks it up to being stressed out or something like that. If not, well she's seen that he's actually not all that horrible and has somewhat been putting effort into become a better devil, misguided as most his attempts are.

I mean, I'm going to cut her a little slack here. There's a reason Amenadiel was all over the whole 'humans can't have proof of the divine' thing when Lucifer had his wings stolen. She just had 'God is real', 'I've hosed the literal devil', 'I've hosed an angel', and 'I've hosed a demon' all dumped on her at once.

This show man, if anyone had told me that I'd be watching (and loving) a show where I can be made to actually feel bad about THE DEVIL HIMSELF 5 years ago, I'd have laughed in their face. Those feels man, when he realized he kinda blew her mind with the reveal. Even the demon face (which, god drat dude, how hosed up did you GET in that fall?) had a look of nervous longing like "Please accept me", and when it flashed back to Tom, you could see the heartbreak. God drat dude, the writers are killing it this season but Tom is loving DESTROYING it when it comes to acting. I'm hoping he wins an award or something, cause holy gently caress this dude can act. I'm pretty sure the Doc is gonna be a bit off her rocker, what with discovering that God/Devil/Angels/etc exist, but then toss in the whole "Oh hey wow I had sex with Satan willingly for like half a year" and here's hoping she's not catholic cause holy poo poo the guilt that has to lob back at you has gotta be major. Just gonna buckle my seatbelt and enjoy the ride though, they haven't let me down yet. Stupid_Sexy_Flander fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Nov 3, 2016 |

Holy poo poo this show is so loving good. When Lucifer started playing The Unforgiven and Amenadiel slowly and furiously comes to the realisation that he does not respect God anymore, drat. That was a good scene. I was hoping Tom Ellis would start singing tho, it's such a perfect song for grief and anger and he has such a good voice. It's funny to think back to when i started watching this show, i was thinking that this was gonna be about the big bad devil punishing people. Instead it's about the gradual humanization of Satan and for some reason it works so good. I'm not religious in any way, but it's still funny to catch myself booing God and rooting for the Devil.

I'm still dying to know what the deal is with Chloe's presence depowering Luci, or at least making him vulnerable. I'm hoping it's something like she's the last scion.

I do like the fact that they're not doing faux 'moral of the week then reset as if nothing happened' character development and actually moving all the characters along. Even minor supporting detective douche has off-camera had a huge dose of humility which has changed him a bit.

Do you think Amenadiel and Maze see Lucifer's true face all the time or just whatever form he currently uses? And the mom too. Cause I don't know how anyone could look at that face all the time.

This episode was a massive step up from the last one. Two episodes like that last one in a row and I'd probably have stopped watching, so I'm glad it was a fluke.Ville Valo posted:I'm still dying to know what the deal is with Chloe's presence depowering Luci, or at least making him vulnerable.

I don't understand what "the last scion" is in this context... google did not help. edit: It seems like it's either the last living descendant of Mary, Mother of Christ, or if you get all Dan Brown with it, the last descendant of Mary Magdalene/Jesus. But I don't turn up any results at all that are from actual, non Kevin Smith, non Dan Brown sources. Snak fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Nov 3, 2016 |

Even Dan Brown has some basis in his stuff, even if said basis is some obscure conspiracy theory. Scion wouldn't be out of place in equally obscure apocrypha.

Oh, weird, Chloe's dad is coming to the show, and he's being played by.... MAZE'S HUSBAND! (in real life, that is). Kinda wondering if they are gonna hook up and make out in front of Chloe just for the "EW ICK DAD NO" factor. Stupid_Sexy_Flander fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Nov 4, 2016 |

How can this show be so good? The acting is always fantastic. Tom Ellis really sells the not-as-unhinged-as-you-think-hiding-behind-the-wacky-or-am-I role spectacularly. Getting to see him try opening up to his therapist and watching his face as it went from hopeful to "that's what I figured" sort of resignation was great. No words, but you knew exactly how he felt in that moment. Trapped, knowing it would only make things worse, hoping beyond hope that he is wrong, then proving himself right and grudgingly accepting it without anger or malice. Also, the surprising relationship between Maze and Trixie. Maze is opening up, too, showing a side of herself that nobody else in the show has seen. It showed real vulnerability and humility for her to take that opportunity to put herself on the line and show he true face. It could have gone like Lucifer's reveal (oh my God, everything I believe is wrong), but the innocence of childhood trumps the dogma of professionalism. Both scenes were tear-jerking in their own way. And Amenadiel finally coming to terms with the fact that nobody knows what God wants because God doesn't tell anyone, even the angels, was poignant. He doesn't know that Uriel was so sure he knew exactly what God needed and that he was prepared to smite his own mother for it, but that could have easily been Amenadiel. Just think about what he did in S1 to "fall". He thought he was doing the right thing the whole time. Every single character is getting developed except Chloe. Even Detective Douche is getting a better arc. Suits me, she's the most boring person on the entire show. I never thought a show about sympathy for the devil would be my favorite show on TV, but it is. My second favorite is Supergirl, so take that for what it's worth.

I wish they wouldn't show Lucifer's devil face, or hire an artist that could make it scary. First time he looked like bacon, this time he looked like an amateur version of Freddy Krueger. Minor complaint though, I really like this show, especially the last two episodes.
