I didn't even realize this was a possibility until I read the news. There are a lot of fans and a lot of posts on social media so it was a shocker.frgildan posted:I'd love for them to figure out a way post cancelation of getting Lucifer on Legends of Tommorow. Kind of like Constantine he would be a great fit. Lucifer's cancellation is cause for sorrow But I'd rather see Etrigan on Legends of Tomorrow.

Should've kept filming in Vancouver. Also, Fox was apparently close to cancelling Lucifer last season because the ratings tanked compared to Season 1, and they were even worse this year.

This show is one of the most ill-conceived ideas of which I can think and it's a miracle that we got so many seasons out of it if I'm being honest.

So what's gonna happen to the last two episodes? Didn't Fox order 22 episodes this season, on top of the four held over from last year? So technically there should be two more.

If they'd loving moved the plot forward like this 20 episodes ago we'd probably be getting another series. I'm so mad now. Next season could have been so loving great with Chloe and Lucifer on the same page.

This season's stuff was enough for 13 episodes with some lulls that wouldn't detract much. Instead they stretched themselves thin and lost a chunk of their audience.

Looks like they honestly thought having this cliffhanger would increase demand for the next season and force it. Oh well.

Chloe should have learned the truth by season 2 at the latest; and then they should have leaned into the supernatural side of the show, instead of keeping it as the C plot.

I do agree, although the way it transpired in this finale was really really exciting and well executed. So I guess what I'm saying is make this dumb love triangle and the sinnerman plot resolve after a few episodes in the beginning of season 3.

It's a writer's fault for not knowing what to do with the episodes they have, and not their fault for having those episodes in the first place.

Great episode, though it's probably also partly the reason why the season was otherwise so dull - I figure they had written (at least the basic idea of) this episode first, then written the rest of the season to match the plot points touched upon in the finale, without realizing that those plot points couldn't carry the season on their own. They handled Chloe's realization pretty well, at least she accepted that Lucifer had been telling her the truth all along the moment there was some undeniable circumstantial evidence - with her seeing his devil face just being formality. I mean, given how they've handled her introduction to the divine so far, you'd be halfway afraid she'd just ignore suddenly being on top of a skyscraper, be surprised by Lucifer's devil face, and then the next season try to deny it as her seeing things due to extreme stress. It's certainly ending the show on a high note, after the rest of the season had been a bit of a wet fart.

When I saw the finale, I had a deja-vu experience with the finale to Forever - an immortal's true nature is finally revealed to his police detective partner. Just with more loose ends.

I definitely fist-pumped when the Dead Weather showed up as the music for the climactic fight scene. I mean, there were a ton of things I enjoyed about the finale and was in retrospect frustrated that didn't carry over into the other back half of the season, but that was awesome. Speaking of things I was frustrated about, I think the avclub's reviewer LaToya Ferguson sums it up pretty well but to paraphrase, it's that the finale really tied together the whole Sinnerman mystique into the person of Pierce really well in a way they didn't do throughout the season. You see that the bland, affable cop guy, the petulant ancient murderer, and the whispered-of mob boss are all the same person in a way that ties it all up together both plotwise and emotionally---which they loving needed to do half a season ago. So frustrating, especially now that this is the show's sendoff. I'm not even mad about it taking this long for Chloe to get in on it; it's just the whole Cain thing spun its wheels so long when, say, all along they could have showed him operating his dirty empire or something for dramatic kicks while spinning out the tedious Chloe/Cain/Lucifer triangle instead of dropping that entire thread for most of the season. Also Mazikeen said sorry to Linda and I was half expecting more of Pierce's goons to break down Linda's door, but nope they just patched each other up and hugged. Which was honestly fine. I was happy to see that almost more than any of the other story beats.

Did he finally reveal himself to Chloe in the finale? Season 3 ain't streaming here yet. --edit: yea seems they did.

I mean, there are still two more episodes left, both filmed and both designed to be standalone. So however monumental this cliffhanger was meant to be it would still have resulted in business as usual come next season. I'm interested in how similar the new status quo will be to the current one, but the fundamental problems that I know I have with this show -- too procedural, no pace on the overarching plots -- would probably have persisted into the next season. (Oh, and one of the episodes is focused around Ella, who I like, but I know people here don't? Anyway...)

Aleph Null posted:If only Lucifer had said "It's a long story." I miss forever too... Honestly I think forever deserved renewal for a second season more than Lucifer deserved a 4th. It was a great show and the procedural side of it was much better than average. If you're craving more Ioan Gruffudd, he is currently playing another crime solving forensic pathologist (not of the immortal variety however) in the really good Australian tv show Harrow. Season one is 10 episodes and it has been renewed.

I just randomly found the show and caught the first episode solely because of him. It was a solid first season and he was great in it.
