I liked him playing the vocal melody from King of Pain by The Police while Decker was tailing him. Cute touch.

I can't say I was expecting it, but I'm not surprised. That twist is way too common. On the other hand, I'm definitely interested in what Decker's going to do now that she's seen him doing his crazy devilface thing.

This show will be my guilty pleasure, the devil made me say it. That's a pretty cool video, I like that they know they aren't going to be able to do a close following of the comics and are trying to do something relateable and not insanely ambitious. Yeah, it ain't high-class or high drama, but it's certainly a lot of fun.

It kind of seems like, for all his talk of being charming, Mazikeen and Amenadiel are much more skilled manipulators.

Titan posted:Oh poo poo, I didn't even make that connection. Wonder if they realized it when they gave the black Angel crow wings, and the white Fallen Angel the more traditional white feather wings. Amenadiel seems like a different kind of angel. More of a messenger and enforcer, so it makes sense he'd have a different kind of wings. I doubt Lucifer's big flashy wings are sharp enough to justify putting to someone's throat. Oh maybe black is just more his style. He wears a decent amount of it.

Zebulon posted:Is there anyone who has doubts that he set the fake pair on fire? That thing with Maze and the feather makes me think he torched the real ones. Amenadiel could probably tell from how close he was while punching Lucifer, too. I loved the taunting while Amenadiel was working him over. "Fall as I did!" is a pretty twisted way to taunt an angel.

ShakeZula posted:Interesting that while Lucifer's charm powers don't work on Chloe, Amenadiel's seemingly do. Kind of undermines any theory that she's part angel or whatever. I think most of that exchange was Chloe just loving with Lucifer after being flirted with. I'm not even convinced Amenadiel is using any powers besides being good-looking on the psych, either.

It sounded like Amenadiel is just the doorkeeper, not actually doing the whole 'devil' job. Sort of the night watchman. If Lucifer's accurate at all about his obvious ego, that's got to be driving him nuts. Add on to the fact this smarmy rear end in a top hat can just do whatever he wants, while Amenadiel is still stuck taking orders from the big man? He's probably pissed and can slow down time to brood about it even more effeciently. At the end of the day, there's a fondness, but Lucifer gets to gently caress around while Amenadiel has to pick up the slack. And, biblically, he's probably going to be rewarded for it and Amenadiel knows that.

I think it's a point to the show's credit that we're even having the discussion. Nobody was asking any sort of motivation or ruminating future plot points about Minority Report. I mean, nobody watched it, either, but y'know.

WarLocke posted:So am I alone in thinking that that one quick scene with Maz pulling out a Luci-feather from her little jewel box might imply that she had something to do with the wings being stolen in the first place? I think it's pretty obvious she's the one who told Amenadiel where they were.

computer parts posted:It makes sense. See the thing with the Devil is that his main sin was not doing exactly what God said without any hesitation. That only makes him a bad guy if you actually believe that God is the #1 best thinker who always gets everything right. That isn't exactly realistic nor assumed for a lot of the modern day audience. And computer parts nails it. Looks like this prediction is coming true next week!

The Pop Star got shot in front of Lux, leading him to interrogate the Drug Dealer, the Rap Superstar, the Therapist, and the Actor, whose Actress wife is banging the Limo Driver.

I really enjoyed this one. Lucifer recognizing the parallels to the parable and still completely, unabashedly ignoring the message was pretty great. Maze was pretty entertaining, too, as has been stated. And yeah, if Dan was as good at his job as he was at covering up corruption that lead to the attempted murder of a police officer, none of this would have ever happened.

That was definitely one of my favorites so far. Maze was fun, we got some more mythology, Lucifer gets to do what he does best. Good stuff. Really looking forward to seeing that brawl from the preview.

Also killing people puts them out of the reach of his punishment. He gets really bent out of shape when the shooter dies in the first episode and says as much.

Snak posted:Yeah I wasn't sure. It's all very vague. Lucifer and Amenadiel are brothers, and at first I assumed that that's because they were both created by God as angels. But if Maze was an angel, they certainly don't consider her a sister. And while at least one other angel has been mentioned (Uriel), I didn't get the impression that he was their brother. Maze is explicitly a demon, created by Lucifer. I think she's his lead torturer, but that may have been someone saying something about the comic and me getting confused.

Could have sworn he said she was a demon at some point. She definitely followed him to LA from hell and I'm reasonably sure he mentioned her being a torturer.

Medullah posted:Nice music choice for the BSG nerds watching for Helfer. Ha, that part didn't even parse for me. Amazing. This episode was quite good, good bit of procedural core and bringing the characters back into each others' orbits. The preview makes the rest of the season look fun, too, if Helfer's going to be a common supporting cast member. That part with her slapping at Lucifer's hands while he's calling Amenadiel was fantastic.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:Well, considering you apparently need a body to jump into when you leave hell (or heaven too, maybe), maybe it will just come up as human blood since the guy Lucifer hopped into was human. Amenadiel seems pretty worried about the blood, though. I think the divine and demonic can just transubstantiate or whatever.

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.
