Lucifer (Fox/Netflix) [** Spoilers **]

Nody

It sets up the third season story arc (or what looks to be the story arc) quite well though I'd had hoped the ending of season 2 would have had a longer/better story behind it.

To my mind Lucifer (supposition)

is no longer the Devil, now that he's got white wings, and there's a new Devil in town

I'd agree that is what's hinted at; but then again he had

white wings as the devil as well; remember he cut them off and they were white then

so I think it's going to be something more along the lines off

he needs to redeem himself by stopping the human master mind who bought his wings in season 2 for one or another reason and he'll end up with his devil face and all by end of season 3 at the latest

Took me a few minutes to recognise that was Tom Welling even though I new he was joining the cast.

CastorTroy

Yeah, like I said elsewhere, after he refused to don the suit for Smallville which resulted in what we got. It looks like CG is the only way he would fit now.

Had to google Tom Welling. Would NOT have recognised/guessed his former character in a million years.

RobbingBandit

Jebus he's unrecognisable in this, stubble and a bad dye job do wonders for him.

Lucifer is a fallen angel the wings would always be white, hope the angle plays out well this time, get someone interesting to play the protagonist please.

You have someone interesting who is playing the protagonist, it's right in front of your eyes, you just need to look. At least that is who I think it is going to be.

Overall a nice season opener, looking forward to see where this is going to go and hope we are getting a nice overarching story line out of this.

Another great episode and it looks like it airs on Sundays in Canada so people don’t need to wait until Tuesday to see the latest episode.

CastorTroy

After 2 episodes, I have to ask

where's Maze? Budget cuts meaning she gets paid per appearance so less appearances?

Edit: Never mind. Google says the actress had a baby and so got time off

Agent Coulson

This week's episode was one of the four not aired last season.


Maz is great.

Yggr of Asgard

The last couple of seconds with the filing cabinet felt like were added after the decision was made to air these 4 as part of this seasons episode.

Otherwise, I sure hope we are going to see Maz again regularly.

Bandana boy

Best episode in a long time , Maz was excellent ,a great mix of humor and action

Was thinking that as well. And there was a name there that I didn't recognise. After googling I see it's a character from the comic.
But when the guy said he ha dto go on the run as there was someone higher up, it seems they had planned for Sinnerman before

Agent Coulson

Really great to see Candy back I hope she becomes a bit of a recurring character.

Card counting Ella was great as well.

I've a feeling this week's episode was another of the stand alone episodes.

RobbingBandit

Ella full of surprises, missed Maz during the penthouse drunkeness, thought Sin City might have brought out the Sinnerman, Linda is good fun drunk.

According to wiki, you're right. As is next week's.

Still Ella looked pretty good in this

RobbingBandit

Patrick Fabian deserves an emmy for that performance. Best guest star ever.

Clareman

Another good stand alone episode.

Jamiekelly

Usually hate stand alone episodes because they tend to be filler but that episode was very good. Easily the best of the season.

smilerf

Great episode but as a standalone it didn't work. Anyone who did didn't know it was held off from last year would be very confused

Lucifer still has his devil face but it has been gone
For a while now he has been calling espinoza Daniel not lt douche
Maze is still protecting Lucifer

RobbingBandit

You get to see the news wall in the Reeses office a couple of times one of them stating lost powers, one referring to Charlotte Richards so it has progression. More of a montage episode than stand alone as the relationship was on going. That ending was ****ing brutally evil, best episode so far in the series watching it again after hearing the doors of hell aren't closed is eye opening to all but Reese.

CastorTroy

Watching this week's episode I'm wondering if Aimee Garcia gets hazard pay in case of neck pain from having to always look Tricia Helfer in the eye all the time.
Decker is most definitely a hat.

They did that on purpose, the reporter was supposed to have been on the scene since pretty much from the start, and this story line went throughout the full time line.

CastorTroy

I'd be disappointed if that was really the Sinnerman, unless he's got some big plan

Maybe this is the alternate universe, the one where Superman is bad

Well your question gets answered and I wonder what your reaction will be; all I'll say however is

Hello Kane

.

Clareman

Great episode, the ending was well done, I like the fact he's not the Sinnerman but a new character.

Technically he is the Sinnerman! When he said the Sinnerman killed his brother he wasn't lying because he killed Able and became the first human to commit original sin. I'm still surprised at the Cain reveal to be honest.

The way the show was going this season I was expecting to be disappointed that it would slowly turn back into the atypical police procedural that FOX always banks on and that the whole Chloe/Lucifer dynamic would fizzle out but with that ending and reveal aswell as the build up regarding Chloe it puts it right back into Season 1 and 2's better plot territory where it shines best as a show, the supernatural elements and how they effect everything else. Looks like Lucifer is going to need God's help if he is going to get what he wants which will be great fun to watch :pac:

The Walking Dead writers could learn a thing or two from the Lucifer team about setting up finales and making the viewer actually want to watch what's going to happen with strong main characters and side characters aswell.

Agent Coulson

I'm not surprised who the big bad is I am pleasantly surprised at the way they have gone with it.

RobbingBandit

Good twist looking forward to what they do next.

CastorTroy

Yeah, nice twist.

So the girl abducted herself, somehow got to that location, tied herself up, weighed herself down then filmed a video from a bit away and then sent the video? She's good.

Glad we've got a non human bad guy again.

Tricia Helfer acts more like 7 of 9. Would expect her to be more human and act smarter.

Nody

"You know me brother, I can turn anything on"

RobbingBandit

Great episode the suit at the beginning pitifully epic.

EoinMcLovin

Next episode isn't for another three weeks. What was the point of coming back for one episode after winter break and taking another break straight away.

Edit: just found out that this was the last of the standalone episodes so makes sense why they aired it early

Clareman

I enjoyed that episode, a great fun episode with everyone involved, Maz especially was great.

Agent Coulson

Was that another of last seasons I wonder.


Great fun and giving a nice little backstory to the characters.

RobbingBandit

Loved Lucifer flinching when he was next to Decker in the club just like he got a distinctive vibe from her. Then watching Hot Tub High school.

YEah, it was the last 1 of the standalone episodes, afaik the standalones are the ones with Maze in them as the actress has had a baby since the episodes were filmed hence her missing.

That episode was chronic

Don't really know where it's going. Killing Cain isn't strong enough for a series.

The weekly murder procedural is Zzzzzzzx

RobbingBandit

Flash in the eyes is no devil face, he needs that evil look back. Cain and the whole defiance thing really isn't strong enough as already said get back to finding what has happened to the devil face really needs to be brought back front and centre.

EoinMcLovin

The latest episode is out in the wild as it aired in Canada last night. I think it usually aired a day early in Canada

CastorTroy

Years later and I still think the words to "I will survive" are "Oh no not I. I will survive. As long as I've had Weetabix..."

It's getting a bit more serious these days with Lucifer/Cain, Lucifer/Decker and Maze/Amenadiel/Linda
