"You know what happened? I didn't have my game face on." Lol. 🤣

Personally, Serenity 1 & 2 hooked me the best, but otherwise I'd recommend one of the funnier episodes, like Shindig or Our Mrs. Reynolds. I'd save Out of Gas for part of the standard episode watching order, because I think it's most meaningful after you've gotten to know all the characters. Then seeing their flashbacks to how they came to work with Mal and Zoe is so much more fun, funny, sentimental and moving. If you don't know the characters yet, it's a good episode, but the deeper meaning of everything isn't known as strongly, imo. It goes from good to amazing when you have that personal connection to everyone and what's going on.

Lol. What's the forehead sweat episode?

Marvelous little "brunch" video between Tom (Lucifer) and Colman Domingo (Father Frank) and their friend Brandon Kyle Goodman:

"I haven't eaten since 6 o'clock this morning, and that was a half a cream cheese bagel. And it wasn't even real cream cheese, it was light cream cheese!"
Cracks me up every time.

Such heartbreaking news. Not Mozzie. 💔 😭 Way too young.
Just read this article about Willie and Hilarie Burton (who played Sara Ellis): https://people.com/style/hilarie-burton-got-a-tattoo-to-honor-willie-garson-before-his-death/ That is the sweetest. ❤️

I think Lucifer being "Hell's therapist" is actually kind of brilliant
That was one of my favorite parts, especially that he was basically using a replica of Dr. Linda's office. Perfect. He's learned so much from her! (At last, lol.) I was delighted.

Lucifer holding his arms out for a hug from Maze, and her staring at him like, "What are you doing? We don't do that," was hilarious. And after all their beautiful careful words, I just kept saying to my TV, "Hug him, Maze, hug him, hug himmmmmmm." :D That whole scene between them was fantastic. The evolution of their relationship -- and of each of them as characters -- is one of my favorite things on the show.
Dan seeing the light was so lovely, I actually got teary-eyed for him. I've had my issues with his early-seasons character, especially how he treated Chloe back then (knowing full well that he was responsible for a lot of what she was going through and the crap she had to take from the precinct, because of what he did and hid about Palmetto). But I've really loved seeing him figure out what he felt guilty about, and work his way through each thing, and try to communicate with people as a ghost (and annoy the crap out of Amenadiel in the cop car, lol, so funny), and his final talk with Trixie was wonderful. I'm glad they switched from his inherited body to Kevin Alejandro so that Trixie's actual father could be seen and heard saying what he loved about her and reacting to her standing firm about him being a great father - it was beautiful to watch. (Though I will say that Rob Benedict did a great, great job imitating Kevin's Dan mannerisms and speech patterns. That was terrific too.)
So happy for Dan to reach heaven at last. He earned it, 100%.

Ella’s response was just perfect. It made me laugh so hard. I hope that ray-ray visited Ella once in a while after Lucifer left.
also maze’s kawaii outfit cracked me up. The actress said that none of the cast saw her before she walked into the scene. Their reactions were real. Ms.Brandt did a great job keeping maze’s deadly force palpable even in pink and kittens.
"You interrupt my honeymoon, you take what you get." LOL. I love Maze.

I don't like how they jumped to Ella and her investigation board this season without really showing us in the previous season that she was doubting something or finally seeing the light about who Amenadiel and Lucifer and Maze are.... but I will say, I LOVED the look on her face when she got to see Amenadiel fly off. Perfect. It was like her faith was restored and then some. She looked so happy. I was so happy for her to finally see proof.

My tv must need some color correction because I thought her wings were purple. Lol.
Loved Lucifer's song and dance number with Busty. And Carol and Ella are really sweet together. He better not turn evil, or I'll be pissed.

Nice return to the cop from the very first episode. Sorry to see his life has been messed up ever since, though. (Lol)
I feel like I need to replay the scene between Lucifer and Dan. For some reason, I thought I heard Lucifer say that he'd created a whole bunch of scenarios for Dan to play out, and the ping pong one was just the latest. So I don't think he's been stuck playing ping pong the whole time? He might have had to do other boring annoying stuff too? Unless I misheard. Like I said, I'll have to go back and rewatch the scene. Does anyone recall what Dan said?

The one character I always appreciated was November from Dollhouse. That actress was beautiful but also bigger than his usual choices for female characters on his shows. I loved that she became a love interest, and that she was also a kickass sleeper agent in disguise. But now that all this stuff has come out in the media, I wonder how she was treated on set.

It was a big shock.
After the shock of it, I remember thinking it was brilliant... because their "last con" was to con the audience into thinking they were dead. I was like, "Holy shit, you conned me! And I went right along with it!" LOL. Such a great series. I love it and love to rewatch it.

She was so much fun as Mrs. Hudson. I think one of my favorite moments is her driving that red sports car like a mad woman, and then stopping in the middle of the street and popping the trunk to show us that she had a handcuffed Sherlock in there. Lol. She wasn't just a "caring landlady," she was hysterical, had a fascinating past, and was a bit of a badass. Heee.
Rest in peace, Una Stubbs.

I always figured Dan would be the prime target for going to hell, given what he did in season 1, but I guess I never figured they'd actually kill him off. Even watching this episode, I thought for sure they were going to make it to save him in time. I thought it might come down to the wire, but they were going to come busting in and save him, most likely with Lucifer giving him some sassy snarky comment as they saved him. So when they didn't... I really was surprised.
Dan's not my favorite character, but it was such a horrible end for someone who tried his best to be better after season 1. I didn't cry until Chloe got there, though, and then Maze and Trixie finding out as well, and Lucifer unable to lie to Trixie... those really broke me.

I was mostly on Lucifer's side in the family dinner scene.
Michael was the snivelling suck-up, Amenadiel had regressed back to the obedient daddy's boy, and Linda was too busy being uncomfortable. Lucifer was the only one who could ask the hard questions and speak the hard truths that'd been stewing in the text and subtext since season 1. I don't think Dad not getting a nice family dinner is the end of the world, especially when his children at the table had legitimate grievances with each other (Amenadiel and Lucifer vs Michael) that he refused to acknowledge. He is/was a harsh, neglectful father, which even Amenadiel admitted, and he can stand to not get his way once in a while. Plus, since God's supposed to be omnipotent and all, he should have known what would happen if he tried to force a friendly sit-down and pretend that nothing was wrong.
Absolutely. All these seasons, we've seen Lucifer rail against God, but God's never actually been there. He's just thrown things and yelled at the sky, and felt unheard. So to me, this family conversation -- especially Lucifer getting out a lot of what he'd been feeling for so long -- was a long, long time coming and needed to happen. Even if some of it is Lucifer being childish, not all of it is for that reason. He has some serious pain and it's about time God stopped with the cryptic answers and listened to his son. I was like, "FINALLY!"
And totally laughed at Linda's chicken joke. So funny.

I think the brain freeze was probably my favorite part, lol. And Lucifer finally yelling at him, "Stop drinking it so fast!" Heeee.
I liked the God/Trixie conversation, loved the big moment for Maze (yes!!!), and loved that Ella finally met God, even though she didn't know it. Somehow I wondered if he'd been in his full form, would she have recognized the light and almighty in him, the way she saw light and then darkness in Charlotte?

Hated that they did the song I hate most in the world, Every Breath You Take. And I never listened to Debbie Gibson in her prime, so I don't know if that's her standard singing voice, but I thought her voice was atrocious.
She was actually pretty impressive as a kid - I mean, voice preferences are subjective, of course, so you may just not prefer what she sounds like - but what I remember was that it was pretty rare at that time for a 15 or 16-year-old kid to sing and play the piano, write all the songs and produce their entire album.
I'm a musicals gal through and through, so I enjoyed most of the songs. I think the only one that really didn't grab me was the football field number. I love that song by Queen, but I just couldn't really get into it from this show. But I thought Trixie's song was adorable, as was the Just the Two of Us performance by Dr. Linda and Amenadiel. I liked Maze and Ella's duet (and the morning after I saw the episode, I woke up with No Scrubs still in my head, lol). And of course I love Tom's stuff. I think Wicked Game might be my favorite.

I got pretty irritated throughout the episode because poor Dan's day just got worse and worse and I was like, come ON. And it annoyed me that no one seemed to care. I mean, true, Lucifer wouldn't really say much or ask if Dan was okay, but Ella would! She didn't even ask him what happened to his head!? That would be one of the first things to come out of my mouth if a friend and colleague walked into my office and was all disheveled and bloody. At that point, I was annoyed. (Especially when you find out that she wasn't in on it, so she would have every reason to be worried about him. Same with Amenadiel and Linda. They would be concerned.)
By the time they got to the showdown, I thought, okay, maybe part of the plan is to fake the Russians' deaths (especially after the first improv guy got shot), so that Dan's corrupt friend would get caught in the nightmare and turn himself in. But when everyone started getting shot, I was like, what the hell is going on? This can't be real. And when Maze got shot, I was like, no way, she's not going out like this. Not yet. No way. So then I knew something more was going on.
But the last line was definitely the best part of the episode. I laughed for several minutes, and even rewound to hear Lucifer say it again. Lol.

I studied Krav Maga with Grace Jones. heh.
My favorite line of the episode. And I loved Jessica faking being affected by the valium and then being all, "It's going to take a lot more than a couple of pills chased with alcohol to take me down." LOL.
On 5/19/2021 at 11:27 PM, UnknownK said:It helps that you never actually seen him enjoy killing anybody. Its one thing to talk about him killing so many people and another to actually see him do it that would sour people to the character.
I think I finally saw it in Martin when he was tied to the bed and Vivian left the room, and Martin just RAGED (with Sheen practically looking right at the camera as it came in for a super close-up). He's always been kind of quirky insane with a level of darkness hiding underneath, but that was the moment when I said, "There he is... that's the killer in him."
I thought it was interesting when he blamed Malcolm for stirring it back up in him after he swore he was no longer a killer, and Malcolm said something like "That's not how psychopathy works." I agree -- no matter what Martin tried to claim about himself, that rage was in him just an episode before, and it doesn't seem to take much to get it to come back. It's always going to be a part of him. He's a serial killer and that's not going to go away.
Which is why I'm bummed that the show's done because I wanted them to delve more into Ainsley's similar personality and how she's the true follower of her father's footsteps. I hoped season 3 would dive into that, while showing Malcolm learning to stand on his own, become who he truly is, and finally recognize that he is not his father and never will be, no matter what Martin tries to claim.
I hope the show gets picked up somewhere, because this ending with so much up in the air was not a good way to end the series.

If you like Prodigal son like i do fight for it, there is a campaign over on Twitter if you are not on twitter just join up i have started tweeting its not to hard. Fight for it you never know Netflix or HBOMax might pick it up you won't ever know if we don't try.
I was trying to think of what would be funny to send to the network (like fans sent Subway sandwiches to save the show Chuck, and peanuts for a different show whose name I forget), but the only thing I could think of was Vivian's butterscotch candies. ;)

I would be totally down for Alan Cumming to show up again. "I cant believe I'm going to die in Brooklyn."
I think that was my favorite line of the entire episode. Alan's delivery was unforgettably hilarious.

Definitely my favourite episode as well.
Steven: Alex, parents are conditioned to put up with a few minor accidents when they leave their children home alone. A broken vase, spilt milk on the rug... There was a kangaroo... in my living room.
Alex P. Keaton: ...He was just here for the party dad.
Steven: Then I guess I'm overreacting.That was my first thought as soon as I read Kyle's description of the episode: "There was a kangaroo... in my living room." LOL. Cracks me up every time. Michael Gross said that so perfectly.

Lois & Clark - General Discussion
in Lois & Clark
Oh wow, it's been AGES since I've watched Lois & Clark, but I will never forget that damn clone thing. (Lol) Definitely a frustrating ship-stalling "plot" that drove me nuts. I don't mind waiting, but that idea was bonkers.
