iRarelyWatchTV36 October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 Between The Orville and this show, it would seem that FOX has declared its open season on genitalia jokes. Both the tiny version and "That is the biggest cock I've ever seen". Remember aspiring comedians, its not the itchy butt jokes but how you present the scratching of said itch(es) that people come to see. My radar is going nuts on Pierce. He seems genuinely all-in on getting the SinnerMan, but he's also throwing off some serious "don't trust that arrogant dick!" vibes. [side note: Is Tom Welling's hair truly 'salt & pepper' now, or is it just color added for the show to make him seem older?] Amen and Dr Linda shared some bonding time. They make a good pair to share screen time.Linda: "This isn't quite what I expected. I thought it would be something more, like, reverential. And certainly less 'burning celestial objects in a dumpster fire'." Still no Maze or Trixie. Although, not!Maze shared a short convo with Lucifer over the phone. Oh, and need a favor?

Happy Harpy October 9, 2017 Share October 9, 2017 (edited) It was an enjoyable episode, with great one-liners, but the balance is definitely off for me right now. They did dumb down Ella so a little of her goes a long way. Dan being constantly kicked by his new boss makes him too much of a butt monkey and it stops being funny for me even when Lucifer mocks him "affectionately". Maze is missing in action. Trixie is nowhere to be seen. Chloe doesn't share screentime with characters other than cops, and has none of her own (with her daughter and friends or with Lucifer outside work). Lieutenant Jackass Oh wait actually he's noble and dedicated yeah right is still set on default mode and I still see no chemistry, least of all with Lucifer. Tom Ellis is acting circles around Tom Welling, and kills him with charisma. It made their scenes jarring instead of engaging, in my eyes. Tom Ellis carried this episode and Lucifer was the MVP. Mr.Morningstar was in full acting-up mode like the lovable maverick he is, and made me laugh out loud many times. Welcome back, you devilish you! I also loved Chloe being portrayed first and foremost as competent, and as no-nonsense but keeping an open mind with Lucifer. You see that she's careful not to hurt him, and explains why, even when she tells him off. I've always loved this side of her and this side of their relationship so I'm very glad it's still there. More Linda, which is always a plus, and with Amenadiel, which is always a plus. I thought of this board when she called him "Amen", and thought "No, it should be Amy!". Crossing my fingers so that I have only praises for the next one.

Of course, if TPTB were really reading this board, instead of Amen, she would have suggested Amenadude. I refuse to recognize any other name for him. Given how tailored his suits are, where was Luci hiding the tomatoes? Or, was he conjuring them? Poor Det. Douche. He told them there's a huge difference between improv and stand-up comedy. Absence of Maze and Trixie continues to be a problem. New Lt. just ain't doing it for me (never watched Smallville so this is my first time seeing the actor).

Even though they are both trying to find and catch the Sinnerman, Lt. Blur Smallville/Metropolis Jerkass needs to have more scenes with someone besides Lucifer because it's a bit early for him to come off as that obsessed with Lucifer. I really missed Maze and Trixie tonight, especially when Chloe revealed that she didn't know about Dan doing improv. Maze and Trixie are the exact people who need to remind Chloe that she has no life. Dan does improv as a hobby, was bonding with Amenadiel, and is a little heartbroken after his break up with Mom. Maze is finding a way to make a life on her own away from Lucifer. Chloe is the only character who doesn't do anything besides work and sometimes be a mother. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62218-s03e02-the-one-with-the-baby-carrot/#findComment-3707560

It seemed more like a cartoon than anything else. Enough with the penis jokes. They are supposed to be adults after all. There are times when Lucifer takes things way too far, from some what humorous to absolute cruelty. He was beyond cruel in this episode. People are born with, what they are born with. It isn't as though they have any control over how well equipped they are. There is a reason why both men and women have surgery to "perfect" themselves. Episodes like this don't help. This has multiple personality written all over it. Given that he is the new character on the show, it very well could be him. It's always possible for someone to be more obnoxious. I was okay with Ella in this one. Of course she'd be a fan of a show about a guy and his imaginary friend puppets. Lucifer was supposed to be cruel in this episode (though not to Dan). The idea was to poke at someone's insecurities and get a rise out of them (so to speak) to reveal a suspect. And yes, the Devil, who used to be the Lord of Hell, a place of (presumably) eternal punishment, can sometimes take things too far and be cruel. I hope it won't be multiple personality. Tom Welling tends to have difficulty showing he has any personality, much less more than one. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62218-s03e02-the-one-with-the-baby-carrot/#findComment-3708244

It's utterly cringeworthy to me, and seems completely out of character even if it does let Kevin Alejandro show off more of his talents.

I did see some of that last week with her conversation with Amenadiel about having faith in Gods plan, so I hope we get more of that. I also hope Dan gets a few lucky breaks soon. It was just sad seeing him getting kicked while hes down all episode. Even Lucifer's jabs seemed extra mean spirited, even at the end when Luci kind of apologized. I did laugh a LOT when Lucifer through a tomato at him. That was classic Lucifer. And at least Lucifer calls him Daniel now. Other than those bits, I liked this episode pretty well. Lucifer getting his mojo back was great to see (is he going to grant the desires of all those people, or have hot passionate sex with them? Or both? Who knows?) and he and Chloe had a nice bit of back and fourth, especially over the poor mico penis guy. The shot of Lucifer having a show down with the villain was really well shot.

Helena Dax October 11, 2017 Share October 11, 2017 The episode had some funny moments, but I think it was a bit weak. Maze and Trixie's absence is hurting the show a bit and some scenes didn't quite work for me, especially when boss detective went to Lucifer's penthouse to warn him about Sinnerman, Lucifer thinks Sinnerman is behind his wings and his lack of demon face, which means Sinnerman must be supernatural or working for someone supernatural. I think we should have seen some subtle evidence of "you're the one who doesn't know how dangerous Sinnerman is, you human". I like it when we get the feeling that Lucifer isn't actually a person (and I'm not talking about his powes or his demon face). Besides, it's time for Chloe to find the truth about Lucifer and herself. It's like she's outside her own story. I think it would be good for both characters. I love Amenadiel and I want him to get his wings back so much... Also, his scenes with Linda were great. I agree that she needs to talk to someone and imo, she's waiting for Maze.

Scarlett Estevez was filming Daddy's Home 2 with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell while I think Lesley-Ann Brandt had a baby.

Hell, Luci could try it out on Ella. After Lt. Douche-lite in the opener and comic in this episode, she can fangirl over the Devil in the next episode. It seems that she has to fangirl over someone every episode, so why not Luci in devilface. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62218-s03e02-the-one-with-the-baby-carrot/#findComment-3715339
thuganomics85 October 13, 2017 Share October 13, 2017 Aww, the life of stand-up comedians! Honestly, I really wouldn't be surprised if this isn't that far off from the truth and it truly is that cutthroat. They could probably create a Game of Thrones-ish show set in the world of comedians, and it would be just as brutal, political, and dangerous! That said, I called the killer early one, because there was only two actors credited in the guest list, so once I knew one was Bobby Lowe and it wasn't going to be him, I knew it was going to be Camille Chen's character. But it was all worth it to watch Lucifer mess up a puppet show! I love that Dan's improv is still a thing and how he'll defend it to the end. Totally knew that he was going to bomb big time on stage, because there is pretty big differences between that and stand-up. Lucifer tossing tomatoes at him still made me laugh, but I hope the poor guy gets a break. Linda and Amenadiel were great, but I always like there relationship and history. I appreciate Linda's attempt to find a way to shorten his name, but Amen really doesn't work, so it will still be Amenadiel for me! I still like Ella, but she is getting out of hand at times. Although, really, Chloe should have probably not let her anywhere near Bobby since she knew she was a big fan and wouldn't be objective. Then again, she knew Lucifer was being objective either (hell, in other cases as well), so I guess I just have to accept that Chloe is just way too easy on that front. Trying to give Marcus a chance, but he's still dull and I do think a lot of that is on Tom Welling. He's trying, but he has no spark. Even when I found Dan kind of dull in the early season one days, Kevin Alejandro still brought something to the role that Tom W. (so not to confuse him with Tom Ellis who always brings it!) doesn't. I actually hope he is The Sinnerman, because I do remember thinking he was actually pretty solid on Smallville, whenever Clark got infected with Red Kryptonite and turned bad. I understand the reasons behind it, but I'm still missing both Maze and Trixie. Fun episode, but not the show's best. But I'm still curious to see where this is going, so it wasn't a complete bust.

He's trying, but he has no spark. Since you've seen Smallville, you know that TW really is kind of straightforward and stoic. Unless he was on the Red K, he was usually pretty bland, but that's expected of Superman. No highs or lows. The only times he showed any emotions was when his dad died or something bad was happening to the women in his life: Mom, Lana, Chloe, & Lois. I don't think he has much range. I still like Ella and though she can be a little manic at times, her use as comic-relief should be toned down just a smidgen, otherwise I like her inclusion in the core group. Looking forward to the Charlotte Richards episode, as I really want to see how Luci explains his mom no longer being "his" mom.

Quickbeam October 14, 2017 Share October 14, 2017 Haven’t seen Welling since Smallville. Didn’t recognize him. Has filled out nicely. Still no Olivier but remains eye candy. Ellis carries all the weight and any scene he is in sparkles. I love him with Dr. Linda. I wish they would advance what they intend to do with Amenadiel ( sp?) since there seems to be so little direction with the character. Bring back Maze please. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62218-s03e02-the-one-with-the-baby-carrot/#findComment-3722038

sinkwriter October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 Quote Ella is completely unrecognizable. She was always quirky and kooky, but now she's a complete space cadet. I was really annoyed with her in this episode. I can believe she'd love a show involving a comic with puppets, but I don't believe she's so clueless that she'd be completely oblivious to all the rudeness he displayed well before she found out he was a thief. He was being SO rude and she just lapped it up like he was being cute. Maybe some fans are like that (where they excuse way too much stuff because they think someone is cute), but she's been shown in previous episodes to be pretty smart so I don't believe that she's too pure / naive / innocent to even notice when a guy is being a jerk. I wanted to at the very least see some of the happy "I'm a big fan" grin start to slide off her face, the more he talked, and then have the thievery be the final nail in the coffin. But I don't think they showed that - instead, she seemed so happy with him, no matter how snippy and insulting he seemed, and I don't buy that. Bad call. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/62218-s03e02-the-one-with-the-baby-carrot/#findComment-3733177
sinkwriter October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 I hope they never give Amenadiel a nickname. It suits him not to have a nickname because he's so formal. Plus, then anything Lucifer calls him (to annoy him) will be extra amusing. But I liked how Linda tried with "Amen", and then dismissed it as not good. I really like how they've built on the relationships of this show. They could have had Amenadiel be in just a couple scenes with Linda, deceiving her in order to get info about Lucifer, and once he'd been found out (or once he'd gotten what he needed), he could have left that office and never been in another scene with Linda because their paths don't cross. Instead they're building a lovely friendship between them. Likewise, they could have made Dan just a "douche" and sent him on his merry way to prison, never to be seen again on the show, after his lies were exposed. Or, they could have kept him around as a pointless annoyance (which is what I thought of him in the beginning). Instead, they've given him some substance. I really appreciate that. He's still not as important of a character as Lucifer or Chloe, but I've come to care about what happens to him.

NutMeg November 25, 2017 Share November 25, 2017 Just catching up on this season - after transcontinental move et al. and still amazed at how good it is. For some reason, couldn't plus anyone in the first epi thread, so all you on the first page in particular, I was yes-yessing you all through my reading. Two things to add: One from the past - Sinnerman was sung beautifully by Tom Ellis earlier in the series. As I understand it, Sinnerman is flawed, but not bad/evil, at least by the time the song was sung, but maybe it will have meaning in the future. (As of now, I think Amenadude is the best representation of a sinnerman, or sinnerangel, as I understand it). One from the future (as per this episode broadcast date): very prescient about the hurt and misery in the comedy business. Including unfunny penis jokes. Enough said.

emarasmoak January 11, 2019 Share January 11, 2019 (edited) Ella, Lucifer's and Chloe entering the studio. There is a giant rooster. Luci: "That's the biggest cock I've ever seen." Which is appropriate given than we are going to hear jokes about micropenis later. Lucifer making funny voices with a puppet. Oh, the weirdness and humour in this show!
