MostlyC March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 When a superstar singer's life is threatened, the team is thrust into the world of big-ticket stadium shows, crazed fans and divas, giving Lucifer a run for his money. Meanwhile, Charlotte tries to help Linda and Maze repair their friendship. ...maybe we’ll get lucky and Luci will get to sing. 2 Link to comment
janeta March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 “I want to live in your spleen.” Hahahaha! And oh god, the lieutenant needs to never, ever, EVER sing again. Not. Ever. The illusionists were awesome. The duet was also pretty awesome. :) And I really liked CeCe's sweater.... But Dr Linda and Maze's squabble? I have no shits to give. And i still wish the lieutenant and Dan would go away. 4 Link to comment

Alot Like Colman Domingo's priest character from before.. Lucifer should let more black folk play his piano.. Not enuff amenadiel and looks like Pierce is the jerk I thought he was... 2 Link to comment
enoughcats March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 It's as if the writers from seasons 1 and 2 are just below the surface, struggling to be heard. And they gifted us with the duet at the end to remind us why we f'luved this show. (Would someone explain to the Medical Examiner that informal sweaters that look like middle school boy's pajama tops are NOT proper office attire. And never, ever give a gift whose content is unknown.) Chloe should have taken her daughter to the concert. Full stop. She is still a Mother, or have I missed something? But that duet should be my screensaver, if I could figure out how to do it. 1 2 Link to comment
CaptainTightpants March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 I fianlly figured out who Ella is, she's Mr. Frond-the perpetually awkward guidance counselor from Bob's burgers. A compliment box? 100% a Frond move. Especially since she didn't think to check any of the papers before she started reading them. Aloud. To her boss. Amy and Dan brohugging at Lux was the high point of my day. Then Lucy started singing. Well played show, well played. I had a random thought that maybe Maze is in love with Linda. Because Maze certainly didn't care when she broke up with Amy and then thought he was having office sex with randos afterwards. So maybe all her outrage is because Linda is dating somebody, not because Amy is. It makes more sense than anything else I can think of. Otherwise I don't know why this storyline is getting so much play. As a parting observation, I like the show much better when Lucy is not in love with Chloe. But it looks like we are in for it now. Sigh. 5 Link to comment
Jlina March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 (edited) Lucifer and Chloe love -despite it reeking of manipulation to Lucifer - is the most unexpected*, fragile, pure thing about the show imo. Loved that camera shot with her kneeling looking at him. And oh wow, Lucifer's eyes spilling. Why Pierce wants "that" (given that it's taken) is beyond me. I hope it ends very badly for him. Maze sulking is not a good look. Sad for her character. Lucifer duet! Yeah! And why smoothie the dead guy to death? That was odd.... *Unexpected not because it wasn't always obvious it was to be written that way, but because it has grown so slowly and feels organic. Edited March 13, 2018 by Jlina 8 Link to comment
GaT March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 So Ella is a ditz again, & Maze is just annoying, she needs to get over this snit because it''s boring. 3 Link to comment
Helena Dax March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 I loved this one! Lucifer trying to show his Dad he was TOTALLY interested in Ella, the singer and every random people he met was hilarious. I also loved Chloe's patience and eye-rolls. She knows him so well by now... Pierce is the worst, even if he's got great arms. He just saw how important was Chloe for Lucifer and starts going after her. Rude. Besides, he's lying to her. Lucifer has always been honest to her. He has told her over and over who he is. She chose not to know, but she had that choice. The situation with Pierce/Cain is completely different. I'm not really fond of the idea of watching Pierce and Lucifer fighting over Chloe, but I feel this could be a step in the right direction, meaning Chloe might find out the truth for real. Hopefully. That ending... I guess the mistake he's talking about is trying to keep himself away from Chloe? Poor thing. 7 Link to comment
rainsmom March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 Pierce isn't trying to be a douche; he's trying to be redeemed so he can die. He has convinced himself that Chloe's love can redeem him like it has, to his eyes, redeemed Lucifer. It was a fairly creative way to get at a love triangle, but I still care zero fucks about that love triangle, because I know that she will end up with Lucifer. (And if she didn't, and she and Pierce rode off into the sunset together? WIN!) Amenadiel has gotten so annoyingly self righteous that it's just painful to watch him. Maze is being a bitch now -- to the point that I don't WANT her and Linda to make up. It's time for Linda to write her off and go back to Amenadiel. Is it just me, or did Mom -- whatever her name is now -- take like three steps back this episode? This show simply SUCKS this season. 6 Link to comment

And yeah...he should never, ever, ever sing. That was painful. Luckily, they gave us the Lucy/Axara duet. That was fun!

tennisgurl March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 It might be slightly interesting if Maze is actually into Linda and thats why she is so angry about this stupid love triangle, but only slightly. For me, its an annoying plot that drags good characters into a hole of boredom and annoyance. Love triangles reek of desperation that a show still relatively early in its run shouldn't have yet. That being said, there were some bright spots. The duet between Lucifer and singer was really good, and actually felt like the old show again. I also liked the talk he had with her, and in general the case was alright. I did figure out who the killer was pretty much instantly because I recognized the social media assistant as a character on Awkward, and you know they wouldn't stick in a semi recognizable actor into such a small part. Ella and her compliment box was a bit cringe worthy, but I do appreciate how much she tries to help people, and I laughed at every comment apparently being about Pierces arms. They arent wrong! Certainly his greatest asset isn't his singing voice. Ouch... It was nice seeing Dan being helpful as well. He is a resilient guy after all. 5 Link to comment
theatremouse March 13, 2018 Share March 13, 2018 I realized during this episode that Dan frustrates me for two reasons: 1) I have always found him boring. 2) Now whenever I see him, I crave chocolate pudding. He didn't even mention in this one (did he?) but still I see his face and wonder "hey maybe I have some pudding in the fridge..." Also the answer last night was no, I do not have pudding.

From what I understand, their intention is to show that these characters are finding themselves and Maze especially is learning to be her own person. However, I don't think it works because in S1, they were a tight-knit group and now they're pulling them apart and that is disconnecting the characters from the group and the group dynamic. At this point, they could almost make two shows - one that deals with Maze, Amenadiel and Linda and the other that deals with the rest of the characters and I think that is part of the problem. They can all find themselves alright, but I liked them all as a group. I liked Lucifer as the center and the other characters being woven into his story. It doesn't mean that they can't grow and it doesn't mean that Maze can't learn about humanity and Feelings but she should do it as part of the group and the story, not in a separate group and story. 6 Link to comment
colorbars March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Maze being in love with Linda but not realizing it is literally the only way this storyline can be even a little bit redeemed. The entire love triangle is all so pointless. It feels like the entire purpose of Linda/Amenadiel getting together has simply been to facilitate this Linda/Maze drama, as they threw them together romantically in one episode (after Maze's prompting) and I'm pretty sure every single conversation we've seen them have onscreen has been about, you guessed it, Maze. Yet they continuously have Linda or Amenadiel saying these lines about how real and amazing and strong their feelings are, even though we've seen none of that. This storyline was an awful idea in general, but the way it's been written has made it even worse. End it already, please. 2 Link to comment

thuganomics85 March 16, 2018 Share March 16, 2018 At least they fooled me with the killer, only because I didn't know who the hell she was. I'm guessing she was one of the people they interviewed after the crime just happened, but I don't even remember what her position was in the singer's entourage. And her threatening everyone at the end with a knife lacked any suspense. A gun would have made way more sense. So, after being a Debbie Downer for a bit (complete with awful singing), Cain/Pierce is now hoping that Chloe could "redeem" him somehow, so he is now finally pursuing her, right when Lucifer finally decides to admit to himself he still cares for her. Go figure. Meanwhile, Maze is just becoming an unlikable brat now, and she and Dr. Linda are just being wasted in this subplot. At least the episode let Luci/Tom Ellis sing again, which is always a plus. 2 Link to comment

If they get unlazy, they will list her as credit only. The most extreme example of this that I have is an original series Dallas season, where the character of Bobby Ewing's wife (not Pamela), was killed fairly early in the season, and the actress and her triptych credit/screen in the title sequence persisted through to the end of that season.

Ditto. It’s nothing more than a soap opera playing alongside a boring procedural week after week. They need to get back to what made the show special. Chloe may be a co-lead but the character isn’t working at all. The love triangles have ruined three of the best characters. Lucifer is just a whiny petulant child who has lost all sex appeal. If this mess isn’t fixed, I’m done. I’m barely paying attention as it airs now. 3 Link to comment
