good ol' stephen lynch. wonder what he's doing these days

He was doing the Wedding Singer musical for a while, but still regularly tours. Though the last few shows I've been to are more of a production and didn't have the same feeling of spontaneity that his older shows did. :)

Can you guys explain what a scion is and why Chloe may be one for those of us that don't read any of the comics or the Bible?

I played A LOT of Battlezone II, often as the alien race who were called Scion.



So that's what it means to me.

How did this show end up being so good. In the beginning we could barely stand to watch it and now it's my family's favorite show. The women love Maze, love Chloe, love Trixie, love Doc Martin, really love Lucifer, and I think they are developing a healthy respect for Mum. My wife is confused over Amenadiel, she can't decide if he's a "good guy" or "bad guy". They are confused by Dan, one episode they hate him, the next they love him. I think he's great. Last episode really helped csi girl but I'm still on the fence.

In this last episode they stopped putting dark eye makeup on Chloe and she's beautiful.

My super-religious in-laws came to visit and we watched Lucifer. I thought they would poo poo bricks but their reaction was -- confused. I think they liked it but didn't want to say so.

Mum is kinda depressing me because I fully believe she wants to try War On God 2.0, but has been delaying that plan to some extent because she legitimately loves that she's involved with some of her kid's lives. But that ain't going to be enough, she's going to go too far, and poo poo is going to go down. :(

I think it is good because the drama between the characters makes sense, and the characters are not cookie cutter police procedural or superhero show. No permanent damsels in distress. No stoic main character.

Another thing is the characters are always true to themselves. Plot happens because of them, rather than the other way around.

I think it's significant that whenever an episode starts, like 6 times out of 7, it starts on Lucifer and we discover the crime with him. Every now and then the murder of the week or the initial discovery of the body will be dramatized, but the show's about Lucifer, and not the cases he solves.

One thing absolutely driving my girlfriend insane is whenever they're talking to Mum, the script constantly has them saying "mom." Like 10 times in a 2 minute conversation.

WE GET IT. SHE'S YOUR MOTHER. STOP THAT.

To be fair though, most people call their mothers some version of 'mom'; her vessel's name is Charlotte but that's not really her name so it'd be weird to call her that....

They've never established an actual name for her, similar to how there's no actual name for god/dad. So it kind of makes sense for them to just fall back on those, even if it does get a bit repetitive.

Depending on your religion, and yes, within the Judeo-Christian system, God may or may not have a proper name.

As Indiana Jones could tell you, it didn't begin with a J in Latin....

True that some religions and sects do have a proper name. In the context of Lucifer however there doesn't seem to be a proper name for either mom OR dad. You'd think if there was one of the 4 literal divine beings we've encountered so far would have made some indication of it by now, after all.

Well it's not them even calling her that, it's just the way the writers are writing the dialogue.

"Mom, you have to understand. You can't kill Chloe, mom. Lucifer would chase you to the ends of the earth. Think about it, mom. This is a foolish thing to do, mom."

Have you seen the promo for the next episode? Chloe looks like hell. She hasn't had that reaction before when hanging out with Lucifer; maybe Amenadiel is regaining his angel powers by taking her miracle one, whatever that means?

Kwatz
Aug 14, 2008

Luckier is going to give up his powers to save Chloe, meaning that he can't go back to Heaven, meaning Mom will be pissed, but God will be happy that Lucifer did something selfless. It'll be just like season 1!

I'm really liking this season, such a huge improvement making it more serialized. All of the jokes are so much funnier and the real dramatic moments are done so well that it's hard for me to even find any faults.

I never thought Rachael Harris would impress me with her acting skill being primarily a comedian but she really nailed it in the reaction to Lucifer revealing himself. Such a well done scene from both of them, plus the music. Also Jesus Christ she just had a child at 48 years old.

According to Wikipedia episode 13 is on January 30, and episode 14 is on May 1. I guess they've been slack in filming the back half of the season?

I don't think they got the order for the last 6 episodes until late last year, so they're probably filming them right now.

One of the show runners said they are just following the same setup as Gotham, so that might be why there's a weird hiatus going on.

Not really because ever since she started doing the bounty hunting thing Maze has been ridiculously cheerful, even when she blew up Amenediel's car.
