You know, in all this talk of lying devil's, the nature of divine forgiveness, and the poor forethought of detective coma we've missed the biggest hole in his deal.

How the gently caress is he going to take a physical coin to Hell? Luci brought it up with his physical angel hands. How's detective gluttony planning on bringing down?

And now you understand how the Devil outsmarted a really dumb and desperate human.

Lucifer doesn't lie as an honour thing, it's not a literal restriction. The comics have a great line about it:

"When the Devil wants you to do something, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to Hell."

He even had a line, in one of the earlier episodes, about how the humans in hell brought themselves there and chose their own punishments.

:devil:

Can't find the exact quote, but it was along these lines...

“Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spent my entire days sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commits acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. Never. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them.”

I laughed myself sick to this. Greatest joke of the series yet.

Titan posted:

I agree too. Lucifer is all about dealing out justice. Death doesn't fit his idea of what justice should be. Like in the pilot with that producer, he could have killed him after he shot Chloe but instead decided to punish him by showing his true form and whatever else he did to make the guy go insane.

Exactly. He's the angel of retribution, of bringing light to the darkest recesses of human misbehavior. Of a guiding path in an oblique perspective. And while he may hate his job, he's the best there is at it, and he knows it.

zoux posted:

The goat thing just being a huge troll on Lucifer that irritates the poo poo out of him is a great gag.

I wait with bated breath for the finale.

Between this and Married with Children, I can not choose for a "Best of network" Fox Show.

What if being the "Devil" has to be consensual? :aaaaa:

Like, without the angel's, or whomsoever's, consent you can not reign in Hell?

Maybe being the "Dark lord" of the underworld is a choice and not a punishment?

Maybe that's the message here?

The only character who doesn't evolve is Lucifer and that's part of his charm. Even Maze is growing as a person / demon.

Also, Mom seems to have "subtle" down whereas her son, Lucifer is all about being blatant. I still do not trust her or anything she says.

Oh....Oh he is evolving, it's just in a very subtle way. He's already light years ahead of everyone else, so any change, on his part, goes as coincidence. He isn't the detective or the douche. Trixie or Amenadiel. His Mother or Maze.

He's left hell, but he understands what it is he does best and does willingly. He's evolved from fire and brimstone, to justice and irony. It shows.


As for "mum". I agree. I trust her as far as I could throw her narrow rear end. Nor should you.

The crime of the week stuff is definitely the show's weakest part and it doesn't exactly inspire confidence when you have your main character consistently get bored with it and just wander off.

Uriel......

You know brother, you were the reason Adam and Eve understood the nature of reality. As such, brother, you're the reason Father is so angry.

Ok, I really enjoyed ladies night out and this episode in its entirety.

Absolutely just watched this week's episode for the fourth time.

I have a question, much like Amenadiel. Mine though, well...

What does god/Father want that he himself can not provide?

Otherwise, why keep Lucy and Chloe around?

No but I had a short seizure(10-20 seconds i think) when the nurse hosed up putting the needle on the top of my hand before a surgery. I started to get a sharp pain in my stomach put my head back and I instantly felt like I was sleeping almost and woke up super sweaty and a nurse saying my name.

Being knocked out is nothingness. You do not remember anything.
