Replace the headline with “James Gray defends decision to cast non-gay actors in gay roles” and see how the comments change.

Not quite. It’s a power play in the larger fight to wrest more immigration control from Canada. Québec already has more overview and input on those who wish to move there, but they’re angling for more, so they can prevent non French speakers from immigrating there at all, and favor Francophones (meaning mostly Africa,…

As someone who recently played and finished Jedi:Fallen Order, this episode made me wonder:

Except she's not saying that at all. She's more upset at Barbara Walters. 

There’s been a lot of messy confusion throughout this series (to say nothing of playing fast and loose with bith NuWho canon and I imagine that of the series as a whole), but if we get some strong Osgood scenes beyond a quick visual cameo, something good might have come from this whole thing.

Might be a bad way to sell a show, but it’s worth watching The Leftovers only to get to watch its final episode. There's a magic in it that Carrie Coon weaves on screen that can't be explained. 

I mean, BCS has surpassed BB in its last season, so...

The show had one more direct line to Gaiman, besides the leaving hell and opening Lux premise:

Finding out you won't be doing this season's reviews is the worst Lucifer news of this final outing! 

Three years later...

The Lucifer comic series does strike a good balance for that actually; Michael’s daughter has angelic nature, but it’s not until Lucifer gets her the power of creation and fights to get her installed as Goddess that she becomes the most powerful being - and its made clear it could have been others. 

In the comic, Jesus is not mentioned that I recall, for one, and in Gaiman fashion, all afterlives exist, depending on faith - American Gods rules for deities apply here. As in the Lucifer show, it's a person's guilt that sends them to hell as well. 

That Mobius didn't correct Loki when he said "Cold comfort for a dead man" felt like a huge snub and an intention to fully keep AoS at best unmentioned if not outright retconned. As it is, they'd have to consider their own time shenanigans "sanctioned" to fit with this show. 

To be fair to the source material, over there, the grandchild is the most developed character in the series, arguably more than Lucifer himself. 

The comic does indeed have a ‘God leaves Creation’ story - and like here, it’s the final arc - but what is more amazing about the fact the show has looped back to source material beats is how this Lucifer is the complete anti-thesis of Sandman/Mike Carey’s Lucifer.

That nod to The Good Place was so subtle and gave me a huge smile - which was already there because it came from the lips of Mr Said Out Bitch.

I have to echo the total gut-punch that this episode turned out to be. After Naked and Afraid, I thought we were more or less done on the Dan character arc for the season; that the show went there was a total blind-side - and seeing the reactions of even Maze and Lucifer added a layer of emotion to it.

Outside of this episode alone, I’ve loved the numerous little nods and Easter eggs to the source material that have been cropping up in this final run; the centaurs being one of them! They exist in Lucifer’s universe (which Mom’s universe was a clear parallel to), and the whole god retiring storyline along with how to…

All the bonus episodes were filmed for season 2; they fit in between seasons 2 and 3 (Season had a 22 episode order, it got cut down to 18, thus, 26 episode season 3)

Seems highly unlikely, given the casting for Lucifer being done. It’ll provide the proper context for Lucifer leaving Hell (the incident with Dream at the very beginning), but this show has departed from the source material - which is more Mike Carey’s Lucifer sequel/spinoff to Sandman - to really reconcile it...…
