Sometimes Dan really knocks ‘em out of the park. I can’t improve on his response to letter #2.

I do get tired of the whole _______, but with songs schtick, but I’ve got to admit that The Nanny (a super campy comedy/romance that includes a Broadway money man as a main character) seems like one of the best possible properties for the format.

I can’t imagine that conversation with the boss.

Dan calls LW#3's boyfriend abusive, which is correct, but it’s worth noting that LW#1's boyfriend is perhaps just this side of outright abuse and LW#2's boyfriend is verbally abusive. The big issue with LW#1 is control. Making someone dump their friends is controlling and often a precursor to violence. And while I can

My sympathy for the daughter is deeper. It’s not the fact that her mom pulled this stunt; it’s that she has poor enough judgement to actually go through with it. There’s no way that this incident is the most damaging behavior that her daughter has had to put up with.

It’s kind of a given that children and Drew Barrymore and anyone else who can pass for young can walk right into a school without being affirmatively identified. What’s the solution? Should we go back to one-room school houses where only 15 children attend and strangers stick out like a sore thumb? Are schools

Yep. The only two people I can think of who have been irrevocably cancelled are Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein, and it’s possible the only reason they’ll never work again is because both are past retirement age *and* in prison. Everyone else who was “cancelled” is getting at least some work. Louis CK is doing standup

I’m very happy that a new season is coming, but I do love the symmetry the writers were going for by beginning the show with Lucifer, King of Hell, and attempting to end it with Lucifer, King of Heaven.

Amenadiel becoming a cop is a bit odd, but it does make sense in that now that Lucifer and Chloe quit the police force and Dan is dead, the show will need a way to A) incorporate Ella into the plot, and B) give Lucifer and Chloe excuses to get involved in cases when and if need be. (I think everyone agrees with LaToya

In her best Maze after she’s told she can’t kill something voice: . . . “I guess that would work, too.”

In case DeviantArt didn’t already have enough inspiration . . .

Ella can be a bit impulsive, but I have trouble imagining that she wouldn’t have everyone’s best interests in mind.

She could definitely pull off imperious and intimidating, and she could do so without the benefit of Maze’s spiky robes.

So who does everyone think should become the new God at this point?

Given that this episode and the last were all about showcasing two of the non-Lucifer and Chloe members of the Lucifer Scooby Gang, I have high hopes that we’ll see an Ella-focused episode before the season ends.

I like your point about Chloe asking for what she needs. For all that Lucifer is a ridiculous show with a ridiculous premise about often ridiculous circumstances and people, it is often very grown-up about romantic relationships. Lucifer and Eve didn’t make sense in the long term, but they realized that while they had

Part of me thought that this whole scenario was, a la blowing Dan up, another way for God to take his revenge for Dan sleeping with the ex-Mrs. God/ a way to help Dan. In spite of Lucifer being a prankster (and the literal devil), this sort of “prank” seems out of character for him. It’s a pretty far distance between

The show specifically says that Lucifer has slept with multiple men, but FOX was a bit too conservative to do more than introduce us to some of these men after the fact, and Lucifer’s relationship with Chloe prevents a lot of potential Lucifer-random dude hookups on Netflix.

Also, what about Azrael? Are we supposed to think of the two post-season 3 episodes as canon? Because even if not, Azrael (and her blade) have still been talked about a lot, so, it’s even weirder than Uriel going unmentioned that the only(?) other living heavenly family member still residing in this universe is never
