Hank: "We're not here to hurt you, unless you give us an excuse." An excuse? What kind of corrupt cop nonsense is that?

I'll admit that I originally watched Lucifer because NBC failed to give 'God Cop' a full season order, but the show surprises me. You can see some of the better writers chafing at the procedural straitjacket and at least trying to make the murders relevant to whatever philosophical question Lucifer is wrestling with…

Total protonic reversal.

So, according to Grimm Pregnancy Rules, if Evenard gets the campaign lion-girl pregnant, then the real Renard becomes a Grimm, but the lion-girl gets demoted to Mausherz and her baby becomes the modern-day incarnation of Altered Beast.

How has the show lost track of its central conceit? Was Ray recruited because his disappearance would have "a minimal effect on the timeline", or does Ray's disappearance free up his brother to begin production on the Killbot Hellscape?

"(They could have even met some late ’50s DC characters, like, say, the Challengers of the Unknown.)"

"Manny is actually an asset to the subplot…"

Let's just pause a minute to deal with how badly the show depicts immigrants. Hive, an immigrant to our world, is depicted as a parasite who should be left to die in a barren wasteland (SHIELD destroying the portal is really no different than Trump screaming "Build a wall! An intergalactic wall!"). Then, when he finds…

You did not have the titular line!

I like your thoughts, and I'd agree with those who think it's likely not an explicitly Christian artifact like the Cross or Spear. Mythology is full of magical trees/wood, from Yggdrasil to Izanami.

Every time I see HexenBitsie in one of her ridiculous outfits, my inner Kevin Hart yells "Why are you wearing a disguise? Bitch, no one knows you!"

Which is why you'll never see one. Sava is what grad students call a prog-hack… he can call anything "problematic", but is incapable of expanding upon why in a way that doesn't completely collapse in on itself.

"and a third who probably has regular customers who would miss her at Starbucks, have no impact on the timeline?"

"Yo-Yo was on her way back to Bogota, albeit armed with a S.H.I.E.L.D. M.A.S.K. communication watch to stay in touch."

Yes, this. She looks very Finnish, if anything.

Just because it needs saying… it seems pretty clear that Ecbert is sleeping with Judith because she slept with Athelstan. It's as close as he'll ever get, sadly.

Was that the point? Been a while since I played either, but I do recall that in KOTOR1 the over-arching theme seemed to be "The Council was wrong, they stayed out of the fight even though millions of innocents were dying." Then of course KOTOR2 added an extra dimension by suggesting that Revan didn't fall so much as…

It's forcey-worcey.

I've been on the creeped-upon end of that situation before and… I'm just not seeing it. When did Winn make Kara out as guilty for not reciprocating his feelings?

I'm a little fuzzy on Indigo's opening gambit. Why did she leak the adultery website to CatCo, and then get angry when they didn't publish it?
