An excellent review which brings a whole new light upon this very different Lucifer episode. Great job.

The whole theme of “The devil made me do it” is one that’s been ingrained in the character’s DNA from very early on, so it’s nice to see the writers go to that well for a full episode - though it was not the first time it was part of a key Lucifer moment:

What a review. You truly are the best TV reviewer on here. This episode was fantastic, and I really hope the success of these season two holdovers lead to more experimentation in the future. I enjoyed the heck out of the “outsider-looking-in” perspective. It reminded me a bit of how “Person of Interest” would use…

This episode was excellent. The way it unfolded was marvelous.

Had to laugh at the info under Charoleete’s name “Sister? Step Mom? Lover? WTF?”

That bit about ‘I never made *anyone* do *anything* is a straightup steal from the Lucifer chapter in Gaiman’s ‘Sandman,’ and I loved it. I’ve just started watching the show in these last few weeks, and I really appreciated that they took one of the most insightful bits of the Lucifer legend (as embodied in the…

Excellent episode and a great write-up; you made me think of tangents in the show and this ep that I hadn’t thought of. I really had to work to follow the timeline; they didn’t drop enough hints that the first half of the show was a year in the past (I missed the scarface reference), and even thought, “Dan? Back on…

Dillahunt did his creepy smile-like-you-learnt-from-a-book and instantly made me think of Cromartie.

I deeply appreciate you calling him Cromartie.

Polaris’ attempt at training is hilarious and stupid. It’s great.

Did my eyes deceive me, or is Raymond Barry playing Papa Strucker next week? This show is punching above its weight class with the guest stars. Also, i deeply appreciated Cromartie calling his mutant sleeper agents hounds.

the other Trek shows kind of eschewed trying to get a large audience. This show is using the Trek brand to get old scifi viewers while creating a show to cater to the 24 crowd. Its apparently getting the ratings it needs to survive though, so I’m sure we will see more. I wasn’t too impressed with ANY season 1 of Star…

Star Trek would really not work if they actually thought through the ramification of even half of their magic technology.

Erica expressing how much she wanted Carol’s childbirth to be painful I thought was the highlight of the episode—a rare chance on the show for Erica to be an actual character (and for Gail, reining her in, to be a character in an actual relationship).

The big plan - beam on board undetected; place several comically obvious sensors; make a zillion jumps; shoot a whole bunch - was several levels more byzantine than it should have been. Just load up a photon with sensors for detecting gaseous anomalies, and be done with it.

The wreckage looked like destroyed Narn ships. They’ve jumped into Babylon 5.

He was one jump away from retirement, dammit!

The scene where Nathan shows Maci Nathan For You was such a hilarious, meta moment, and I got a kick out of her reaction to the show. “You’re pretty funny, but kinda mean! You just lie to all these people!”

I just got home from the live screening of the episode with Nathan in Los Angeles. Afterwards, he and Bill came down and said a few words. Both got a standing ovation, but it was amazing to watch Bill walk down the aisle with a packed theater of thousand people cheering for him. The best episodes of NFY are the ones…

I went through so many different emotions watching this... Wow.
