I really wanted to hear Nathaniel call him Dog Josh though.

I mean, what the hell is a “buttload” of cats?
Heather just stating the intended reaction instead of actually doing it.
The cat song was the hardest I’d laughed at any song this season...until about a minute later when the Trent theme song happened.
Did anyone else’s catch the butter ad on the bus that ran Trent over? It was blurry, but definitely on it. That butter ad is my favorite running joke by far.
It goes back further than that, too, with Valencia reminding Rebecca that pursuing a guy in a relationship hasn’t gone well for her in the past, and “Yeah, it’s never drugs” pulling Anna and her poor cat back into focus.
The “All Things Considered” apron. Kills me every time.
So, what did we all make of the fact that Nathaniel’s girlfriend is apparently also seeing a therapist named Dr. Akopian (sp?), but who is male? I’m pretty sure she said, “I even talked about it with my therapist, Dr. Akopian, he’s very good.”
“Yes, we saw that article in the Atlantic... And then we peed on the Atlantic.”
Alison Bechdel’s gender is irrelevant here, I think. To me, Heather means that by simply mentioning a test that is about how much women talk about men, you are actually talking about men. So you fail.
I feel like Trent is on his own journey. We don’t have the kind of narrative access to him as we do to Rebecca, so we just see the weirdness. But giving him that theme song means he’s about where she was a year or two ago.
I like that Rebecca is apparently good friends with BJ Novak, no backstory given.
YOU DON’T GET TO SING IT
I’m now wondering if Lucifer can get his devil face back by actually punishing someone - I might be wrong, but I don’t think he’s actually, properly, punished someone for a while. He’s stopped or otherwise beaten up criminals, sure, but you could argue he hasn’t actually doled out appropriate punishment. His…
Also incredibly amusing was Lucifer’s reaction to Chloe pretending they were a couple in the diamond store. You would have thought he’d lean right into it, especially considering how he feels about Chloe AND how well he did it with Pierce in the suburbs, but instead he could barely keep up because he was so affronted…
For how goofy he is about 75% of the time, it’s amazing when Tom Ellis switches over to smoldering, barely-concealed fury and intimidation. That scene where he confronts Jay (“Ah, the slow clap. Never gets old.”) was legit both intense and tense. Awesome.
I really, really wish Tom Welling would stay for a long time on this wonderful, wonderful show, but his character’s arc is by all means counting down to an end already. On one hand, having a great character with a clear beginning and end to their arc is good, but on the other hand, it’s Tom Welling on Lucifer. Nothing…
This shows first time interactions between it’s main characters are always great. Trixie and Ella meeting for the first time was pretty damn great as was Ell and Maze, though not as much. And of course Pierce and Amenadial with another really great fight scene.
It’s almost insulting when you consider that in the MU Terra has conquered pretty much the whole Galaxy, which must have required a hell of a lot of planning. And here we have the Terran No1 and No2 (or 3, if MU Burnham was No2), who have survived any number of assassination attempts and plots, running on an “it’ll be…
Well yeah, but even back then it was played as rapey. Have we ever had a more casual use of a non-consensual mindmeld. (maybe Enterprise? Although I think it almost always made a really big deal of melding)
