I’ve been doing a lot of rewatching lately, so my memories are kind of jumbled, but I believe Lucifer has even said (possibly in Season One?) he chose his accent because it’s the best one. I do know for certain though that Ellis decided not to do Lucifer with an American accent (as that was the plan at first, despite

I get what you are saying about forgetting that two characters are the same actor, but I really did not get that here. I think it was probably the atrocious accent (which may have been intentional), but I never once forgot that it was Tom Ellis. They don’t even act all that differently except that Michael is a lot

Did a little fist bump when it was revealed that Chloe immediately saw through the ruse. Michael’s affects make me wonder if Lucifer having the only “British” accent so far has to do with his rebellion/the mirror version thing. Is that his natural speaking voice, or is it something he forced himself to turn into his

They shot the entire season. The only thing affected was the final episode, which they were only able to shoot about40% of.

I can’t deal with this(half of the) season only getting 8 episodes. It’s been a long wait, and 8 is not enough!

I think they are trying to show how everyone has been throwing themselves into things to avoid dealing with Luci’s absence.

The current president went through six bankruptcies, coke-sniffed his way through a live TV debate, cannot pronounce the word ‘Thailand’, and struggled getting through a simple mental competency test as though it was the bar exam. But it’s Britney Spears who needs her wealth put into conservatorship?

This is fucking absurd. She’s an adult, she’s clearly competent enough to perform, yet she can’t be in control of the proceeds of those performances.

It’s Britney, bitch. (Please don’t take this seriously. I couldn’t resist.  I like your spelling better, for the record.). I totally agree. The whole thing is grossly patriarchal, and freaking out over a woman shaving her head seems like hand-wringing from people who can’t imagine a healthy young woman doing such a

Very excited for a new season of Lucifer! I am a little apprehensive about how this season will go, but coming off of the stellar fourth season, I have hope that it will be great. And thanks for taking the time to write these reviews, LaToya!

Brittany is not ‘out of control’. She is not disabled. She goes to work, does that work and takes care of her private shit. She’s a victim of cruel, persistent gas-lighting and it should stop. And please don’t come at me about the time she shaved her head. People who have managed to escape the influence of toxic

PoI would be the perfect comparison, probably. Like PoI, it definitely (well, mostly) gets its characters right away. Though I think the greatest issue with Lucifer’s first season is the major arc (once you hear the word “Palmetto,” you’ll never want to hear it again). The first season is definitely competent... just

You are correct, as Maze is always dressed to fight (and win) in Mortal Kombat.

Yeah, it’s got good bones. And unlike the first season of the comparable Legends of Tomorrow, it’s not a slog to watch.

Also, the demon possession hit was SO COOL.  They’re finally toying what having the Devil solving crimes can really be, and I hope we get more supernatural stuff like that soon. “He’s the King of Hell, so he’s great.”

I distinctly remember one of the people at the nexium session I attended many, many years ago discussing how he had bought a BMW z3 as ‘the car that was going to make him happy.’ That should give you an idea of the white, upper middle class navel gazer ethos of that cult.

...he’s a humanitarian (who doesn’t run any charities), a scientist (who has no credentials), and a philosopher with one of the highest IQs ever recorded (or so he says)

She will forever magnanimously remind all the eligible voters who did nothing to stop Trump in 2016 that they are responsible for every horrible thing he did. The people who chose not to stop Trump are just as guilty as the people who voted for him. Every single person who wanted to prevent Trump from inflicting pain

Gritfing off the wall which was itself a grift to win an election. We are in the age of the meta-grift.
