Oof, I fully agree with this. Gugu’s character and her story was absolutely the best part of the show. It’s incredibly sad seeing the intelligent writing for her character in s1 and then looking at the horrible writing of s2. What happened in that writer’s room in between seasons?! It’s so gross to kill her off and…

YAY, congratulations on your new job! Your writing for all the shows I’ve read have been awesome so I’m super stoked that you’ve got a new job that I hope you like!

Your recaps have been brilliant! Glad to have been able to read them after every episode. Also, ugh, I feel so bad for Belinda. I knew this ending was coming, but it still hurts.

Ugh I feel the same way.

Dang, sorry to disappoint you but because of COVID scheduling issues she had to drop out! I just read an article that said Cobie Smulders has replaced her, which is still cool cuz she’s a good actor as well.

This reminds me of Big Little Lies cuz if they are discussing about a second season, then why are they competing in limited series for the Emmys? That seems unfair, especially because they would have surely had these ideas floating around earlier because of the great reception. It’s not like one season shows can’t…

I do wonder why Julie even thought that video would be damning for Zoya. The rich kids on this show are portrayed as rebellious and openly against authority, like how they get their teachers regularly fired, so wouldn’t the whole “f**k school” thing have Zoya gain brownie points with her peers?

I laughed so much when Julien was like, “why? do you wanna date her too?.” I think she’s shaping up to be my favorite character on the show! I was pleasantly surprised that she didn’t take out her anger on her dad’s boyfriend. That happens way too often in shows, so it was nice that they didn’t go that route with her…

I quite enjoyed this first episode! Those two girls were so mean and judgy, and it really reminded me of some folks at my college. It’s kinda making me dread going back after a year and a half at home, lol.

Yep, I agree with how it was pretty bad roping Zoya into all this. Also, I can’t believe her character is 14?! From the trailers, it seems like Julien’s now ex-bf and her might get romantically involved, which is kinda weird to me that he would be into his ex-gf’s 14-year-old half-sister lol.

Yeah, I agree with most of what you said but, I think it’s weird that he has an issue with shipping when he has said before that he requested many times that he and Black Widow should be a thing, so why does he only now have an issue with friendships being turned into something romantic?

Hmm, now that you mention it, I do think the motivation of recreating her timeline for the sake of a lover is a huge possibility. In a few interviews I read/watched, they mentioned that there would be a few love stories, so I think this might be one. Though I agree with you, your revenge theory sounds more interesting!

Since the show is about the version of Loki right after the avengers movie events, do you guys think just watching that movie alone would be enough prep for the show?

Thanks for the tip!

You’re so right about the cop stuff, and I also wish Amenadiel took up some other job. They’re actually going to have one more new detective character next season played by Merrin Dungey. Also, D.B Woodside talks about his cop storyline in the entertainment tonight Interview. That part starts at the 8:00 mark. I…

Oh yes, that was so heartbreaking. Everyone acted really well in that scene.

Oh, that’s great! I should rewatch that episode then since I was doing work while watching that one.

Been loving your recaps! I really liked that scene with Ella and God. Her journey with God and faith since season 4 has been quite touching. Also, I hope Ella gets to meet Azrael again. If I’m not wrong her standalone episode from season 3 isn’t part of the main storyline right?

Honestly, my mom thought there was something off at the beginning itself when Lucifer was talking to Dan at the station. She thought he was grinning way too much for no proper reason, but I just brushed it off as the actor maybe overdoing it a bit. We didn’t guess the ending tho, I actually thought it was a hell loop.…

Ah I’m excited for this! The special episode that came out a few weeks back was really nice.
