I don’t think that’s really the Sinnerman, though. They caught him far too easily. I wonder who he’s working for. ---

And of course, he’s not just blind - he actually doesn’t have eyeballs anymore. That could figure into it also. ---

I don’t think it’s the Sinnerman either. And Lucifer probably could have gotten out of the vault. Seems like the door would have been the weakest part from what was shown. When Maze found Lucifer in there I was really afraid she was going to close the door behind her and we would wind up with the old trope of 2 characters locked in a room to hash their differences out. But no, I am almost always pleased with the writing on Lucifer. I’m liking Tricia Helfer more now that she isn’t the bumbling crazy mother of Lucifer. Still don’t see a lot of point in her character though. ---

> [@control-z](#): > > … > > I’m liking Tricia Helfer more now that she isn’t the bumbling crazy mother of Lucifer. Still don’t see a lot of point in her character though. The character is better, but she adds nothing to the show and shouldn’t be a main character, but used occasionally. The producer must really like her or something. ---

Well, if that’s true, ya can’t blame him. She’s gorgeous, and a good actress, to boot. The only problem is that the others are convinced that she was Lucifer’s stepmom. I don’t know how the writers are going to handle that. Or maybe they won’t; it might be best if they just never addressed the issue again. I dunno… ---

Well, let’s face it – how often do you see unattractive women in starring roles on TV? Of course they are all at least reasonably attractive! I think that Maze is the hottest female character on the show, by the way… ---

I think that Maze is the hottest female character on the show, by the way… I agree with the first part, it is a TV show so none of the regulars on the show are unattractive. I understand the second part, Maze is written and played as hot and she is hot looking. Myself, I like the cute one, Ella. ---

I think we are leading up to Lucifer discovering that he has a lot more powers other than discovering desires, as set up by Dr. Linda thinking that discovering desire is a pretty feeble angelic power, compared to stopping time or seeing the future. Lucifer has something else he has never discovered, because he has been fixated on desire and on punishment. Finding out what it is or they are could be interesting. Maze has gone from superbadass to being very emotionally vulnerable…don’t know what I think of that. Lucifer can be insightful when he is forced to be, as he made Maze ask herself the right questions. I also don’t see the point of Tricia Helfer’s character, and I don’t have the hormonal bias in her favor. Dislike Pierce, who also seems pointless, unless he turns out to be the Sinnerman. Which, given the scapegoat’s reaction to him (“Do what you have to do”) makes it seem more likely. ---

Myself, I like the cute one, Ella. I like that the men are hormone-stirring, too. Tom Ellis, D.B. Woodside is overall good, but his eyes are magnificent. The others are not bad. So much better than shows with ugly men married to beautiful women. ---

I didn’t think he was the Sinnerman until he gouged his eyes out. For some reason that was freaky-deaky enough that it convinced me. I’m thinking that the Sinnerman doesn’t have anything to do with Lucifer’s wings coming back or other changes to his powers. Those things are happening for other reasons, possibly “Dad” is pleased with Lucifer’s personal growth? Sinnerman is just taking advantage of Lucifer’s uncertainty to claim the credit. ---

Shocking almost no matter me, Pierce is the Sinnerman. Though making him Kane/Cain was not what I expected, and is there a connection with the wings / Devil face?
