Yes, I enjoyed that scene! And of course, he wound up screwing things up. Hilarious!

Finally some decent episodes are coming down the pike. This season compared to the two previous seasons has been underperforming. Superman as far as I am concerned has not brought anything to the table, and they have been dragging out the luci/chloe relationship. Now it appears that they are back on a collision course, so I might have to retract that this season has under performed.

I was unable to view the entire episode, due to inclement weather in my area – they kept breaking into the program with news of tornado watches, etc.

I’m not too happy about Cain’s romantic interest in Chloe, but perhaps the relationship will prove interesting. I’ll give it some time.

Ya know, emotions are funny – I can deal with seeing rampant mindless violence and gore on shows like “The Walking Dead”, but seeing Trixie getting her feelings hurt by Maze’s insensitive remarks felt like a punch to the face. OUCH!!

He told the bartender he was not really romantically interested in Chloe, just manipulating her as part of his scheme to top himself.

Then there is Lucifer, who actually likes Chloe, but refuses to get too intimate with her ever since he found out she was created by Amenadiel under mysterious circumstances, because he suspects she may not have completely free will where he is concerned. So, poor Chloe 🙂

I was disappointed that they didn’t address that any further this week–maybe not resolved it yet, but at least had a scene with Chloe talking to Trixie about it. Poor kid.

Something seems off lately, like the writing team has changed. Characters are acting strangely and the plot/flow seems uneven. Still an interesting show.

Yes, the plot for every episode seems to be that Lucifer gets upset about something, spend all epi obsessing and trying to work the current case into it, and then getting over it. Wash, rinse, repeat. It is getting hackneyed. Maybe they can lure the writers of The Good Place over or something.

I’ve been guessing that Cain is interested in Chloe purely on the basis of her “Makes immortals mortal” superpower.

Does he know about that, though? I can’t remember if it was ever revealed to him.

He mentioned it specifically - it was what drew him to Los Angelas with Lucifer getting shot in season 1.

It was the entire reason he went with Chloe to the cabin and got shot by sinnerman.

Ah, okay. I guess I need to go watch them again! Thanks. 🙂

Oh yeah, I remember that now! But I’m guessing that Chloe only has that effect on Lucifer.

Or…on a supernatural being she loves. Hence Cain trying to cozy up to her.

Yeah that’s about it. He’s turning into a sort of Sheldon (from the Big Bang Theory) character when it comes to Chloe. I’m hoping this is just a lull leading up to a new interesting storyline, because whiny Lucifer and “will they or won’t they?” isn’t enough.

Monday’s episode was pretty awesome and has renewed my interest in the show. Lucifer is acting more like himself and Maze as well. Still don’t understand why Maze was so upset with Linda and Chloe but maybe she isn’t used to having emotions and is just immature. There was a lot going on, and a nice cliffhanger with Cain losing his mark.

Yep, it was really nice seeing Lucifer back to himself (and the whole ‘sleep-deprived’ sequence was funny too).

I’ll be glad when Cain is gone. I still can’t figure out how anybody could possibly think he’s hotter than Lucifer. 😛 Not only do I not think he’s the least bit hot, but I find him and the canoodling between him and Chloe to be annoying, not romantic.

I do wonder how Lucifer and Maze are going to work things out, though.

Yes, I’ll be glad when Cain is gone. He is not remotely hot, and he and Chloe have NO chemistry, no matter how many times Ella says it. He needs to go, and Ella needs to go. There are too many kooky forensics females on cop shows, and Ella is the worst.

Loved the sleep-deprived sequence. Anyone think that Maze will go through with killing Cain after all?

Maze wants Amenadiel and Lucifer and Linda to care about her more than they care about anyone else. She hates Chloe because Lucifer loves her. Maze is all id, with the emotional maturity of a two-year-old, unable to care for anyone else, except as far as their welfare impinges on her own. The question is, is she capable of maturing? Of learning to care? Sometimes it seems as if she is.

Oh, yes, I agree completely.

I liked Ella when she first started out–she was a little kooky, yeah, but I liked the fact that she was a believer. I thought she might bring a new perspective to the show. But this season she seems almost like a parody character. Nobody would get away with acting like she does as a forensics person.

I do think she has pretty good chemistry with Lucifer, though.
