It would be nice if someone other than Dr. Linda knew about Lucifer’s true nature. At this point, they all should realize that he is not an ordinary human. He’s displayed superhuman strength on a number of occasions, right in front of Chloe.
It’s like there’s something that prevent humans from recognizing divinity, even when it’s right in front of them. They all seem to forget what they’ve witnessed, except for Linda, who saw the devil face, and was tortured by a goddess. The characters who have seen his devil face, or who have been to hell, do tend to remember.
Good point!
Great episode. I guess Lucifer still hasn’t connected the dots and realized he is only physically vulnerable when Chloe is around? I thought he was going to put himself in danger at the Vegas club and Chloe would show up for extra drama. I liked the ending they did much better.
Lucifer knows. They even used it as a plot device last season.
I don’t think that ‘something’ needs to be anything other than a standard human ability to rationalize things - if you see something supernatural, your first thought isn’t ‘supernatural’, it’s I must have misunderstood.
The bartender shoots at Lucifer and he doesn’t flicnch/bleed? Must have missed. Lucifer threw that guy through a window? I guess he works out.
Dr Linda, on the other hand, has not only been told he is the devil, she has been shown it. Hard to rationalize the devil face away (and it explains some of the other things she has experienced better than her rationalizations (like her attraction to Lucifer in the first place)).
Agreed, that’s why I said “It’s like”. The human ability to rationalize away data that doesn’t fit preconceptions is amazing. But I do think they are taking it just a tad bit too far in this show. Lucifer has shown himself to be extraordinary too many time for them to keep ingrowing it.
I hope Amenadiel comes back soon, and starts getting his personal power back soon. Not necessarily angelic, but just some inner strength needs to return.
Hey, there will be a new episode tonight : Lucifer, Season Three, Episode Eight (November 20, 2017) – “Chloe Does Lucifer” !
Looking forward to it! I now have a Hulu trial in case my antenna isn’t up to task.
Anyone know how many episodes we get this season? Is it 13 or 20+?
22, from what I heard. They might break them up, though, and have a hiatus around the end of the year. Not sure about that.
Taking bets right now that this won’t mean anything like what it sounds like. Any takers? 
Oh, I’m sure that is just a play on words, myself.
TV Lucifer keeps dropping hints about how he was acquainted with writers like Shakespeare, Wilde, et al., but hasn’t he only been out of Hell for a couple of decades, tops? Presumably it was just short trips to Earth before?
That’s what I’m thinking!
Well, if the show crosses over with The Good Place, then he met them in The Bad Place. 
Amenadial (sp?) was still in heaven when the series started. He was able to visit whenever. Presumably, Lucifer was able to do so as well. I suspect the problem is his abandoning of duty, rather than being on Earth as such.
I liked the genius bonus Oscar Wilde titbit. He was straight before he met me. Wilde actually did have several liaisons with women, until he married when he started focusing on men exclusively. (Its though that sticking to men was him rationalising it as not being adultery).
This episode had its cute moments, but it wasn’t one of my favorites. Too many places where I had to stretch my disbelief.
Example: I’m sorry, but no human being with eyes or ears, male or female, is ever going to call Lucifer “boring” and refuse him entry into an exclusive dating party. Aside from the looks, the fashion sense, the charm, the money, and the accent, he’s the freakin’ owner of Lux!
Also, everybody kept going on about how devastatingly attractive what’s-his-name was. Uh…really? I know attractiveness is relative, but you’d think they’d have picked a more conventionally attractive guy to play that part. I wasn’t buying it.
Third, I know Chloe is a cop and a tomboy, but she’s proved on other occasions that she knows how to act in cocktail-party situations. There’s no way she’d have been as awkward as she was at that party, even *with *Lucifer “coaching” her. That whole scene was painful to watch.
The scene with Lucifer, Chloe, and Trixie playing Monopoly was cute, though I honestly can’t see Luci being talked into playing a dull board game even by those two.
Yeah, I know, I’m overthinking it. But I’m ready to get back to the Sinnerman storyline next week.
I rather enjoyed the Monopoly scene with Trixie and Chloe. Super-cute!
I liked the Monopoly scene, and I liked the way that it tied up at the end, with the shoe on Lucifer’s piano, and the girl of the night in the top hat. It seemed he was less than enthusiastic about her. I agree that Chloe at the cocktail party was poorly written and cringe-worthy. I’m also getting tired of people referring to Dan as handsome. I find him very unattractive and meh. Glad to see Amenadiel back, with confidence and perspective.
But i liked last week’s episode better, the one with Linda’s ex-husband. That was some good writing.
