But when I finally watched it, after I had already watched the whole season 3, it appeared blindingly obvious that this episode sets up everything that doesn't work in this season 3. It is so disappointing, and even more disappointing as I had huge expectations about the gorgeous white wings seen at the end of season 2.<br />Yesterday, I tried to finally rewatch season 3, the one I don't like. I was motivated, certain that this time I would manage to go all the way. So, obviously, I launched this episode first, and even laughed at the beginning with Mr Saidoutbitch...<br />...<br />...and I had to interrupt to yell after only 13 minutes. Less than the quarter of an hour. Within less than the quarter of an hour, I was already fed up with Pierce, his coldness and his gratuitous insults, Ella contentedly admiring him and kissing his ass, Chloe angry with Lucifer for no reason, and nobody believing Lucifer although he was saying the thruth and actually had been kidnapped. Not to mention the scene of an unbearable misogyny and vulgarity with Josh the guy who hired the kidnapping company.<br />I calmed down, came back to viewing, and THEN came the icing on the cake: the scene where Lucifer wants to show Chloe his devil face and hasn't it anymore. It was going to be his bravest gesture, his opening to the woman he loves, and... NOTHING! The writers chose to hide the truth from Chloe!<br />Chloe is de facto excluded from the plot, their relationship is ruined, and as if it was not enough, it is with an extra toilet joke ("oh my God, you're gassy?", I can't believe it...)<br />And to add insult to injury, there is this sentence that Lucifer shouts at the end "I define who I am", ironical enough to puke when you know that he actually regained his wings and lost his face by himself because of how he feels, and on the other side Chloe's ridiculous babbling in front of Pierce when she tries to justify herself as if she had anything to prove and turns out to pour her heart out about her argument with Lucifer... FACEPALM!!!<br />Both characters beginning to be ruined...<br />Nothing works in this episode, it foils any single expectation the viewers could have had in a disconcerting way, and it is plain obvious that the foundations it lays for season 3 are dubious to say the less. I watched it, but now I don't want to watch the next ones anymore, and I'm after all NOT rewatching season 3.<br />I still don't understand how the writers who wrote the awesome season 4 managed to screw season 3 that much...<br />Camille Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717641530758636503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88589613951300436932017-10-04T08:22:06.380-04:002017-10-04T08:22:06.380-04:00I enjoyed it.

The wings on the floor of the wardrobe actually made me go "awww" and I was surprised when they reappeared. So can't Lucifer simply show Chloe his wings this time? I absolutely agree that the way he keeps trying to tell her the truth and not succeeding is getting old.<br /><br />Tom Welling! I like Tom Welling. I reviewed <i>Smallville</i> for way, way too long. And I thought this new character was fun and I was also thinking, no, way too obvious that he's the big bad. Here's hoping he's a great big red herring with another unexpected subplot of his own.<br /><br />Good to hear why Maze was missing because I was worried for a moment that she was permanently gone. <br /><br />Was Ella always this crazy, or are they ramping it up? <br />Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-55495478228121913332017-10-04T07:51:19.185-04:002017-10-04T07:51:19.185-04:00Tricia Helfer was in credits. I thought we're ...Tricia Helfer was in credits. I thought we're done with her? She is a good actress, but... I just didn't like her last season. At all.<br /><br />I actually fast-forwarded that scene with Luci trying to reveal his true face to Chloe. It was painfully obvious that it won't work.<br /><br />In season 1 we also had something that should work, but didn't. Lucifer's invincibility. And, some time later, we discovered that, surprise, it only fails in Chloe's presence. Are we certain Lucifer's true face doesn't work like that as well? Maybe he becomes fully human when she is around?<br /><br />My guess is that Pierce would end up on the side of good. Arrogant and insensitive bastard, but ultimately good. And, since we already have one who fits that description, one of them has to die. I wonder, which one.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.com
