They weren't bad. They were just... there.<br /><br />I fast-forwarded through them. Although: were they filmed in Musso and Frank's?

I remember an earlier episode where Chloe said "we had a moment, didn't we?" and I was searching my brain for that moment because I felt nothing at all. Even back when Pierce was telling her she was special, my thought was, "man, he likes to play mind games with his employees. What a creep!"<br />Granted, it's difficult to exude a lot of chemistry when you're playing characters so walled in (it was in issue in Smallville, too), but he really did have some chemistry with that Chloe.<br /><br />I'm not sure where they're headed with Maze. I liked the Blind Date scene a few episodes ago because it was a really great way for Maze to confront them in a way that showed how she felt, when I was expecting something blunter and more violent. Frankly, Amenadiel is coming off as a real jerk for me this season. Maybe self-absorption is a fundamental angel trait.<br /><br />And yes, Lucifer-Chloe is getting old and irritating. There's still lots of charm in the show from week to week in secondary scenes, but it feels like their long story arcs are floundering to me.magrittenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61645250485345044772018-04-09T20:34:00.372-04:002018-04-09T20:34:00.372-04:00Maze's implosion does seem to be building to s...Maze's <i>implosion</i> does seem to be building to something epic. Part of me thinks it's the writers either giving reason for Lesley-ann Brandt to me missing from season 4 completely or just for the beginning as she was in season 3. But mostly I think it's so she can have a major character growth moment. If a demon can learn to forgive, can't any of us do the same? I'm hoping it's the latter and I'm also hoping it's for a much less lame idea than mine. <br /><br />Lucifer and Chloe's relationship is no closer to being realised than it was at the beginning of the season. They get close, Lucifer pushes them apart. They're apart Lucifer wants to get close. Rinse and repeat. At this point the only way Chloe is going to find out is by mistake. My money is on her walking in on Lucifer either with his wings out or after he's gotten his Devil face back. It's a crappy way for her to find out but at least we can then get on with the next stage of their relationship and move the show forward. I just hope it doesn't ruin the whole dynamic like it did in Castle. Chloe finding out may not be everything we hope for. <br /><br />It was the tour guide, Niel, who had the episode title during the segway scene down the alley.Deminoreply@blogger.com
