shapinglightOkay, so I was right (kind of) but also wrong (kind of). Either way, I loved it.
Spoilers behind cut.
Not unconditionally. I mean, there was a really weird bit of acting, including some face pulling, from Lauren German in the scene where Lucifer drags her back to the desert and they find the arm sticking up out of the sand, and there were a few jerky moments here and there that I attribute to the show finding its feet again after the long hiatus. But otherwise...
Yeah, loved it.
Things I was right about: that Lucifer couldn't show his real face (now known as his Devil face) to Chloe when he tried to, which resulted in her being more pissed off with, and disappointed in, him than ever.
That Tom Welling as Marcus Pierce would be really bland and annoying. I can deal, though, as long as no one tries to write him a scene where he actually has to act.
Things I was wrong about (thankfully): that Lucifer's new wings were gone for good. The spoiler I'd read (which was only the blurb for episode 2, nothing more spoilery than that) was that he cut his wings off again in episode one, and, though I've thought from the start that the wings would be gone again by the end of the season, I'd hope they'd be around for at least a while, so I was really annoyed about it. However, as I'd previously speculated withpeasant, the wings just came back again, so I'm pleased about that.
And I'm pleased that the show seems to have taken a darker turn without losing any of its humour. The episode was great fun, as it always is (despite the procedural element).
Great scenes between Amenadiel and Ella and Amenadiel and Lucifer too. I'll have to watch those again (well, I'll have to watch the whole episode again, probably several times. Typical Lucifer not to realise that Amenadiel might have wanted to say goodbye to their mum, though I suppose he couldn't have done anything about it at the time. But at least he was sensitive enough to realise that Amenadiel would be upset to discover he had his wings back when Amenadiel's own are nowhere to be seen). Also, the whole Sinnerman thing is fascinating. Great that they have a through-story for the entire season. Roll on next week.
Favourite scene: probably Lucifer trying to get into the truck and forgetting he had to fold up his wings first.
On a trivial note, I wonder if the bank robber guy will be in every first scene of a new season of Lucifer from now on? That is, if he survives his mad dash through the desert.
