shapinglightThe so-called winter finale.
Spoilers behind cut. Not Tom Welling-friendly.
Okay, my guesses about Pierce - that he'd turn out to be immortal and affected by Chloe the same way Lucifer is, that he's really the Sinnerman, or the real Sinnerman behind the fake one, or whatever- have turned out to be right. I hadn't guessed that he'd be Cain (or Kane, as Amazon's subtitles insisted on spelling it), though. He wasn't kidding when he said the Sinnerman had killed his brother, was he?
As far as I recall it's not stated in the bible that Cain was immortal, is it, just that the mark God set on him meant no one would kill him in his (mortal) lifetime?
Whatever. It doesn't matter either way. It also doesn't really explain what Pierce wants going forward. If he really is behind Lucifer losing his devil face and being stuck with angel wings he doesn't want, does this mean he's Dad's messenger, and if so, what's the message? No idea. On the other hand, he could be acting on his own behalf, either to take revenge on Lucifer for having his mum and dad thrown out of Eden, or because he really wanted Lucifer to kill him so he can die forever. If it's that, though, why send a substitute, and why was the fake Sinnerman so keen for Lucifer to kill him.
Unless it was to damn Lucifer forever in Chloe's eyes? Which has pretty much happened anyway. In fact, I didn't think Chloe was angry enough, considering what Lucifer had done to the fake Sinnerman before she caught up with him. She'd be furious with Maze too, if she knew about her part in the whole business. Which could still come out and cause huge ructions down the road.
So, don't know what Pierce/Cain wants, beyond breaking up Chloe and Lucifer, which he seems to have managed to do. Quite intrigued to find out.
Or would be, if it weren't that the whole thing depends on Tom Welling. God, he's useless. A useless great bland lump. What should be an exciting plot, and a welcome return of the supernatural element in the show, is dragged down by every scene Welling is in. :Gloom:
Other stuff:
I enjoyed the Trixie/Dan/Charlotte stuff, but it was too divorced from the main plot. Also, I hope we get some Chloe/Maze/Trixie home scenes soon. I know Lesley-Ann Brandt had only just come back to work when eps 9 and 10 were shot so we can't expect to see her in too many scenes, and certainly not in any action ones, but I hope that will change as the season progresses.
Seems the show returns on 1st January for a few more episodes (no idea how many), though the first episode after they come back is the final standalone left over from season 2. From the preview, looks like we finally get the Lucifer/Amenadiel cage fighting scene, and the Lucifer-does-John-Travolta-in-Saturday-Night-Fever scene.
Ella was being completely OTT in this episode. Even I thought so this time. Annoyingly, it seemed completely plot-driven. Make her so annoying that Pierce/Cain will actually lose his temper with her, which will give Lucifer a clue as to his real identity. Not quite sure that works, to be honest. Cain killed Abel in a fit of jealous rage, not because Abel was irritating the crap out of him.
Also, wasn't it a bit stupid of Pierce/Cain not to check the fake Sinnerman's effects before they ended up in evidence? Or did he want Lucifer to find that photograph? Hmm.
I'd care a lot more about what his motivations were if only a better actor was playing the part. More gloom.

Date: 2017-12-19 07:54 pm (UTC)Possibly, though I persist in believing that the whole reason for Pierce getting himself shot in episode 4 (was it?) was so he would put two and two together re: Chloe being 'special.' Which he actually said at the time.
I wouldn't worry about Welling affecting the ratings in a negative way.
I'll try not to. I really hope he won't stick around another season, though (assuming there is one).
I don't personally think Ella is in any danger. The character is pretty popular with fans.
