shapinglightVery tempted to use a spoilery icon (that I just made) for this post, but I'll keep it behind the cut.
Well, what do you know, another episode Tom Welling managed not to spoil. In fact, he was...okay in it.
I admit (again) that my standards are low when it comes to this show, but I absolutely adored this episode. This is mostly down to Tom Ellis, of course, who managed to be utterly hilarious and very sweet as house-proud suburban gay husband 'Luke' to Welling's grumpy 'really not liking this charade at all' 'Marc.' Ellis totally convinced me, despite the ludicrous attempts to annoy the neighbours enough into making the murderer reveal themselves. Even Welling was just grumpy enough and no more for the whole ridiculous edifice not to collapse like a house of cards.
Pierce's reasons for not wanting to talk about himself were convincing to me too, and I hope his talk with Chloe has put the final kibosh on any Pierce/Chloe/Lucifer love triangle, because Chloe's attraction to Pierce has never worked for me, and still doesn't. Though if Welling continues to not screw everything up, that may change in retrospect.
The procedural part of the episode was silly as usual, but more enjoyable than a lot of them. I also enjoyed Lucifer's interaction with the Korean drugs gang, if only because he got to use his super-strength (he's not done that for a while, I think).
As for the 'B' plot (if you can put it that way), featuring Maze, Dan and Charlotte, I enjoyed that too, even if Maze was coming on to Charlotte so hard it made me cringe a little. Maze is Maze, I guess. She still has no real boundaries.
The episode was packed full of great scenes, in fact. Maze and Lucifer having some quality time with Maze's hell-forged weapons, Lucifer doing a Doctor Linda on Pierce, complete with glasses, Lucifer trying to think of more and more outlandish ways to kill Pierce, only to have Pierce say he's already tried them. The final scene between Charlotte and Maze, which actually sent a shiver down my spine. Maze can smell Hell on Charlotte. That's why she was attracted to her. Poor Charlotte.
Lucifer is really going all out to try and bond with Pierce, isn't he - something that Pierce is resisting. I can see why Lucifer would do it, but I wish he'd ask Pierce a few questions first.
For instance, if the Sinnerman was working for Pierce all along, who really was the criminal mastermind everyone was so scared of? Was Pierce telling the truth when he said he had no idea why his adopted son/minion/whatever the guy was did what he did? I find that very hard to believe.
I suppose Lucifer is just too focused on sticking it to Dad, to ask those questions. Either that, or, having found what he considers to be a kindred spirit, he doesn't care about the answers.
We'll see, I guess. I feel like the season is really coming together now.
