shapinglightStill no news on renewal or cancellation. I'm feeling quite disheartened about it. Not least because...
Spoilers behind cut
...this was a bloody excellent episode. And that's despite the fact it was all about Chloe choosing Pierce over Lucifer (which is sort of explicable in a Watsonian sense but doesn't work for me on the Doylist level at all). But even so it had (almost) everything I could have wanted in a Lucifer episode. Great dialogue, great acting, interactions between the cast that were involving and referred back to things in the past - in particular Lucifer making choices for Chloe, and the Sinnerman story-and something important for everyone to do (except maybe Ella and Dan who just got to be pro-and anti-Pierce cheerleaders).
My favourite bits were the Amenadiel/Charlotte interactions, the Lucifer/Chloe scenes, and in particular the final Lucifer/Linda scene. Wonderful stuff, I thought.
Seems,lyr was right about what broke Pierce's curse - Chloe falling in love with him. I'm not sure it entirely works for me, though, because it would suggest that Chloe was in love with Lucifer as early as season 1 episode...four, was it? Where she shot him and he bled? Maybe it'll still turn out to be more the other way around - that the person (Lucifer or Pierce) has to be in love with Chloe to be vulnerable to her. We'll see. We'll also see if Maze can still carry out her fiendish plan to the bitter end, and if Lucifer will really reveal his true self to Chloe, as he fully intended to at the end of season 2.
Maybe. Unless the show is cancelled. Which it could be.
