Knowing which tropes you like/dislike and what you wrote you want in the tags of your last ask for this fifth season I’m SO curious to know your thoughts on the eps!! As I already said, I’d LOVE to hear your opinion on it. But anyways, I hope you like it as much as I did lol ✌🏼

OKAY SO

i just got done watching Eps 1 and 2 and here are my thoughts so far

Oh my god it’s so good

Thoughts: 

Hell.

I am absolutely enraptured with King of Hell Lucifer and exploring Mr. Said-Out-Bitch’s hell loop. You really get to see Lucifer’s grown understanding of humanity and himself. Also the demons are oddly sweet. I enjoyed the back and forth on the case between Chloe and Lucifer, it still felt like they were a team, even separated. 

(also somehow i forgot how pretty Tom is as Lucifer. I was happy to be reminded)

Michael. 

How delightfully awful he is! I do think the first ep would have had better impact if the trailer hadn’t overplayed the twist. Imagine if we HADN’T known about Michael??? Gosh. His mimicry of Lucifer’s voice was creepy af well done. Also “What do you most fear?” oh SHIT i got CHILLS. because of course it’s fear. Of course it is. the opposite of desire, the hinderance of it. How could Michael have been anything else?

(Interesting that his twin, Lucifer, who runs Hell - a realm built on fear, and yet it’s Michael who holds that power)

Obsessed with how his bad arm/shoulder alters his silhouette. Bravo to Tom on making these characters so different, love the physicality of it. I waffle on Michael right now because I can see little moments of him that I like, which then get SWIFTLY erased by the absolute sheer dickery of the man. (also fuck him for what he said to Linda). I’m pending. 

Chloe. 

Chloe playing Michael and then shooting him was sooooo satisfying 10/10. She’s a little meaner this season, but so far, I’m into it. She’s not perfect and it’s kinda nice to see her be a little vindictive. Also she looks hot as fuck and i am endlessly distracted by her soft hair and her legs and when she drives fast. I’m shallow sometimes.  

After so many episodes of Lucifer projecting onto cases, I’m enjoying Chloe falling into that. It’s delightful to watch. 

Music. 

THE MUSIC??? I’m gonna look up every track on this season because so far it’s fucking brilliant, 

Things I’m Not Sold On:

Lucifer’s off hand remark about killing Mr. SOB for 750k. Lucifer doesn’t care about money and he doesn’t kill people. Seems weird. (He’ll def displace your balls for impersonating him though. Doesn’t bode well for mikey) 

Since WHEN does Ella date dirtbags/bad boys? On screen she has one pity fling with Dan and....that’s it. Or I guess you could count the awkward shoehorned attraction to Pierce, but yeah, Not really On Board for this one.

Maze constantly switching allegiances to side with the bad guy. Literally every season she does this and YEAH she changed her mind again but idk man. feels bad. Maze deserves better than to have her growth constantly ignored / for the character to backslide over and over.

so i watched Lucifer s5 eps 3 and 4 last night and it’s funny because the prevailing feeling after these episodes is...sadness. which I know is probably the point since it’s the dip before the next rise but I’M BIG SAD YALL

¡Diablo!

So this episode was wonderfully hilarious and meta and was that Joe as the victim??? The peeks into the writing room and the inception-y quality of the episode was well done. Maze and Linda’s conversation “You’ll die in like 5 years, right?” “How old do you think I am?” “I dunno, thirty?” had me barking with laughter. Chloe’s irritation with her ‘onscreen’ counterpart and little brotp moments with Luci and Dan were so good. A lot of things to praise for in this ep. 

Despite all the hilarious moments, and by god were there many, I keep circling back to the conversation Chloe and Lucifer have about her being a miracle. How Lucifer says “Yes.” when she asks if she was made for him, when, in reality, he doesn’t know. “I don’t know.” would have been the honest answer. He only knows, factually, that God DID bless the Decker’s so Chloe could exist. He doesn’t know why. It hurts to watch Lucifer trying so, so hard and end up saying the wrong things at the wrong time. (that’s definitely in character though).

Lucifer (possibly) being right about being constantly manipulated — Just not by Dad, but rather by Michael — right as he had moved on from that constant conviction makes me sad. Lucifer carving a scar through his brother’s face (nice comics reference) was surprising, but Lucifer has been in Hell for a long time. This season has people a little leaner, a little meaner and it’s fascinating watching it come out to play. The fight scene Lucifer vs Michael was hilarious and entertaining and it can’t be easy when Tom is technically playing both sides. (RIP piano again) 

Maze breaking down over Eve leaving her was also heart wrenching, although it does twinge as a bit off to me. Idk maybe it’s a ‘first love’ thing that I don’t understand, but for Maze to fall apart with the specification of Eve (rather than, just constantly being abandoned in general, which definitely has validity) doesn’t feel as earned as I wanted it to be. That said, Leslie fucking kills it and I want to wrap Maze up in a blanket burrito.

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode, even if it does set up some future problems. (also like fuck michael).
