Lucifer 1x13 Extended Reaction

First and foremost... thank you so very much for your reaction for season one's finale of Lucifer, and for all of your reactions for the rest of this incredible season as well!!! As you know... I love this show very much, and I love, love, love Tom Ellis as Lucifer! Tom Ellis is a phenomenal actor and one of my all time favorite actors. I absolutely love how he plays Lucifer, and how the show's creators and writers have written Lucifer's character within this show. Lucifer is a complex character who is so different from any other version we've ever seen of Lucifer from any shows, or from the movies as well. And I am absolutely thrilled. I couldn't be happier with Lucifer as a character in this phenomenal show. And he's absolutely hilarious. It's absolutely fantastic to be able to watch and enjoy a version of the Devil that isn't evil like everyone believes the Devil to be, including his own family. And I love that Lucifer is someone whom you actually want to root for. So sensational! :) And I definitely cannot wait for you to get into season two!!! I'm so excited for you to continue on with all of Lucifer! Take Me Back to Hell- Thank you once more for watching and posting this reaction for season one's finale!!!! I really had a lot of fun watching this amazing episode with you, and I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much too. :) Now... I really love the opening scene when Lucifer goads Chloe and the other cops now surrounding him to shoot him, as Lucifer has given up and wants to return to Hell believing that the one person he cares about most no longer trust in him. It's very sad, but from the look on his face in this moment and come the end of the last episode, we know just how hurt and broken Lucifer really is upon being blamed for all the evil throughout the world. He just wants the pain and the blame to end once and for all, or at least wishes to go back to Hell since he now believes he has nothing left to live for. It breaks him because Lucifer fears that no one will ever come to see him as anything other than the Devil. Chloe of course pleads with him to stop, but just as the rookie cop shoots, Lucifer suddenly vanishes from before them, only for it to be revealed moments later that Amenadiel returns to save his brother, having slowed down time long enough to sweep him away. While it might seem annoying for you and for others who watch this show for everyone to continue to dismiss or simply shrug off just how it is Lucifer is able to vanish like this, it does help add to the mysteriousness surrounding him, especially in Chloe's eyes too, beyond just in the audience's eyes. At least there's a look of confusion in both Chloe's eyes and in Dan's too when he disappears from before them both at different points in this episode. It's really hilarious to me just how much everyone shakes off in order to dismiss Lucifer's claims of being the Devil in order to keep themselves sane. However, I feel that both Chloe and Dan continuously shake off the weirdness surrounding Lucifer simply because they can't accept the truth. Their minds just struggle so deeply with trying to accept that the Devil, demons, and angels are all real, especially for someone like Chloe, who is practically an Atheist and has been her whole life. I actually really love everyone's continuous disbelief in spite of them seeing things with their own eyes that can't possibly be explained except that Lucifer has been speaking the truth this whole time. I love it, just because it only continues to add to and helps to build up the humor of this show and in Lucifer's character. It's brilliant really. We are always rationalizing away the things we can't truly understand and accept with our own eyes. So everyone's constant dismissal of the truth behind who Lucifer really is makes complete sense to me. Now... I absolutely love that Lucifer and Amenadiel finally come together so they can send Malcolm back to Hell. And I love seeing them fight the thugs together after they speak with Dan at the precinct to find out where Malcolm might have gone to. It's another amazing fight scene, this time with the two brothers fighting side by side and not against one another. I'm also really grateful that Amenadiel finally accepts he's to blame for all the evils Malcolm has committed since he brought him back from Hell to try to kill Lucifer. It was wrong of Amenadiel to blame Lucifer for Malcolm's actions and especially for his own wrong actions. So, thankfully he has finally put the blame on whom it really belongs. Next... I really love Lucifer's and Amenadiel's therapy session with Linda too. So funny. I just really love how Lucifer still comes to Linda for help and how she always helps him, even though Lucifer doesn't usually understand what she's trying to say until much later on, and that he always comes to his own bizarre and crazy conclusions that will always lead him to understand her advice later on. And him doing so annoys Linda so much, which is also really funny. I really love the brotherly squabbles between Lucifer and Amenadiel during their talk with the doctor, while she's frustratingly trying to get them to listen. I love their brotherly dynamic and the actors' chemistry with one another. Also... it's great that Linda now knows Amenadiel isn't really a doctor like he claimed. I'm glad she knows the truth about him and Lucifer "somehow" being brothers, and that Amenadiel is no longer manipulating her. :) And I absolutely love, love, love seeing the fear and tears in Lucifer's eyes upon seeing his brother dying from being stabbed by one of Maze's demon blades too. It shows that Lucifer really does love and care about his brother in spite of their rivalry we've seen all season long. Their rivalry that has been between them for several millennia, since they were first created and then since Lucifer was cast out of Heaven on account of his rebellion. And it also puts into perspective just how painful it must be for Lucifer to be seen as the Devil and as evil especially by his brother and the rest of his family, because he does love them while they don't appear to feel the same about him. We've seen how much it hurts him to have been cast out of Heaven and how angry and hurt he is by his father's lack of faith in him. I just love it!! :) As for Dan... as sad as it is, I am really glad that Dan turns himself in for Chloe and for Lucifer too, in order to prove Lucifer's innocence like Chloe asked him to do. While I've liked Dan throughout most of this season for various reasons, he's really stepped up quite a lot in this episode and because he does the right thing, I have gained a deeper respect for him too. And I love how Dan's actions allow for Lucifer to see him differently and with respect, as he's no longer Detective Douche. At least not for now. :) I like Dan a lot too. He's a good man, who has made some big mistakes, but he longs for redemption, which is really good. If he didn't try to make up for his mistakes or care about his actions, I would hate him as a character. So I really appreciate that Dan's character is written this way. Oh... also, Tom Ellis is fantastic at speaking in other accents, and hearing him talk with an American accent in his scene with Chloe when he pretends to be a cop to warn her not to leave with the money... hilarious! It's incredible how he is able to switch in and out of accents so effortlessly too. I love it!! Now... I can imagine that the pain Lucifer suffers from upon getting shot in this finale must be some of the worst pain he has ever felt so long as he's been on Earth. However, from his words he speaks to Chloe in the ending of the previous episode just before the reveal that the false preacher has been killed, I suspect that the worst pain he has ever felt in his very long life came from when Lucifer had been cast out of Heaven and into Hell. I can't even imagine how much pain he must have suffered, and you can see in his eyes as he's talking about it, that he suffered not only physical pain, but also deep emotional pain as well. So heartbreaking. Also... I love Trixie too. She's absolutely adorable, just as she has been since the very beginning. I love her relationship with her parents, especially with Chloe, and I especially love her relationship with Lucifer now too! :) As for my favorite scenes throughout this episode... they are all throughout the ending, when Lucifer arrives at the airplane hanger to confront Malcolm so he can protect Chloe and Trixie. I love how Lucifer uses his mojo on Malcolm to draw out his desire, thinking that the thug's greatest desire was to live at all costs, only for Malcolm to suddenly shoot Lucifer when it turns out Malcolm's greatest desire is actually for Lucifer to feel the same kind of pain he felt when he was shot and then sent to Hell by Dan at Palmetto. All because Lucifer rejected him and refused to be his friend like he expected the Devil to do. I absolutely love the moment Lucifer prays to his father as he begs God to save Chloe, in exchange for him doing whatever it is his father wants from him, even if it means he must return to Hell like God has wanted from him all along. Lucifer selflessly sacrifices his life and was willing to die to protect Chloe. His feelings for her are so beautiful, even though he still doesn't understand them. And while Lucifer can be selfish in many ways because he struggles so much with understanding human emotions, especially when it comes to him trying to understand his own, Lucifer really is selfless when it matters most. And then we actually get to see Lucifer in Hell when he dies, which is sad that he gives his life for Chloe, yet beautiful at the same time because it shows just how much he truly cares about her. His final thoughts are of her as he pleads to his father to protect her, without any disregard for his own life. This isn't the first time we've seen or heard of Lucifer acting selflessly or doing something truly selfless, but this is the first time we've see him make the ultimate sacrifice for the one person whom he cares about far more than he cares for himself. And it is really beautiful. Fabulous! :) Now... I absolutely love the design of Hell as Lucifer is seen walking through the pathways made of dark stone. Everything is made of stone aside from the chains seen on one of the doors that has been opened, and we see ash falling down from the skies all around him. This world is dark and eerie, and it is a new way of seeing Hell, as it differs from the typical fire and brimstone we're used to seeing in other TV shows and movies. I love it!! Thankfully... God answers Lucifer's prayer upon Lucifer seeing what God has supposedly tasked him to do, and Lucifer is suddenly resurrected through the one time use of his Pentecostal coin that Lucifer figures out God had pulled off of Malcolm, then restores back to His son so Lucifer can return to Earth alive and save Chloe's life, which is God's side of the deal Lucifer made with Him. Although... I have a pretty good feeling that God really granted Lucifer his life back so he could save Chloe, because Lucifer did selflessly sacrifice his own life for her. Not just because Lucifer offers his father an open ended deal. Absolutely brilliant! And then... I love the moment Lucifer swiftly punches Malcolm in the face when he goes to save Chloe, then seeing Chloe shoot Malcolm three to four times in the chest in order to protect Lucifer too, after she had seen Malcolm shoot him earlier. I love the moment Malcolm looks for the coin, only for Lucifer to pull it out himself as he flips it while it dissolves upon him stating that the one time use was for him. Lucifer, Chloe, and Trixie are safe again, and Malcolm is back to rotting in Hell where he belongs. I absolutely love these scenes so much! A number of people who watch this show always hope to see Lucifer kill Malcolm himself, and a part of me initially did as well, because it would have been an amazing moment to see Lucifer act as the Devil he's known as, and for Chloe to see him as such once and for all, if only to just for her to understand the real truth about Lucifer once and for all after all he's done to try to convince her that he really is the Devil. However, it's been established in a past episode... St. Lucifer, that angels are not allowed to kill humans, and while Lucifer clearly doesn't have any problems with breaking the rules set for them all to follow... I believe that killing humans is the line even Lucifer doesn't want to cross. Because doing so would only help prove to the world that he really is the monster and evil that the world all see him as. Which is everything he's fighting to change in humans... their view on the Devil and for them to see him as something completely different from how the world and his own family believes of him to be. Lucifer is afraid to become that monster. He doesn't like being blamed for humanity's evil. And he is a good man, who longs for the world to see him as such too. Plus... Trixie is there still too, and while Lucifer may never admit it, he doesn't want her to fear him anymore than he wants Chloe to fear him either. Lucifer could easily show Chloe his Devil face, but I feel that he doesn't want her to fear him because he cares about her far too much. And Lucifer isn't evil like most people believe about him. Which makes Chloe all that much more special throughout this show, because she is the one person and human who truly believes Lucifer to be a good man in spite of all of his "Luciferness", even more so than he truly believes about himself. Besides... I really love that Chloe shoots Malcolm to protect Lucifer, after he comes to the hanger in order to protect her and her daughter... even getting himself shot in the process. Chloe cares about him very deeply too, which I feel is one of the biggest reasons why she struggles so much with believing him about really being the Devil in spite of all the bizarre and unexplainable things about him she's witnessed. I don't think it's as much that she is afraid to accept any kind of belief in the Devil, which of course she would be, but I feel it's more that she is truly afraid that if Lucifer is really the Devil like he claims, then he just might be as evil as the world believes him to be and she would eventually come to realize she might have to stop him or kill him one day, or simply lose him as her friend and partner. And she doesn't want to lose him. And lastly... I love the final scene when Lucifer returns to his home to find Amenadiel sleeping on his couch while he's resting up after being healed by Maze through the divinity from Lucifer's wings feather. I love the final big reveal, as Lucifer shares with his brother that he had spoken to their father and made a deal with him to save Chloe, which sets up for season two now that Lucifer must hunt down the escapee from Hell... their Mum. And yes... Lucifer is definitely afraid of her. Just you wait! Overall... this episode is phenomenal and it's another of my favorite episodes from season one. And now... I can't wait for you to get into season two!!! There's so much excitement and goodness to come! As for my absolute favorite episodes within season one... I love Manly Whatnots, Favorite Son, A Priest Walks Into a Bar, St. Lucifer, #TeamLucifer, and Take Me Back to Hell. I would love to know what each of your favorite episodes from this season are too now that you've finished watching season one. Please let me know! Thank you so much once again for your reactions for this incredible finale, and for all of your previous reactions for Lucifer so far too!! I've really loved watching all of your reactions for this season... for a show that has very quickly risen up to become one of my all time favorite shows. Tom Ellis is absolutely phenomenal as Lucifer Morningstar. And I really love Chloe and all the rest of the main cast too, as well as Malcolm as this season's villain. Phenomenal! Again... I can't wait for you to begin watching season two!!! Until then, my friends... :) Sincerely, Heidi
