What Would Lucifer Do?- Thank you so much for another fun episode reaction for Lucifer, Reds!!! I enjoyed watching your reaction for this episode! And I absolutely love seeing Lucifer's struggles upon feeling so lost, which I will come back to momentarily... But first... I really do enjoy this episode overall. However, I also have a few frustrations with it as well, mostly in regards to Lucifer's character throughout most of the first half of this episode. And it's nothing to do with Tom Ellis' acting. Because he is phenomenal as always. It's all to do with how Lucifer's character is written in the first half of this episode. It really bothers me that Lucifer is written to act so out of character for him. At least at this point of the show, given that Lucifer really has changed so much since season one. I mean... He cares very deeply about Chloe, and the episode from the point of him coming upon Chloe at the scene where she was nearly killed and onward really shows this about him, which is what I really love about this episode. I do understand why Lucifer is written as he is throughout most of this episode. Because people have gotten so much inside his head, and they have all made him think that him changing for the better is a bad thing for who he "supposedly" is... the Devil. So, him being "out of character" may not be the best way for me to put why I don't care all that much for the first half of this episode. It does make sense, because Lucifer does have a tendency to always rebel and go against people when they try to tell him he's going against what he feels he should be. And right now... Lucifer is absolutely lost. Lucifer is very conflicted about who he truly is and who he wants to be, in comparison to who he believes himself to be. It's just... I don't like how Lucifer suddenly acts against Chloe and the police in order to try to prove that he hasn't changed for the better in the slightest, when he really has. Going so far as to teach the kids in this reform program to sell drugs? Not good. Lucifer cares more for Chloe than he cares for everyone else. And he loves working alongside her to help get justice for those who are killed or hurt by the sins of the real criminals, and to punish those in the wrong. So, to me... For Lucifer to go against that and to encourage so many people to do all the wrong things, especially with all the drugs, it just feels wrong. Even though I kind of understand why. I guess that I just don't necessarily like seeing this side of him anymore, because I love seeing the Devil trying to change to be the good man inside of him. I hope all of this makes sense. Now, there are definitely some funny moments and dialogue, but all in all... The first half of this episode in my opinion, is definitely weaker than the second half of this episode for sure. As for what I love most about this episode, and my favorite moments... First, I absolutely love how broken Lucifer comes to feel upon learning that Chloe is almost hurt when Pierce has been shot protecting her instead. It's so sad and heartbreaking seeing Lucifer feeling so guilty because he failed to be there to protect Chloe, when he's always been there for her until this point. And while Lucifer had no idea Chloe would be put in danger, Lucifer ought to feel a little guilty for being so selfish and set on his path to rebel once again. Because if he hadn't have rebelled, he would have been there to protect her like he should have been. As much as I don't really like Lucifer going against Chloe, I do appreciate seeing him come to realize his mistakes and feel the emotions that comes as a result of his actions. Another of my favorite moments... I love the scene when Lucifer appears behind the killer to punish him for nearly killing Chloe. I love the moment Lucifer unleashes the rage within him as he talks to the killer about how he's not changed and how he almost hurt Chloe, while showing the man his anger he really feels towards himself. And we come to understand this about Lucifer in the moment that Amenadiel arrives just as Lucifer is about to strangle the killer, and reminds Lucifer of his own words from how he has always defended himself when others have continuously accused him of being all evil or a monster... That he's the Devil and he punishes evil. That he himself is not evil. And thankfully, his own words coming from Amenadiel bring Lucifer back and are encouraging to help him to stand down. Absolutely brilliant!! Also... I absolutely love, and am grateful that Amenadiel has come to truly learn and understand this about his brother too, given that throughout all of season one, and since Lucifer became a rebel in Heaven and then was cast into Hell for it, he had always seen Lucifer as all evil too. Thankfully, not anymore, and I am so happy that this is so. And it shows just how much Amenadiel has grown as a character since season one too. :) And my final, and most absolute favorite moment within this episode... I absolutely love, love, love the very ending between Lucifer and his brother back inside Lucifer's penthouse, when Amenadiel tries to share with Lucifer that he has come to understand that he is his test from God and that his test is simply to be there for his brother. I love how Amenadiel tries to remind Lucifer that he's more than he believes himself to be, until Lucifer heartbreakingly pushes Amenadiel away by being cruel to him because he doesn't want to be helped. Because deep down, he doesn't feel like he deserves to be helped. Because Lucifer once again believes he deserves to be punished, and is angry with anyone who is trying to tell him otherwise. Lucifer's words to his brother are cruel and harsh, and I'm just so grateful that Amenadiel understands that Lucifer doesn't really mean the words he's saying and that he is simply lashing out upon being unable to accept his help. Amenadiel knows that Lucifer doesn't know how to deal with his pain, and that Lucifer is lashing out at him simply to try to avoid it. And you can see the guilt in Lucifer's eyes from hurting his brother and the pain he feels from doing so, as well as for not being there to protect Chloe when she needed him. You can see it all in Lucifer's eyes in this moment. You can see that he hates himself all the more for hurting his brother and Chloe like this too. And then... The moment Lucifer is staring at himself inside the shattered glass inside the mirror behind his bar, is incredible and so, so, so sad and powerful. As it is a silent metaphor for showing us his true conflictions towards himself. Because deep down, Lucifer believes himself to be the monster the world believes the Devil to be, because he had allowed his anger, rebellious nature, and his inability to see himself as nothing other than evil overtake him, resulting in two of the few people who means more to him than anyone, nearly getting killed. Chloe and Amenadiel. Lucifer isn't fighting his change because he doesn't want to admit that he is a good man. He's fighting his change because deep down, he doesn't believe he's a good man. Right now, he is struggling so deeply with trying to understand who he really is. A part of him feels he has to be the Devil the world expects him to be, while the good man in him is fighting to change and to become the kind and good man he wants to be. And not just for himself, but especially for Chloe. It's so heartbreaking, and this one scene for me makes up for all the things I didn't care all that much for throughout the rest of the episode. Because it's just so powerful and emotional. And I love that we even see Lucifer's hand trembling when he reaches out to try to play the piano, and to pick up his drink. Phenomenal acting once again from Tom Ellis! Tom Ellis has always been incredible throughout this show, but this one scene and few others to come... especially stand out, just because of the raw anger and coldness you can see in his eyes while Lucifer is sharing his story about the tortured soul he had tortured down in Hell to Amenadiel and onward throughout the rest of the scene as well. For me... I feel like this scene is definitely one of the strongest acting moments for Tom Ellis throughout the entire show. He shows so much power and real conviction behind his words. And I love him all the more for it!! Oh... And I really love the effect of the mirror's shattered glass used to show us exactly what he sees. Now, with all of this being said... I really don't care all that much for the side story with Lucifer sleeping with the judge's wife in order to help him sleep and to get back together with his previous wife, or girlfriend either. It's a silly storyline really, but it's also a very Lucifer thing to do. So, I get this storyline too. And it does certainly have its funny moments. Next... While I am definitely intrigued by Pierce's character, I still don't care much for his attitude towards everyone. Even if he is simply trying to encourage the men and women under him to be better. I especially hate his attitude towards Dan. I like the potential for who Pierce as a character can be, but so far... I really just don't like him at all. I especially hate how he continues to treat Dan, because Dan really has grown so much from season one as well, and he's worked really hard to earn forgiveness for his past mistakes and the respect he craves from the other cops again. And Pierce refuses to even try to see any good in him. So sad. However, I do really enjoy Tom Welling, and seeing a very different side to him as an actor, outside of his role as Clark Kent/Superman in Smallville. And while I love Ella, I really don't understand why she seems to see any kind of chemistry between Pierce and Chloe, at least up until the ending scene between Chloe and Pierce. Because Pierce certainly hasn't shown any kind of indication that he likes her at all, other than that he respects her as a good detective like he tells Chloe in the end. So... I really don't care much for this storyline either. However, I do like the moment between Chloe and Ella, when Ella reminds Chloe that she's more than she's come to believe about herself as well, no thanks to Pierce's attitude towards her and upon him making her think so little of herself. Ella is a good friend to everyone she cares about. And I love this about her. Also... I really love seeing Dan and Amenadiel continue to become friends through their conversations, as they help to lift one another's spirits, and learn how to deal with Lucifer's mockings against them. These two have good chemistry. And lastly... The beginning scene between Lucifer and Amenadiel when Lucifer encourages his brother to walk a mile in his shoes by acting like Lucifer, and to think "What would Lucifer do?"... I love it!! It's so, so funny. It's good advice, but Lucifer explains it all wrong and Amenadiel is terrible at trying to be Lucifer. Hilarious!!! Overall... I love the more touching and powerful moments within this episode. But there's a lot about this episode that I feel could have been a little different to make it a bit better in some of the scenes I don't particularly care much for. Thank you once again for a great reaction, dear friend! Sincerely, Heidi
