lunabee341. gloss linked me to this essay about the Southern Reach Trilogy and this conversation between its author and Jeff Vandermeer, and I just now got around to reading them. They are both uniformly excellent, and I would recommend anyone who loved the trilogy read them.
2. We are almost done with Lucifer.
Episode 6
I love Lucifer and Dan being jealous of the DJ and sharing that.
I think Jed giving terrible advice about his relationship with Chloe is really funny.
I love the meta nod to what often happens in shows where couples poise on the edge of getting together in Jed's remark about unresolved sexual tension.
Maze dressing/acting like Ella is hysterical. That actor is so damn good. I also really like Maze telling Ella that she deserves more than just a jerk.
I love the ludicrous way all four women dress up in rave clothes and go on a sting. Linda's pigtails are boss.
Charlie digging the devil face may be my favorite part of this whole show. And Lucifer being willing to play devil face with his nephew for, presumably, hours definitely shows how much he's grown over the course of the show.
I am very upset by where I think this is going with Dan. He just got his Dan-ness back. He's happy again and getting along with everyone. I don't want Dan to be the bad guy. :(
Episode 7
The mojo thing is funny, but ultimately unimportant I think. It'll boil down to Lucifer just wanting to tell her truth rather than being compelled to, I suspect. Love Linda testing whether she has the mojo.
Love that Ella gives a shoutout to Deckerstar.
Maze's sharp and dull rocks! *dies* Poor bb!Maze.
Okay, I am still upset with where this is going with Dan, but I am less upset now that they gave some complexity to it. He is worried that he can't be redeemed, that he's going to hell; every now and again, the show reminds us that Dan started out as a dirty cop, that he did terrible things, and I like that. I think his emotional struggle here is well done, and it breaks my heart. I just hope Chloe and Lucifer forgive him when they realize Michael is manipulating him.
Maze breaks my heart, too. She wants a soul, and I don't know if she needs one or not, but I hope she finds someone to love her.
I am suspicious of reporter dude. Chloe indicated that the serial killer mystery is not yet solved, so I think the dude they caught was a puppet for someone else, and my spidey senses tell me it's Ella's new boyfriend.
One more episode to go! Is that the end of the show, or is more expected?
