Lucifer technically didn’t lie. He had attacked her in the past and the Blade gave her no choice but to use it. He omitted some facts but he didn’t outright lie and I think that is his real rule: No outright lies. And given his reputation, I don’t think any of Lucifer’s siblings would come if he called.
After a quick Google search on US death rate as my baseline... rough estimation 200,000 people die a day. 139 every minute. I would say that's busy. I would assume the global death rate is higher than the US, so maybe double that? 🤷
Fun Fact: The scene with Ella on her knees "explaining the case" was all Lauren German's idea ( Chloe). They read the script and Lauren pulled them over& thought it would be funny to add all the physical..erm movements. 😁

When the show came to Netflix, that line became an Easter Egg in the last 2 seasons. In one of the Hell rooms you Trump’s face for a second. In the last episode in Lucifer’s therapy room there is a list of people not to allow in “therapy.” If you pause the scene and focus/zoom onto the list there are 5 names you can make out before the rest is covered by the furniture. (1) Hitler (2) Stalin (3) Mussolini (4) Trump (5) Roger Ailes Basically the list of people Lucifer will not help get to heaven.
15:24 "... this is terrible." More so than you know as you seem to have forgotten that blade does not just KILL but erases your very soul. This is a LOT of people that will NOT go to Heaven or Hell.
20:14 We all learned the term "pocket square" watching this show. 22:40 Anna: "What was the brand?' We learn Dan's favored pudding brand in 3x05. (What am I doing with my life????)
At 21:20: No, Lucifer didn't lie. The guy *did* attack her first, when he raped her. She *didn't* have a choice but to wield the blade, because its celestial nature lured her to it. And justice *was* served for what he did. He wouldn't call Azrael because he doesn't think anyone would come if he did. Remember, he's literally the ultimate outcast of the family. The only reason he has any relationship with Amenadiel is because Amenadiel came to oppose him. Uriel came to oppose him. The whole family basically hates him, as far as he knows. So it'd be like calling a sister who's wanted nothing to do with you for decades... or in this case, 14 billion years 😂
@@BigJohnLXV Not yet they don't. They repair their relationship later, in the episode where we first meet her; Lucifer, at first, doesn't even understand why she's around LA at that point.
The reason why Lucifer didn't call Azrael is different than what you claim, (spoiler alert) in reality, Lucifer and his sister Azrael are very close, in fact Lucifer is Azrael's favorite older brother, but Lucifer is somewhat disappointed with her for not having visited him in hell. The reason she didn't visit him is because the family was very damaged after the rebellion, Lucifer was demonized and banished to hell and added to that was the fact that she is possibly the busiest angel of all. Since she is the angel of death, her main role is to take the souls of the deceased to heaven or hell, and I remind you that hundreds of thousands of people die all over the planet and day by day. The reason why Uriel managed to steal Azrael's sword is because she was too busy to make sure no one stole it, and it's not like she could imagine that any of her brothers would be interested in stealing anything from her. She is naive because of her youth compared to the rest of her siblings and normally she doesn't carry that sword wherever she goes.
His home is earth ❤😢 he is on earth for just 7 years or so and he already feels more at home than milliennias in heaven with his family before he was outcasted. Humans give him more than the immortals ❤❤❤ that is so sweet and sad at the same time 😊
Girl it doesn’t matter how you put it 😩😩 Seeing the devil is absolutely real walking on earth and you been shaking up with him will shock any person to the core. Maybe not witches but humans will be shocked 😂😂😂 anyway Lucifer pretending like he was gonna push Ella in the grave was hilarious 😂I laughed unnecessarily hard
I would think witches more than anyone. The reality of the devil and god would shake a wiccan to the core, the wiccan religion is not Christian. It would be just as world bending and changing as if a Christian were to meet Odin and Thor ie undeniable proof that there entire belief system was wrong...proof not a test of faith but actually irrefutable proof. It is going to destroy you unless the proof happened to prove your own beliefs than I think it would make things easier.
The little mannerisms Tom brings tot he role, like the little smile you mentioned, are what really makes the character stand out, to me. It's what makes him human. It's also a bug part of what kept me coming back to this show for more.
My favorite part, and there are many to choose from in this episode, is when Lucifer and Linda are back for that first session after the "reveal". Every time we cut to Linda while Lucifer is explaining the sandwich thing with Chloe, her head is in three different "puzzled/wary" positions, while still staring directly at Lucifer each time... before she finally breaks with "...how about Hitler?". I know you had to edit much of that part out for YT, but I still love that whole sequence.
BTW, I'm loving the quicker pace you're doing these. When they're too spread out, it's hard to keep track of where you are and what you know and don't know. I sometimes watch multiple reactors in the same series at the same time.
The real reason they didn't have Lucifer call Azrael is because they hadn't really fleshed out the whole heaven/hell thing just yet, in the writers room. An explanation will be forthcoming.... later.
You know, I thought you picked your intro music because it fit so well with the show, but I just watched your Constantine reaction from last year and realized you've had it for a long time. 😅 Coincidentally enough, I don't know if someone's told you, but Lucifer and Constantine come from the same source material, although Constantine greatly departed from the source. Not sure how accurate this show was, for that matter.
Now when a human uses Azrael's blade; is the victim's soul annihilated? If so that would make this episode more _gruesome_ than just 6 or 7 people being murdered.
Anna: So, is Lucifer lying? Lucifer: Loopholes are my jam. 😆🤣😈 I love the Linda and Lucifer sessions in this episode, because who among us wouldn't have a TON of questions like Linda does, after finding out the heaven, hell, angels and the devil is real? I like that the writers didn't have her make up with Maze and then jump right back into therapy with Lucifer as if nothing happened. It makes so much more sense for her to be a bit obsessed with it all and have questions and hound Lucifer for a while before finally being able to pull herself together and get back to counseling him. Dr. Linda is one of my favorite characters. ❤
Great Post, Anna. The part with Ella explaining the crime scene withy LUCIFER was hilarious. And I am laughing my ass off with you saying Give t6hye knife to your sister or Call your sister. Remember, Lucifer cut huis wings off and Amenadiel's have wasted away, he has no wings. And Amenadiel is the only other Supernatural to hear/sense when Lucifer was calling. I don't think communicating with each other is a possibility. But I could be wrong. But that is a good thing. If we knew all of the answers to our questions, then the show wouldn't be that good now, would it? Onto E9. 👍
Lucifer: Have mercy, Daniel! How was I supposed to know the pudding was yours? Dan: IT WAS LABELED!!!! Cracks me up every time. 😆🤣 I do like how Dan comes to the realization that Lucifer is not responsible for the ruin of his marriage with Chloe, though. Dan made choices all on his own, well before Lucifer came into the scene. Let's not forget the year of letting Chloe take on the brunt of the precinct's ire when he was the one who shot Malcolm and could have backed her up and revealed Malcolm as a dirty cop. Anyway, good scene between Lucifer and Dan. 🙂
That's fair. That's very fair. At this point in my life, I think my only reaction would be "Well shit. Guess it's never too late to start believing/again." Par for the course lol I've said it once, I'll say it a million times. Lucifer is an amazing show. Top 3. I love seeing the aspect of the devil I want to believe in lol
Mom, or the Goddess has revealed her plan in general terms. How she attempts to make it happen - well that is the key/twist/question. She seems to have Amenadiel on her side at this point.
I like your predictions. Ella confronts Lucifer in his appartement. When they hug, you say 'Chloe will walk in'. And then the next second, 'bing' the elevator door opens and Chloe enters the room. Your thoughts on the initial scenes are also very well done. 'Who did know that the blade was burried at that location ?' I also ensure you that most of your questions will be answered. Maybe not with the next episode, but at least within the complete show.
I think if someone I thought I knew had always claimed to be Lucifer, or Batman, or a dragon polymorphed into human form, as ludicrous as it sounds . . . I would have considered it. I would have thought "WHAT IF he's not as crazy as he seems? And what would I do about it? How would I react to it?" So having considered the possibility, I don't think I would be completely shocked.
Justice was kinda done. Mr Glory's murder will not be prosecuted. Firstly she has the self defense claim, also LAPD 'lost' the murder weapon. Without that vital evidence the case will fall apart. Dont worry about mom's plotting, this show quickly reveals its mysteries and plots... You'll know soon.
0:55 Indeed. I wasn't impressed with the UAP reports. Nothing impresses me much. I was surprised that NASA was looking for microbes at the Martian equator, instead of our own skies. I did find it funny that NASA was looking for evidence of water at the equator of Mars, and not at the poles, that have ice caps. Mars has Ice caps with ice and water. Why would anyone go looking for where it isn't, at the equator? LoL
I feel like Charlotte, while obviously manipulative, is still upfront about what she wants. She wants her family. But not her husband. I think she wants to reconnect with her children. But still has that animosity with her ex.
I don't know why you think the Angel of Death would be a good person to give the blade to. I'm deliberately ignoring things we learn later, and just working from the knowledge you have so far. What we know is that Uriel showed up with the blade and a plan to wipe Mom from existence. We don't know what Azrael thought about that, or if she was in on it. We do know that she _didn't_ keep the blade out of the hands of a murderous angel! Even if she's not on team Kill Mom, she's not proven to be a very reliable custodian!
Hey Anna . Another great reaction. You said it perfectly ... I'd love for your Lucifer reaction to go a little bit faster lmao. Jk. See you next episode
Linda: Oh my god... I had sex with the devil. Lucifer: Many, many times. And you're welcome. 🤣🤣🤣 I feel like I've been waiting for her to come to this knowledge the whole series. Heeeeeee. And the moment was so worth it.
Lucifer technically didn’t lie. He had attacked her in the past and the Blade gave her no choice but to use it. He omitted some facts but he didn’t outright lie and I think that is his real rule: No outright lies. And given his reputation, I don’t think any of Lucifer’s siblings would come if he called.
Fudging time line
True. Each sentence by itself is not a lie. If someone infers a different meaning in their combination, that's on them.
There are 7 billionish humans on the planet, and a fair fraction are dying at any one time. Our girl Azrael is *busy.*
we are at 8 billion already 😅
@@Yuki9933 Super busy!

Around two every second, to be more accurate (and not counting other species of course, just humans)
I bet Lucifer pretending to push Ella into the grave was a Tom Ellis ad lib . . .
Fun Fact: The scene with Ella on her knees "explaining the case" was all Lauren German's idea ( Chloe).
They read the script and Lauren pulled them over& thought it would be funny to add all the physical..erm movements. 😁
Of course it was HER idea. 😁 It always gets me how Lucy puts his hand on Ella's head like instinct hah.

That Trump comment at 24:08 was one of Tom's ad libs which he was sure Fox would cut out. He surprised and delighted when they didn't.
The vast majority of Hollywood hates Trump so it doesn't surprise me.
The episode premiered November 14 2016, 6 days after the election.

I'm not seeing much of a downside for the people going to Hell.
@@Shoomer1988 True... if your choice is eternal damnation or nonexistence.
It's not just his revelation that shook Linda to the core. His Devil face has the potential to drive people insane.
