Okay, I'm confused.
Lucifer = fallen angel, which I knew, yes? But Lucifer is NOT *the* devil, as in Satan?

No, Lucifer is Satan (the Adversary.)
Or that's how I understand it - he was the leader of the rebel angels of which Azazel was one.

Lucifer's come to be associated with Satan, though it could be argued that they don't have to be the same entity.
The word "Satan" is merely a term for "adversary" or "enemy". I think the idea of Satan is one of those things that's been spun up and added to over the course of Christian history. They're linked today, but the only thing Lucifer did wrong was rebel against God. (Which is, you know, still bad.)
One could argue that Lucifer and his Fallen are those who suffer the most, as their eternal punishment is being cast out of Heaven.

Hee. I'm a dork.
I'm also really enamored by the idea that they're bringing Lucifer into all of this. (I may have, you know, already gone on at length about it, so, y'know...) I just find Lucifer appealing.
Um.

I could see Ruby maybe being Lucifer. I could see that being ... really hot, actually.
Um.
We should have an Um Corner. Like Pooh Corner, but with more shame and inappropriate sex fantasies.

I didn't read Ruby's fallen angel comment as a literal confession of being such, so much as a witticism. In fact, I don't recall any evidence that even Azazel was ever an actual fallen angel—that could easily be a myth about an absent/imaginary Lucifer that the demons developed as their religion and spread to humanity over the years.

This is what I think the show is going for. Though the idea that she could be Lucifer, grooming Sam to take over as the Antichrist is... kinda delicious. Too much for Show, maybe, but...

The Azazel in the show, or Azazel the angel/demon/whatever from mythology?
