My thought on Lucifer - the ultimate Good Cop/Bad Boy teamup. And not in a good way, though I'll give it a few additional episodes. I know Gaiman is fine with them taking the Lucifer concept in a completely different direction than the comic book. But at this point I'm reminded of James M. Cain's response when asked if he though Hollywood had ruined one of his novels. He replied (from memory so not exact) "It's not ruined. Its right there on the bookshelves where it has always been."
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

To be fair, I doubt Neil has much of a proprietary feeling toward Lucifer, his depiction was basically Milton's with the original idea of abdication added on. I think he's a lot more peevish if other writers deviate from his characterization of Death.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, that was kind of weird because it was like...you believe in Supergirl now that she has personally saved you despite the countless number of times she has saved people before this ???
Is that like you oppose gun control until your family gets shot, or you oppose the security cameras until you get mugged, or that kind of thing. Don't believe until it gets personal.

I can't believe they killed The Wall. BULL SHIT.

I did NOT see that coming.
I kind of LOVE that the name "Oracle" was already taken.

The real Waller would never lose to such a third-rate lame-ass villain. The real Waller would have had him curled up on the floor blubbering like a little baby-man after ten minutes had passed.

And if they killed off Waller, it probably means that they're bringing back Katana just so they can kill her off, too. Because they're both in the movie.

Oh, that would be BULLSHIT. I mean, if that's the reason.

Oh. Do you think this will lead to Lyla being in charge of ARGUS?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I jumped a foot from the couch when they killed off Waller. While the actress never quite pulled off the legendary ruthless badassery I kept hearing about re. the comic book version of Waller, this... seemed like a sadly ignoble ending to a significant character.
Oh. Do you think this will lead to Lyla being in charge of ARGUS?
All roads point to yes. If this happens, I would at least breathe a little easier because I always worry about Lyla getting killed off.
It was SO NICE to have a flashback that was relevant to the ongoing story for once. I had to groan at whassisface from the Island making an appearance at the final flashback though. I roll my eyes in advance at whatever cartwheeling they'd be doing to make the flashbacks relevant to the present plot, come season finale time.
