I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

I know I’m very late to the party, but I started watching Lucifer this week and there is a serious BBoC situation happening with the lead.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

BBoC?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Big Block of Concrete - as in, that actor would have chemistry acting opposite a. (Originally Spike, of course)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I need to finish watching Lucifer at some point, I kind of drifted off when it changed networks (that doesn't seem like the right terminology but I can't think what would be better) but I do recall that about the lead

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tom Ellis as Lucifer is super charismatic, but I got stalled out 8 episodes into S1 because the writing is really not my thing. It's sort of amazing how charismatic Ellis manages to make Lucifer when he's written so terribly. Does the writing get any better in later seasons?

I did love seeing Kevin Alejandro again after seeing him on Arrow. And D.B. Woodside just gets more and more good-looking.

I know Tom Welling shows up at some point too.

I think the writing got better but I might have just gotten used to it? Hard to say. I feel like they figured out what they wanted the show to be, uh, not immediately, and once they did it got better.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I have failed to even notice the writing with all the drooling, but they do fix some plot holes as the show goes on, and the Tricia Helfer joins the cast and is awesome!
