Lucifer - Season 1

Everyone including the show runner is talking about his mother.

Okay, thanks for the heads-up. I tracked down a TV Line interview, where they annoyingly render it as "Mom" instead of "Mum."


I was annoyed that Dr. Linda was so confused by the idea of Lucifer and Amenadiel being brothers "somehow." Hasn't she ever heard of adoption or remarriage? It shouldn't be that inconceivable for two people of different ethnicities to be siblings. I hate it when fictional characters act as though adoptive relationships or mixed families are some kind of bizarre, alien concept, like biological children/siblings are the only kind that can possibly exist. It's not only staggeringly ignorant, given how common such things are in real life, but it's hurtful, because there are so many orphans who need a good home but don't get one because so many people in our society don't even consider adoption as a possibility. (I've always been deeply irritated by ST:TNG's "When the Bough Breaks" and its complete failure to consider that the Aldeans' infertility crisis could've been solved quite easily just by putting them in contact with a good adoption agency. It's insane that so many TV writers don't seem to even be aware that there is such a thing as adoption.)

And yes, of course, Lucifer and Amenadiel are not adoptive siblings, but my point is that any sensible person seeing two people of different races calling each other brothers would assume they were from an adoptive or mixed family rather than freaking out over it as if it were some inexplicable mystery.
 
I wonder if 'mum' is just the devil's mom (in the biological or adopted sense) or mom to all angels, creation, etc.

From the TVLine interview with the showrunner:
TVLINE | She could be a stone-cold hottie.
Anyone who gave birth to DB Woodside and Tom Ellis probably should be, so….

So evidently she's intended to be the mother of both Lucifer and Amenadiel, at least.
 
The way he said mum made me think she both of them's mother. My first thought was Lilith since she seems to be the go to for mother of evil beings in these types of stories, but I guess that wouldn't work if she was the mother of all of the angels.
I do agree that it was annoying that we didn't get a resolution on all of the stuff with Chloe, but other than that I was pretty happy with it.
Dan telling Chloe everything and turning himself in was nice turn for the character. I loved his shock when Lucifer called him by his name instead of Det. Douche.
I was pretty happy with how they tied up everything with Malcolm.
Lucifer and Amenadiel working together was fun.
 
So in the last year or so of TV, he's gained a wife and a sister, can't wait to see what the fundies say.
 
By the way, was anyone else hoping that the person who escaped from the gates of Hell would be John Constantine? Oliver on Arrow said he was in Hell the last time he was mentioned...
 
They surprised me with that cliffhanger, so thumbs up for that.

Should we hope that next season is a full season and not a half one?
 
I prefer a short season, especially, if they can get away from overdoing the procedural aspect. Going 20 or more just invites having a victim of the week to fill time.
 
Loved the part when Lucifer and Amenadiel decide to take out the bad guys in real time- just for the pleasure of it.
Interesting premise for next season- Lucifer has ended his 'vacation' and now has a task from Dad to complete- one which scares him.
