iaria+ Lucifer/Cain are pretty delightful. I just really wish it didn’t hit my embarrassment squick so much because on the one hand they amused me so much but on the other they keep doing it in front of other people and making me want to hide my head. It’s a very confused feeling. I loved their bickering, their make-up moment was genuinely sweet (Cain made an effort! Lucifer opened up!) and their final scene was great. I love how them being ‘married’ keeps being brought up in little jokes and hope it becomes a running gag. Love them, shipping them.
+ I loved Lucifer going in for the kiss and Chloe rushing to the window to see for herself. I would have preferred though that, in that shot through the window, Cain actually had his arms around Lucifer or his hands on his hips or something instead of weirdly flailing. It felt like the PTB trying to make the kiss less gay which might be a bit uncharitable but it annoys me. I really want the show to be more serious about Lucifer’s bisexualness instead of throwing out little background nuggets here and there.
I think that issue has really come to fore with me this episode and how I left it wishing the show would go a Lucifer/Cain route instead of Cain/Chloe one but know they never would regardless of how much better it would work. I doubt that in thousands of years Cain has never been with men and for the first time in millennia he has another immortal being who might kind of get him and wants to help him. I mean he even agrees to let Lucifer chainsaw him in half even though it won’t do anything but hurt. With all of that why would he choose to go with the normal mortal human? Perhaps if I believed the connection between Chloe/Cain it would work for me but sadly I just don’t and I didn’t feel that ‘moment’ between. Plus if they developed Lucifer/Cain it makes Lucifer’s promise to help Cain find death all the more difficult for both of them. It makes so much more sense to me! Which in turn makes it honestly aggravating knowing the show isn’t going to go there because they’re both men.
+ I loved Maze being attracted to Charlotte because of the delicious aroma of pain and torment surrounding her.
+ Lucifer’s un-repent drug use and love amused me.
+ Lucifer’s hallway fight was so much fun (setting it to Lucifer by SHINee, ha!) I also loved drug lord Brandon happily telling all for the drug recipe (and how self-serving on multiple levels that ended up being for Lucifer.)
