I love your insights and your thoughts on identity and vulnerability. As Linda said back in s1.04: People don't have power over us, we give it to them. When Lucifer learned that Chloe sees him for himself that made him question himself. Can he be enough for her?

2022-01-13 19:37:36 +0000 UTCYes, who is the real devil? Lucifer or Michael? Regards Lucifer's vulnerability - he said something germane just before Dan shows up: "yes it appears I have dropped my guard". His self imposed vulnerability around Chloe, almost got her killed in the showdown with Clumpski.... So what would he subconsciously do about that given his statement about dropping his guard? Finally, not to beat a dead horse, but regards your wishful thinking about the color scheme in the previous episode's "passion" scene - if you watch this episode without sound and look at the lighting choices - you find virtually EVERY scene indoors here uses red and blue lights in various combos. In fact, in making movies or shows, the lighting people, or gaffers - have a selection of filters to place over lights, which are in two camps - based on red or based on blue. Multiple shades of each are the primary filters used. Some based on yellow are for bright sunlight, but even most of those are towards the red part of the spectrum. (a common one for noon day sunlight is called "goldenrod") Every interior scene and even some exterior ones use a combo of reddish and bluish colored light. So what you perceived as some deep symbology, was in fact only routine lighting to convey some semblance of reality and make it visually interesting. Everything on the screen for movies or TV or shows - has to be done in an unusual and exaggerated way. The camera cannot function as your eye/brain does. You deliberately mix these apparently opposing light colors in a special way to convey this false reality and exaggerate it - because the camera actually dumbs it down or cannot discern the extremely fine detail your eye/brain can. And there is also an overall "style" or motif of a show, and each repeating location in a series. The stark contrast of the reds and blues is a common motif of this show.... I wish I had some photos of being on a movie set to show you, but it was really quite shocking to me when I first went onto sets - how fake and exaggerated and seemingly contradictory the lighting color and placement choices are. But then seeing the rushes or the final edited product, you understand how and why this was done.... As an example of how you must exaggerate things, doing practical special effects - we do rain. (the rain you see on almost every show or movie is not real - it can take 8 hours to shoot a complex scene, and you cannot rely on the weather to maintain rain etc for that time) If we made rain like reality, the camera cannot see it! So we must make humongous droplet size for the camera's resolution to pick it up. AND you still cannot really see it unless it is really dense or is back lit! Same principle applies to lighting in general and many other aspects. So yes every tiny detail is extremely intentional, however it is not the intention you believe for the passion scene!
