Thank you so much for another fantastic reaction for Lucifer!!! I really enjoyed watching this episode again with you, and I'm so happy you're continuing to love Lucifer so far. I can't wait for more! :)
I enjoy this second episode a lot. And I like that the idea for their case throughout the overall storyline, was taken from a movie with a similar storyline titled, Nightcrawler... about a reporter who creates chaos and destruction in order to be first on the scene for the big story. If you've never seen it, you should. It's really good.
But back to Lucifer... I love how Chloe and Lucifer work together to find out the truth behind who killed the son of the famous actor, and who's been killing the other innocent people beforehand. I also love how Lucifer manages to insert himself into the case when he walks upon the crime scene after he becomes interested in what made Chloe upset during the phone call she took while talking with him at his club. And I love that Chloe is first seen at LUX initially so she can begin investigating Lucifer upon being suspicious by the strange occurrences with him that she just can't explain. It's also great that he knows that she's begun investigating him too, and has right from the start.
Now... I love the beginning when Lucifer comes over to Chloe's house to speak with her, and seeing Trixie hug him while Lucifer immediately becomes uncomfortable around her, then how he throws the doll to try to get her to get away from him. I really like his and Trixie's dynamic, almost as much as I love Lucifer's partnership and dynamic with Chloe too. Trixie is adorable. :
However, outside of the case going on throughout this episode, more so... I love the storyline regarding Lucifer and his change he's struggling to understand, yet is fascinated by, and how he comes to learn from and to correct his mistakes thanks to Chloe.
Now... my favorite scene throughout this episode is the ending, when Lucifer calls on his brother, Amenadiel in order to right his wrong upon pitting the two reporters against one another in a twisted form of punishment. The humor Lucifer brings to this scene is phenomenal and simply hilarious, in spite of what he's about to do being very wrong. But most of all... I love how it's because of Chloe's words to the more innocent reporter, that makes Lucifer understand that he is in the wrong and allows him to change his mind, then even to go as far as calling on his brother for help thanks to Amenadiel's power to be able to slow down time. This is one of the many things I love about this show. That while Lucifer is selfish because of him having been forced to become a punisher and cast down into Hell by his father, and because he struggles to understand human emotions, Lucifer manages to learn from his mistakes with each case and works out his own personal dilemmas throughout every case with help from Chloe. And this adds so much more to their relationship that I love so much!
Also... you are definitely right about the actor who plays Mr. Russell, the victim's father, being Greg Vaughn who also plays Dan in Charmed. He's definitely grown older, but he's still just as handsome as he was in Charmed. If not more so. I hated Dan as a character in Charmed, but he is handsome, and I like him here in this role as the boy's father, as small of a role as it is for him. My heart really goes out to this character upon him talking about losing his son.
And lastly... Linda is unprofessional, because she is sleeping with Lucifer, who has now become one of her patients. And yet she is very insightful. She has the ability to see more into Lucifer's thoughts and feelings than anyone has ever been, and he's clearly grateful to her for it, which is why he comes to see her to talk about all that's vexing him so much about his changes. And Linda is very quirky and funny too, which I really love about her character. She's actually one of my favorite characters throughout this show outside of Lucifer and Chloe.
I hope you will continue to love this show and its characters, including Trixie, Dan, and Dr. Linda, who are all amazing in their own ways as well. So thank you very much! I will see you in your next reaction. Until then, my friend...
