I’m glad that Lucifer is getting a season six because if this is how the show was going to end originally, I would not be happy. It felt rather bland.
I’m intrigued to find out how they choose to bring back characters that have passed on.
Considering the build up to the plot, I really think it was only okay.
Lucifer becoming God was like the most obvious stance that the show was heading in, but the way they built up the episode in the beginning, it had one of the perfect setups to make it so that Lucifer chooses Chloe to be the God(ess) and the decision to let Lucifer back into heaven could have been Chloe's...
The plot for Charlie becoming God is put to bed, but that could have been another potentially uncommon ending.
Maze finally accepting Eve was a good change of pace from the usual 'you don't deserve me' or 'I need space/time' theme that's been going on for quite a while on the show.
I think with all the angels showing up, and so much of Ella's dilemma this season related to her faith, I think the writers missed a perfect opportunity to bring back Azreal a little earlier into the season to have conversations with Ella.
So Michael can kill humans, because God left and his restrictions are no longer applicable, but Lucifer can not go into heaven without burning? What a waste of Lilith's invulnerability. And also, Michael doesn't become God after winning the votes because it's not unanimous, but Lucifer returns from heaven as God even without the unanimous votes? That makes zero sense.
God's role was really crappy throughout the season, just lame. Michael was absolutely awesome in the first half, but he's such a disappointing character in the second half of the season.
Not a bad ending for a season that didn't entirely convince me. Not one of my favourites.
Still, I think they pulled the ending off quite well.
Whilst the early stages suffered from the same predictability the mid-season did, the final act had me all over the place. I suppose it's fitting that Lucifer S5 redeemed itself with its second half.
So, about that 'it's not cowardly to save a life thing' lasted all of five minutes, eh, Chloe? I presume she didn't shoot to kill those angels there.
"She's with my mom and Dan's parents." Dan has parents?
Are those...really all the angels? Thought there'd be a lot more.
Zaddy is such a daddy. But in other news, Lucifer definitely lied when he said God returned and made them sing. There's been quite a few lies from him this season.
Shouldn't Lucifer, the Lightbringer, be the only one who can activate the Flaming Sword?
Mr. Said Out returns! "I don't know what the fork any of that means." Is that a Good Place reference?
What even was the plan? Amenadiel kept telling Maze to hold, but if Chloe's death wasn't intended, what were they waiting for?
Now, I see why everyone was saying season 5 is the series finale...

With Angels like these, why would we even want demons?
Not sure how to rate this episode. Some good moments, but also a lot of really intense cringe.
kinda got predictable at the end, it was worth watching even after the musical episode fo sho.
Oh my me! Sums it up pretty much. So sad about Dan but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him. Can't wait to see how they will end it all. Glad we're getting some more episodes but this is a good finale too!
Why the hell words "I need your help" from Lucy to Chloe made me so happy and empowered?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! It went so not what I thought but some of it I predicted... but nonetheless Idk why my neighbors didn't call the cops hearing my screams! The fight could be longer as the build up was the entire season pretty much. The sacrifices were pretty blunt bc od the immediate UNDO button scenes. BUT the in air fight was marvelous, I completely didn't see it coming bc it's hella many cgi things and it's just a tv show. Maybe Netflix but still a tv show with many episodes.
The whole episode was great for me even though I never thought Michael had a chance. Not bc I knew Lucy had to live and all but they managed to show as that Michale isnt a fighter, hes a manipulator and the whole plan of his was really great, would be better if given more eps and slowly showing piece by piece not entire plan in one ep revealed.
All in all, could be better OFCOURSE, too much none important things thus rushing the important stuff, too much dealing with over and over the same emotional problems. It showed the budget for this was the greatest yet, they did all that they could for this one episode, all of the characters were there which I wanted to. Just still dont understand why Ella is still not knowing everything. I see it doesnt have a clifhanger as between 5A and 5B which I understand make ppl emotions not that great. It would be an amazing series finale with about couple scenes left to see where the idea is going. It really doesnt need 6th season. Bc of that it didnt leave the excitement and need to know what will happen next. I feel the next season should have a greater war even, as the build up each season should have, but Lucy doesnt have anyone to fight with.
Didn't really like this season all that much; considering how much I enjoyed Season 4, I was so looking forward to this season.
Watching this season felt like such a chore (I had to drop it a couple of times and came back now after the S6 trailer came out). The season was such a rollercoaster for me... and not in a good way: the rollercoaster symbolizes my feelings about the show while watching the season, with each other episode taking me from "I still like this" to "WTF am I watching?".
Throughout, it made me question how much we actually know the characters, I feel like they've re-written their personalities (esp. Chloe and Ella) so poorly and inconsistently, to the point that they went from my favorite characters in earlier seasons... to almost unlikeable here, which I think also says a lot considering how little growth (imo) Lucifer himself has shown (aside from his obligatory story-progressing character development). I even ended up re-watching bits of the first season after this and it feels like such a different (much better) show.
Anyway, this episode... Dan's death led to a couple of good scenes (aside maybe from the obvious culmination of the whole season): Ella telling Amenadiel in the previous episode that he turned in his police academy application, Maze reminiscing about their "good" moments was hilarious, and Ella praying for a sign and Decker appearing to ask for her help (though honestly that would have been tons more satisfying, though obvious, if it had been Lucifer who came in, what with Ella talking to the "Big Guy" and all). Aside from that? Meh. I was honestly hoping I could have written more here.
Also.. WTH was with that "demon army", and what was up with it being made up of just the random bus of criminals shown in the beginning of the episode? Did they use up the extras casting budget to rent out the LA Memorial Coliseum?
And really, none (except the one actually convinced by Luci's speech about love lmao) of the angels siding with Lucifer, choosing to side with the dude who's literally threatening them with the angel-killing sword and already killed one of their sisters, when they have an actual alternative (no matter how... odd the choice of Lucifer being God would be)? Really?
I did like the Deckerstar scene in Heaven, though, and Decker's temporary bout of super strength to kick Michael's stupid ass.
The last scene also felt like they ran out of time and couldn't come up with a better final scene. Geez.
An underwhelming finale altogether.
Ohhhhh but this was a rollercoaster! Chloe dying, Lucifer 'dying', both coming back.... I thought this episode was amazing and then I realized it was the last when Netflix didn't show that little 'next episode' in the lower corner. I really hope there will at least be one more season so Lucifer can find a way to save Dan from Hell and for Ella to learn the truth as well because it seems unfair at this point that everyone knows but her.
"This isn't you, Chloe!" says Lucifer as Chloe is about to kill Michael.
Okay, let's just ignore how she shot two angels out of the sky five minutes ago.
Quite the season for Mr. Said Out Bitch. From Hell to Heaven.
Nice to see Chloe's dad back as well, even if only for a moment or two. As well as Azrael, even though she got even less time than John.
Makes me very curious to see what next season is all about.
