Lucifer leaving hell is actually from one of The Sandman books (Niel Gaiman.) TLDR version is he realized everyone in hell was there by choice because they believed they deserved to be there. Everyone including himself, so he decides he's served his time and leaves. The long version is basically the "change" he's experiencing actually started earlier, he began to feel bad for the humans he was punishing, specifically the ones he didn't think deserved to be there. He tried closing down hell and freeing all the tortured souls but they refused to leave, instead begging to be punished. He gives the keys of hell to Morpheus (the sandman) and leaves. This causes some serious trouble for Morpheus because basically everyone wants the keys to hell, except him (which is why Lucifer gave them to him.) This includes Angels from heaven, rouge angels that want the power for themselves, demons and even Morpheus' own siblings (known as the Endless which is kind of the embodiment of the horsemen of the apocalypse, Death, Destruction, etc.) Unfortunately it's been over twenty years so I can't really remember much more of it.

I love the prequels more than I do Yellowstone, specifically 1883. The writing and the performances from Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Lamonica Garrett, and most importantly Isabel May were phenomenal. So much emotion and heart this show had.

"He's twitching!". 😂 Yep. When Flint gets twitchy face, shit's going down. RIP to Miranda, my queen.

The next one, oh my, saddle up.

Gossip doesn't need to be secret... my guess is that the column it will become more like a society magazine. And maybe people will start coming to her to write about problems that need to be discussed, addressed, exposed... or of course, gossip, like who's courting who 😋 Also.. in the present day, it takes less than one day to travel from London to the North of Scottland, even by car. But most people will usually do it by train.

Flint confessing to the relationship with Thomas wasn't about confessing to what was then a crime, it was about allowing the public to ridicule James and Thomas. Ashe wanted to drag them into the public eye to be mocked as something unnatural. In this way the fearsome image of Captain Flint would be reduced to a pitiable wretch who was unmade by society's judgement. This is a recurring theme since the first episode; society is kept in order through gossip which reinforces shame, shame is a tool of control and those without shame are a danger to the ruling hierarchy.

I stepped into an avalanche....

Fun fact: Louise Barnes and Nick Boraine (Lady Hamilton and Lord Ashe) are married in real life 😄😅 That must've been an awkward day at the office 😂 This show is so bloody great!!! I cannot WAIT for the finale! Miranda dying was one of those "I should've seen it coming, but didn't" moments, and it in no way felt gratuitous or "just" for shock value. This show really is so remarkable and consistent in the quality of the writing ❤

One of the amazing things about this show is how the writers seamlessly blended historical accuracy with the fiction of Treasure Island. Hornigold was given a pardon and turned into a pirate hunter in real life.

24:36 Welcome to South Carolina. Get ready to meet Capt. Flint.

I noticed the clock was from their house in London. Unfortunately i think the Governor of South Carolina wanted Flynt to turn himself in and get the upper hand on the man who threatened his family

One of the rare times in many years (for me) a sudden death made sense and had impact and didn't feel cheap at all. Ah Miranda. So fabulous. Go out angry. Her final speech is so important.

Brainless

GOD it's good to be back. I live in Aiken, SC, and we just got power back - Monday at 3 PM, EDT. Went 82 hours without power. Can't wait to watch me some Anna!

@08:00 IDK if the MCU will keep the origins of the Witches Road but in the comics the Road is home to the Goddess of Witchcraft. She is the manifestation of all magic that is blessed upon Witchfolk (Witches and Warlocks). I am hoping they keep her for the end of the show! Fun fact: The Witches Road exists outside of space and time so there are beings that interact with each other from different time periods on the road. In the book Wanda actually meets her biological mother on the road who died before Wanda got the chance to meet her in the real world.

Oooooo... I'm not certain it's "Internet Safe™" to use the words "Trent" and "Crimm" without immediately following them with, "The Independent"...

Theyre in the story to show how tlviolent the labd was. We didnt need to see their specifics, between the animals, the bandits, and more... the cattled herders were paid hands thats it. Sometimes we dont need the why's to the story we just need to know why the duttons sattled there and it was elsa and they told that story

You're a secret lemonade drinker?

Rebecca and Keeley's friendship is one of my favorite things on the show.

A show that deserved so much more than it got. Sci Fi Channel would have been better for the original run than Fox 🤦‍♂️

Jaime Tart is one of the best characters in TV history. No exaggeration. Simply because everyone, including me, thought exactly like you at this point in the show.

Rupert is malicious. Previous rudeness to Ted has been not exactly personal, but just people being upset that something they care about being mishandled. Rupert is purposefully hurting Rebecca and mocking Ted. Definite different vibe. Keely helps the players handle sponsorship deals and promotions. She works with the club, so she is around not just as Jamie's girlfriend.

When you see Rupert, and you don't say "that's Giles", it can only mean one thing: you have to react to Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the show, never the movie)

I really wish people would stop saying things like "you're gonna love so and so", etc. It's spoilery and people love to do it with this show especially. For all the reactor knows, a character stays the same throughout the entire show.

I wish people wouldn't spoil you like that!! Its the brilliance of the show how it approaches relationships of all kinds and no need to hint at the future other than you will love it!

I laughed at Ted's quirky one-liners, & wisdom! But Rebecca's vulnerability confronting Rupert hit hard, and Keeley’s support for her was heartwarming. The Roy and Jamie tension added a mix of humour and frustration that kept me engaged! Ps hope in comments no spoilers about the future

If you hate Rupert now, just wait 😂

I love how much this episode developed Keeley and Rebecca’s blossoming friendship! Both their conversation in the bathroom and their bonding with champagne are just so wonderful to watch.

Quick notes: The actress who plays Bex is Keely Hazell and Juno Temple's character is modeled on her. The real Keely actually joins the writing team for season 3. So, we have now met our latest villain, Rupert. And he is the one who comes across as not redeemable. He seems to have a gift for making extremely condescending remarks that sound like compliments.

Hiya. Don't forget, it's a Comedy-Drama. Stay safe. All the best to you.

Your comments here Anna, were great, even if you were tired. I won't give you any spoliers of any kind... just an assessment about 'what' TL actually is. IMHO, 'Ted Lasso' is the greatest 'comedic' television series of all-time.... BECAUSE of the true, honest, and heartfelt character growth and character relationship dynamics (drama) which have no equal. And you my dear, are going to be a great reactor for this extraordinary series!

FYI: The person who was the busker in this episode is an actual, fairly well-known London busker. And the actress that plays Higgins' wife, is his actual wife in real life.

My favourite episode so far. Rupert is the most villainous character in Ted Lasso. Ted figures him out pretty darn quickly!

Roy Kent is the absolute best ❤

Glad to see you hate Rupert as much as pretty much everyone who watches the series does!

Those last four lines. ‘I know death now, I’ve seen it. It smiled at me, and it was beautiful.’ Gives me goosebumps every time Such an Elsa thing to say… wise beyond her years. Still alive even in death

Because that emotion for him was sorrow not hatred and it It was awesome It was awesome Confusion His devil face is self Actualizing his self-hatred

He watches people who interact with Lucifer And then gets information on everything off screen

Hawaii 50

Hell was created for all sinners to go to after death, Lucifer was the ORIGINAL sinner, he’ll was created for him to rule and rot in

TOHO, the studio that created and owns Godzilla, mandates that Godzilla can never eat people. That's why he steps on, flings peoples, and blasts them.

Lucifer did the sweetest thing ever with that prom dance 🤩

UnChloelike🤔🤔🤔 she was a child star. So no sense of high school. So reliving it through the books is like reliving it through a character and not being able to separate yourself from the character 🤔🤔 not as far of a stretch as one might think. Subconsciously she's reliving the days that she wasn't involved in the high School drama like she wished she could have been 🤷‍♀️

It might be a generation reaction, but you are one of the few female reactors I don's see going "Maze is right, your friend should never dare your ex". Thank you for taking a more rational stance.

Okay, so now I REALLY can't wait for the next episode as Season 3 is about to start turning up.

People sometimes do things that are completely out of character. Case in point, my Dad, a farmer, no nonsense, fire and brimstone Catholic. Ends up getting hooked on a soap opera. Started in the mid 90s and still watches it to this day. If you'd told me that would happen before it did, I'd think you were off your meds.

I think you must have meant something. They did eventually open the bottles and pour some into the potion

The next episode is the funniest one this season, can't wait for you to post it.

The writers of the ballad seeded clues throughout the song. 'If one be gone, we carry on, SPIRIT as our guide.' I think Sharon is meant to represent the Spirit element& will continue on the journey with the rest as a guide.

Re endless writing ideas... "For now! For now!", an episode of 'The Sandman' sees Dream curse a writer in a similar way to one who wishes for immortality and gains it :-)
