LUCIFER 3x25 ~ ''BOO NORMAL'' ~ REACTION ~ BONUS CONTENT

[@sarah4hp]

Azriel, or RayRay, is just such a great character. It is so nice to see that Lucifer has a sister like that, who loves him, misses him, and has actually been looking out for him by sending Ella to spread joy in his life. She is one of those characters I just wanted to see more of after her just being in one episode. One more episode before you start season 4 - SO exciting!

[@chipparmley]

i was going to comment here but you said exactly what i wanted to :)

[@zimvader25]

In trip to stabby town him and amenadiel comment that she's not very friendly. They just completely ignored that and she completely ignored that they had stolen her blade. They completely changed the character for no reason. They could've just made her a different angel.

[@demonic_myst4503]

@@zimvader25 amenidiel said she not pleasent she did said she pranks him and he seems to have an issue with her so i think it more misdirection rather than changing it

[@Тестканал-н7ю]

She is a great character, indeed. But I was just expecting her to be more badass, like Billy from supernatural or even better the original Death (he had no name if I remember correctly), I think the angel of death is supposed to be wise, powerful and intimidating. Azreal is none of those things. But it's just my opinion.

[@sarah4hp]

@@Тестканал-н7ю well, you are entitled to have that opinion, I just can't agree. I thought she was great and adorable - not what I expected from the angel of death, sure, but I like that this show surprises me by not just doing the expected, but play around with the characters and make them different from what viewers would normally expect.

[@terric.876]

I absolutely adore Azriel! And the hints we’ve been getting about her. Like you mentioned in the Vegas episode Ella said counting cards helped to quiet the voices. And the in High school Poppycock Ella says that she’s been writing a book about a forensic scientist (her) who talks to a ghost. The next episode is one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy it!

[@heidimarcum5984]

I love their entire conversation about Ella and how Lucifer shares how Ella makes everyone feel better about themselves which is why he feels so drawn to her because she helps him to feel better about himself when he struggles so deeply to do so. But most of all... I absolutely love how Lucifer talks with Azrael about how he felt to be just as abandoned by her as he did by all of his siblings, in spite of him and Azrael being very close once. I love how she then apologizes to him for failing to defend him when he had been cast out of Heaven in punishment for his rebellion, and how she felt lost and sad that she could no longer talk with her favorite brother. I love learning how Lucifer used to just sit and listen to Azrael talk on and on about very mundane things and about her days, much like Lucifer often does with Ella too, such as like the very ending we see between Lucifer and Ella, which I will come back to momentarily... I just really love seeing a different kind of relationship between Lucifer and another of his siblings we haven't met before. I love learning about Azrael and how she is the Angel of Death, who struggles from day to day after only being able to talk with the humans who have died as she takes them onward to either Heaven or to Hell... wherever their souls are bound for. And I love seeing how Lucifer does just listen to her go on and on, in spite of feeling hurt by her abandonment too. It's also wonderful that Azrael reveals she had been the one to encourage Ella to move out to Los Angeles so that she and Lucifer could meet. Not so that she could use Ella to manipulate him much like Lucifer has felt towards Amenadiel and their father using Chloe to manipulate him, but only so that Azrael's two favorite people could meet and become friends. So they could both have someone to talk to. So that they could simply be together because she cares so much for them both. I can really feel how close they really are and I would absolutely love to see more between Lucifer and Azrael should she ever come back into this show again. I hope she does. And then... my final favorite moment comes in the very ending between Lucifer and Ella, when he walks into Ella's lab at the precinct and just sits down to listen to Ella talk about what she's learned from the random evidence she's been studying. I love how Ella stops herself upon realizing Lucifer might not be interested in listening to her go on and on about the forensics on this particular case, only for him to encourage her to continue talking about whatever she wishes. I absolutely love this. I love seeing more of their friendship, which again... we really don't get a whole lot of throughout the show except for when they're all working together on a particular case. But when we do have these moments, I love them all the more. They're quite beautiful to me. :) Now, in regards to the overall case throughout this episode... I enjoy the case overall, but I agree with you that the case for the most part is the least important aspect from this episode. I really don't care about it, except for the moments where we see Ella shine in trying to help the little boy who tragically witnesses his father kill the therapist, and how this cases allows for Ella to interact with Rae Rae, her ghost guardian angel. I really enjoy Ella's and Azrael's scenes together. They're funny, and Azrael is a lot of fun. I love her perkiness too! I agree with you that this actress, who I too recognize from her role in the final season of House, is not at all someone I would expect to play someone like the Angel of Death. However, I still really love her in this role nonetheless. I think my only pet peeve with Lucifer introducing Azrael, the Angel of Death at last, after she was talked about so much throughout season two thanks to Uriel stealing her celestial blade... it's that Lucifer never talks with his sister about the blade, or asks her why she never came down to Earth seeking to take it back after Uriel had stolen it from her. If I was a writer on this show... I most definitely would have written this previous storyline into this episode as well. Because it's certainly one of my questions I would have for the Angel of Death after everything that happened throughout season two with Azrael's blade. But back to the overall investigation throughout this episode... the Furry convention scenes are kind of fun, and I enjoy the side storyline between Lucifer and Dan as they're struggling to keep hold of the witness, who keeps causing them a lot of problems. It's nice seeing Lucifer's and Dan's friendship again and seeing them interact. And Lucifer teasing Dan about his hate for roller coasters, especially when he puts up the giant poster of Dan on the roller coaster at the precinct... hilarious. And lastly... I really like how Maze joins the episode briefly as she mocks both Lucifer and Dan for allowing the girl to run away from them. So funny. Thank you so much for your reaction for an episode I definitely consider to be one of my favorites from this season, Indian Calypso! I really enjoyed watching it very much! Until your next reactions, my friend...

[@heidimarcum5984]

Boo Normal- Yay!! I really love this episode!! I have to say that while most of this episode is about as strong as most of the episodes that to me are somewhere in the middle throughout this show as far as likeability goes... the ending from the moment Lucifer recognizes Ella's words are the same words often spoken by his sister and onward... this ending raises this episode up for me as one of my favorite episodes throughout all of season three. The ending between Lucifer and Azrael, or Rae Rae as she prefers to be called is a beautiful twist that I didn't expect, but absolutely love! And these ending scenes between Lucifer and Azrael, as well as between Lucifer and Ella too... are my absolute favorite scenes throughout the entire episode. :) First... I love how Ella says "Smell you later" to Lucifer just like Rae Rae had said to her when she said goodbye before leaving her friend alone again, and then seeing the recognition of the words in Lucifer's eyes when he turns around to ask Ella about why she used these particular words. It is a bit strange that this episode introduces us to the possibility of a ghost being a new character, or even just as a one time character for a single episode. And it's a bit strange that this episode also shows us the possibility that Ella might be crazy. We know she's a bit eccentric and super perky, but I've never thought of her as crazy. And to be honest, I wasn't really sure if I would have liked it if Rae Rae would have turned out to be a ghost or just her imaginary friend. Even after we learn more about the trauma she's suffered since her childhood upon being in such a bad accident. But then we learn that Rae Rae is really an angel... and I immediately came to love this storyline for Ella ten time smore than I did throughout the rest of this episode. Because an angel revealing herself only to Ella and Ella being the only one able to see her for now... is amazing, and is such a fantastic storyline for Ella! This storyline also allows for the possibility of a future episode where Lucifer could reveal the truth about himself truly being the Devil to Ella as well, since he could use Rae Rae as a way of easing Ella into the truth and of assuring her that he would never ever hurt her. And I would actually love it if something like this between Lucifer and Ella happened. Also... if you think back to the Vegas episode earlier this season, when Lucifer and Ella come to Las Vegas on Chloe's birthday to help Candy upon learning she is in trouble, Ella somewhat opens up to Lucifer about her coping mechanisms to help quiet the voices in her head, until she quickly stops herself from explaining further in spite of Lucifer's attempt to encourage her to do so. I remember you mentioning in your reaction for this episode that you would be interested to learn more about these voices Ella had been talking about. Well... this episode finally answers these questions. Ella reveals in this episode that she has struggled with seeing what she believed to be her imaginary friend at first, until Rae Rae later tells her she's actually a ghost since she's never gone away after Ella became older. Unfortunately, this only causes more problems for Ella once she explains she had told her family about her ghost friend, and that they never understood her, making her feel like she was crazy and forced medications on her. I really love this overall storyline for Ella throughout this episode as she opens up to Rae Rae and especially to Chloe about her past troubles. Which leads me to the first of my favorite scenes... when Ella finally reveals to Chloe why she's been acting so jumpy and nervous during their investigation. I love how Ella's worried about Chloe's reaction to her craziness, and yet how Chloe is so kind and understanding. And how Chloe tells Ella how happy she is to learn that Ella will be staying in Los Angeles, after worrying about her leaving to return home at the behest of her brothers. Chloe's words to Ella in this scene and before at the precinct are just beautiful and so sweet. We really don't get too many scenes between Chloe and Ella throughout this show without them being about one of their investigations. But I really love their friendship. And then... my absolute favorite scene throughout this episode like I mentioned above, comes in the ending upon Lucifer recognizing the name of Ella's friend when she calls her Rae Rae, and then Lucifer arrives at home and calls out for someone to show themselves upon sensing someone's there. However, instead of calling her Rae Rae, he calls her by her true name... Azrael, revealing that Rae Rae is actually the Angel of Death, and Lucifer's younger sister. I absolutely love it!!!

[@alanplays2881]

So Vegas with some Radish Ella mentions counting cards help silence the voices. She felt she appeared crazy so she considered it more a I hear voices scenario. I loved this episode it was so wholesome. Showing Lucifer still has siblings that love and miss him. Azriel is awesome and I hope to see more of her in future episodes.

[@tkfaf15]

I knew you'd love finding out who Ray-Ray really is. It was such a lovely surprise. Looking forward to your reaction to 3x26!

[@inkflower08]

I think I watched or read something about the comics that Lucifer is loosely based on. There is a storyline where the angel of death goes to collect the soul of a young girl that died in a car crash but she liked her so much that she didn't want to take her soul. I love how that kind of turned out to be Ella. I kind of hope one day Ella will find out who Rayray really is.

[@vilestine]

This was originally meant to be season 4 episode, so Chloe already knows about Lucifer at this point. That's why she believes Ella see's ghosts :D

[@pixelqube3274]

Azriel the angel of death. Isn't it great that the song at the end is Sanctuary? A safe haven. :D Ray ray said that Ellas accident wasn't her time to die. it was a wrong report "these things happen". Also whats awesome is the pins on Ray Ray's cloak is a big fish eating a little fish. Adorably morbid :D

[@rbhatt2247]

Lucifer misses his sister too.....though he won't accept it. Thats why at the end he goes on to hear Ella's 'boring' talk the way he did for Azriel. And Azriel is happy that now there is someone looking out for Ella as well as she had been all this time. Guardian angel to guardian devil

[@stevenrod100]

This might be my favorite episode from the first 3 seasons just for Ray Ray. I like seeing that Lucifer has a sister that actually loves him and expands on their family of angels. Starts feeling more and more like a real family. And again I really love having more Ella.

[@stevenrod100]

I know people say this episode goes between episodes 15 and 16 but I always felt like it was planned for season 4 before being cancelled. No Amenadiel after he returned to Heaven, no Cain or Charlotte, Lucifer and Decker don't work together after she finds out who he really is and Decker even says she's seen crazier stuff than ghosts meaning she knows about demons and angels now. Always made me feel like it was written to go after the finale.

[@esrevr]

But there's one thing here mate, Luci working with Dan just fine and as friendly as they can get, which doesn't make sense if it was planned for post-finale since Dan deeply hate Luci after what happened to Charlotte.. But still, it's just my theory as well

[@MW-pb2gf]

@@esrevr It makes more sense to assume they originally weren’t planning for Dan and Lucifer to be on the outs in season 4, than to ignore all the other post-season 3 content (no Cain, Chloe knowing the truth about Lucifer, etc.) Besides, it’s on record that this was LITERALLY going to be a season 4 episode. Like it’s not a matter of debate, this was filmed with season 3 with plans to include it in season 4 (the way several season 2 episodes got bumped to season 3). So it’s literally set during season 4, because that’s where it was going to be before Fox cancelled the show.

[@amazedsatsuma]

@@MW-pb2gf I feel based on this episode that the original plan for season 4 was start off with Luci working Dan because Decker needed time to process learning the truth, but that plan was scrap with jump to Netflix reduce the total number of episodes for the season

[@granadosvm]

In a previous episode Lucifer is asked "Is Azrael, the angel of death another of your brothers?" and he says "Sister, actually".

[@grumpyoldgraymetalhead2441]

I loved when Linda said “ the Angel of death is a chick?”

[@CK-hg8qp]

When was this I dont remember

[@CK-hg8qp]

When did this happen

[@greigclement9081]

8:15 Chloe: " I have seen a lot of crazier things...". Although this episode was not intentionally set after 24, the emotion Chloe showed delivering that line could almost be post Lucifer-reveal. However the whole three seasons worth of events leading up 24 would have contributed to that emotion as well. Chloe is still processing all the crazy stuff that she has witnessed since working with Lucifer. The Lucifer-Dan sub plot was hilarious !

[@amazedsatsuma]

Everything I read that this episode is set after season 3 and the original plan was for it to be part of the 4th season if Fox decided to kept the rights...keep in mind if Fox kept Lucifer, it's 4th season likely would have been another 20 episodes.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@amazedsatsuma 20 episodes, each about 45 minutes long after you remove the ads. So that would be 15 hours of shows. On Netflix, it's an average of about 50 minutes per episode (at least in season 5A), and 16 episodes this season, which is 13 hours and 20 minutes. So it would really only have been about an hour and a half more content on Fox.

[@amazedsatsuma]

@@IceMetalPunk Not for nothing, but isn't it a little bit of cherry picking to mention the 5th season as it got a expanded run as it was originally going to have just 10 episodes just like season 4 was source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fonHXoB8Yr16r6s Anyways, I think you are missing my overall point as it really shouldn't be a minutes to minutes comparison. The jump to Netflix has require the writers to limit the number that mostly independent episodes for more serialize story telling

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@amazedsatsuma Runtime is runtime. If you can fit bonus plot points into 15 hours, you can most certainly fit it into 13.5 hours. It might need to be reworked as a B plot for cohesiveness, but the number of episodes isn't a time limit.

[@danilopapais1464]

One of my favourite episodes, loved the introduction of Azrael/Ray-Ray. Btw, the flaming sword was hers, as already mentioned in an earlier episode.

[@marzin137]

Azrael: Angel of Death Ray-Ray: a cute, adorable girl who cares of his brother Lucifer who is the Lord of hell I love Ray-Ray

[@MEDlC92]

Ray had is a bigger egg than just being an angal (now) in disguise. In the comic there was a girl who died in a car crash and another girl survived and came across Lucifer (can't recall if Ray Ray was the live or read girl, read the comic yrs ago). So they repurposed some of the comic book stuff for this show which was cool.

[@amazedsatsuma]

Azrael is a great character and I personally hope we see her again as events of this bonus episode were reference later in the series.

Except lucifer and amenadiel made her out to be scary in those episodes. Mentioning that she's no sweet peach. Had absolutely nothing to do with being outsmarted by Uriel, as he could read patterns and was 10+ steps ahead of everyone all of the time. He just never actually imagined that lucifer would kill him so he didnt see it coming.

[@Tomani3905]

Not a spoiler but, in the "Sandman" comic book series (written by Neil Gaiman...who also wrote the spin-off comic book series "Lucifer" that this awesome show is based upon), "Death" manifests itself as a somewhat charming & perky Goth chick instead of the traditional creepy-scary-looking dude. It is said that the writers of this episode used that idea as the template for Azrael/Ray-Ray in this episode.

And since Halloween I've been distractingly drunk and depressed and haven't really been watching and I come back by happenstance to this episode. That's not your problem it's mine don't worry about it but the irony is not lost on me Ella's my favorite character and I come back to you doing I think my favorite episode of you it's a damn good Lucifer episode but I think it's my favorite Indian Calypso episode. Thank you for being here for everyone and allowing us to enjoy the show with you if you haven't checked it out already kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqi6iHuPeMefg7c is a KZbin music edit from the song at the end of this and Lucifer I was wondering why every time I watched one of your episodes my mind kept wandering back to that song, I guess now I know.

[@zimvader25]

Not to bash that actress but for the role that required that reveal, they should've gone with someone else. She was perfect as the goofy ghost friend but completely out of place and ridiculous as azrael. Specially since Uriel, lucifer and amenadiel had already made her out to be a no nonsense angel whose bad side you wanted to avoid. There are plenty of actresses that could pull off both, quirky and serious, like zooey deschanel, for example. Hell even the actress that played Remi in season 4 would've probably been a better fit here.
