Lucifer; Shadow Day, Post #15
May. 29th, 2018 06:11 pmLast night was the broadcast of what seems likely to be the last episodes of Lucifer. (#SaveLucifer, somebody, COME ON NOW.)
I have loved Lucifer so much -- for its wit, its LA setting (especially in Season 3 when they filmed there), its diverse and lovingly drawn characters, its investment in story for ALL of these characters, for its strong women, for its great performers from top to bottom of the call sheet, for its willingness to play even while it's committed to deeply emotional storylines as well. Last night's final episode (directed by Kevin Alejandro aka Detective Dan, who gave us a bloody beautiful mis-en-scene) was a fanfic-like AU where God, voiced by Neil Gaiman, changed one thing and then watched the butterfly effect take place. It was ficcish, and delicious, and smart as can be.
And it was nice to see the return of Charlotte Richards in the AU *cough**spoilers*. I cannot tell you how much I've enjoyed Tricia Helfer's work as Charlotte Richards this season, her journey and *spoilers*. But all along I've kept thinking about another powerful female attorney in an LA series I adored, and I decided to write a teeny-tiny crossover. My Angel the Series OTP gets a shoutout too.
So: Shadow Day, set after 3.22 "All Hands on Decker" and before 3.23 for obvious reasons. Charlotte makes herself remember a career day shadowing one Lilah Morgan. She won't forget again.
Happy middle of your week!
