Lucifer and other things

shadowkat1. Saw Lucifer -- while Tom Ellis was extremely hot in it and the story for the most part was really interesting, particularly in regards to Lucifer and his relationships, and motivation.
I find Welling's Pierce extremely vomit worthy and unwatchable. I don't know why. And fast-forwarded through most of his scenes. I don't know why he makes my skin crawl but he does, he didn't when he was playing Superman in Smallville, but he does now. I can't watch him. It's not as if I'm a Chloe/Lucifer shipper -- I'm not. Frankly, Chloe has been annoying me lately -- she's extremely dense. Also, I've realized I don't like Pierce with anyone and his scenes with Chloe make me cringe. This is a problem or will be a problem if the series doesn't kill him off and soon. We only have two episodes left, I think? So not a lot of time. Shame, I like everyone else, except when they have scenes with him.
On the other hand, it's possible ... It appears the asswipe (Pierce) has lost the Mark of Caine, and can have a life with Chloe, apparently Chloe loving him is enough? Why she loves him is beyond me. He makes my skin crawl. And I think he's ugly. But again, Chloe is bugging me at the moment. The character is written as being a bit erratic and we have not been in her point of view for some time. It's also worth noting that I have zero patience for love triangles.
I actually preferred the Detective Dan/Chloe/Lucifer love triangle, because I liked both Det. Dan and Lucifer, and I'd have been fine with Chloe ending up with Detective Dan. But Pierce...Ewww.
They really miscast this role. I would have loved it if they had Johnny Barash who played the killer of the week in it instead. That actor is good look and can actually act. Welling has two expressions.
Anyhow it is frustrating me. Although if I take two or three steps back from it? I think they will kill Pierce off. Maze or Lucifer or someone will kill him. He can be killed now. The Mark of Caine is gone. And he'll go to hell, he's not been living the good life. In hell, he'll be reliving what he did to Chloe, over and over again. There's already foreshadowing for that. Which is a good story, I think. I just wish I didn't have to put up with Tom Welling. I hear he's a nice enough guy, but for some reason I can't stand watching him act.
2. Tired. Have been sleeping poorly. Averaging about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, which is making me cranky. Culprit? Dreaded heat flashes and nightsweates which either keep me awake or wake me up in the middle of the night. Also allergies.
Climate changes haven't helped. Since arthritis is acting up, I think. My right knee is bothering me and my lower back. So, I'm irritable.
Also buried at work. But doing one thing at a time. It's actually better when I'm busy, when I'm not I get antsy and anxious. I don't handle boredom or down-time at work well. I'd rather have a lot to do. None of it is overly stressful, since none of the projects are political. Which means management leaves me alone for the most part. Management doesn't handle stress or politically sensitive projects well.
I've come to the conclusion that most human beings do not handle the following well: fame, excessive wealth, and power. Seems to be toxic to the human consciousness.
3. What is in a name?
Not a hell of a lot. Although a lot of people seem to think so. I'm struggling to understand that perspective. I guess I can in a way, since I can't imagine being called anything else but what my parents chose to call me. But, at the same time, a part of me, knows this is not my true name. Weird but there it is. So it never has mattered all that much to me one way or the other. There are names I do not want to be called, and I do not like the variations on my name. I will only take two, no more.
But...it's a popular name. It's not rooted in family history. No one else in my family has it, while a lot of people I'm not related to actually do have it. Over 400 people on the internet, all colors, all races, all ages, and genders have variations or my exact name. There's a few who have a variation of my first name as their last, and my last as their first.
My last name? Hundreds have it. And when we tracked it all the way back to the 1700s in Wales, it turned out that it was the mother's name not the father's, she had a child out of wedlock and he was the only one who went on to procreate. She'd given him her last name, and as a result all his children carried her name, not his father's. Hee. I have a last name that stops on the matrinlineal line not the patrilineal. That's sort of cool.
The name is rather lame. It means "Gray". Seriously. And it is misspelled constantly by everyone, regardless of race or ethnicity. Although people from India and Middle Eastern countries in my company tend to misspell it the most. I enjoy this, because it means they can't complain when I mispronounce and misspell their names. Hah.
Names aren't ethnic as folks believe. I've met African-Americans named Kevin, Charlie, and Melissa.
I've met white people named Rashia, Yvonne, Sharona, Marquetta, Absalome, Issac, etc.
You can't tell if someone is Jewish by their name. My mother's last name is the same as Woody Allen's actual last name. It's German. And I'll have you know we had a lot of Jacob's in my family.
My online name is as popular as my own one. Try finding me by my name -- very hard to do.
Added to all of this? I can't remember names very well. Often mispronounce them, because the majority of names aren't spelled the way they sound. And, well, I have a sort of auditory dyslexia. I flip sounds around. Particularly consonants. Took me forever to figure out the difference between "S" and "Th" -- they sound the same to me. And "AA" and "AOU". Also G and Q sounds are difficult for me to distinguish. I have troubles distinguishing soft consonants. It's why I struggled with spoken French, I could read it fine, just couldn't hear it.
What saved me, weirdly, was taking theater classes. Up until then, I had a pronounced lisp, and struggled articulating certain words. But taking drama classes, memorizing the lines, practicing in front of the mirror and mimicking how others talked -- got me past it. I need to hook it into a story. I couldn't do it via phonics or just sounds, I needed something more concrete.
Still struggle with names though. And I don't name things. I never have. I name characters in stories, of course. But not computers, not stuffed animals, etc. Because to me, names are rather irrelevant. I don't really understand when someone gets upset or particular over how their name is pronounced.
I have noticed that a lot of POC seem to take issue with it. Folks, if you have a name that is difficult to pronounce regardless of your ethnicity, people are going to screw it up. It's not racist. It's that you happen to have a name people can't pronounce. For instance? Ra-Keen, is not easy for everyone to pronounce. I actually find it a lot easier than Thingamanga, which I can't pronounce at all, but is rather cool. Or Valenguez.
Living in New York City is challenging, eighty-five percent of the people I work with, play with, and well etc, have names I can't pronounce. I spend a lot of time avoiding using their name.
Stupid parents. You couldn't just call people something simple?
4. Resisting the urge to do a Buffy/Angel rewatch. When in reality, I just want to watch certain episodes featuring Spike and ignoring others. Like all television series, Buffy and Angel had episodes I loved, and episodes that made me want to run from the room screaming or with an odd desire to hunt down the writers and either strangle them or shake them, asking repeatedly "what were you thinking??"
In the case of Buffy, I remember getting annoyed and a tad disappointed half-way through S6, when I figured out where they were going and had really hoped they'd do something else. But no, they fell into the cliche television/comic book soap opera serial trope. Stupid writers. I personally preferred some of the ideas the fandom had dreamed up. Which is another problem with television serial fandoms is often the fandom or the folks speculating and writing fanfic come up with better ideas than the television writers. Mainly because they are more focused on the story, not worried about pleasing anyone but themselves, and don't have a network to answer to. Also don't have to worry about advertisers and ratings. Whedon, unfortunately, fell into the soap opera/comic book writer trap of going for "shock" value or what can I do to shock or stir up the audience? It's a trap, avoid at all costs. Meanwhile the fanfic writers seemed to be more interested in other things.
Examples?
* Warren figures out how to manipulate Spike's chip, so he's forced to do Warren's dirty work. To the point that Spike begs Willow to kill him or give him a soul. Dark Willow gives him a soul, which short-circuits the chip, and drives Spike insane.
The gang calls in Angel to help Spike. I can't remember the name of the story or exactly what happened, but is was really disturbing and far more interesting from a metaphysical standpoint than the series.
* Spike gets Dawn involved in his demon egg business, hoping to get money to help Buffy. And ends up almost getting Dawn killed. He goes to get a soul, because of his transgression.
* Dawn is still the key, and her power begins to go out of control and effect reality, breaking it down. Or now that Glory is gone, Dawn begins to de-stablilize as the key.
* Anya goes full venegance demon.
They could have done all sorts of interesting things.
It's a great show, but for the character arcs and the characters, not really the plotting.
The other shows I'm resisting the urge to watch are Gilmore Girls and Dawson's Creek (which I didn't really watch when it aired, because it irritated me). Also it's not like I don't have enough television to watch. Barely getting through the shows saved to my DVR, and haven't made it to the one's on Netflix.

Date: 2018-04-18 03:14 am (UTC)I usually remember very well what I hear, but oddly names kind of bounce off me. In college I often learned peoples names after weeks of being around them, when other people called them by name. I find addressing someone directly by name actually awkward, and find dialog in books where two people keep saying each others names (usually it's just a device to keep who is talking in the dialog straight) really odd. Also bit odd perhaps, but I've sometimes let people I didn't care about keep calling me by the wrong name. Back in the days when I had to answer the phone to find if it was a telemarketer, if the person on the other end of the line addressed me by my first name I knew immediately they didn't know me. A guy living directly across the hall one year in grad school and his girlfriend started calling me a completely wrong name despite the fact I had my name on my door. I didn't really care and I guess they didn't either. ;o)

Have had the same experience. I find it really jarring when people call me by my name, unless it's needed -- ie. if there are three people sharing a cubicle wall and you need to know who is addressing who. But if it's just two people talking?
Usually the rule is to use names if you have a group of three or more people talking and need to keep track of who is who. Because the reader can't see them -- outside of what you put on the page. Example:
"Xander, what the hell are you doing with Spike? Get off him this instance, that's my boyfriend."
"Really, Harmony, not so much any longer," Buffy said.
See? It's needed there. But not...
"Xander, I can't go with you to the prom," Buffy said.
"Got it, Buffy," Xander said.
Not needed, particularly if it is just Buffy and Xander talking.
Or...
"Lando? Have you ever closed a PO?"
"No, I haven't."
(Lando, Rick and I share a cubical wall, we don't see each other, we are talking over the wall. He'd not know who I was referring to otherwise.)

Date: 2018-04-18 04:49 pm (UTC)Agreed.
Pierce has never actually done anything except on the shallowest level to establish himself as a credible love interest for Chloe or an object of admiration for Ella
Exactly. Too much telling here - not enough showing. When you have a character like Ella constantly having to say how hot a character is, or how much chemistry is between him and Chloe, there's a problem. It should not be required. The writers appear to be relying too heavily on Welling's good looks and charisma (which frankly is subjective and if you don't see it -- it won't work or carry the day). Also, it still doesn't explain why either Ella or Chloe would care for him -- are they really that shallow?
It's poorly written and doesn't work.
Add to that...
I think his stronger argument which he hasn't tried is that Pierce was egging on the Sinnerman.
THIS. The writer's have appeared to have completely forgotten or pushed under the rug that Pierce raised and egged on the Sinnerman in order to get Lucifier and Chloe's interest, so someone would kill him. Which makes me an accessory to the Sinnerman, and just as culpable.
You can't just introduce a plot arc like that and then drop it as if it didn't matter. Plus, it made Pierce's character unlikable and unsympathetic from the beginning.

Date: 2018-04-18 06:59 pm (UTC)Petzi had tipped me off that Starz would be on a free watchathon this week, however it turns out it's all the main PPV networks. And yet I find myself unable to watch much because the two main shows I watch with Mike he doesn't have time to see more than an episode per day right now. So I've tried out a variety of movies and shows and haven't been really taken with any of them.
no subject
Date: 2018-04-19 01:54 am (UTC)I'm in the same situation. Trying to get stuff off the DVR. It would help of course if I stopped trying new shows and adding to the list.
Starz, I'd be tempted by, but no time. I'm exhausted and nothing is really grabbing me at the moment. I did like "Killing Eve" -- I will say that much.
"Lucifer" -- I liked for Tom Ellis, Charlotte, Dan, Linda, Maze, and pretty much everyone but Ella, Chloe and Pierce - Ella and Chloe are being sucked into the abyss of ickiness that is Pierce.

Date: 2018-04-19 10:40 pm (UTC)However on Pierce's whole empathy story bit - I find it hard to buy Pierce's moment of empathy. For one thing, he didn't come to it on his own -- Maze sort of shoved it in his face. He likes to think he's a half-way decent guy who has been shafted by fate. Maze basically said, eh, no, you aren't, you are a ruthless asshole. This made him pause. Then he goes to Chloe, is all set to move forward, etc, and she is in the act of admitting her love for him -- when he decides, eh, I'll dump her now. (Which he did previously because he couldn't handle her dying and him living forever. Now, he realizes that having her watch him die instead or deal with his death is just as bad.) So, hey, it won't be so bad if I dump her in the middle of her spiel that she loves me.
What is interesting is how Lucifer reacted -- he wasn't upset that Chloe admitted her love for Pierce, as much as he was that Pierce had broken her heart and hurt her. Now that's empathy. The devil, a fallen angel, has more empathy than this nitwit human who has wandered the earth for centuries. That's just sad.
Just as I think it would make more sense if Lucifier's glacial moral evolution away from complete selfishness were the thing that brought his wings back and made his devil face disappear. (Rather than it just being due to the show not wanting to spend any more than it had to on CGI.) And Amenadiel's in the same boat. They're all so obsessed with God that they fail to realize that they themselves are the author of their own misery.
Sigh. Agree. So much. God is just sitting back and laughing his ass off at them at this point. Both are obsessed with Daddy, and it's getting old. The writer's need to move this bit along.
no subject
Date: 2018-04-19 03:10 pm (UTC)I'm on the boat for Pierce's Mark having gone away because he did something unselfish. (Trying to kill himself, or get other people to kill him, has been selfish, the entire show. He hasn't done anything unselfish until this point. Killing his brother? Was selfish, not evil.) I'm sure we'll find out, because Lucifer does tend to tie things well (unless they're in regard to Lucifer himself, in which case: aaaargh).
I WILL NOT DISCUSS PIERCE.
Did you notice the moment where Lucifer's eyes flickered? Like when he shows his devil face? That was him, actually angry, versus the sort of meh anger he's had up til now this season (and last). Disappointment and irritation, sure, but not real anger. And it was Just anger, which makes the situation interesting. I don't feel like this is actually the plot, but it would be interesting if Lucifer had been given his divinity back as a trial to see if he will Fall again. The first time he Fell, it was the first rebellion, and God just sort of kicked him out. After leaving hell, it feels like he's been acting more like an angel than he ever did before. He is, inherently, Good. So, can he keep his wings? Who knows.
Conversely, I think what the plot is actually doing is a weird reflection of Chloe, and how Chloe feels. Her being relatively calm and happy this season (and thus boring) has reflected onto Lucifer, who rests so much of his emotional well-being on Chloe's emotional well-being. He has wings because his own personal attachments have "corrupted" his nature. It would also explain why his eyes changed briefly while Chloe was upset.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I'M PROBABLY WRONG, AND IT'S PROBABLY SOME BIZARRE PLOT INVOLVING ANGELS AND GOD. Because the show has not gotten particularly crafty this season. Alas.
I do think that Lucifer's connection to Chloe has something to do with it, though.
no subject
Date: 2018-04-19 11:20 pm (UTC)Whoa...the devil, a fallen angel, who's really only been around humans for a little while has more empathy and compassion for them than a nitwit human who has been traversing the earth for a millenium.
Also, I'd agree that Lucifer's reactions are related to Chloe somehow. She's making him vulnerable -- and vulnerability means the ability to feel, to care about others, to empathize with them, to feel their pain, their suffering, and to care what happens to people. She's pulling Lucifer out of himself.
Amendial pushed Pierce in Chloe's direction, when he stated, see, if Chloe can do that for my brother, you have a chance too...since love can make you vulnerable. So the plan is Pierce goes after Chloe, no holds barred, pretends to be the "perfect" boyfriend until she falls for him and he becomes vulnerable, which in turn removes the curse. Then Maze kills him. But alas, Maze told him that he was an evil bastard for doing this to Chloe and he felt a shade of remorse. Not empathy so much as remorse. (Because remember he called things off the first round, because he didn't want to live forever only to watch her die, now, he's willing to have her fall for him only to have him die on her. That's pretty nasty -- considering this is man who knows better than anyone what it is like to lose people he cares deeply about.) Anyhow, the curse fades when Chloe falls for him because he has a hot bode, brings her beer, takes her to the beach..and he allegedly falls for Chloe. And it goes away completely when he feels remorse.
Here's what I think -- Caine can't go to hell because he has no remorse for anything he's done. So he was cursed until he finally has remorse for something he's done -- so then he can die and go to hell, to relive that guilt for eternity.
The foreshadowing for that is already there. And it's how they've set it up. It also gives them the ability to bring him back if and when they want to.

no subject
Date: 2018-04-20 04:27 pm (UTC)Curious to see how the writer's resolve it -- since part of it is cost related, CGI.
I guess I don't see unselfish and remorse meaning the same thing? But I learned long ago that people define words differently. The English language unfortunately lends itself to that. It makes life confusing, but interesting.
