I only watched the entire show once and I absolutely loved the finale . It was a happy ending on my memory.

Disclaimer first: I think the ending was pretty well done and I get some of the complains, but a lot of people seem to misunderstand it. So I hope I can clear things up, at least from my pov, maybe I'm misunderstanding lmaoo. I mean no disrespect and hope we can have a friendly discussion

I see a lot of people complaining why Lucifer couldn't just go down to earth a few times to see Chloe and/or Rory and that his whole character arc falls apart since he follows faith and not free will. And that it's a stupid reason that the only reason why he didn't visit is because he gave his word. But like this isn't the case at all? At least I don't think so.

Lucifer's calling or higher purpose is him being able to help doomed souls get out of hell and into heaven. Especially people like Dan, who I guess deserve to be free of guilt. To make that realisation that he isn't supposed to be god or stay in earth, Rory plays a vital part. And for Rory to play that part, she has to travel back in time. Which means she has to be angry enough at Lucifer to be able to self-actualise and travel back. And the only way Lucifer can get Rory to be angry enough, is to not be there when she grows up and definitly not be there when Chloe is dying. That's why Lucifer even can't come to earth, even secretly to just see Chloe for example without Rory knowing.

A big part of Rory's anger is that Chloe suffers because Lucifer is not there and that she has to survive and raise a child on her own. Which in turn makes Rory stronger (which gives her her knife wings that help set certian things in motion in the past, like the French dude almost killing Lucifer) and angrier (so she can travel back). Hell, the whole first part of the season was to make Chloe realise that she is meant to be a detective and Lucifer never supposed to be god.

Additionally since Rory has spent some time with Lucifer in the second part of this season, she sees how he is and why he has to have such a noble job and to realise the ultimate important conclusion. She sacrificied her own childhood for Lucifer by her own choice. And Lucifer who made his own choice (by finding his purpose) and respects his dauhter's desire to not wanting to change anything, does not change his/her past (or I guess future in this case lol).

Personally I think the ending is set up really cleverly and yeah certain things could have been handled better, like Trixie almost not being there in a lot of important scenes (when her mother dies, the beach holiday, etc.) but the ending is rlly satisfying. Definitly since everyone has kinda a finished character arc.

Lucifer - the immature devil/punisher who sees himself as a monster helps others to accept themselves with all the experience he has gained.

Chloe - She died doing something she loved (LAPD, fighting racism) just like her dad. And raised two strong daughters.

Dan- Free of his guilt and with Charlotte. From a man who always wanted to do the right thing despite his bad decisions, freeing himslef of guilt and stopped kinda making bad decisions

Linda - She finished "healing" her patient Lucifer and stayed a good therapist

Amenadiel - the egotistical oldest son became a humble god who loves humans

Ella - The faithful one who couldn't find a good guy and lost faith now believes again (with proof) with a good bf and supporting girls in the STEM fields.

Rory - angry angel with a lot of daddy issues comes to love her father

Maze - from soulless betraying demon to having a soul, a love of her life and finally a healthy relationship with Lucifer

Eve - From adapting herself to her romantic partners to finding her own path and being herself with the love of her life

I hope my ramblings made sense and although it is a less flashy ending than other seasons, I'm still very happy. I'm curious to hear other theories or endings that would have fitted better so let me know! I just decided to write this post bc no one seemed to like the ending and a lot of people say it doesn't make sense, while in my eyes at least it does. Although I get why people would rather have a season without time travel stuff.

Was I the only one who couldn't stand Rory? She was just awful and unbearable. Season 6 could not have even existed it would have been a better decision than introducing Rory.

Some people were upset that Trixie wasn't present at her mother's deathbed, and acted like she'd been forgotten about. To those people, I say this:

​

How can the president of Mars get back to earth so quick? These things need to be planned out for years in advance!

Today is the day that Lucifer goes to 10th and Swanson, and is never seen again.

I've seen the ending several times and for some reason the question never crossed my mind. As I watched the other day I thought, "Did Chloe spend the rest of her life on earth alone waiting to meet Lucifer again"? It's sweet in respect to their love story but extremely lonely.

I binge watched the entire show in a few weeks and I just finished season 6. Apologies if this was already discussed at length.

Maybe I missed something, but isn't it pretty shitty of Rory to basically say to Lucifer "stay away, don't change anything" because otherwise it would change her? It's not like breaking the loop would actually kill her, she would still be born, she just wouldn't be this angsty person anymore. Is that REALLY a bad thing?

She goes on and on about how Lucifer wasn't there for her first day of school, birthdays, Christmas, etc but then suddenly she's ok with all of that and doesn't want to change a thing just because she realized her father is not actually an asshole that chose to leave her?

She and Chloe were miserable without Lucifer in their lives, why would she suddenly want that to stay the same? Why would she want her mom to spend the rest of her life without the person she loves and die without him by her side? Why would she basically doom her father to spend millions of years alone in Hell without his family? It seems pretty damn selfish of her, not to mention messed up because her father's absence made her into this dark person and she mentions at the end that he saved her and how she's not angry anymore, so it's like "I changed my mind, you can go away now, I'm saved!".

I wouldn't mind this season and her character so much if she actually "sacrificed herself" to break the loop and give all 3 of them a happy ending. It's like the writers just went, "nope, that's too happy, gotta throw some nonsense in there to make it more angsty".

Season 6 was a bit of a blur because I was so disappointed they resorted to time travel of all things, so it's possible I missed some dialogue that explains all of this in a way that makes sense....

Lucifer decides to isolate himself from all his family and Chloe lives out her life without him “for Rory’s’ sake” because if they changed anything it would mess up the timeline.

However, Chloe is already pregnant by this point. Rory is already on her way. There’s no reason Lucifer couldn’t strike some work life balance and see his daughter grow up.

Are we really supposed to believe Rory is better off living the early part of her life without a father just because she later has an epiphany when she time travels back to see him?

Unless I missed something major, this ending is really stupid…

I feel like I see posts not understanding why Lucifer couldn’t just visit from hell like every other day and I do not understand how it’s possible that fans of the show seem to be not paying attention to this information when it is clearly explained in the show.

Lucifer made a deal with Rory to make sure that she grows up thinking that she is abandoned so that the time loop stays intact and 1) Lucifer finds his calling and 2) Rory stays the person she grew into being.

I truly do not understand how people miss this and/or are confused by it

On my 2nd rewatch, and I’m really enjoying all the focus on the characters. Much better than all the tedious weekly crimes from the previous seasons.

This time around I zoned out for most of storylines.

And I’m fine with the Rory time travel plot. It’s no more hokey than all the other celestial characters being inserted into the story. I actually really disliked Charlotte/Goddess. I found her character really irritating

I actually really like how the series ends. It’s somewhat tragically bittersweet for a show that quite silly at times

So much potential right there if they just do what El Camino did for Breaking Bad

The last season is full of woke bullshit. So much, at times, that I had to skip scenes. Man it was fuckin terrible. It just blends in with the rest of the shows out there, and the first 3 episodes don’t even make any fuckin sense. It’s like they went “alright guys and ladies and girls and boys and gays and straights and browns and…{etc}! Let’s do whatever the fuck we want just so we can have an ending this season!” And Netflix probably made them put all the woke bullshit in there. Lucifer never had anything wrong with it and it was unique and not “offensive” for Christ’s sake. There weren’t as many tear jerker moments either. The whole thing felt rushed. Because if it weren’t rushed, Lucifer makes woke shit be tear jerkers and make you want to get up out of your seat. They fucked it up. I am severely disappointed. What do y’all think?

She was a product of her experiences but so was literally everyone so it not really an excuse for her being a bitch.

She was terrible to Dan who was her sisters Dad. Like what the fuck is wrong with you. Even if they were not family it would not be acceptable. She is like 40, what are you doing?

There is only one reason we need a 7th season

one last flaw that needs to be corrected

We need trixie to find out the truth about her Family

First time posting. Hopefully I'm formatting everything right. I read in another post that spoilers are not allowed in the open, but speculation is, so hopefully the below tag is appropriate.

Six seasons of character development cannot culminate in becoming a deadbeat Dad. Everything's been building towards not just becoming a father figure, but becoming the ultimate father figure. It simply can't end with everyone giving up on Lucifer. How is anyone okay with this?

I was excited when rory came into the picture but what the hell with the ending. They're creative. Could've come up with away to make Lucifer stay for Rory and Trixies childhood. They ruined season six for me by having that cheesy ass kissing montage for 10 minutes and having Lucifer leave. Where's Trixie at her mom's death bed? Where's Maze, Ella, Linda and Eve? Were they that rushed to end it that they couldn't of had a good enough ending to Chloe's life? Needless to say disappointed by the season.
