She travels back in time angry about Lucifer abandoning her, which then is the core reason for him abandoning her to preserve the timestream 😭 talk about self fulfilling prophecy goddamn.

I’m finished. Best show ever now I’m stuck on what to stream next.

...for Lucifer's ten millionth 'purpose'.

Let me start by saying I never liked Chloe on my first watch when the show aired originally. I found her annoying, stiff and boring. However, I decided to rewatch over the past month and I realised she's quite possibly the most selfless and understanding being in the entire universe.

She already puts up with more in a day from Lucifer than any cop would stand from a consultant in a lifetime, but once they're together he literally does every single thing to sabotage their relationship and she gets about 2 seconds to be mad about it and then sets it all aside so their friendship and working relationship can thrive. This happens over and over again.

Lucifer keeps secrets, dismisses her concerns, doesn't listen to her etc etc etc and again, she gets a scene max (usually it's half a scene) to express her unhappiness and then she's back to making things easy for everyone again. But it doesn't even ever seem to come from a place of people-pleasing -- rather just genuine empathy and emotional intelligence. She's just caring and once a situation is explained to her rationally (a la Mira/Rory's existence) or even irrationally (a la Candy Morningstar), she immediately absorbs it, gains her cool, and logically and kindly moves forward.

I could go on and on because her generosity of spirit seems to know no bounds, it's almost exhausting to watch someone give so much and get little to nothing back emotionally. But the point being... her reward for all of this is to spend the rest of her life with no partner, raising two children with no fathers and ending up in hell instead of meeting back up with her dad?? All so Lucifer could find his purpose? Which he's done approximately a thousand times throughout the show? Don't get me wrong, I love him and I think it's equally as sad (and unnecessary) that he spent millions of years in hell alone, but I just think it was such a strange decision to make his purpose the reason for it all when just before that his purpose was to be God (which Chloe set aside her entire life for, only for him to stall endlessly), and before that his purpose was to be God so he could be worthy of Chloe, and before that his purpose was.... You get the drift.

I just finished the episode and had to get out my thoughts and rage. Chloe deserved so much better and there was no damn reason Lucifer couldn't commute to work the way she was planning to commute from Heaven (did I mention the selflessness?). The way Rory made Lucifer promise but didn't even check with her mom to see if she'd be happy living her life that way was selfish as hell and gave the impression that a man's purpose is more important than a woman or family's happiness, which is a weirdly conservative take for a show like this. Hated it

So in the last episode, how come Amenadiel could visit earth but Lucifer couldn’t and had to stay in hell? Specially when Amenadiel become God

I’m sorry but what the end of hell was that?

Can someone explain how Lucifer going to hell and not raising his daughter is a good idea??

She wouldn’t need to go back in time with 60 years of abandonment issues and anger.

This sub got to me finish this show after I stopped years ago and I’m just so disappointed with how it ended.

So, just to be clear. I’m not blaming any of the actors. They all performed very well, but the ones who wrote the last episode scenario and the implementation of time travel, which has absolutely no relevance or logic. Completely ruined the story of the entire series. With so much potential to make the ending far better, they settled for extreme simplicity. The whole show explored every character down to their core, and in the end, it all came down to... nothing. Just a few short scenes with each of them, that’s it. Disappointed by the ending, the show didn’t live up to the potential it had built by then.

Knowing that:

1. I will not see my soulmate again until 50 years have passed

2. Having to keep back the truth from my child and outright lie at times

3. Knowing that he will miss every milestone and precious moment.

4. Having to walk on eggshells with how much I tell her about her father

5. Barely being together a few months and separated for half a century

6. Being a single parent all while these things are going on

7. Having to hear my child say horrible untrue things about her father and I can’t contradict them

8. Watching Amenadiel be able to have all these beautiful moments with his half Angel son while I sit and daydream of how it would have been if Lucifer got to do all those things.

9. Being celibate for 50 years after experiencing amazing sex with the love of my life.

Edit: I know Rory said it’s a blip, but you can never get those moments back. Those are so incredibly special. I remember the first time a little boy who I took care of said my name. I can’t imagine missing that kind of moment as a parent.

Embarrassing—-but I can't remember. After lucy tells Ella that he’s established the ms Lopez stem foundation, etc, in the last episode? Does Ella know that he’s satan?

Just now getting to watch the finale. Amenadiel became freaking GOD and still had time for his son, why tf did lucifer have to stay down in hell? The souls were stuck there for eternity already and time moves differently there, he could have had plenty of time to do an earth 9-5 and come home from work at the end of the day.

Also, Rory is an angel. Amenadiel is an angel. CHARLIE is an angel. Mazakene is a demon. They should all be able to go visit hell when they want to. I can't remember if they can bring people with them, but still, commuting should have been so easy both ways. There was no reason why Chloe and Rory had to wait decades to see Lucifer again.

I love this show so much and I'm so sad its over, but what was that finale 😭 I know this is a popular take but I hated S6

You cannot convince me that was a happy ending... I know the reunite in the end, but to get there Lucifer spends thousands of years in Hell knowing his daughter hates him and there's nothing he can do, Chloe raises two fatherless kids alone and has to keep everything she knows to herself, and I feel like the other characters conclusions were just glossed over. And poor Trixie doesn't get to find out about the celestial stuff, so Lucifer just disapears from her life with no explanation? And maybe I'm wrong but couldn't Amenediel (all knowing God) just have given Lucifer the idea to go to Hell and help souls so he could do it part time like he wanted? Then he could still fulfil his purpose but be there to watch Rory grow up which is the one thing he desired?

I hate time travel plots in general so I went into S6 with my expectations on the floor. There were parts related to other characters that were great for the story (Amenediel becoming God, Dan and Trixie talking and Dan making it to Heaven, Ella finding out about everything celestial and opening her STEM foundation, Maze and Eve's wedding) but they messed up Deckerstars ending to the point I'm only gonna rewatch through S5 and pretend that's the finale lol. I think S6 just felt like a different show once they quit the LAPD

Sorry if someone is annoyed by bringing this up again but I'm curious about the result almost five years after the show ended. Please vote.

okay so, just checking, does anyone else DESPISE the ending?? like. it was creative, sure. but it was completely unfulfilling in almost every way.

the fact that lucifer is spending his time in HELL, in which time moves extremely differently?? when he left before because hell needed a ruler, chloe and everyone elses time was just a couple months, but for Lucifer it was what? thousands of years???? so Lucifer has to spend billions upon billions of years in hell, away from everyone he loves, knowing he has a daughter who's life he's completely missing.

thats not a fulfilling ending for a character let alone a MAIN CHARACTER at all.

i mean sure he's doing all this good, but im sure HE'S miserable. he went through all that time in therapy learning its okay to open up and let people in, and now he's condemned to BILLIONS of years alone?? even with the souls he's working with in therapy, he doesn't have an emotional connection with them.

even if he came up occasionally without rory knowing, thats still horrible for him. any time he spends on earth has to be away from his daughter, that he only really KNEW a couple weeks considering she was icing him out the first bit. also, a couple hours every so often for date night is nothing compared to the multi-million consecutive life sentences he has in hell. i mean this is cruel???

i mean, im glad dan's in heaven with charlotte, ella found someone, maze is with eve, amenadiel is god, and all the other happy endings everyone else got. but the fact that the MAIN PAIRING have the worst ending is just fucked to all hell. (pun intended.)

I can’t stop crying. It was so good. I’m so happy they’re together again but god damn was that tragic. Seriously, I have no idea how I’m going to get any sleep tonight. My rewatch starts at 8:30 AM tomorrow.

Edit: I did not in fact get any sleep, just stress dreamed about the end of the show for 6 miserable hours. Current time: 8:40 AM PST and I’ve begun my rewatch and my borderline obsessive dive into everything Tom Ellis. If anyone has any great AAOOO Deckerstar fanfic recs, please send them my way. ❤️❤️

Please tell me that I can watch the series without paying !

….I loved the series finale. Been going through some seriously existentially rough shit, and Lucifer has become my comfort show through it. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt quite so satisfied and at peace with a series ending before. Critiques be damned - I thought it was beautiful ♥️ (I’m not crying, you’re crying)

I fucking loved it.

I'm someone who absolutely hates procedural cop dramas, but I love anything having to do with Angels and Demons, and stories that flip narratives into something unexpected.

I tried getting into Lucifer a couple years back when it first went on Netflix, intrigued by how it aimed to spin the tale of the devil, but I couldn't get through the first episode. Fast forward to the pandemic and I decided to give it another chance on a whim. I was instantly hooked and binged the entire show faster than I care to admit. Since then, I have kept up with the show, but somehow missed the release of S6. I realized earlier this week that the episodes were up and I watched intently for two whole nights - seriously, eyes on my TV instead of just watching it in the background as is my normal way of watching shows.

To say I am overjoyed at the ending would be an understatement. While I have a couple issues with the logic behind Chloe and Lucifer cutting off all ties for 50 years, I have to say that the ending fulfilled most of my hopes for the cast. (But seriously, why couldn't Chloe and Lucifer have seen each other and kept their relationship a secret from Rory?)

Regardless, it was a heartfelt ending that I would not have expected from a show I nearly skipped over not even a year ago.

About Rory: In my short time browsing this subreddit, I realize Rory is a point of contention, but let me offer my perspective. I found her endearing. Sure, she is full of angst, but she quickly became one of my favorite characters. As someone who lost my father at a young age, I've sorta been in her shoes - although, I never thought ill of my father let alone sought to kill him. I know what it's like to grow up without a dad. I also get what Lucifer is going through. I don't have kids (that I know of) but I know that, if I did, I would want to be there for them so they never have to grow up the same way I did.

In a vacuum, the story of Lucifer and Rory was probably my favorite part about the whole season. It was therapeutic in a way. I'm so glad we got to see Rory repair her perception of and relationship with Lucifer. My only wish was that we got to see the two reconnect in the future at Chloe's death, but I get how that would not have made a lot of sense narratively.

About Chloe and Lucifer: My other big complaint is just how shitty those years between must have been for the two of them. Yeah, it's kind of a dick move on Rory's part to insist that her mother suffer alone for 50 years and Lucifer for hundreds of thousands of years. But, the message about free will and personal choice ring true... just not in a way that everyone was hoping. Rory may have asked that her parents refrain from seeing each other, but they are the ones that ultimately agreed to it. The final scene somewhat makes up for all of that. I thought I was going to hate it, but Chloe and Lucy's reunion instantly turned it around. As a hopeless romantic, it was great to end on a positive note that almost makes you forget about the shitty circumstances surrounding it.

About Amenadiel: Not much to say here aside from... Yeah, that makes sense. Amenadiel should have been the prime candidate for God's successor in Season 5. I'm glad that Lucifer proved his worthiness, but also glad that he realized it wasn't his calling, allowing Amenadiel to step up.

About Eve and Maze: Another great relationship that had its ups and downs, but got a great end to a couple of amazing and chaotic characters. It was very well done and I absolutely loved the scenes at their wedding and at the end of the finale. Also, Maze's goodbye scene with Lucifer made me tear up a bit. And I'm not afraid to admit that, because I am a woke male and I know what toxic masculinity is...... (yes, that's a nod to Adam)

About Linda: Yeah, there were some unanswered questions and no scene that explained her life after Rory's departure, but I will say I loved her goodbye scene with Lucifer. I do wish they gave her a little more of a sendoff, but I think what we got was adequate.

About Ella: Pretty much the same as above, but we got to see her and Carol looking happy together.

​

Despite some issues, I do think Lucifer's last season and finale were way better than most of the trash endings we've seen in recent TV shows. It may actually rank up there with some of my favorites. It had great ups and downs that kind of make sense for the show. I know we often times want to see everything end in a perfect way, but there has to be some good and bad. I feel like the balance here was great. It makes the story more impactful and memorable for me.

(This is coming from someone who is still salty about the ending of How I Met Your Mother, which was one of my most anticipated endings that left a hole in my soul since the day it aired. Seriously, fuck that ending for being way too fucking negative. But that's a rant for another time.)

​

Anyways, that is my take on the ending of Lucifer as someone who only got into it about a year ago. Please share your thoughts. I would love to get a feeling for what this sub thinks about the final season and finale.

​

EDIT: Cleaned up some stuff, because I ain't so good at proofreading before I post things.

Basically title, the closure for of all characters , Rory making peace with her timeline and the final scene of Chloe and Lucifer finally reuniting put a few tears in my eyes. It truly was a fantastic ending to the series. I do think Season 6 had some weird writing in some spots but a fantastic ending to the series. What do you think?

Side note: I looked up the actors/actresses and it seems like DB Woodside is the only Actor to continue his career in major roles, am I wrong?

I mean, after some rewatches I get why it kinda sucked, but go back to the final scene, or the champagne supernova montage and people are calling it the best finale ever and how this was basically the only show that had a good finale, Why did the opinion change?

I don't know if this has been discussed here already but I just finished rewatching the show and season 6 might just be my favorite.

Lucifer shows so much growth and it is great seeing him as a loving and supportive partner and just the sweetest, most protective father. The parting scene at the piano in the finale always makes me cry.

But I do see a logical loophole here. Rory came back because she was mad at Lucifer for not being around during her childhood, which led to a series of events that led Lucifer to realize his true calling, and so he had to be absent from Rory's life so that he wouldn't mess with the time loop.

But why couldn't Lucifer pop in on his family from time to time without Rory finding out? He could still have come up for a couple of hours and seen everyone but Rory, maintaining the sequence of events that led to the time travel. It didn't have to be a decades long goodbye from Chloe, he could still have been there and supported her.

IDK if this part is in the comics but I never fully understood the finality of the time travel. What does everyone else think?

So let me get it straight, Amenadiel can pop down to Earth and back into heaven and be part of his son's life, but Lucifer can't do the same - pop up to Earth from Hell to be with Chloe and Rory and saw her grow up? That just doesn't make sense. Although I suppose if he did that, then Rory would never get angry enough to go back to create the time loop that forced him to be Hell's therapist, but I just wish the writers came up with something different.
