Season 4 Leaks Masterpost

(or at least all that we have thus far. Fair warning, I have NO idea if AMC is just distributing the episodes as is, but I have to hope they are!) Please know, this contains potentially huge s4 spoilers.

1) well, obviously we have the trailer. Released back in November of 2022(!!!!!!!!). This is just a teaser though.

2) Michael Aronov and Clark Gregg, our two new besties! Aronov is playing Doctor Nima Rousseau, who shared a lab with Melanie at some point in time (photos of lab equipment that went up for auction were labelled 'Mel + Nima lab') where they seemed to be working on stuff related to climate science. Gregg is playing a military guy named Milius, who also seems to have a bone to pick with Melanie! See below:

3) Milius was actually up for audition before they decided on Clark Gregg, and here was one of the audition sides (note: in this side, Melanie was referred to as 'Meghan Cunningham', and I do not know who John Freeman is):

Commander Milius: A whole library. For Mr John Freeman. Circling the seven wonders of the world, reading English literature, while my people work the mines. Goes to show you, ambition can be an ugly thing. I see you like the classics. Me? I prefer a murder mystery. But there's no mystery in this murder. I know who did it. One thing remains unknown, and that's...your part in this. What can you tell me about Melanie Cavill?

Someone: She's smarter than you.

Milius: (visibly pissed) Is she a woman of integrity? Honor? Does she keep her word?

Someone: What do you want with Melanie?

Milius: To pick her brain.

4) While I did not get a transcript of the second audition side before it was removed, it featured Milius very angry on the phone with someone the night of Departure, because someone popped his tires. I'm not going to claim that Melanie did this, but this is probably something Melanie did.

5) An actress named Sumalee Montano was mentioned in this article as having a recurring role in s4 alongside Daveed Diggs. I have no idea who she plays but it seems to be a legit article.

6) This song is in s4.

7) Obviously, the episode titles. For everyone keeping track, Leslie Hope (director of 2x05, 2x06, 3x04, 3x06, and 3x08) is returning for 4x03, 4x04, and 4x08 and Joe Menendez is joining for 4x05 and 4x06, and we have no idea who directed everything else!

8) Now on to miscellaneous lines! These are taken from call sheets, around 4x05/4x06.

-moonlight glints off of IV bags

-daylights streams in; monitor wakes up Wilford

-Wilford suspended in sleep-his recording...

-Milius enters with soldiers at his side; Layton eyes soldiers

-Milius(?) staring at Liana's stuffed bunny

-Ruth examines somethingf

-Wilford VO: "the fulcrum is one of the most powerful tools an engineer has"

-Wilford's out cold-track scaler lurches and screeches to a halt

-someone's in a corridor with truncheons?

-[elevator] someone turns around a corner to see someone else pulling gas masks out

-dwindling food supplies. Dunno who that applies to though

-Milius strides a lot

-Wilford coughs up thick bile, he types [something we can't see]

9) Now to Ebay listings!

-Josie's keys to the Big Alice brig in 4x03

-Layton's underground silo decontamination goggles from 4x05

-Audrey's book from the New Eden Reading Room in 4x08

-the IPF was made by the UN, as revealed by their paperwork

-Alex has seismology papers

-Melanie has a drone used in her lab

10) I think that's everything. I don't know. Take all of this with a grain of salt because I don't work on the show.

[raayllum]

I feel like with the theme of rayla and Callum reconnecting with who they used to be/ reclaiming identity (see rayla and Soren scene where she says not everyone can be saved and callum as the destiny is a book you write yourself), in later seasons do you think they will revisit a choice with a similar situation? Like callum sacrificing the primal stone/magic in context of the cube key for example or rayla risking herself for the red dragon or zym vs viren

It's hard to tell with TDP when they choose to lay down new plot structures or when they tend to do their repeats, but given the Dragon quartet (1x03, 2x07, 3x08, 3x09), repressed feelings duology (1x06, 3x04), and how many allusions, callbacks, and consistencies S4 has with prior seasons, I do think something Big harkening back is likely.

S4 already draws a lot of parallels to Callum's prior mage arc (staring at the moon in 4x01 the way he stared at the sky in 2x04, the framing with holding onto the lightning rod vs not being able to let go of the cube, etc.) and plenty of other character beats and relationships. Even down to Callum's fear/helplessness arc happening after something is willfully shattered by someone else. In post-S2, it was him shattering/sacrificing the primal stone (something he inherited/stole from Claudia and technically from Viren) and in S4, it is Aaravos shattering his own mirror as well - so I am pleased because I thought those two 'shatterings' so to speak would be mirrored, even if I thought it'd be connected to Aaravos actually getting out rather than just being a power move, if you will

I do think there's good grounds for Callum sacrificing the cube (more on that here) and I think we'll definitely see, whether in S5 or later on, Callum and Rayla restore both 1) ultimately agency to each other and 2) and thereby help each other reaffirm and simultaneously create a new identity. Which is what they were doing all throughout s1-s3, accepting each other as is while also transforming in each other into significantly happier, better people. And TDP loves its restoration arcs thematically for other characters too, so I think we'll see that here as well

I think that Rayla's "We can't save everyone" will be tested by Callum being possessed ("my heart for Xadia" call back) because of course, it doesn't matter what he does or what's happening to him, she's always going to fight for him and fight to save him. That's not a massive change from where she is right now, so perhaps saving her parents will also be something that helps heal that part of her, since the way she lost them / how they left her was such a big reason behind her leaving, as well

TLDR; absolutely, yes, I think we'll see the ways Callum and Rayla have changed - for the worse and for the better - tested and reaffirmed next season, be possibly transformed, and as always, incredibly intertwined in their bond with another.

SO YOU WANT TO KNOW JENNIFER JAREAU?  PT. 1

[I’m sorry I took forever to answer this because I kept saying I was going to come back and finish it so for now you get part one.]

The reality is, Criminal Minds is 15 seasons of television. And in this show that means roughly 15 years of these character’s lives. A LOT happens. But at the same time, this is a pretty old show and it’s a CBS procedural. It’s designed to be digestible even if you don’t follow the main plots. Unlike some other procedurals, it tends to have more of a serialized (week to week) plot going through in terms of the characters’ individual developments and the occasional bigger arc. But that said, when I say an episode is a “good JJ episode” that may mean it’s an episode where she has a good scene or two. It may mean it’s an episode where she has a defining character moment. It does not necessarily mean she will be the entire focus of the episode. The character development in a show like CM is slow and really, really built over time. And the moments you’ll see me piece together on my blog and talk about as important moments for JJ, may often feel like blips on the radar of an episode. Do not expect a 2019, golden age of TV, stop your heart kind of plot and drama. It’s just not that kind of show. It’ll do that now and then, but not all the time. 

So without further ado, I plan to break this episode list up into three subsections: *** means the episode is a must watch to know JJ’s plot and development. This will be saved for Major JJ episodes. ** is for episodes that are JJ focused or have good JJ content but may be simply a good emotional episode, and are not required in order to follow plot moments. Lastly, * means that the episode is just one that I love. It may be another character’s big arc. It may be a mystery I just think is great, or an episode that is considered classic CM. So start at the top. If you don’t have a lot of time at all, stick with the three stars. If you want a full JJ adventure, do three and two. If you want a little bonus stuff because you’re having fun and you like the other characters too, do the three stars, two stars, and ones. 

SEASON 1

*1x01: Extreme Aggressor - JJ isn’t even in this episode. But it’s the pilot. It gives you the backstory and establishes the team.  ***1x02: Compulsion - While not extremely plot relevant as most of my other three start episodes, this is in fact JJ’s first episode. So especially if you’re not going to watch 1x01, give this one a go.  [JJ is not an incredibly important character in season 1. So she’s not in much of it. But with that said, I’d suggest bopping around and watching a few random episodes just to get a feel for the team/vibe/etc] **1x14: Riding the Lightning - JJ is so awesome in this episode. It’s also considered a CM classic so def watch it. It’s not on my must watch list because rules say it’s not plot relevant to JJ’s story specifically but I’d still call it a must watch.  *1x21: Secrets and Lies - not plot relevant but it does have some delightful JJ and Garcia friendship scenes and we love them here.  *1x22: Fisher King Pt 1 - Finale. Not relevant to JJ beyond the fact that it’s the season finale. I will likely put most finales and season premieres on this list because they tend to include the big, team wide, more personal cases. 

SEASON 2

*2x01: Fisher King Pt 2 - like I said, all finales and premieres. This one is a two parter.  **2x06: Boogeyman - a CM Classic. Elle Fanning guest stars. JJ has some great moments with kids because that’s her thing. Not plot relevant.  ***2x07: North Mammon - Not SUPER plot relevant but this is the first time JJ really gets an episode of her own, that’s her arc and feels like her case. It’s a good look into her character and provides some insight into who she is. Also it’s a wild case straight out of a CW show.  *2x09: The Last Word - not important for JJ but it is Emily Prentiss’s intro episode and we just love Emily in this house and she’s a very important character in JJ’s life.  *2x12: Profiler, Profiled - again like most early season episode, not JJ centric. This is a Morgan centric episode and is really a CM classic. Goes into Morgan’s backstory and is heartbreaking and well done. If you’ve gotten this far and find yourself into him, watch this.  ***2x14-2x15: The Big Game/Revelations - This is a two parter with a case that goes in CM fandom history books. It also features some important plot stuff for JJ and some real heartbreaking trauma for the team.  ***2x18: Joneses - JJ has some romance related stuff in this episode that is p important for her arc and life in general.  **2x21: Open Season - Not super plot heavy but a good JJ episode with good scenes a decent case. Does a lot to show what JJ does in her part of the job. AND features Criminal Minds iconic girls at the bar scene. 

SEASON 3

**3x01: Doubt - I left out the season 2 finale so take it or leave it but the Season 3 premiere is good fun. Has some good JJ emotions in it.  *3x02: Name in Blood - Not JJ relevant but a good Emily episode and a case that weirdly becomes relevant in a JJ/Emily episode WAY THE FRICK in season 14 or something.  **3x04: Children of the Dark - No big plot things just a great JJ and Emily episode of them being great together acting like moms.  **3x05: Seven Seconds - No big plot things again but a good perspective of the extent of what JJ’s side of the work deals with.  *3x09: Penelope - HUGE episode, very important. For the team, For JJ, for Garcia. Watch it. [Also maybe watch the last 5 minutes of the episode before it] **3x15: Higher Power - Not that big plot wise but always assume if a plot description/case has suicide in it that it’ll have good JJ content. ***3x18: In Heat - JJ and Will stuff. You need it to know who JJ is.  *3x20: Lo-Fi - it’s a finale so it goes on the list.

SEASON 4

*4x01: Mayhem - again it’s a premiere so it goes on the list *4x03: Minimal Loss - not JJ related but a good CM classic, guest starring Luke Perry and a great Prentiss episode - JJ goes on Maternity leave / AJ goes on Maternity leave mid season 4 so there’s a big gap in JJ content But she has her baby i 4x11 if you want to see it. She returns in 4x14 *4x17: Demonology - no JJ but a huge backstory ep for Emily. Really pretty, really good. I highly recommend.  **4x23: Amplification: Not hugely plot important but a good JJ episode. Deals with her getting used to being both a mother and an agent.  *4x24-4x25: To Hell / And Back - Very disturbing season finale. Not JJ focused but a CM classic.

In depth fandom ask: the last fandom you joined bc I can't remember it now

Well, I guess the last fandom I’ve properly joined --making a few edits, starting yet-another-WIP etc.-- is Black Sails, so. Plus I want to talk about it a little, spoiler-free, in case you decide to watch it ^-^ (I’ll leave that to the s3 post I need to finish...).

Top 5 favourite characters: Max is my number one, without a doubt, and of the rest of my faves Silver has an edge... but the remaining positions are a tough fight between Flint, Jack, Madi and Miranda, and I honestly can’t choose DD:

Other characters you like: Mr. Scott, Anne, Idelle, the Maroon Queen, Billy, Eme, Abigail... This show has a lot of great characters tbh.

Least favourite characters: I still loathe Peter Ashe with every fiber of my being. Alfred Hamilton is obviously The Worst(TM). And though it hasn’t grown into hate (yet), I don’t like Woodes Rogers one bit ¬¬

Otps: Flint/Miranda, and the combos in Flint/Madi/Silver and Anne/Jack/Max (in no particular order at the moment because I just HAVE TONS OF FEELS ABOUT THEM ALL).

Notps: I don’t have strong NOPE feelings towards anything, but I’m not into Eleanor/Max (which is a dynamic I actually really like BUT that I’m glad it doesn’t return to shippiness LOL); Eleanor/Rogers (I might be indifferent towards Eleanor most of the time but I haaaaaate Rogers for her. RUN GIRL), Flint/Vane (booooooooring).

Favourite friendships: Max & Silver (THE duo I swear), Jack & Max, Flint & Silver, Idelle & Max (I might not have said so before but I guess I like a little conflict LMFAO), Billy & Flint (NOT a friendship, but their relationship absolutely cracks me up I swear. “Who’s Billy?” XDDD).

Favourite family: Madi’s family, which is all I can say without getting spoilery. I just. *lies down on the floor overcome with emotions* xDD

Favourite episodes: the problem with binge-watching (okay, I’ve taken s3 more slowly but) is that they all kinda blur together LOL. Hmm. The season finales are all *chefs kiss* so far (sometimes in a very painful way... I’m looking at you s2. Though the ominous Flint/Silver moments in the s3 were A LOT too); any in which I get to see Max & Silver scheming together ofc. And the first handful of eps in s3 were particularly enjoyable to me because I was drowning in PURE ANGST and Flint & Silver feels xDD (I can’t NOT believe the fandom seems to call one of those “the shark date” asñldfjasdfñl).

Favourite season/book/movie: oof. I honestly can’t pick; s1 is probably the “least” because the others include better moments for some of my secondary faves, and because there’s a plot that’s really hard to watch... BUT it has things on it I adore to pieces too. s1-2 doesn’t have Madi (major drawback xD), and s3 is after one of my faves’ death... but frankly they’re all neck and neck so far.

Favourite quotes: “I am ruined over you” always comes to mind DD: “Liked is just as good as feared”; Max combo with Eleanor about sand (typing that down made me think of Anidala LMFAO. The scene itself is very different though! xD) in the s1 finale; “in another time, in another place, they would call me a queen”; “this ends when I grant them my forgiveness, not the other way around”, Mr. Scott’s “No. Only YOU.”... honestly, this show’s dialogue is just too good(TM), I could just quote it all back xD. And of course, I HAVE to mention “WHO’S BILLY”. It’s the law.

Best musical moment: the score is perfection all around, but given that I never skip the intro just to listen and watch it... yeah, the intro xD

Moment that made you fangirl/boy the hardest: well, I *might* have lost it the moment CAPTAIN FLINT COMES OUT TO LONG JOHN SILVER OVER A BONFIRE, IDK XDD

When it really disappointed you: the fact that I won’t get to see a fully fleshed out Mr. Scott-Silver dynamic is MAJORLY disappointing, let me tell you. That Flint’s actor didn’t somehow get his mother (aka Maggie Smith aka Professor McGonagall aka Lady Violet) on the show too ¬¬. LOL.

Saddest moment: character’s deaths of two of the characters listed on “top 5”/“others you like” xD.

Most well done character death: the hanging in 3x09 was well done and served its purpose.

Favourite guest star: for a value of “guest star”... I’m going with Idelle.

Favourite cast member: Jessica Parker Kennedy is the one that I know and love for other projects she’s done.

Character you wish was still alive: THE ONE WE TRAGICALLY LOST IN 2x09.

One thing you hope really happens: I’m cheating because I know there’s some of that in s4, but I want to watch more Flint/Madi interactions pls.

Most shocking twist: well, I wasn’t spoiled for Mr. Scott’s plot in s3 so I was (pleasantly) surprised by that xD

When did you start watching/reading?: a little over two weeks ago; I watched (devoured) s1-s2 and 3x01-3x04 in a few days because I wanted to meet Madi, and then I tragically had to slow down :(((

Best animal/creature: I will always love Treasure Islands’  parrot that Silver named after Flint LMFAO.

Favourite location: Nassau aka Max’s ~domain xD. And Miranda’s house.

Trope you wish they would stop using: noooooone. I love the tropes this show reuses LMFAO. Romantic Betrayals(TM), triumvirates, “good things happen in the dark/away from civilization”, the power of narratives, social climbing and revolt... bring them oooooon.

One thing this show/book/film does better than others: quite a few xD. But one that really stands out to me is the dialogue; both the ~deep and sorrowful type (there were so many quotes where I had to take a break to freak out properly lol), and the humorous ones.

Funniest moments: I know I’m repeating myself, but I recently rewatched the pilot to edit some scenes and I keep remember the WHO’S BILLY one xDD (which I maintain it was Flint trolling him. He could give Abigail a rundown of Billy’s whole life story AND he shamelessly checked him out that one time. Flint knows who Billy is, he’s just an asshole xD). Really, all the scenes between Billy and Flint in that episode are comedic gold lmfao. Billy’s “oh dear I fucked up” expression when he tells Flint the crew has started to think him weak and Flint looks half a second away from murdering him right there, his WTF face at Flint’s antics with the stolen page... Gold, seriously.

Couple you would like to see: I meannnnnn. I would’ve been very happy if the show had decided to go with Flint/Madi/Silver, for one. Bonus if Miranda could’ve been included. Or just explicit Flint/Silver in poly arrangements (THEY ARE IN LOVE, IT’S JUST ~COMPLICATED XD).

Actor/Actress you want to join the cast: MAGGIE SMITH DAMMIT.

Favourite outfit: literally everything Max wears in s3. Eleanor’s s1-s2 outfits were things I’d love to wear too. Flint’s ~dramatic coat. Miranda’s collection of supposedly-puritan-but-showing-the-goods dresses xDD (and ofc her London clothes), Jack’s clothes (he’s Nassau’s fashion icon lbr).

Favourite item: the books!! Especially when Flint gave Miranda “La Galatea” as a gift (given that sometimes he reminds me of my OC Latoya, you might understand the freakout I had when he gave the other member of my OTP a book titled like that xDD).

Do you own anything related to this show/book/film?: no, but I kinda want to. I did have a Treasure Planet computer game I tragically can’t find... it was about collecting money in increasingly difficult scenarios LOL. And I probably have more pirate-y/Treasure Island theme stuff. I had a long pirate phase xD

What house/team/group/friendship group/family/race etc would you be in?: Max’s because I like being on the winning team, thanks xD (though I do ~align more with Flint and Madi’s lbr...).

Most boring plotline: Eleanor and Vane’s ~romance is not at all badly written... but the fact that I find both of them boring kinda ruins the whole thing because I always wish that time went to someone else xD. Also, Blackbeard. Meh.

Most laughably bad moment: n/a.

Best flashback/flashfoward if any: the London flashback where Miranda goes to Flint’s house unannounced to take him to an art gallery, she finds him half-naked and he gets all awkward about it lmao. And then they hook up in the carriage :DDD

Most layered character: we get to explore Flint and Silver the most. Silver’s development in particular is something that never ceases to impress me ngl.

Most one dimensional character: except the one-note characters I wouldn’t really call anyone completely one-dimensional, tbh. Though I do think the fandom attributes more complexity to Thomas than it’s seen in canon? Like, I like what I see; I think he’s functional, he works well, and he adds wonderfully to Flint’s (and Miranda’s) story, but I don’t see him as a full character in his own right. Which is perfectly fine for the narrative so far, but I fear it might fall apart for me at the very end.

Scariest moment: I never know what to say in this... I mean, I guess Flint killing a man with his bare hands in the pilot Like That was scary xD. I understand why Silver freaked out LOL.

Grossest moment: any of Max’s interactions with Vane tbh. Stay away from her ¬¬

Best looking male: Flint has that ruggedly handsome thing going on for him, if you’re into that (and sometimes I do appreciate his ~aesthetics... very sad he shaved his head in s3 though. Like, I get you did it for the Angst, honey, and trust me, I Feel U, but still). I feel like I might be forgetting someone, but seriously, none of the dudes in this show so far do anything for me LOL. I can honestly say I love them for their personalities xDD

Best looking female: I have a weakness for Max, but Miranda, Madi, Anne, the Maroon Queen, Idelle, Eme... all of them are gorgeous in their own way. This show is good for sapphic women’s enjoyment in that sense xDD.

Who you’re crushing on (if any): I could crush on any of the women mentioned above tbh.

Favourite cast moment: I have literally only seen this post about an interview where Flint’s actor says he’s too old to party with The Youth of the cast and just wants to chill on the weekend... with bonus Max and Eleanor’s actress talking about how Vane’s once climbed the side of a building up AND back down. I’m with you, Toby Stephens, you don’t need those shenanigans xDD

Favourite transportation: the Walrus, for sentimental reasons LOL. I liked stolen Spanish warship too.

Most beautiful scene (scenery/shot wise): lots of good ones, though I think my fave might be the one of Miranda sitting by the window in London. Or the one of Charles Town burning down, I liked that :))) (I remember thinking “Flint better go full Daenerys on them”. And he did! It was nice xD).

Unanswered question/continuity issue/plot error that bugs you: n/a, so far.

Best promo: n/a.

At what point did you fall in love with this show/book: I liked it from the word go, but the moment that TRULY cemented it for me was in 1x03, with Max making a decision that I... frankly didn’t expect. It made things worse for her in the short-term, the storyline itself was difficult and disturbing to watch and I still have some mixed feelings about it. But what it said about her as a character and how her journey goes after that... I was in awe of her, and of the show.

[sanoiro]

I was watching 3x09-10 today with my husband (he's trying to catch up and watch the finale when it airs 😊) and he has this theory (sorry if it was discussed before, I couldn't find it). What if Pierce (the first murderer) really is trying to make Lucifer kill a human (as you said on a post the other day) and turn him into the first angel murderer. Maybe he knows something we don't about the repercussions of that? Idk... Just a thought.

First of all, I love your husband! 

Now, this might be a long post I have no idea yet but I read you Ask when I was just about to go to bed and something just stuck with me although I forced myself to sleep instead of replying you. Good thing I did because now I’m feeling like I can analyse anything you tell me to. 

Okay, so long ago I had posted Lucifer’s line from S2 where he said that judgment day is only a couple of years away. 

So I always thought what if Lucifer and Chloe had something to do with it? If we think about it Mum almost caused the end of the word. Last night I also wrote a post where I was thinking that perhaps the 3x16 line on the jock the princess and the nerd corresponded to Dan, Charlotte and Ella because as far as I see it, everyone will have an important task in their hands and some may even fall because of that. I’m mentioning the above because I made a weird connection last night… Can Lucifer by killing a human start an apocalypse? I’m not sure and I doubt we will get there but there is something that I overlooked as it didn’t make much sense at the beginning. The Z prophesy said that the magma of the Earth is blocked and if the magma was not released soon we would have a big magma apocalypse. 

This may sound a bit overstretched but… What is holding Lucifer’s Devil face back or worse his eyes? Why do they glow amber and only two times this season? Was the dagger the only way to let out his light-bringing power? I always believed that his red glowing eyes since S1 were a sign of that power within him. As you may have guessed I’’m wondering on whether Marcus is trying to manipulate something inside of Lucifer. His purpose might have never been to die… Perhaps a revenge then towards God’s favourite son? 

I still don’t buy the favourite was Amenadiel and I presume that Marcus knows that. I have mentioned the following question before that the metal book in S2 was written by whom exactly?  It was written in Sumerian according to Amenadiel and remember what Lucifer said in 3x16 regarding Abel? 

Lucifer: Whilst this is all very illuminating, Maze, how do we find Abel? Keep an ear out for someone babbling in Sumerian? - Lucifer 3x16Lucifer: So whatever language this is- Amenadiel: It’s Sumerian. Unlike some of us who had everything handed to him, I actually spent my youth studying. - Lucifer 2x17

Again who wrote the book that dates back to Abel’s murder according to the timeline Lucifer gives us? Or better yet who was still alive to write it? Cain. At least that’s what I see here. 

If all the above are true what does that tell us about Marcus so far?

- He knows more about divinity and mystical objects than Lucifer, Amenadiel and even Mum. -He knew about the medallion of life and perhaps he has possed himself with it in order to acquire that knowledge as the page of the medallion was at the left side of the book and the flaming sword at the right side. -He knows about Lucifer’s light-brining power. -He knows who the favourite son is… 

But let’s go a bit further. 

Marcus in 3x12 - All About Her, told Lucifer that when he found out that a human had made the Devil bleed so he had to check and that he had high hopes because that would help him find a way to die. I believe that all, meaning wanting to die that is not true. Or at least not entirely true. (Half truths Lucifer 1x04 - I don’t lie but I don’t say the whole truth either.)

Marcus knows that Lucifer bled early on as that was the scene the production went within the flashbacks shown in 3x12. Not 1x13, not 2x13 but 1x04! Meaning that he could have been in Los Angeles immediately when that happened but he didn’t. 

So we get to S2 where Azrael’s blade comes to L.A. and even if Marcus never found out about Uriel (doubtful) he knew about the blade by the episode 2x08 - Trip To Stubby Town. If he wrote the book or was around for millennia he knows that the blade can not only kill him but also vanish his soul once and for all. 

Marcus claimed he experienced no guilt for what he had done so he wouldn’t go to Hell but that would leave only Heaven as an option. Thinking about it, an internal life in Heaven is it really a good thing for him after so many millennia? Wouldn’t be wise to just kill yourself with the blade and be over with it? 

Let’s not forget that Dad probably has a saying even in the afterlife so why would Cain ever subject himself to go to the same place where his torturer is? It doesn’t make any sense… But how about taking revenge on the favourite son of Dad? That is a high possibility but why now? Because Lucifer has something to lose and can suffer. Additionally, his light-bringing powers might be something that can be used against God? Who knows…Okay, so around 2x13 if Marcus knows about it, the Devil dies for a human… Did the hospital had any footage? No idea some do but they require a special order to be turned on. 

Now see this… in a very weird way, Earl Johnson in 2x16 was committed for giving away all his money and because he had been delusional a few months ago (02/03/2017) by his wife…

If you go back a few episodes you will realise that this happened around the time Azrael’s blade was on the move (2x06-2x08) or when Chloe was poisoned (2x11-2x13). So was Earl Johnson planted somehow? I mean why would a guy from Odessa, Texas end up being committed at a ward in California? I may be going a bit too far but what if Marcus was manipulating things since S2 and wanted Lucifer to start a new war against his Dad along with Mum?

Now in 2x18 Mum is gone, the blade is gone but in less than 2-3 hours later Marcus has someone Devilnap Lucifer. Miraculously Lucifer ends up with wings so that makes me wonder if the light-bringing power can be harvested somehow and reused… 

Too far? Okay, think of this. Marcus had 2 seasons to act and he does it when A) Mum is gone, B) the blade is gone, C) Amenadiel’s powers may be returning but not really, D) Maze is out of Lucifer’s house and E) Marcus has proof that Lucifer can summon the light-bringing power. 

All the above get us to S3. 

How did Marcus or the Sinnerman brainwash that guy in 3x02 into thinking he had killed Lucifer’s kidnapper because of his girlfriend? Why do we always forget that? Sometimes I wonder if the original Heart Break Killer was manipulated by the 1950s Marcus… 

Moving forward we get to 3x04  - What Would Lucifer Do?, where Marcus is shot but was he really trying to test his mortality around Chloe? That was a bit too rushed and it doesn’t make much sense… It seems almost as if Marcus wanted some time off to set up a new game… 

3x05 - Charlotte comes back and perhaps Marcus steps away as he wants to see the lasting effects of Mum and how a Hell damned soul is reacting back to her earth body… I do wonder if Charlotte acted as a live experiment for him in a way. 

3x06 and 3x07 are the standalones but Lucifer and Chloe are coming closer something that perhaps does not fit Marcus plan whatever that is. He needs Lucifer in pain. Like Linda said in S2, Lucifer had to feel his pain and indeed in that way, he ignited the blade so… - I believe this has been mentioned before at least once on a basic level? - 

3x08 - Marcus returns and all of sudden in 3x09 The Sinnerman starts to slaughter Lucifer’s old favour recipients. The mafia boy was a recent deal but the woman with the hair products was a few years old deal/favour. I remind you that only Marcus has the archived files on the celestials. 

In 3x10 we get several enigmatic clues and the first arc finishes with Marcus shooting Sinnerman. Now the weirdest part for me was that Sinnerman had kept their photo together photo in a pristine condition with him… Why? It will be answered for sure but… Sometimes I wondered if Marcus could have children for some purpose or if there is something more in there…

The next episodes 3x11 aside, seem like a big joke something like getting the Devil a colour book and let him have some fun. They do hold a deeper meaning but what interests me more is 3x16 for one more reason. Marcus knows that his brother by returning to Hell will fall again into the punishment loop. 

What had me thinking was why didn’t Marcus ask from Lucifer to bring back his brother after Abel was run over? How cruel can you be to let your brother, who you claim to care about at the end of the episode, return to Hell? If that’s not sadistic I don’t know what is. 

Everything I have written so far, of course, do not answer your question if we do not take them as one unit with unseen yet existing connections. 

Marcus is using Lucifer. Chloe has a gift there is no question about it but as Sinnerman said, it has to be you aka Lucifer. We might not know the motivation and the real reason behind Marcus’ actions so far and we might find it out only when the scene is aired but what we should remember is that no matter how precious is Chloe, Lucifer is the object of interest here… 

Which makes me think this. Lucifer is supposed to punish the guilty so was Cain’s mark under Lucifer’s influence? Just a random idea here though…

So your husband is partly right in my opinion. Marcus is forcing people to spin around themselves and do things they would never do… Killing a human as you remember is an Angel 101, no-no. Also, do remember Gaudium… taking a pleasure out of the idea of the committed sin and by reliving that sin and not the sin itself…

I know that this post has been a bit all over the place and I apologise for that. It’s just you gave me an opportunity to go back to S1 and rethink certain coincidences or what we assumed they were at the time. Thank you both!

8 Nights of Danvers Chanukah -- Night 2

Last Year | Night 1 

Kara has trouble celebrating the holiday after 3x04 with the whole cult thing.

I reference Kenny in this chapter, and nope. He didn’t die. Because nope.

When she’d gotten to Earth, she understood so much more about the planet than any human did.

She’d understood the things they thought were science, and she understood the things they thought were mathematics.

She understood them, and she understood what was wrong with them, because she understood so far beyond them.

But then there was Kenny.

Then there was Kenny, and his full-throated love of what his little telescope could show him of the universe.

And there was Alex, needing help with calculus from him because she was too scared and embarrassed to ask Kara; because asking Kara would violate their agreement that Kara pretend not to be as advanced at Earth science and math, for fear of giving herself away. Giving herself up.

There were Alex’s late-night speculations with Kenny about what else was out there, who else. Other than what they’d both heard from Kara, of course.

And she would listen, and through their friendship, she would realize; maybe Earth was impressive.

Sure, maybe their physics was child’s play and their mathematics almost laughable.

But they had so much else to offer.

She learned that, from Kenny’s stories and Alex’s passion.

So when they started teaching her about Earth religions, Kara listened. 

She listened, and she was fascinated. Because she missed having people who understood the power of Rao, who understood the feeling the prayers of her people had given her.

But she watched Eliza’s eyes flutter closed and she watched the conflict in Alex’s eyes, lighting the Chanukah candles for the first time the year after Jeremiah was apparently killed.

And she thought that maybe, this was something she could feel connected to.

Because on Krypton, religion and science didn’t have to be separate. And here, under the Danvers’ roof, maybe they didn’t have to be separate, either.

Maybe she didn’t have to be separate.

But this year? 

This year, all those years later?

This year, Kara Danvers feels separate from... well, from everyone.

It wasn’t just invasion after invasion after genocide attempt after genocide attempt.

It wasn’t just losing everything all over again last year -- was it only last year? -- through the Black Mercy. Through Astra. 

It wasn’t just all that.

It was also that damned cult.

That damned perversion of her faith.

She talks a bit about it, to Winn’s friend Rabiah. About Islamophobia and about empty justifications and about rage.

She talks a bit about it, to Felicity. About occupations and about empty justifications and about rage.

But talking about it doesn’t make her feel any better.

Because at least they have other people, who understand their faith, who believe what they believe.

She only has Clark. Who vaguely knows what she believes, from basically... text books. Well, if the automated information-sharing systems at the Fortress of Solitude can be called text books.

Regardless. Clark was a baby when he left. 

She... wasn’t.

She... remembers.

And she can’t hear words in her home language, now, without hearing them corrupted by the lips of people who didn’t care how many people died for them to feel pious. 

She can’t hear those prayers, now, without feeling... ill.

Because of that damned cult that fashioned her into a god.

That fashioned her into something she has never been worthy of. Something she has never wanted, has never deserved.

Something that truly and utterly shattered the essence of what she’d grown up with.

Something that perverted and corrupted it and made it into something poisonous.

So this year?

This year, Chanukah doesn’t remind Kara of Rao, of survival, of finding new family, of forging a new life against all odds.

This year, Chanukah just reminds her of all she’s lost, of all that’s been destroyed.

The year Jeremiah had first disappeared, Alex had nearly refused to celebrate the holiday. Alex had yelled and she had thrown things and she had stamped and stormed and surfed for hours and hours and hours and only conceded to be in the same room while Eliza lit the candles because maybe, somehow, it was a form of honoring Jeremiah.

This year, Kara feels like acting exactly as Alex had then.

Except this year, she doesn’t have the excuse of being a teenager in excruciating pain.

So she tries to tell Alex she’s tired and she tries to tell Lena not to worry about it.

She knows it won’t work, because there are eight damn nights, and can she really pull of the too tired act for all of them?

She wishes, not for the first time, that she could actually get the flu or something.

She wishes, but in vain.

So she’s not entirely surprised when Alex shows up at her door.

“You know I can just kick it down?” Alex calls softly when Kara doesn’t answer.

“You have a key, Alex,” Kara calls back wearily, her befuddlement at her sister’s antics temporarily outweighing her need for silence.

“I know,” Alex shrugs as she unlocks the door and steps inside. “But kicking it in would’ve been much more fun. And it got you to smile.” 

She crosses the room in a few quick strides and hesitates for a moment -- for permission, which Kara grants wearily, and more willingly than she would have expected of herself -- before collapsing onto the couch next to Kara and wrapping her in her arms.

“The whole religion thing leaving a bad taste in your mouth this year, huh?” she asks after a long, long hug.

Kara shrugs and wriggles slightly out of Alex’s arms, keeping contact between their bodies but pulling back so she can look at her face.

“He almost killed thousands of people in that stadium. In my name, Alex.”

“And you stopped him.”

“With help from you.”

“Yeah, well. That’s what sisters are for.”

“Thousands of people, Alex.”

“You saved them.”

“I don’t want to be a savior!”

Kara is standing, now, and Alex stays sitting, stays quiet. 

She tilts her head, and Kara smiles wetly.

“You look like your fiancee when you do that.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Kara’s smile broadens weakly before fading.

“I don’t want to be a savior,” she repeats, her voice broken, defeated. Too tired to be angry.

“You don’t have to be. Saviors and heroes aren’t the same thing.”

“Tell that to the stadium of people he almost blew up. Tell that to that boy who almost -- “

“Almost, Kar. Almost. They’re fine. They’re all fine.”

Kara lets Alex hold her eyes, steady and calming, for a long moment before she heaves a sigh and collapses back down onto the couch. Back down into her sister’s arms.

“It’s lonely.”

“I know it is. I know, and I’m so sorry, sis.”

Another long silence, punctuated only by Alex stroking Kara’s hair, kissing her forehead.

“You know,” Alex ventures softly after a long moment, “J’onn knows your language. Your traditions. Clark told me once... they were at the Fortress of Solitude together, and he said that J’onn told him that if they don’t keep the memories of each other’s people alive, who would?”

Kara sniffles and backs up so she can look Alex in the eyes. “You do. And Winn does. You both try to understand my language, and Maggie and Lena and James have been doing all this research since the cult thing about Rao and stuff. To make me feel less alone.”

Alex smiles and nods and brushes a stray strand of hair from Kara’s face. 

“I know it’s not the same. But it’s...”

“Family,” Kara finishes, and nods, more to herself than to Alex.

“Can we have the first night,” she continues, hesitant. “Can we light the menorah alone together? We can have everyone over for any of the other days, but... can we do tonight together, alone? I... I know you probably don’t want to be without Maggie, and you can totally -- “

“Hey, hey, Kara, no. Don’t do that. Yes, it can be a Chanukah-themed Sister’s Night. Okay? Just you and me. And if you’re up for it through the rest of the week, we can have more people. Okay? But it’s all up to you. It’s okay.”

“You won’t feel... incomplete?”

“With you, Kara? I never could.”

“Can I heat-vision the candles?”

“You know Mom hates when you do that.”

“Eliza’s not here.”

“Oh Rao.”

And the smile that tugs at Kara’s lips, then, is joy, is hope, is light in a wash of darkness, because maybe they can celebrate life after all.

Together.
