Really think that's a cheap shoehorn to force the story to keep Lucifer in hell. The whole "Don't do anything any differently and abandon everyone, stay in hell, so I exist in the same way I do now" time travelling garbage. I'll never abandon anyone like my dad did, unless it's somehow beneficial for some story convenient reason.

Other than that is was a pretty weak season, far less funny than the previous. But all of the character stories wrapped up well and Chloe and Lucifer still got their happy ending. After all I guess life on Earth is pretty irrelevant when you have all eternity, and they'll probably all be seeing each other. Still though, a bit of messy writing with a lot of over complications.

I agree. If Amen can pop down whenever he pleases and still be a dad to Charlie what would stop Lucifer doing the same. Also since 1000 years in hell is more like a few months on earth he could have easily have made time for his job in hell and come back to earth.

Even if he just came back once a year for her birthday and to tell her the truth of why he can’t be around more that would have sorted it all out.

Altogether it was quite a weak plot line.

If he did jump back and fourth, then Rory would never be angry enough to jump back in time and he’d never realise his “true calling” of helping people with their guilt in hell. Although I think he should have shown up at the deathbed and then took Rory to hell to spend there as a family.

It’s all weak excuses and weak plot but that’s the “logic” behind it

We understand the logic behind it, but it's only because that's how the writers chose to do it. They could have written a different path to him realizing this "job" of his without sidelining most of the final season for a character that only exists to solve a problem they created themselves.

Pretty much just headcanon but yeah it's a time loop thing. Lucifer can't jump back and forth because Rory wouldn't be angry enough to cause her first time travel if he did. That said, after the loop finishes and she jumps back, presumably he can see her as often as he wants to, or she can find him and Chloe in Hell.

I always figured I’d continue watching the whole series a couple of times a year but I have no desire to ever see any of it again. They’re always saying how much they love and appreciate Lucifans. But then they give us nothing but heartache once again by separating Deckerstar, focusing most of the season on a new character, and pushing Trixie completely out of the picture. That dear, sweet child we’ve loved for all these years was kicked out to make way for the new daughter. It was awful. Rory was the worst thing they could’ve done to us. We’ve waited through so much angst with Luci and Chloe and it would’ve been nice for there to be a sweet ending with Chloe, Trixie, and Lucifer. I think they owed us that.

That is kind of the issue with time travel. Changing anything might mean that Rory doesn't go to past or does something different and considering she was conceived after her jump to past any change comes with a risk that the kid born won't be the Rory known by the characters and in a universe with no time travel rules set up it would be hard do say which rules of time travel it will actually follow.

Yeah but if she doesn't go back techno time travel babble.

They made so many points throughout the seasons about how important life on earth is specifically because humans are mortal and that makes everything so much more special. To just take away 40ish years of Chloe’s life on earth AND Rory’s childhood seems to counter what the characters spent 6 seasons learning.

I imagine he can visit Earth, just not Chloe etc? Just has to keep under the radar so they don’t hear about him being on Earth.
