Supernatural ends an almost half-season run of strong episodes with one that didn’t quite hit the high note.
The major one is the theme Lucifer harps on about obsession.
Lucifers identity poses an issue for him, so he embraces being Vince Vincente.
We see the utmost extreme of that obsession with the groupie Roseleen.
Lucifer quickly bores of the obsessed types and decides to fill a mystery venue with new blood.
Its all about gaining followers.
He plays upon the human need to put something above themselves, hopeless distraction addicts that they are.
I guess that explains why Lucys back raising heck but it didnt feel like enough.
To throw all that Judeo-Christian baggage aside, Lucifer embraces being something new.
Thats about where the character development ends.

There are some lighthearted moments that interject some fun into the mix.
So why didnt I think this episode was awesome?
I didnt like the lack of direction with Lucifers motives.
I hope that changes soon, perhaps revealed during the mid-season finale.
Maybe thats just the soulless design of LA.
Thanks a lot, Crowley.
Im also upset that we didnt get more Vince Vincente.
Maybe Rick Springfield had a short window in which to film his scenes.
If thats the case, I salute his Lucifer portrayal as fantastic and wish we had some more.
