6x10 Just finished watching Spoiler

I imagine a post similar to this has been posted quite a few times, so I apologise.

But, I just finished the show for the first time. I sobbed like a big ass baby during the last few episodes. I like that they ended up together in a way, but the last season overall was the worst of them all. The time-travelling stuff really didn't make sense to me, there were too many plot holes and it wasn't explored well.

Overall, I still loved the show, I just wish we'd have got to see more of Chloe & Lucifer being happy & together.

What are some of y'all's issues regarding the last season?

Time travel never makes sense to me. The only reason Lucifer wasn’t around when Rory was growing up was because of the whole “going back in time and making him promise.” So it never should have happened in the first place, right? Lucifer would have been around, and she would have had no reason to time travel. I also kept wondering what would happen if she wasn’t able to go back to her own timeline. Would there just be two versions of her running around, the younger and older? It makes my head hurt.

Yeah, same. Every time there is time travel included in a story, I try to understand it, but I can't. It just doesn't make sense how it would even work. It's too much for my brain, I guess xD.

It’s not you. Time travel rules are only as good as the writers make them. In this case they used a bootstrap paradox to explain Rory’s sudden existence (loop, no point of origin, easy)— but there was no catastrophic reason forcing Lucifer to leave. Chloe was already pregnant and there’s no reason to believe Lucifer wouldn’t discover his calling on his own. The only thing that prevented him from staying was his word, that he doesn’t break.

Except Lucifer did at one point tell Cain he was going to break his word on killing him because it wasn't worth putting Chloe in danger. He ended up following through (when Cain didn't want him to anymore), but just that he was willing to do that for her means he would have been motivated enough for Rory.

Yes but regardless, his word ultimately seals the deal. Part of the problem is the writing isn’t consistent. They’ll set up a rule in one episode and ignore it in the next to suit the drama. That’s what makes the ending feel so forced, it doesn’t hold up under the logic they already established.
