Lucifer

Really Sad Devil Guy - S5-E1

Character mistake: Chloe, Maze, and Ellen are discussing a murder and the death of Vernon Gill who was killed when hit by a car after he was fleeing pursuit from Chloe and Maze. They were discussing Dirty Doug who came in last night and Maze says "he came in last night and Gill said he threatened him for taking credit for Lee's murder." How could Gill say anything when he was already dead from being hit by a car. Should be "he said Gill threatened him" not Gill said since Gill's dead, in hell. (00:30:55 - 00:32:00)

Lucifer! Lucifer! Lucifer! - S5-E2

Character mistake: Chloe and Lucifer are sitting in Chloe's police cruiser staking out a suspect's car, and they get into a pursuit with the suspect in his Porsche. Chloe's police cruiser had no police lights or sirens blaring during the pursuit. Plus they are in a heavily populated metropolis; doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't have their lights on. It's standard police procedure to alert other drivers an emergency vehicle is on route, so they can yield/pull over and take care. (00:22:20 - 00:24:00)

The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3

Plot hole: During the credits, Chloe said of the victim "coroner puts her time of death between 1 and 3am", and she does indeed ask Ty's obsessive fan / ex-gf where has she been during that timeframe. When she looks at the security tape, the timecode starts rolling at 22:18 and goes on "for 3 hours." That does not account for the time of the murder at all, she has no alibi for the second half of the suspected timeframe! Not to mention, she said she saw Ty kiss the victim. When could she possibly have seen that? It's unlikely that before 10pm Ty was already drunk and getting randy with the girl, with the house full of guests. (00:25:00)

Pilot - S1-E1

Question: Lucifer is shot at by Jimmy Barnes 6 times but suffers no harm while Chloe is in the same room, but later episodes show he is not immortal when she is near. What's the deal?

Answer: As Cain theorises in a later episode, it's Chloe's love, not presence. This early on, Chloe had no strong feelings for Lucifer, so had no effect on his immortality. In fact even more recently he's back to being invulnerable around her after speculation that he chose to let himself be vulnerable. So while there's a degree of flexibility / retconning going on, it's all explained in-show.
