I'm not enjoying either the Reign storyline on Supergirl or the Sinnerman on Lucifer. The love triangles aren't that interesting either. I thought that after the DC Crossover that Reign would finally arrive on Supergirl, but they went back to Sam and Ruby again, plus reinforced Sam's friendship with Lena and Kara at the Christmas party. Is that supposed to make it more heartbreaking that she's becoming Reign against her will? But they spent no time explaining Reign's origins and destiny until this measly prophecy from the cult leader. And even then we don't understand what Reign's motivation is. She attacks gang members and Morgan Edge, but is that Sam's feelings coming through, or is Reign programmed to attack bad guys? If she's supposed to be some Justice figure or Nemesis, please clarify instead of throwing around Devil analogies. If she's supposed to be avenging Krypton's destruction, they why target Earth rather than other surviving Kryptonians like Kara? As for the love triangle, we finally got an explanation about the underwater ship being there for 12,000 years, but it was underwhelming, and I still hate that the writers are still relying on love triangles for plot devices.
As for Lucifer, the whole Sinnerman thing has been a complete bore, worse than the season 1 mystery about Chloe's botched case. They haven't given any answers about Lucifer's wings or addressed whether Amendiel will get his powers back. I'm really hating Lieutenant Pierce, and the writers have clumsily tried to imply sexual tension in the most anvilly way. I was so disappointed about the love triangle with Maze, Amenadiel, and Linda. Wish they'd stop this nonsense and have fun again.
