So disappointed there. The last season was not all that great with a Devdas-esque Lucifer. But the season finale deserves an extension.

I loved that sassy Lucifer. It already faced the backlash of certain religious faction and now it's taken off. Why???

Isn't that three seasons too late? I read about the backlash. Come to think of it, Tom Ellis's father and sister are both baptist ministers.

Aditya Iyenger's books like ''A Broken Sun" and "The Thirteenth Day"are good. You will certainly enjoy reading these.

Speaking of Mythological fiction, has anyone read Ravana The Great: King of Lanka
by M.S.Purnalingam Pillai. The story from the other side come to light, and the logic is striking. Sometimes one wonders whether all the tomes we read of our victories arent just manifestations of the old adage...History is written by the victors.

My favourite in Mythology fiction is 'Asura' on Ramayana and 'Ajaya' Series on Mahabharata - both by Anand Neelakantan. These were the books that inspired me to read Mytho Fiction.

I really dislike Neelkantan. He justifies the atrocities of all his villainy protagonist just to make sure his pitch gets out somehow. He is a good with presenting his thoughts on paper but he isn't cohesive at all. And more often than not he justifies the villainy. I really hated Ajaya as he justified Draupadi's molestation.

His books are on the concept of 'There are two sides to a coin'. I dont feel that he's justifying Draupadi's molestation - He's just saying that things got out of hand in the heat of the moment; He had a past grudge against her and took revenge when he got an opportunity - In the book the charecter seems to later resent doing that. By the way, why blame only him for the incident? What were the elders or even the husbands doing, watching the whole thing, instead of stopping it??? Every charecter in the Mahabharata is responsible for the war that eventually broke out.
