Wow, nice job. And I'm really glad Rachael got to have her hand in it. Well Done.

Yeah, I can see that. I had no clue those are who you were using until I saw the credits, but they work well.

And what a line :) Although, I do think that Sir Ian is a little old now to fit the description of Lucifer, but I can see a younger version doing it (at least physically - given Lucifer's "age" the current personality could certainly carry over).

Neither of us liked what we saw.
