Jamal Jamal Jamal! I just loathe this fool! The continued saga of "Sissies Can Be Bad Ass Too", Lee Daniels makes Jamal look like an idiot. Hakeem warned Jamal that the brothers would be turned against one another, and Jamal assured him he was wrong. Point for Hakeem! Then, to show us how hard Jamal is, he faces off with a guy with a gun. How I wish that thug would have given Jamal a 3rd eye. Why would Hakeem send his thug friends in to do that to Jamal with NO DISGUISE? Another point for Hakeem! I'd rather Daniels just write a damn biography as opposed to righting the wrongs of his upbringing on my screen! It gets a bit messy.

Cookie juggling those phone calls was amazing. TP had me in stitches, "youz a freak, but that's a good thing...We can sell it". Lawd!

Not sure who that young woman is who plays Tiana, but that chick can dance! I find myself rewinding all of her scenes when she's dancing. She's not a poser. That chick looks like a pro! Gonna look her up.

Portia is about the most graceless cow I've seen on TV in quite some time, but I uber love her ass! She rocks!

Anika, there's certainly no investment in this character. Look at the parents they gave her? Unless they recast her parents, Anika will slowly fade to the background and then disappear.

Can't wait for Andre to go bat sh!t. So here for that. Gonna go get some popcorn.

Lucious wub.pngwub.pngwub.png What's left to be said? This is one bad mofo, and I absolutely adore him. He has my whole heart wub.pngwub.pngwub.png There's just no pinpointing one or 2 wonderful things he did. He's just marvelous!


Holy GUACAMOLE!

Andre quickly earned his scheming crown in this episode. He didn't want anyone to get hurt, but he was willing to take a risk for his own benefit.

I had to laugh at Hakeem's crew being all amazed by the power of green screens, which is not really all that impressive in this era.

If Cookie hadn't realized that she made a mistake about the rose, I think her and Lucious might have got it on. I can't wait until next week when Cookie's calls out Lucious for sending her a rose after giving Anika a ring.

Sooner or later the rise will drop or level out. That's a fact of life. My concern is Season 2 sticking the landing.

And Chit, I'm sorry but you are on your own wacky trip! Jamal did nothing wrong last night. He got work done and stood up to those thugs like a man, and he displayed the same dark temperament as his father with poor Hakeem. You're just sweating that Lucious's obvious heir is the one he can't control. And he knows it, too!

ITA. As much as I love the ever increasing ratings, I don't want them to be a bubble that bursts. I really want this show to find its level and provide consistently high numbers. I'm a little worried about a sophomore slump but I'm still hurting from the Sleepy Hollow flameout. SH fell apart when it got new writers and a new showrunner so as long as Daniels and Strong both keep a firm hand on the writing, I won't get too squirrely.

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.
