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.

      Doctor Who

      They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.

      ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.

      Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.

      I also never understood Alex's friendship with Sonni or keeping the secret of Marah's paternity.  Not exactly heartbroken about Ms. Sally being ushered to the Hereafter.

        I'm sorry but I'm a glutton for punishment. Would love to see this woman OWNING the canvas. Telling off Leslie who tells her she's the head b!tch.

      And in case anyone is confused; Rusty was hired by HB to work undercover and infiltrate some gang sabotaging Lewis.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By kalbir · Posted

      40 years ago this month, the best and most pivotal television season of the 1980s came to an end. Here’s how the rookie breakout and the four soaps wrapped up the season. The Cosby Show – Cliff’s Birthday (season 1 finale, May 9): Clair and the children surprise Cliff by planning a birthday celebration around a Lena Horne concert. Dallas – Deliverance (May 10): Bobby seeks evidence to free Jenna. The Ewings go confidently to court. Mitch asks Lucy to move in. J.R. wants Sue Ellen hospitalized. Dynasty - The Heiress (May 8): Krystle learns Daniel is dead. King Galen courts Alexis. Amanda sees Michael with Elena. Sammy Jo learns Krystle will handle her money and is furious about the decision. Knots Landing – One Day in a Row (May 9): Ben aids in Karen's search for Val's babies. Mack replies to the governor's offer. Ruth uses Abby to break up Laura and Greg. Falcon Crest – Cold Comfort (May 10): Fugitive Lance desperately searches for Lorraine, who lies comatose in a San Francisco hospital. Robin returns with startling news.   Dallas – Swan Song (season 8 finale, May 17): Jenna's release from jail depresses Pam. Sue Ellen thinks she saw Dusty. Donna tells Ray about her pregnancy. Cliff consults an attorney about an annulment. Lucy and Mitch remarry. Sudden tragedy strikes Bobby. Dynasty – Royal Wedding (season 5 finale, May 15): Sammy Jo makes her roommate look like Krystle. Elena reassures Amanda about her upcoming marriage. Terrorists come for the royal wedding of Prince Michael and Amanda. Falcon Crest – Confessions (May 17): Melissa confesses to framing Lance. Pamela gives Maggie proof that Richard bribed Judge Holder. Connie reveals her love for Chase. Knots Landing – Vulnerable (May 16): Ruth wants Abby to break up Greg and Laura. Karen makes a breakthrough in her hunt for Val's babies. Joshua hampers Val's recovery. Knots Landing – The Long and Winding Road (season 6 finale, May 23): Abby fears being linked to the disappearance of Val's babies. Laura leaves Greg. The Fishers are determined to keep Val's babies. Falcon Crest – The Avenging Angel (season 4 finale, May 24): Lorraine dies. Angela throws a victory party. Cassandra's mother arrives. An explosion rips through Richard's house. 1984/85 was the season the primetime soaps pulled out all the stops to out-do each other and everything culminated in the spring. May 1985 was the zenith of primetime soaps as a genre.
