Webmaster Errol Posted February 19, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yup, her face was EVERYTHING. Andre's breakdown and the shower scene. So much said without uttering a single word. The episode itself was just non-stop from beginning to end, agree. I loved everything about it. Not a single scene was wasteful for me as a viewer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Andre's breakdown was EXCELLENT TV! I'm in awe!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted February 19, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted February 19, 2015 I know! I was like, "Wait, what? That can't be right." But it sadly is. Hopefully any new show that takes on the Empire model doesn't think it's all about showing dark skinned people on TV in prominent roles. I don't care if you're white, black, orange or blue, if the writing and the acting is there... I'm in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xtr Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Another great episode. I really enjoyed tonight's show. Especially the bonding moments between the Lyon's family. I enjoyed the scene where Lucious let Jamal know he cared about him and was there for him. I like how the whole family was caring towards Jamal's daughter. And also the scene with the reveal at the end and the close moment that Lucious shared with Hakeem and Jamal. I also enjoyed the Cookie and Lucious moments.

Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Exactly! But it is going to be hard for a show to top Empire at this point. After 6/7 episodes, they've already established a good, loyal audience. See this is what all the head writers on soaps need to be watching. This show! As someone stated, they don't have to use flashy stories to grab the audience. All we need are good, logical stories and characters to root for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 Damn, Lucious f--ked Cookie in Anika's bed. Im sorry but 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I'm really curious as to what they do with Elle. I like the angle she brings to the show, the variety that she represents for Empire. Also, I think she and Cookie have been a very interesting duo to watch. They must have her find out about Anika's dastardly deed so she and Cookie can knock her ass down. Not like Cookie needs her help...

Webmaster Errol Posted February 19, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted February 19, 2015 Let's just pray that those that are watching in that capacity don't watch and take the Dynasty-ish aspect of Empire to their computers, but the compelling characters aspect instead. Most importantly, you don't need to introduce new characters to bring in new viewers. The characters that have been integrated into the family drama have yet to take away from the core of the show and that's what I love most about it. Every core character has a purpose and a future. A right turn doesn't drive them into a ditch, but into a natural path to their destination before they take a left turn to the next stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 My only issue is them still not acknowledging Cookie having that man killed. But what an awesome hour of television! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted February 19, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted February 19, 2015 I don't want to think about that, but I believe it'll be addressed in some capacity by the season finale. Remember, the feds haven't been shown since that happened. It won't be ignored. They aren't *bleep*, *bleep* and *bleep* from their horrid stints writing *bleep* hospital, *bleep* life to live or *bleep* anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 All of this. But I doubt any of them are watching Empire, TBH. Watching Empire would force these writers to see the error of their ways and face the truth when it comes to diversity and devising character driven stories on their shows. They'd rather do the same ole, same ole than realize that their writing does not resonate or appeal the mass anymore. This show is just perfection. So perfect that I am scared the ball will drop. But I am keeping positive thoughts. They have me till the bitter end. Hell, they can do no worse than daytime at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 But, the only people knows is Cookie sister & the guy that was hired. But that guy could want more money & could cause trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 19, 2015 Members Share Posted February 19, 2015 I don't see anyone copying this. Its not mired in mythology or some contrived season-long mystery, and it's not entirely dark, so they'll just pretend it doesn't exist and is farting in the competition's breakfast cereal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted February 19, 2015 Webmaster Share Posted February 19, 2015 Oh, they are trying, believe me. They're just copying the wrong elements and are hoping the networks will buy into it for next season. Hopefully the network execs realize (yeah, that'll never happen) it won't work without what actually does resonate with the millions of Empire viewers each week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
