Finally caught up with the comments...

First off Anika. I see a lot of people turned against her over drugging Elle. It was a despicable thing to do. And I was mad for all of 1 second and then I was all "Oooh, Kitty. You are one bad ass unscrupulous scheming Bitch". That moment made her character for me. She is worthy adversary for Cookie! She's the anti-heroine to Cookie's beloved heroine. Anika will do what she has to do to hold onto the power that she has at Empire. She helped make it obviously. And she won't give it up without a fight. The show needs this.

I like the grandbaby. She is a as cute as a button. I think it is clear that she will be Jamal's. I don't know why they didn't do a DNA test right away. I feel like whether she is biologically a Lyon or not, they are going to keep her. And Jamal. How is he going to snatch the baby away then prop her in Cookie's lap.

I was happy to see Dora leave. And the actor that plays this new guy played in one of my all time TV series EVER! He was Petros on Spartacus. I am excited about that.

Lucious And Cookie...YES! when Hakeem and Jamal asked Lucious if there was something he needed and he looked past them to Cookie...Yes! I knew it was going down. I almost felt bad for Kitty. Almost! But I couldn't stomach any sympathy. Not because of what happened with Elle either. But because I want Cookie and Lucious together and if people get hurt in pursuit of that, I don't care. I just have no [!@#$%^&*] to give. And count me is as one who isn't impressed with this idea that they have to make Cookie "pure" while Lucious has sowed all his damn oats. It's patriarchal BS that I can do without. I am praying that they played that beat to make it burn even more when Cookie hooks up with the head of security. Otherwise, FAIL!

Really loved Lucious' talk with Jamal about him finding someone who understands what it is like to be with an artist. I still maintain that Jamal is Lucious' favorite child.

I really liked Cookie delivering the speech and wowing the crowd. Cookie Lyons is everything!

And you better believe that EVERY network is looking to green light their very own EMPIRE next season. I am sure execs have seen pitch after pitch. Let's see who has the balls to actually pull the trigger. I think Fox did it because of the success of Sleepy Hollow, in which they screwed up trying to push white leads this season.

I hope they release the original version of Terrence Howard's "You're So Beautiful," a.k.a. Lucious' old song that played when he and Cookie threw down last week. I've only heard a very poor quality full version of it online, but it's nice. The new version with the family (in the preview) sounds great, too.

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Oh and the cue when Leslie was having that fantasy was epic, very DAYS-like. They should keep it and develop it   Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
