I thought those were some powerful scenes between Andre and Lucious towards the end of tonight's episode. He really did lay into Andre verbally. I think he's more angry with Andre plotting behind his back than he was with Jamal coming out. He at least believes Jamal loves the family/music, and he doesn't really feel that way about Andre.

It was powerful but it made a lot of sense. Wasn't Lucious' family once upon a time part of Nation of Islam? It would make sense why he is totally against interracial marriage. I also think that he chewed into Andre b/c Andre seems to be that black male that yearns for white acceptance in everything that he does, so that would piss Lucious off.

This show is just too perfect!

I hope their hiatus isn't long. I need this show to come back in the summer but I bet it'll be coming back in the fall.

I remember Cookie saying something like the Nation had killed Lucious's father. I wonder what the whole story is behind that.

I could see how he could have the feelings he does regarding Andre, including the reasons you mentioned. Lucious seems to be the type of man that is really set in his ways, and he will say whatever he really feels, right or wrong.I think that Lucious has had those feelings bottled up for a while regarding Andre/Rhonda and Andre in general. I think that he he just never really said anything about it before, but now that he realized Andre has plotted against him, he let those feeling come to the surface.

Even though this is a soap, and it's going to have it's share of plotting and scheming, I am actually am glad that Lucious is sharp enough that he could sense what Andre was up to. I think that him being sharp like that helps strengthen his position as the Patriarch on this show.

laugh.pnglaugh.png You crack me up. I actually did think Rhonda had it in her, but I'm sure glad we didn't have to watch.

One thing I wonder is why Cookie got 30 years in what looked like maximum security. That seems awfully harsh just for selling drugs. Not that I don't take drug dealing seriously, but that's basically life in prison.

    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
