What?? You sure we're watching the same show. Hakeem is more supportive of Jamal because it was out in the opening that Jamal is gay. Jamal seem more supportive of Andre situation because in this episode Jamal remember things that Hakeem was to little to understand. they even said that. Maybe You don't like Hakeem because you see his character as coonery. I don't know.

You are right, perhaps the problem is that Hakem is too young to be genuinely supportive. He has no frame of reference and is ignorant. I think my problem with him stems from the fact that he is a justification for all of Luscious' foolery. He's clearly the favored son, and I feel Hakeem justifies so many of his actions through Luscious molding and enabling of his youngest ridiculousness and idiocy on so many occasions, and it's bothersome. Hakeem doesn't have any of the issues, harships or problems that Andre and Jamal have to deal with on a pretty much daily basis, and yet he still ends up acting like the most entitled, pompous, fool of them all. He has low empathy, and doesn't seem to grasp or understand hardships and problems, which is what I saw in the elevator scene. Jamal was the one who really understood and comforted Andre and brought them together, while Hakeem didn't even seem to care what was happening till the end.

So now we're just posting spoilers point blank to ruin other people's enjoyment of the show? How rude....

i do wonder if they're gonna resolve the murder from earlier in the season and/or Cookie's hit by the end of this amazing first season. Seems like a lot to ask. I think they should draw it out into 2nd but given how fast paced the shows have been I won't be surprised if these issues are dealt with quickly.

LOL She's my spirit animal

Which Character From “Empire” Are You?
  1. You got: Cookie
    Bad bitch contest, you’re in the first place. You don’t have time for people’s games. You’re a master of shade, which usually leaves your opponents bewildered, but if they try to come for you — watch out, baby.

    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
    • Fine, you only had to say so. It's not a problem to me NOT to post this. I have no idea what this means. 
    • Oh, really? I think we're really getting close.  What does "apparently" mean to you? To me, it means that this is something I think has happened but not something I absolutely positively know to have happened. When I use a word like "apparently" as I have here, I am doing so by intent. Can you think of a better way to communicate that?
    • Wow...I was not expecting a montage.   I know SilkPress did not!!! Poor Eva.  Lol. Funnily enough I missed that.     
    • For the record, VW thought having the twins at their ages was absurd & who wanted that story, was some group of fans, who wanted her & Carl to have a chance at having children together. Not any fans that I knew of, but supposedly they existed.
