No reason that Lola should be gone. She is the patriarch's daughter for Christ's sake! Ugh!

And Daniels, we get it. We really do! Jamal is gay, but he's not a sissy. He's a total bad ass. He's the mightiest of the mighty. We [!@#$%^&*] get it! Stop with the ridiculous scenes. Facing off with a gunman twice in one season? That is really pushing it. I just wanted him shot!

Lucious reading that British ho gave me everlasting life! Bye stank ass!

This episode went by really fast. I'm almost always surprised when the credits start to roll but this time I felt like we were only halfway through.

Yay on Cookie getting some lovin' from Malcolm. She deserves someone who treasures her. I loved how Cookie was gearing up to put on a show for Malcom when she thought there was a hidden camera. of course, if Lucious had walked in he would've though she was doing it for him.

Another yay for Rhonda. She's so unfazed by Lucious. She looked out not just for her husband but for all of them. I love how she told Cookie that Lucious was stealing from his sons to buy her loyalty. I know a lot of people would disagree with me but Empire is honestly one of the more feminist shows on the air right now. The women drive a good deal of the action and they aren't perfect but they're layered as hell.

And of course Lucious is Lola's father. Ugh. That man is reprehensible. I've no doubt he's got kids all over the country.

I can believe next week is the finale. I demand webisodes at least.

Look at those rating!!! Hallelujah!

"What is this Bi-po-lah dis-or-dah"! TPH is everything!

However, much like the word "sissy", a person her age should have heard about this and know what it is. She's been in prison for God's sake. Half the people incarcerated with her probably had some mental illness. While I understand what they are trying to convey here, it just seems dated.

I agree. About 15 to 18 would be reasonable. But I do agree with him that 22 would kill the show too fast.

This should push FOX into investing in more diverse dramas and comedies. They are out there. FOX just needs to find them and invest like they did in the 90s. Hopefully this time around, they won't ditch us once the ratings are back sky-high

I find it funny how they are using Empire to promote the other shows on their network when I doubt most of Empire's audience is checking for it. There's a reason the ratings are mammoth compared to the rest of the schedule. Empire is serving an audience that hasn't watched network television in years due to lack of representation.

I was shocked to read an article that Empire was the most watched English speaking prime time show in Latino/Hispanic homes. Also shocked that one episode attained a 40.6/76 in AA female demos.

    • 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!
