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.

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
