Hahahaha!!!! Just saw that episode and that was pretty good.

 

I love that while Lusicious has his memory back, he is still changed. That internal conflict is intriguing as all get out.

 

Meanwhile, I am starting to feel that Andre's gal is doing the long con to get him to admit he set that hit on Lus.

something definitely seemed off. This dude is crazy and just confessed to murder and you are gonna taunt him as if he wouldnt kill you? Then there was her arresting him alone right then and there instead of getting a warrant and coming back with backup. I thought Lee just did this for dramatic effect but didnt expect her to be a hallucination

Well, I just assumed she could really handle herself though or since she mentioned Vegas maybe she was a mob enforcer type from that point on.

 

But like you...I didn't see that coming. It makes me want to watch all their scenes to see if there was some clue. I know they did flashbacks, but no dialogue so would it have been in the dialogue.

 

Just...so well played.

I just kept thinking prior to those very last scenes and that reveal that she is playing him and trying to trick him into confessing. I never trusted her but I didn't expect that ending. I agree that twist at the end of tonight's episode with Dre/Pamela was definitely "wow". It made me think a bit of the Twilight Zone when it was happening.

 

I thought that Trai did a really good job playing those scenes. Poor Andre. I am glad that his parents are being there for him. I like this more sensitive Lucious. I hope he keeps this part of his personality as he reconciles his memories of his past. 

 

It's time for them to really handle Mama Dubois. I think that they might really dig into her past and expose all the dirt they can find on her and her family publicly. I could see them really embarrassing her publicly in front of her friends/associates and sullying her family's name and legacy. Maybe she's also backstabbing some friends/associates and they will expose that as well. They can make it so that no one will want to associate with her or the Dubois family.

You think Lucious and Cookie will get their payback on the fall finale?

 

I don't know about anyone else, but it's jarring to see Phylicia Rashad as a villainess. She'll always be Claire Huxtable to me.

I enjoyed tonight's fall finale of Empire. There was quite a bit of action going on. I am liking this nicer, more improved version of Lucious. I like seeing him show genuine concern for Andre.

 

I also liked seeing Trai Bryers get a chance to show off his vocals a bit. I knew he could sing in real life but wasn't sure if the producers would ever include him doing that somehow in the show. I had figured if they did, it would be by having Dre have some sort of fantasy of him singing. 

 

I am glad that the Lyons exposed Mama Dubois and that Hakeem got Bella back. Not surprised by how things ended with Angelo and am interested in seeing how Jamal deals with the fallout from that. I am also interested in seeing what happens with unhinged Claudia and Lucious.

    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!

    • This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.
