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.

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
