Its LD's fantasy confrontation with his father! It's beyond old and tired and not believable when Jussie goes toe to toe with Howard!

You went gif shopping for nothing Who's upset? I'm just giving my opinion. That's no longer allowed?

It irks me that he stresses that he was never in the closet and the headline is STILL "Jussie comes out." No, damn it. You found out.

Taraji P. Henson was asked about comparisons to Dynasty, and Dame Joan Collins, and she gave a most definitive reply, both respectful to the lady who paved the way for Cookie, while also focused on the present:

"With catfights, over-the-top fashions and vicious one-liners, the show recalls the heyday of “Dynasty.” But Henson resists the comparison.

“Joan Collins has been done,” she declares. “She was my hero. But it’s Cookie’s time. ‘Dynasty’s’ is over.”"

Jussie Smollett comes out:

I had no idea he was in.

I had no idea he was in.

Me either...

I had no idea he was in.

It's like when Ellen and Rosie came out.

ET has the first listen for Mary J. and Terrence Howard's song this week.

The whole

flashback

and the mystery regarding her character has me very intrigued.

We get it!! the show is about the Lucious & Cookie gay son. I don't understand why they didn't make them other boys girls. I thought this show was about three rich black guys with different issues. No matter what issues the other two boys got, it always come back to Jamal is the best of what Lucious & Cookie got to offer.

What difference would it make if they were "girls"?

In the pilot, Lucious talked about someone named Dottie that wanted to raise his kids and also said that she got shot on some street corner. Could Mary J. Blige be Dottie?

Mary J.'s character's name is Angie.

What difference would it make if they were "girls"?

I wouldn't mind seeing Hakeem as a girl. That she might just get slapped, when she called Cookie a bitch.Two daughter & a gay son fighting for the Empire. I think it would have been interesting.

Not necessarily. Lucious ruined all those boys. I don't see one as better than the other.

Jamal going toe to toe with Lucious is LD's fantasy only! Jamal looks foolish and Lucious taking it doesn't ring true.

Well first of all, Lucious doesn't take it. TH plays it as amused most times. He's never bothered by Jamal's tirades unless they are talking specifically about him being gay. Otherwise, he just looks like he's impressed or indulging a child. He plays it the same with all his sons.
