Contracts don't exist in this universe.

 

As if Trai Byers could get any finer, he was a GL fan:

 

Glamour: Your first TV role came courtesy of All My Children, and I love that your character's name was Mookie. Ironic, certainly. Did you watch soap operas growing up?

 

Trai: I did. Guiding Light! And they pissed me off bad! They killed off my favorite character! His name was Hart [Jessup]. He was a great, down-to-earth, solid human being. There was this woman he was in love with and had a baby with, but his ex was livid and wanted to put an end to that happiness, so she tries to pull a gun and shoot the girl, but instead Hart jumps in the way, gets shot—in the heart!—and dies! I stopped watching altogether after that!

Oh Trai, how perfect art thou!

I have stopped watching a many shows over story choice. General Hospital was one I broke up with and just can't bring myself to care anymore. 1) Jason not getting his memory back and the end of Jason and Keisha.  2) oh how my preteen hormones wanted Stephan and Alexis to steam it up. Instead they made them cousins! Then siblings! Why? I. Was. Done!

OMG. That's awesome! I love that he was a soap watcher!

Luscious will have that sluttly prosecutor on her knees soon enough. She's itching for it.

 

Loved that corpse in her car. Luscious just makes me smile! He's now the sole reason to watch this show.

 

Cookie is a cartoon now and she will soon be at the point where she can't be salvaged. They are really messing up a good thing.

 

Keem has joined Jamal in the land of completely uninteresting and only Andre still has my attention. Trai is doing a marvelous job.

 

Gabby running from the Feds? Laughable, but she could certainly use the running!

I also thought Cookie was just a tad bit over the top last night. They need to always remember to give her human moments if they are going to continue this route lest she become unwatchable. They did a good job with the flash black and her reaction to Prosecutor Tits Cheap Shoes I'm Going To Bang Lucious And Ruin My Career Ford threatening her children. They also made her smart with manipulating the prosecutor into going after the sell of Apex. More calculating Cookie please! 

I agree that Andre is probably the most interesting brother. But thats caus he's still woefully underdeveloped as compared to the other two. They kill it the more he gets focus. 

Grace Gaely continues to shine as Anika. She's also quite interesting. 

Shari Sheppard was on the Tom Joyner morning show saying she didn't like the politics (cookie's comment about comitting suicide in police custody) in her entertainment but did like the video Hakeem and Jamal made. Is she too slow to realize that the show is political unto itself? Lucious going on nationally TV explaining rap music was political. Lucious' entire spiel to Andre about education and marrying white woman and people still seeing him as a Black man was political. Jamal's entire existence is political. Matter of fact this show, on this network, with these characters, in these roles, in this setting, with these actors whose blackness is relevant to the story makes it political. Example, the use of the nation of islam.  Alot of times, these things are ignored for black people on most shows. Example: Olivia Pope until her daddy came along.

Those scenes with Lucious and his mother, damn. That brought back some times I'd like to forget. I thought that was so realistic. The desperation a child feels to stay with their mother, no matter how bad the situation.

 

I hope that despicable prosecutor gets everything she deserves and I don't mean Lucious's dick! Taking such joy in scaring Cookie with the idea that her child might commit suicide. Truly deplorable.

 

Andre and Rhonda trying to did up Vernon. Macabre, but funny.
