Members London Posted September 10, 2016 Members Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yeahhhh like I said, stunt casting. Lee himself even said that they wanted people in S1 but no one wanted to touch it until it was a mega hit. The same sparkle that hit the show with its debut was lost on a bloated guest stars/cameos. Those scenes would have been just as good with a non name star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING?!I didn't really think that they were going to kill her! But in the end... what did she bring? I'm so confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 Very underwhelming! VERY! A major character died in a big way and we move on 3 minutes later?! The 1st 30 minutes should be pure chaos, but no, there is nothing else related to the the death. Awful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members London Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 I actually agree And but I will give this ep. a thumbs up because they had me rolling at certain parts. That dinner scene was too funny! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 Ronda dies like this: And its not the main story last night! Anika goes into labor 3 seconds later as Andre is going in on her. He picks her up and takes her to safety. At the hospital, she delivers, Cookie gives her condolences to Dre and that is all you get from the death of a major character! TRASH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 ‘Empire’ falls but still dominant The Fox drama maintained its mantle as the highest-rated scripted show on broadcast (at least so far during premiere week), posting a 4.1. That was off nearly 40 percent from last year’s debut, not a huge surprise since the show had been falling most of last season. Top show of the night in 18-49s Fox’s “Empire” 9-10 p.m., 4.1 rating. Top show of the night in 18-34s Fox’s “Empire” 9-10 p.m., 3.5 rating. Top show of the night in total viewers Fox’s “Empire” 9-10 p.m., 10.80 million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 @ChitHappens I love your reviews on Empire and wholeheartedly agree. I still have love for this show, but damn they need to tighten up on the writing. Fans have been screaming for the longest to stop focusing on cameos/stunt casting and get to the core of the show, the Lyons family dynamic, and dammit if they didn't focus on the stunt casting yet again. I didn't need the scene with French Montana and Baby. I didn't need the Xzibit story yet. This episode should've focused on Andre losing Rhonda and Anika's baby impacting the family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 I will always say that the pacing on this show is its biggest weakness. It just lurches from moment to moment. There were at least three eps worth of plot in this episode. This should've focused Ronda's death and the impact on Dre mixed in with the fallout from the wedding. Next ep the birth of the baby and whatever that stuff with Tariq is then move on to that stuff with Shyne and Jamal's PTSD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted September 22, 2016 Members Share Posted September 22, 2016 I was shocked Rhonda died. I thought we'd find her dangling off the side of the building 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 2, 2016 Members Share Posted October 2, 2016 Is anybody still watching? I caught up on the last ep this morning. It had some nice moments mainly family beats between Andre/Jamal and Andre/Cookie but Lucious continues to annoy and/or bore the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted October 4, 2016 Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 Barely. Lucious is the primary reason I can't take this show. He is so over the top evil, he is a diabolical sociopath. He makes it very hard to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 4, 2016 Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 im watching. I think so far this season is better than the mess that was season 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 4, 2016 Members Share Posted October 4, 2016 Same. I realized that once they took away Lucious' ALS diagnosis the character stopped making sense. It was one thing for him to be an SOB when he thought he was dying and wasting away. Without that motivation, he's just a crazy dick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted October 5, 2016 Members Share Posted October 5, 2016 I just can't get into this show like first season. Something is messing on this show. & it's still moving to fast. If they would have move a little slower, we could have gotten Rhonda memorial service. I'm more into Lethal Weapon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted November 8, 2016 Members Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Who wants to bet that the fall finale will include Rhonda in a coma, just waking up as Andre and Nessa are about to get serious?
