It's only 12 episodes, we know they are going to get the 2nd half of first season. I hope they don't come back watered down.

I doubt there will be a second half. That would have them airing all throughout the summer. Unless they want that, they'll keep it 12 episodes or wait until September for a longer season.

Terrific to hear that Empire has been renewed, between this renewal and the renewal of The Royals on E! (before it's even aired) it seems there is a renaissance for the prime time soap.

I enjoyed this week a lot, I remain fiercely Team Cookie.

The slayage is just so unreal and unexpected.

Just thinking about the summer hiatus got me upset.

The TCA is having the Empire panel right now. Well, it just wrapped and here are some tweets from TV Guide.

#Empire's Terrence Howard says @TherealTaraji takes Cookie's lines "and dip it in gravy a little bit" #TCA15

#Empire's @TheRealTaraji relates story of how her dad said her head smelled like "goat ass." They worked that phrase on show #TCA15

#Empire's Henson says Cookie has some Bette Davis and Diahann Carroll influences #TCA15

Taraji P. Henson: "I know who Cookie is, I can defend her to anyone. She's not loud for the sake of being loud." #Empire #Fox #TCA15

#Empire's Taraji P. Henson: As an artist I never want to do safe work. Art can save a life, art can change a life... I don't run #TCA15

Terrence Howard says he's 45. Taraji P. Henson: "You're that old? Wait, how old am I playing on this show??" #Empire #Fox #TCA15

Trai Byers says Andre and Rhonda are puppetmasters for chaos in the family so he can rise to the top. #Empire #TCA15

In Trai Byers' audition, he came in and asked, "I'm Iago, right?" He got the job #Empire #TCA15

#Empire's Lee Daniels on embracing the term "soap opera": "Don't you all miss Dynasty? I miss Dynasty!" #tca15

#Empire doesn't shy away from being called a soap opera. Lee Daniels & Taraji P. Henson miss Dynasty, cat fights, fashions, etc. #TCA15

And yes, Cookie will "get her groove back"

"If Cookie does get her groove back and it's not Lucious, he's not going to make it easy," #Empire exec producer Ilene Chaiken says. #tca15

I hope Cookie gets a strong back younger man. That'll really make Lucious seethe!

Lee is a smart cookie. Keep proudly shouting that your show is a soap! By doing this, he'll only gain a loyal audience because they come no more loyal.

Exactly. He needs to keep shouting that from the rafters.

I almost feel like the press hates the fact that it's a soap and doing so well.

I hope Cookie gets a strong back younger man. That'll really make Lucious seethe!

She'll apparently be "getting her groove on" many times ... lol
