Members BoldRestless Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 Haven't watched yet, but sounds like Shemar could take the Guest Performer Emmy next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 I don't think there is going to be one. I think they pulled it because of Patrika Darbo's issue or something. The episodes have been good but today especially - did they use this opportunity to sell a bunch of more commercial/ad time? Because one person speaks for 3 minutes and they're off to commercial again and it's been the whole episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members durk Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 He said the writer almost knew verbatim what he would say, I honestly find most of the dialogue more their words than scripted. All in all watching all them show that real raw emotion just tore my heart up. Shemar BROUGHT it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Antoyne Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 Man these funeral scenes are rough. Most of the actors don’t seem like they’re acting at all, just raw emotion for someone they loved. This has to be surreal for them. When Shemar broke down, I lost it. CK also broke my heart. Not gonna lie. just finished the episode. I’m emotionally spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 Between my allergies and trying to hold back the tears, I had to take a Tylenol for the headache I got. Whew, that was tough! I recently lost a loved one and I couldn't make arrangements in time for the funeral so I feel like, I've been keeping emotions under wraps but the tears just started to flow, almost endlessly...

Members Clark Still Posted April 25, 2019 Members Share Posted April 25, 2019 Today’s episode was rough, especially after losing a loved one recently. They were worked shooting as they say in wrestling. They were in character but every word said was raw and real from the cast at the funeral Monday is gonna be even more heartbreaking. I’m finna go watch some Maury after I finish watching this episode cause I need an emotional pick me up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 While I think Traci going over and listening to the news was badly executed, therefore coming off as a bit nosy and uncomfortable, I actually felt something for Lily and the whole scene got me choked up. Not greatly directed, but they gave it good ole-fashioned melodrama, and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 I wasn’t expecting this week to be quite as hard as it was. I knew it would be difficult but damn, literally sobbed through three episodes back to back. The impact of this family and seeing so many black faces on screen felt huge, but what also hurt is that it felt like the end of an era. Dru is gone. Neil is gone. Malcolm exists, but he’s not around and neither is Olivia. The legacy exists, but there is no telling what the show will do with it. This tribute covered a lot of ground. I loved the small touches like the reverend who felt like what you’d get at a black church. Then you had Leslie in the back, which is where she’d be placed and Sofia and Moses to the side as they were part of his “other family.” It just had such depth and emotion and there wasn’t one person in the room that felt out of place. Neil truly was an impactful character who meant so much to the show as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 As sad as this show was, people weren’t kidding when they said Shemar and Gina Tognoni had chemistry in that tiny little scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'm going to miss Gina. She really took Phyllis to a new level I thought...one I actually liked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yeah, I didn't love her scenes in the apartment but she was an absolute standout in the funeral scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 I thought it would have been neat to do the opening credits with just Neil stills over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
