I'm becom-, I'm becom-,
I'm becoming
Tana in, Tana in my mind.





Last season's megahit returns.

- Lucious is in jail for killing Bunkie
- Jamal is out, proud, and in charge of Empire
- Andre and Rhonda killed Vernon
- Hakeem is potentially together with Anika/Boo Boo Kitty
- Cookie is teaming up with Andre, Hakeem, and Anika to get Empire back
- Portia and Becky have been upgraded to regulars

Why should you watch it? It's a pure primetime soap opera that knows exactly what it wants to be. Even if that's not your thing, attention must be paid to the performance of Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon.









She's the second coming of Alexis Carrington and I'm going to love every second of it. Bring it, show.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

I was more enthralled with Anika's dancing. That just slayed me.

They are scraping the bottom of the barrel of soap opera cliches.

I give it till episode 6-7 when people start writing articles about how Empire lost its charm is now a crazy hot mess in a bad way.

This show is about as entertaining as ever, imo. Bubbles the lawyer is the greatest, especially in that courtroom scene. They need to chill on the cameos, though. Every single famous black American is trying to get on the screen, and they aren't really executing that poo poo well.

This was definitely an episode that moved the chess pieces around. Not great, but I'm still all in.

As long as they continue to have cool scenes of musicmaking and other characters in other scenes briefly listening to said music, nodding their heads, and going "that's dope," I'll be tuned in

Good:
Hakeem's song when they crashed Lucious' party
Whatever the gently caress Cookie was wearing when they crashed Lucious' party
Cookie's boot camp
Freda is good

Bad:
Pitbull on my TV
Andre bout to blow his brains out
They let Pitbull try to act
We sure Becky G is 18?
It's time for us to band together to stop Pitbull

I just binged through the first season. It's a soap for sure, but it's a good soap. Cookie is the best. :allears:

So if I have it right, the first half of season 2 has already aired and the second half starts up again in March?

Well I finished what's out of season 2. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't see what would happen to Rhonda until it did. And I never did like Hakeem's character.
