Yeah The Walking Dead is such a cultural phenomenon that they pretty much have the luxury of mapping out a bunch of seasons worth of material. It's like how Marvel has the ability to map out films all the way to 2020

I agree, they've been able to balance two spinning plates seamlessly and it's a testament to how much the show's improved. I love how the closer we get to the reveal the more W's have shown up which builds natural intrigue and adds to an already extremely tense atmosphere. There's a part of me that thinks that if Rick…

Yeah you're probably right. She saw that Rick was dangerously close to self destructing and rectified it before things got even worse. I guess it was the look on her face and the way the lingered that made me me think that there was a bit more going on under the surface.

Ooo that is definitely a good possibility

Yeah I realize that she had to calm things down forcibly but I'm curious to see if there was a bit more behind that as well. I'm probably just over-thinking it though.

LMAO! I actually like that idea even better. Especially if those 4 black guys are Bob, T-Dog, Tyreese & Noah.

After tonight's episode I'm convinced that the season 5 finale of The Walking Dead might end up being it's most intense episode yet but for a completely different reason than I’d anticipated up until now. Before now a season of The Walking Dead would always bookend with a showdown with the Big Bad. The circumstances…

When I say strong I mean that it's executed well. A majority of the songs on the soundtrack could easily be radio hits.

Lucious Lyon is prepared for all things you peon

Do you notice the crowd in any scene on this show? Hilarious stuff

I was so ready for her to say "I'M PREGNANT" and when she did I got way too excited for being right. This is what this show has reduced me to…I'M A MAN OF TASTE AND STANDARDS GODDAMNIT!

Oh trust me I had just as much trouble keeping up because the storytelling was ESPECIALLY incoherent here but I've become accustomed to screaming "What the hell is going on?!" at my TV while watching this mess of a show. I accept now that this is a show that thrives on shock value and it delivers in spades no matter…

I mean his biggest hit wasn't even listenable until his sons remixed it

No one on the show got more flagrantly disrespected on such a frequent basis as Hakeem. Dude is an asswhoopin magnet.

How dare you, that gift giving scene was one of the best comedy scenes of the year. THAT TINY PILLOW THOUGH!

You mean "Black Rambo"? (seriously who names these people?).

Andre's 3 second foray into Christianity bothered the hell out of me

Despite it really not making a whole lot of sense, I loved the heavy handed "Jamal is becoming Lucious" thing that they were doing the entire episode (he was even dressing like him by the end of the episode).

Despite the music itself mostly being strong I do generally think that the side of the show that deals in the music business drags it down. There's just so much about it that I just can't buy, most of all being the fact that Lucious is supposed to be some hip-hop legend.

Coherent storytelling isn't Empire's strong suit on account of it being a soap opera. It used to piss me off greatly but now it's just beat me into submission lol
