It is not uncommon for clients in criminal cases to develop feelings towards their attorneys. That is why Naz's act did not ring false. There is a sense of trust and security between attorney and client that can sometimes cause a client to confuse advocacy on their behalf as romantic love. The attorney's duty is to be…

I think my favorite moment of the season was Todd's comment about his sexuality. Not only was it an honest portrayal of the self-discovery of asexuality, but it solidifies the earnest nature of the most underused character in the series. More Todd! And more Todd heads!

Who is Yael? I only know a Hot Rachel.
1) Ruby's return was the ultimate tease. It teased that Darius could be a real person (he can't). It teased the show returning to its most interesting contestant this season - the only one with a discernible personality. It teased that the police incident would spur Darius into…

Was it just me, or did it seem like Elliot was a different person at the end of the episode? The manic laughter followed by the overly-laid back "peace" at the end of his comment to Mr. Robot led me to the question of whether there is a third identity that Elliot's mind houses. Without the signature monotone…

Casual? Just given up on it? (We want coverage! All eight fans!)

Less than 24 hours after this episode aired, my client, currently incarcerated, was served with notice that a collection agency had acquired his debt from bail bond services and was proceeding with garnishing wages for this long-outstanding debt. My client has been incarcerated for a decade, receiving less than a…

"And watch out. My sister has herpes. Hope it's not too late." This is how I feel about Empire, in general. Empire is herpes, in the best and worst way possible.

I disagree with your statement but thoroughly appreciate your enthusiastic response.

I still am a huge Cookie fan. I think her arc this season is appropriately less based on revenge and more on being a mother after the forced separation. Perhaps it's not about being with Lucious but rather having what she imagines is a cohesive family denied to her for so long - the music mogul family I imagined for…

3 years out of college. We get so, so fast.

I may have not liked this episode a whole lot (B+ on family stuff leading to a rewarding reveal that confronts the mental health problem in the black community; B on Freda coming back because I like her; D on all involving Rhonda's new BFF that was married to Lucious. B+ for taking a common TV trope - the birthday -…

I didn't get to see the preview for next week until just now. IT'S ALL THE UNANSWERED RAY QUESTIONS EPISODE! I am too excited.

I guess Ray's business is doing better, given he has 50k to buy and custom paint a food truck. I would have liked to, ya know, see him thoroughly dismantle Helvetica and all it represents…perhaps through his local government position. (?)

My TV is too small to ascertain what the flash mob was holding, so I thought they were neon-colored dildoes and was surprised Jamal didn't get injured by them. My misperception may be more sensical than what was actually shown, but Empire doesn't play by the rules of logic or employ nuance.

New theory: Kato Ren did it. Boom.

The relationship between Chuck and Jimmy is so askew. When the show started, I initially thought Chuck was Jimmy's dad because of their very vertical relationship. I think Jimmy doesn't want to take away Chuck's professional legitimacy. I think he wants to show his big brother that he's a force to be reckoned with,…

If you Wikipedia my heart, you'll find Ray under the "Conquerors" section. I would love to spend an evening in a click hole with him.

I am so glad there are multiples! Lifetime to the rescue!

In a more equitable world, Ian would be protected against negative workplace decisions by the Americans with Disabilities Act, which does include private EMT companies in its purview. However, mental health issues are, generally, not considered a disability. Bipolar disorder is not under ADA rules. Furthermore,…

Upon reviewing that scene, you're right. It seems a little PSA, and, with most things involving Ian, is a Deux ex machina. There is a point to be made about workplace discrimination as a result of mental illness. It's a way out (for the writers, in for Ian) to have his employment decision solved by a monologue. In…
