LMAO Lady MacBib. Perfect nickname. I also can't wait to see what happens with her. Lucious totally set her ass up with those consent forms, now he can claim innocence when Andre returns.

Omg what is this thing on his face?! It's hideous!

I think they're selling it like a Shakespearean drama, but I suspect that Cookie is going to take them BOTH under her wing. Right now, Cookie has Jamal, but Hakeem is basically alone. Yes, Lucious and Anika are managing him, but they're working to create a mini version of Lucious, they're not advocating for Hakeem,…

That's what happened, but since the gun had a clip, that means he removed all the bullets. Including the one in the chamber. He wasn't really committing suicide, but he was definitely contemplating it.

I'm still trying to decide how I feel about that. On one hand, I'm like okay Fox, enough with that. But on the other hand, I see why they're pushing so hard. This is network history for Fox and they're going to ride this pony til it dies. If Fox is able to entice even a small portion of the viewers from Empire, into…

Ha that would be priceless! I don't necessarily mean walk away though. I mean take a step back and let someone else hold the reigns because business isn't where he's at right now. I think the empire should go to Cookie, and then she can groom her sons to take over when they're older.

At first, I wrote Hakeem off as an annoying, disrespectful, wanna be thug, especially after that disgusting display at the restaurant. However, I'm really intrigued by his journey now. He is a wannabe thug, but that's because he's stuck in his father's shadow. He doesn't share his father's experiences so he's trying…

Agreed. It wasn't about him being trans or cross dressing, but Cookie herself said he was different. I think Jamal probably displayed lots of behaviors that raised a flag for both his parents and Lucious probably reacted so strongly because other people witnessed it. Everyone in the house seem to freeze, which makes…

He held his hands up and said, "Woah, calm down. I'm just trying to talk to you." I just glared at him until his friend dragged him away.

Ah the 'Don't fuck with me' face. Such a useful thing. It doesn't work on everyone, but it does work on many. I walked through a group of 8 guys hanging out in the Bronx, with that face on and my headphones in, music off. One guy stepped into my path to say something, but his friend pulled him back and said, "Naa man,…

I agree. I often put headphones in with the music off. It makes you less approachable to most people while allowing you to hear everything they say while you're "preoccupied". I also walk around with a "don't fuck with me" look. It's a good deterrent most of the time.

Lol that is the safe way to go. I had a guy about your height, maybe a little taller, approach me on the subway platform at 3am. I'm 5 feet even and while I'm fine dating tall guys, I don't like strangers in my personal space, especially those who tower over me for no reason. I'm of the firm belief that once the…

That movie is amazing!

I HATED 12 years of slave. I went with my sister, and my roommate. We all sat there like, 'Are you freakin serious? THIS is the movie people are loving?'. We looked around and all the white people were crying. Yes, the subject matter is horrible, yes slavery is real, but I believe the movie was shot in a gratuitous…

I totally think this is the calm before the storm. Murdering Bunkie, Anika and the baby daddy drama Jamal is experiencing, which I assume is a sabotage attempt by Lucious, is all going to blow up in his face soon enough. Why in the world would that girl show up now? Yes, Jamal's career is exploding and he's starting…

The look on Lucious' face! LOL

It looked like keys for the new locks. I'm not sure if that final shot symbolized him leaving them behind and the end of their relationship, or if it was some sort of foreshadowing of future danger. Or ya know, that Olivia will be locked out of her apartment at some point like a regular person.

Jake didn't care for that hug either. As soon as the water works started, his face screamed 'Pull yourself together dammit, I don't have time for this shit...ugh you're not Olivia, why are you touching me?!' I cracked up laughing at that whole exchange.

I laughed when Quinn burst into tears and Jake gave her the"Dammit woman, quit blubbering" expression. And he looked so uncomfortable when she thew herself at him. If it's not Olivia touching him, it's just not worth it lol.

I hear you. I'm excited for next week's episode though. The Yoko Ono lines have me cracking up at the commercial. I can only imagine what the whole conversation will be like.
