Tara Ariano March 17, 2015 Share March 17, 2015 In the Season 1 finale, Lucious has a secret that's about to change everything as he and Jamal seem on their way to forming a music-centered relationship. Meanwhile, Hakeem decides to flirt with the enemy; at the same time, he's trying to figure out what's the best move for his career; and Cookie cooks up a plan to get herself back on top. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/23778-s01e11-s01e11-die-but-once-s01e12-who-i-am/

He played Lucious as the devil incarnate. The laughing when he found out that he did not have ALS as scary as hell. Too bad Cookie did not kill him. I was surprised that he gave Empire to Jamal though. I still don't buy Lucious' contrition. He has some damn nerve calling Cookie a ghetto rat. I was not surprised about Jamal threatening to throw Bertelli over the balcony. Jamal is the son most like Lucious. I was surprised that he did not beat down homophobic Black Rambo instead of challenging him. Cookie and Anika weren't playing. That fight was hilarious. So Hakeem and Anika did the deed. Damn. Hakeem and Andre conspiring against Jamal was delicious as was Vernon betraying Lucious. Patti La Belle and Jussi Smollet were great together in the final song.

Good thing Fox decided to forgo the "limited commercial interruptions" with ads every 5 minutes so I can write some coherant thoughts that will meld into a long list of moments. They actually do it on a bearskin rug. Lucious with his constant posturing then his drug fuelled halluciation. The really tacky gifts (though it took me a minute why Cookie got a pillow.) The multiple double crossings. The cat fight that turns into a team up. The unexpected death that I did NOT see coming. Lucious getting his comeuppance...for now. Oh show. What the fuck am I going to do until you come back! (Other than watch Terrance Howard on another Fox show in May and hate on him there.)

Artsda March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 (edited) So much happened my head hurts. Andre's just petty. He could have easily helped Jamal and then work his way over him. He couldn't wait for that and Jamal? I have no idea his mentality for wanting Jamal out and the company taken over. He and Jamal are close. The goof troop coming together with Cookie and BooBoo just made me root for Lucious and Jamal. They couldn't have Jamal in charge so much they'd go give Empire stocks to this white George Bush looking guy with his awful rapping grandson? They've sunk low and for no reason. Cookie and Anika have reason, the boys are just looking ungrateful spoiled brats and petty. Didn't think Malik had long for this cast when he didn't do any press and they didn't have him at the Emmy panel, not to mention what he said about Jussie in the press. Was shocked Rhonda's the one that committed the murder though, she was the last one I expected to be the killer. So Vernon turned to the FBI and was their star witness. Rhonda and Andre helped Lucious there. Love Jamal going badass, he's throwing people off balconies and he's doing rap battles alone. Then the look he gave Cookie when he knew what she did. The scene of Jamal and Lucious at their old house while they fought and then sang together was brilliant. So amazing a scene.
