Season 2 Premiere Live Chat Topic

[photo fox]

Hi, all,

 

We're going to do a live chat topic for tonight's premiere.  It will be open until the show ends on the West coast.

 

Three things to keep in mind:

 

• Once you've watched the entire episode, please take your comments to the regular episode topic.  This is for "as you watch" posting only.
• I'll try to keep up, but I'm going to be watching the show, too.  So if you see something objectionable, please report and move on, or just move on, and I'll catch it when I can.
• Remember, this is supposed to be fun!  So let's try to avoid heavy, controversial, or heated topics here.

 

This topic will open at 9pm EDT.

Here we go!!! Game time bitches!!!!

[SimoneS]

A "Free Luscious" concert. Hilarious.

Damn, what does Cookie have on?

 

Did she say, "your father is a tampon?" I must have heard that wrong.

[phoenics]

Wow - that dress - the side of it - wow... TPH is bold, lol.

Wait - a gorilla? Seriously?

LMAO! Andre Leon Talley?! That's hilarious. Wait - Don Lemon!!>?!?! "And you did good in Ferguson, brother... " *snicker*

I love the shade.

Love this song Jamal is singing.

Oh, Hakeem giving the camera the eye. His father is going to put him in his place.

That's what I heard.  TAMPON!  LOL

[SimoneS]

Wait, that is Marisa Tomei? She is almost unrecognizable. She has done way to much work to her face.

[NotChu]

Chiris Rock looks crazy!   lol

[mtlchick]

Note to self: City TV airs the show at 8 PM EDT.  No wonder they marked it as "World Premiere."  

 

My sister: "Chris Rock.  Really?"

[NotChu]

Marisa looks rough.  I thought that was Mimi Rogers at first.

[phoenics]

HA! A slap at 50 cent! LOL! Half of the fans probably missed that shade!

[SimoneS]

I don't get why Luscious is in prison and not in a jail.

 

Hakeem is going to tell mom. Hilarious. Loved Becky telling Jamal off.

I'm slow.  Can you please explain?

 

"You're rude, he's crude and you're both socially unacceptable."  Becky is awesome.

[SimoneS]

Luscious' lunacy cracks me up. He is complaining that Cookie has not come to see him once. Really, after how he treated her?  

[phoenics]

50 kept whining that Empire ripped off his show, Power.

Oh and they got big flatscreen tv's in prison?

Chris rock looks like he's about to shank the mess out of that dude.

50 kept whining that Empire ripped off his show, Power.

Oh yeah...It's been a long summer lol.  What did they say though?  I blanked for a moment. 

[SimoneS]

Oh no, Gathers going after Cookie's cousin. Don't give up, Cookie!

[phoenics]

Oh yeah...It's been a long summer lol.  What did they say though?  I blanked for a moment.

Cookie mentioned that 50 was being all thirsty about something to do with them...

That dynamic with Jamal and Michael - not sure if I like it... Jamal acting all hard... I dunno. I do like how Michael isn't just falling into his arms - but man - make Jamal work for it after the way he left you twisting in the wind.

OMGosh - a commercial with TPH, Mary J and Kerry W!!??!? YES!

Edited September 24, 2015 by phoenics

[SimoneS]

Michael is back. Jamal is doing his Luscious impression. Run, Michael, run! Jamal is nothing, but trouble.

[mtlchick]

I'm confused: is that Jamal's ex or a new fling?

 

So Cookie is putting Boo Boo Kitty to work?  Anything for 250 million!

[SimoneS]

Great commercial. Taraji, Mary J. Blige, and Kerry Washington.

[phoenics]

Um - what prosecutor has her boobies hanging out like that?

[phoenics]

WOW. What - Boo Boo Kitty slept with her?!?

Damn - Lucious did that.

My mouth is actually hanging open.

Every new show and every product is trying to be in on the Empire show commercials.

"You can't even dyke right." Cookie is so bad.

Oh no, he gave up Cookie.

[phoenics]

"You can't even dyke right." Cookie is so bad.

Oh no, he gave up Cookie.

I'm worried for Cookie.

And Jamal is hurting my feelings right now.

[mtlchick]

"You can't even dyke right." Cookie is so bad.

 

 

The early frontrunner for quotes for this season.  Of course that's the moment my dog had to go outside.

[phoenics]

Oh my God. That was some Grimm-level mess right there.

This show got real serious real quick.

Okay that scene with Lucious and Cookie reminded me of why I used to have a hate-crush on Lucious. When anyone comes for Cookie, he draws blood.

[SimoneS]

Seriously, these two... Cookie and Luscious.got some serious sick twisted love/hate going on.

[wanderingstar]

Chris Rock is Frank the gangsta? God bless you, show.

[mtlchick]

Chris Rock as a cold hearted bastard?  I've seen it all.

[SimoneS]

Shit, Luscious is a cold motherfucker.

[phoenics]

Mouth. Hanging. Open.

[SimoneS]

Wow, Jamal gone dark side. Eh, Luscious will get out and fix everything.

[phoenics]

They done broke up my fave couple, Cookie and Jamal.

Tears.

[mtlchick]

Goddamn show.  I s dialogue and I need closed captioning.  The scenarios are beyond ridiculous.  The characters are insane.  The commercials will drive me to drink.

 

I am this show's bitch.

[photo fox]

Jamal's been needing some edge.  I'm excited.

[phoenics]

Jamal's been needing some edge.  I'm excited.

I'm skerred.

[Neurochick]

I love this show so many DUN DUN DUN!!! moments. What I like is they don't let the guest stars take over the show. Keep them in the background, because Empire is all about the Lyons.

BTW I watch most shows with the closed captioning on, so no big deal for me.

[LaChavalina]

Over the top? Yes. Completely satisfying? YES.

 

"Make it loud and make it long." I literally squealed and twisted around on the couch. Well done.

[wanderingstar]

"Make it loud and make it long."

 

But really, this could be the show's motto.

[yourstruly]

 

Great commercial. Taraji, Mary J. Blige, and Kerry Washington.

Directed by Ava DuVernay (dir. of Selma, Middle of Nowhere)
