S02.E12: A Rose By Any Other Name

[RCharter]

When Camilla hung up the phone in her studio I thought for CERTAIN that she was going to throw it at somebody.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that was hoping she was going to whip the phone and his Rhonda with it.  Just because....its Naomi Campbell!

In case you missed it, here's the Previously.TV post on the episode!

Empire REALLY wants you to describe this episode as 'Shakespearean.'

Rhonda, you need a more progressive pastor who can reason with Dre and shut down that mess that feels that it is entirely appropriate to ambush a still-grieving mother over an unsubstantiated accusation of adultery. That got me so mad on behalf of pastors who properly help their congregations. Cookie needs to know about this; she knows people. Probably church people too.

So much this. I **hate** the "God has a plan": and "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" platitudes. I find them offensive and stupid.

 

For some reason, I can't stop loving Hakeem. He's absolutely ridiculous, but there's something about him I find endearing. The line of the night was Cookie calling him Ray-J, lol.

I know, huh! I was prepared to hate him for doing the nasty with Camilla, but that was "taking a hit" to set her up. I do hope Laura sees the tape though.

 

Hakeem continues to be ridiculous. I do hope that the concert is still a go, even with Camilla out of the picture, cause I'll be glad when Mexican Tapioca is off my screen for a couple weeks.

Not only is Laura bland, she's also stupid for giving up what she sees as a treasure to someone like Hakeem.

 

I was puzzled by Rhonda's attitude toward the "accident" this week. ... I wonder if he hadn't brought the God-talk into it, would she have been more willing to explore the issue?

Andre wasn't saying that someone pushed her; he was saying that because it's part of "God's plan" (see above), it was meant to happen. So,yeah, Rhonda is more than alittle pissed off. I would be too.

 

I'll also say, I find the dead lesbian character list a little flaky now that I looked at it. I mean, there have been an awful lot of TV deaths overall, if we're going back to 1976.

And some of them are bi, and some (like Susan on Seinfeld) wasn't gay when they died. She even got the cause of death for Camilla wrong!
