[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 258538, member: 8"] I also want to mention the variety in the episodes. Even if the storyline isn't overly exciting (but that can be deceptive!) the episode itself looks fresh and interesting. Episode 4 takes us to the opera house, and of course they also manage to make that music sound great. It's really beautiful, and even more beautiful when it's used on Tiana's XStream performance track. Anyway, this kind of high society is new territory to Cookie and overall the episode focuses on the pitfalls thereof in order to create doubt in the mind of Cookie and, by extension, us. It's a good old-fashioned romance story and that needs to be soaped out over an X amount of episodes. But they're doing everything they can to avoid repetition and many episodes are as beautiful as the stand-alone episodes of the eighties soaps. Empire doesn't offer something new in the grand scheme of things but I always find something surprising in every episode. Or I'm surprised by my own emotional reaction. Is Jamal going to be an addict, and what's going on with Andre? His storylines are eerily consistent with his bipolar condition and I like it that he's not sharing everything with us. Jamal gets Freda Gatz out of jail, but this is [I]also[/I] not exactly what it looks like. Unbeknownst to himself Jamal has been emotionally manipulated, courtesy of Lucious, and as a result Lucious no longer has to worry about any allegations regarding his "alleged" involvement in Frank Gathers' death. Even when they drop a storyline, they drop it so satisfyingly. Nessa's brother Shine is very angry, and he's going to war Lucious. It all looks very dangerous! *trembles* [/QUOTE]
