Now if you browsed my page already you could probably guess I watched Empire. Now I didn't watch it all the way through now do you want to know why?

Spoiler Alert incoming

In fact if you haven't watched the 1st 4 seasons do it now.

Because it's the only ones that mattered.

Amen

Now if you look here:

..."Now Wait" I know what you're likely to say for the 1st time you read this.

But here's the thing...Anika was the only interesting character on the show.

But what about the other Girl you might say...

Well Taraji is a fine actress but...

Cookie lyon is the true villain of the Story.

Amen

Wait...(flat) what?!

You Probably Said that for the 1st time too.

But imagine this.

You spend 17 years in prison.

Your Man leaves you in the midst of said prison Sentence.

Keep in mind you're already lonely...And the man you thought loved you leaves you in your time of need.

Do you

A. upon leaving prison, you start over, honor only the bonds you share with your 3 sons and try to make a peaceful existence in your life.

Or B.

Barge back into your now ex husbands life, make his new fiance miserable, then eventually make her lose her job ,her position, her relationships with everyone in the music industry. And eventually her Man as well, then Ultimately concluding with an adulterous affair with Ex husbands Son. Then she Get's Pregnant.

But does she support her ?

Of course not

It would be Bad Television

Amen

Ok then...if she was such a victim you may say...then explain Hakeem and everything involving him..

Again I say.

Everything was Stable at Empire until Cookie showed up.

Because she wanted her true loves...

Fame

Validation from the World

and of course...Money

Did Anika Calhoun's life Matter at all to Cookie?

Her Feelings

Her Relationships

I mean think back to Season 2, remember when everyone got kicked out of empire and they had all those Mexicans on the show and everyone was complaining about the content.

Remember when Cookie decided to kick Anika when she was down.

So what happened?

She was Driven Insane

Amen

So who was insane you might ask?

Both of them were.

Because they had no idea what love was...or is.

But how can they?

When all the things I talked about was events to Drive Ratings

Bad Television...Remember.
Amen

So think back to Everything I said...now go to season 4

Anika is eventually freed from Jail, She is ultimately proven to be a bad mother for her child.

But how can she actually learn how to be a good anything.

How can any of the characters learn anything at all when their lives are consumed by chaos.

But that's a reflection of this current time we live in.

When we turn traumatic events into gossip fodder.

Think about everything since 9/11...

We told ourselves as a species is that the only way to cope with evil is to make a joke out of it. Or pretend it didn't happen, or downplay the Evil of whatever you're witnessing or hearing about.

But how can you cope with evil without the LORD?

But this is what happens when you believe their lies on Praying and Communicating with the LORD.

The Misunderstood Becomes Despised. The Hurt turns into the Villian. And No one seems to grow because they are more obsessed with wearing the most perfect outfit. having Hair that's Never out of Place(Remember that Catfight?). Saying the "Perfect" line at all times....

And all that awful music...

Amen
