HONORABLE MENTION | Jussie Smollett delivers the occasional outburst as Jamal Lyon, but nothing he has done on Empire rivals the wild-eyed intensity of his visit to this week’s Underground. Guesting on the WGN America drama as runaway slave Josey, Smollett stared daggers (and thrust an actual one) at John Hawke, an abolitionist mistaken for the man who sold off Josey’s wife Tempy nine years ago. “Tell me the truth! Tell me you sold her,” Josey dared John, Smollett’s face seething with anger. When John spins a yarn that assuages his abductor some, Smollett flipped a switch and revealed Josey’s measured relief… until the fib was found out. “Just one lie-after-lie-after-lie-after-lie…,” Josey hissed. “Now I have to cut your lyin’ tongue out!” Airing as it did after Empire’s midseason premiere, the fiery performance dynamically capped a Smollett double-header.

Wow awesome for Jussie.

I will watch that show soon. Just haven't come around to it yet.

I saw his performance in Underground, he is very talented and diverse, he's only in the one ep, the show overall I'm still trying to digest it.

De Medici Queen · 04-03-2016, 04:31 AM

wow great! That sounds interesting and intense

I wish I had enough time to watch that show too

but it's good to read that he did an amazing job. I had no doubts he would though!

**eternalfate** · 04-03-2016, 12:31 PM

Luckily I have all the episodes on Demand so I'll most likely watch the episodes right from the start when I get the time.

De Medici Queen · 04-03-2016, 02:08 PM

I love how you'll just like "I'll watch it" with all the other shows you are watching too

that's great that you will watch it all for Jussie

I actually did plan to watch it.

However, I just don't have the time but I guess Jussie appearance makes me want to watch it more.

Jussie is just going to make me watch it a lot earlier than I originally was going to. lol

De Medici Queen · 04-05-2016, 01:01 PM

Jussie is your favorite of Empire cast right?

**eternalfate** · 04-06-2016, 01:30 PM

Taraji is.

Jussie would probably be my second favorite...
I of course knew Terrence and Taraji the longest, way before Empire.

As an Actor, I've always enjoyed Terrence the most.

flip, flop, flip, flippidy, flop

apparently the lgbtq community not happy with Jamal switching sides.

**eternalfate** · 04-08-2016, 01:32 PM

They need to calm down.

Loved Becky telling the crowd that Drip-Drop wasn't even his song.

His father really caused some nonsense...

De Medici Queen · 04-09-2016, 04:23 AM

Haha Becky was so funny when she said that!

I know, they really need to calm down and I hope Jamal will be able to make things right again with them

btw guys... any title suggestions? We need a new thread here

**eternalfate** · 04-09-2016, 09:30 AM

Because Empire is Jussie's breakout role.
Because we get to see his talent from acting range to music vocals all in one.
Because he ain't about labels, he just is who he is.
Because according to Billboard, during Season 1 Jamal Lyon was the most likable character.

That's all I have.

De Medici Queen · 04-09-2016, 02:22 PM

loving this one

Because he ain't about labels, he just is who he is.

but I would agree with any of those really

**eternalfate** · 04-09-2016, 03:47 PM

Okay, I'll start the thread.
