This Might Kill Us All: Our Empire Season One Finale Live Blog
LatestThe greatest and saddest moment in the history of (2015) television is about to happen: the two-hour season finale of Empire. There will be guest appearances (Rita Ora, Snoop Dogg, etc.). And someone is expected to die. Could be you.
Empire‘s first season has been a roller-coaster of camp. I’m already pregnant with emotion thinking about it ending. I’ll miss everyone, but especially Cookie. In honor of my new TV mother, I’m wearing not one, but TWO furs in the crib, on my couch with my cat Jewel, whose fur is intrinsic. For the first hour: my $30 dark brown thrift shop faux fur. Second hour: an off-white H&M piece.
Our Empire live blog starts now! (Now-ish. I may be a few minutes late coming from spin class.)

8:03 PM: I’m here. Witnessing the genius of du-rag Lucious in these flashbacks…. Thumbs up to Cookie’s curly blonde wig. And I see Hakeem is creating more MAGIC.
8:07 PM: This cabin is giving me Scandal Vermont vibes.
8:15 PM: Well, it’s starting to get intense. Hakeem spit a verse on stage at Snoop’s show and it wasn’t bad. He raps: “They say he the king/ Well, I’m the prince.” Lucious just punched him in the mouth and I hate him again.
8:19 PM: Hakeem hates Lucious, wants to leave Empire (apparently there’s something weird about your dad sleeping with your brother’s ex and possibly impregnating her, I dunno): “He think he own us, but guess what?” What?….. what?….. what?……. “He don’t.”
8:21 PM: Cookie tells Lucious, “You’re going down.” I believe her.
