Do you watch Empire? If so how do you rate them? Power is more gangsta, about drugs and gang life. Empire has more to offer. e.g. Sexual orientations, insight to the music industry, power struggles, family, drama, so many more plot lines.
I rate them same. If I had to make a choice I guess I'd choose Empire because of Taraji P. Henson. I'm in love with her.

I find myself liking the stuff she's in - Baby Boy, Hustle and Flow, Person of Interest, Empire.

Never could get over replacing her with a assassin type, Sarah Shahi. Show went downhill for me when Taraji left.

I like both. Empire is made by the characters of Lucious & Cookie. They're both great actors, and the way in which Lucious conducts himself as the cunning business man with a hint of G is awesome.
Power is cool because there's the element of will Ghost get caught or won't he, and he's a good actor too.
All in all, both have great dramatic storylines, but Empire is cooler, and has that little hint of comedy when Cookie acts out. My favorite show on TV is Banshee, can't wait for that to come back on the air.

We have similar viewing tastes. Banshee is a show I auto tune. I hope Job gets more air time next season. He's my favorite gay bad ass. When is the season set to start?

I always felt Sarah Shahi replaced Reese's old partner(Kara), the one he worked with in the CIA. I thought they were going to have her join the team but then she left for The Following and they had to do something with her character. They were building her up through the flashbacks and then just boom, she's gone. I think she was supposed to be the Shaw of the group. I would have preferred her to stay on, liked her much better than Shaw(Shahi). I still can't get over Shaw's size, though. Not convincing at all. But I do like that little lesbo thing she got going on with Fred from Angel(Root). (bleep) yeah!
But still would rather that be Kara with Root.
Another movie I liked with Taraji, Smoking Aces.

Job is awesome, him and Burton are both pretty entertaining. It's due to come out in January next year, but it's gonna be the last season, which kinda sucks as it's got better and better as it has gone on.

Man the way Burton killed Nola Longshadow was gruesome. I found it hard to watch it on the reruns. I think he's a eunuch.

Ish just got real. Ghost set Angela up to get Tommy out of jail. Tommy showed real, he wouldn't snitch, even for his mama. Kanan kill Shawn, his son. Ghost knows about him and Tasha. Angela and Ghost are still a mystery to me. It's going down between Ghost and Kanan in the finale. It's set up to be exciting.

Oh (bleep) !
He smoked his own son!
Loved Tommy's facial expression when Turtle got him off the hook and he was leaving the court room.

She chose the job over love. And now she's going after him. I want Tasha to end her so badly now.
Too bad about D. Wade. He was stuck with the worst father ever.

Don't really watch the show just remember Omari Hardwick was promoting the show on First Take during the NBA Finals apparently he used to be college football in Georgia with Champ Bailey and Hines Ward.
Who knew? |

Thanks, I'll look forward to it. The finale should be interesting. It will set things up to bring viewers back for the season debut. It would surprise me if Angela gets smoked. How Tasha and Ghost's relationship develops is going to be interesting. He knows she shagged Shawn. Which players get killed???????

| The fact that D Wade went back to see Fiddy was a remarkably dumb decision. I know that he's supposed to be naive, but I thought that it was a bit of a stretch. |

Ghost needs to axe his Latina mistress.
Her character is beyond annoying.
I'll be surprised if she survives this season, and probably a little disappointed too.

Lol @ Dwade, I knew he was getting axed before the season was over either by 50 or Ghost but I'm a lil surprised that Ghost didn't warn him to stay away from 50 after he let him live. |

Doubt Angela is going down in the Finale, but I think she does next season.
Ghost should be the one that does it. Would be too easy for Tommy to do it and Tasha hasn't even really met her yet, just like a 5 sec peek.
If 50 survives the Finale, maybe he can do it next season to really piss off Ghost and start the road to the final showdown between the two. |

I think, Ghost, Tasha, Kanan, Tommy and Angela are sure bets to return. I'm not sure about Ruiz. Luiz Ramos is a executive producer so Ruiz may return.
The finale will see a lot of people go down.

Crazy finale.
It's unknown if Season 3 will be the last?
But I don't see any happy endings for the main players.
Ghost has too many enemies to dodge IMO to live in the end. |

| This show is great, but I was disappointed that it used the old cliche where the protagonist doesn't finish off the villain and the villain somehow survives in the end. Other than that, awesome finale. |
