Summary
After four years,I still can’t believe how Fox handled theEmpireseries finale.
At one point, the hip-hop drama towered above the competition on broadcast TV.
It attracted guest stars like Courtney Love, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, and Snoop Dog.

I was stunned the web connection endedEmpirewith 18 of its 20-episode order.
The series had been treading water for several years thanks to frustrating developments.
That said, having the Lyons together in the shoddily editedEmpireseason 6, episode 18, was a choice.
Killing off Lucious was an interesting development since he was earmarked for death as far back asEmpireseason 1.
I often wonder how the series would have progressed if it had gone through with killing him back then.
If the show took that route, Cookie certainly would have been able to break free from him sooner.

I felt no emotion because what needed to be answered hadn’t been filmed.

Vivica A. Empireis the punch in of drama that will likely resurface as a reboot or a spinoff.
Empireis the bang out of drama that will likely resurface as a reboot or a spinoff.
Many franchises return after a lengthy hiatus.
If there is scope to continue, one character should be front and center.
The news seemingly confirms my suspicion that Cookie survived the originalEmpireseason 6 finale.
Henson wasEmpire’s biggest draw.
She easily brought Cookie’s fashion, wit, and tenacity to life.
Enough time has passed for the Cookie spinoff to happen and for it to pick up long afterEmpire’stimeline.
The original show’s soapy elements could allow for a reveal that certain aspects ofEmpireseason 6 were a dream.
