Me, upon seeing the commercials for Empire’s season premiere: “Empire’s back!!!”
Me, upon seeing the actual season premiere: “Empire’s…back?”

The show I was able to watch was Blindspot with Jaimie Alexander (Kyle XY, the Thor movies, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as Jane Doe, an amnesiac who is freshly tattooed and dropped off in Times Square in a duffel bag, and Sullivan Stapleton (300: Rise of the Empire and Strike Back) as Kurt Weller, an FBI agent who is brought from Kentucky to New York when his name is discovered tattooed on Jane Doe’s back.
Before I start, I want to apologize for my bastardization of the quote from TS Eliot’s “The Hollow Men”, but the quote seemed more apt this way….
Klaus’ plan to defeat Dahlia goes into effect, Davina’s plan to resurrect Kol doesn’t go off as planned, an unexpected person from the past appears and disappears, an old-time threat to the Mikaelsons is removed, and the stage is set for a different season 3…
Alaric and Jo head towards the altar, which always means trouble, Stefan and Elena work together to force Damon to consider his future, and Caroline does the amends tour…
Elena and Damon talk about their future, Lily continues her Ripper ways, Jo and Alaric get parties thrown for them, Matt wallows, and someone returns in the last few seconds….
Stefan works to restore Caroline’s humanity, Damon struggles with conflicting demands from his mother and Bonnie, and Enzo confronts Lily about leaving him….
Dahlia makes a proposal that Klaus is hard pressed to reject; Elijah, Davina, Cami, and Rebekah continue to make preparations to protect Hope; Hayley, Jackson, Josh, and the pack lay Aiden to rest; and Vincent gets a few offers.
Elena has some serious qualms about continuing her life as a vampire, Stefan and Caroline continue their bloody tour of inhumanity, Damon tries to get Lily to help Stefan, Enzo gets a nasty shock, and Jo drops a serious bomb on Elena and Damon.
Dahlia reveals herself is true Mikaelson fashion, Klaus makes and unlikely alliance to stop her, Hayley and Jackson come up with a plan to protect Hope, and Marcel and Elijah get some help to set up a sanctuary….
