But no, they show the girl growing up and that line comes where she's about 15.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Are we talking about Empire anywhere? I am watching the pilot, and I am pretty sure it is based off The Lion in WInter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah! Even worse! It's when she's "graduated" to sitting in the front seat and the mom gets sentimental.

Sophia, A bit of Othello too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
According to that one line in the pilot, it's King Lear.

Empire/Nashville night is one of my favorite nights on TV.
(Note, I have no idea if these shows actually air on the same night, because I am always Tivo-delayed. In our house, they are a double-header because soapy melodramas with music = awesomesauce, and Empire is an excellent antidote to all of Nashville's white-people-problems.)

Jessica, that is what I meant. Can I blame pregnancy brain?

Ha! I thought you were referring to Lucious being mad at the oldest son for marrying a white woman and becoming an accountant. But you can totally blame pregnancy brain. I still do and my youngest is four.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought the line referencing King Lear undercut any comparison to King Lear. It's only a superficial similarity as I remember Lear (which is not very well, I tend to conflate it with all the folktales featuring three daughters of king who asks them to prove their filial devotion but my point is in all of those it's the youngest daughter is all true and good and loving and in Empire I don't think we can say that about the sons).
Lion in Winter I don't so much know so I can't judge.
I have sorted a lot of laundry. Now I need to decide how much of it to actually wash because doing it all could take longer than I have available...
