POWER Book all seasons discussion thread (Power Book II: Ghost canceled )
why did the agent that works for Lobos let him get arrested?
How about this... Ghost is merking other cats ninja style, and then when it comes to Kanan he gets lazy. How about not getting rid of Lobos?
Tommy ass is more than dumb, but that is bad writing. All it took was for her to come back and he believes her after she told him she talked to the feds.
I can go on and on. SHit is a major disappointment. I am done with the show. Nothing worse than lazy writing.
peace
...right in front of the killa nigga who clapped him in the stomach with the slincer off to his face; you KNOW he was about to be on some "Help, My Dad shot me!?!" shit.
DWade was begging to get the gun taken from him & shot off the scent of that pussy & raising his 'cousins.'
Probabaly all of the above^^^^....
Y'all know that 'gotta doo doo' face, screwed up scowlhe had on when he had the gun to Ghost's head trying to act tough as the real reason y'all started
Been watching too much of that EverythingWrongWith____ uToob series where kat talks shit about the holes/sins in flicks
{like Angela getting mad @ anything & not thinking Greg was gonna be all up her ass a cop; just the whole role of Tasha when she's not on her consignerie shit - I'd rather see DebbieMorgan/her Moms' perspective on shit, Tommy not having his own lawyer, etc...}
I don't expect too much as after all, its Starz; just gotta take the bad acting & silly shit with the good
You definitely right. I remember when I saw that crazy over exagerrated scowl, I just shook my head and laughed. I was like, who told him on the set to do that.
ep got posted on BGOL early- you know where to find it* POWER. 9 p.m. Saturday, Starz.
Did the season finale for tonight already leak or something?

Yeah Rivercity put it up. The link's working now...thanks!!
In some ways I disagree... The other Dudes he killed, were business, Kanaan was personal. It becomes cliche to walk up and shoot a person, so for me, the fight scene was apropos.
As far as Tommy, not killing Lobos, etc., there had to be meat and storylines for the next season. Tommy stays loyal, Lobos is killed, everyone else is killed, what more do you have?
For me, they did an excellent job setting up next season:
-Angela is back which has all sorts of directions that can take
-Greg is pissed, so now, you set up a war between him, Ghost and Angela
-Tommy's turn is very interesting because 1) I don't believe he was really committed to turning on Ghost and 2) Now he has to really decide between Ghost, Holly(and the dog
)-The last swerve was finding out the lead FBI Dude was actually on Lobos' payroll!
Theres a lot of story line in here to set up a potentially great Season 3!
EXACTLY
So many loop holes in that finale.
No one of significance was killed. Minus Stern and the club, there was no resolution whatsoever.

Yeah i dnt think he will kill ghost either... but now i think he understands why ghost wanted lobos dead! I also didnt know about the fbi agent.. straight caught me off guard! But i think he needed to b locked up to keep him away from the other cartels that were after him!
Right, she was flirting but DIDN'T cheat, she never even touched the boy, as I said earlier, if she cheated then every married man who sets foot in a strip club could be considered "cheating", when D Wade actually pushed up she shut him down, I'm not saying that she wasn't scandalous, nor that after Ghost told her what he wanted to do she showed just how Ghetto she was in not wanting better (by Ghost going legit) for her family, but let's be clear, Ghost cheated FIRST!!!
Apologized for this earlier, I crossed "Power" with "Empire" since Tasha Smith is in both, my mistake!

this show will never be great, too much lazy writing.. Kanan being alive is soap opera shit...
Tommy flipping isn't an issue as much as him being ok with staying with a snitch... 1 episode after that strong scene with the mom n lawyer letting everyone know how thorough he is? that is bullshit
Sean's body being found? gtfoh - last ep dudes had power saws etc ready for ghost but can't get rid of sean properly?
Lobos surviving - well shit happens...
My problem is we're going into a 3rd season and Ghost will have the same core enemies, and the same core allies from S1, aint nothing really changed - no growth or development
Tasha ain't going no where can't do shit but scheme
Tommy aint going to fuck w/ Lobos... cause Tommy knows he is dead unless he can put together new wholesalers... He and Ghost have to work together to pull that off - so they still in it together or they die.
fuk that... she wasn't just flirting -what she did was cheating... that playing with herself in front of Sean? comparing that to a strip club is just illogical
I mistakenly crossed the two because actress Tasha Smith is in both, she plays Cookie's sister on "Empire" and is, excuse me, WAS Sean's Mom on "Power" and knows Tasha (Ghost's wife) as well, I crossed her being Cookie's sister as her being Tasha"s sister, again, my mistake.
And I was going by the Commandments, as in "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" in terms of cheating, but technically, going by what's in one's heart can be as well, but still as I said it would apply to any and all married man in a strip club, no?
Double standard bruh, women can not only get naked in front of men but rub their asses and titties on them (leaving DNA mind you) and it's NOT cheating, vs dude having to look in a rear view mirror to see what she was doing in the back seat while he was driving being considered as cheating?!?
You can't have one w/o the other, either BOTH are or neither one is, I can give you Tasha disloyal absolutely, but w/o even the possibility of any sort of DNA swap, you'd be hard-pressed to prove cheating!
Kanan being alive is some soap opera ish, after Ghost stabbed him and he collapsed I could understand Ghost thinking he was dead, especially after he poured gasoline directly on him.
Keep in mind that she snitched on Ghost, NOT on Tommy, but as said earlier, did he just forget that she left him cuffed to the bed?!?
Sean's body being found only fits if Dre was actually playing Kanan and wanted his body found, which seems to be the case since Dre is now with Ghost.
How is Lobos now trying to kill Ghost not a significant development, further, how don't we know that either Drifty's, or more importantly the Serbs might either figure out what Ghost did or still try to take him out anyway for the earlier hit against them, remember that they wanted to kill Ghost but 50 said it would be taken care of?!?
Ghost actually has LESS allies now and created another enemy in Stern, who was a frenemy before.
And now Tasha, as crazy as it might sound, probably will align with Kanan, you already know Kanan's gonna play the "Ghost killed my son!" card since that's what Tasha thinks now anyway.
Tasha will end up killing Angie.
Seeing how Tommy gets out from under Lobos will be the story next season.
stop it - you are equivocating. That is a very illogical argument
making the choice to look at naked bodies/ get lapdances - as a married male or female
vs.
a married person choosing to masturbate in front of a member of the opposite sex that isn't their spouse
I know you see there is no comparison there...
she was morally wrong and if a PI observed / recorded a married person male or female masturbating in front of someone thats not their spouse, they would be crucified in divorce court.
I had couple of issues with the final episode also. I would have thought Tommy getting locked up would have changed his mind about leaving the business and going legit. Thought Season 3 would show him having trouble adjusting to a clean life.
Why did Ghost off everyone else but have Luis leave town? He was the biggest snake of the group so why leave him alive?
Holly came back too early. Would have like to have her come back later in season 3 after everything comes down.
I'm ok with Canan still being alive, but they should have wrote a better way to keep him in. I'm not buying him breaking of a building surrounded by fire laying in a pool of his blood.

I am so disappointed
Yeah. I was going to quote the two that you quoted, but you summed it up nicely.

Shit threw me off when he sneaked in giving him the phone to make his call, but thinking back to how sweet he got on him in spanish it started making sense. When he got transferred from Cali, how he acted, how he dresses...the clues were there that he was the birdie Lobos talked about.
sorry man...I got ya PM like 30 minutes ago...hopefully you found the link way before I sent it to you
that went completely over my head...I'm have to rewatch that...when he called him jefe I thought he was being sarcastic...like look you just got stabbed...you have no choice now but to cooperate...wow totally missed that
curious to see if tommy links up w/ kanan next season...might not happen tho since tommy did double-cross him...wonder how hard tasha is gonna come @ ghost since she's "positive" he killed dwade...also wonder if we see la la ass instead of her titties next season
Lobos was always a threat...
Tommy isn't going to get from under Lobos
The only way for Ghost and Tommy to survive Lobos now as before is to stay in business...
Same problem they had before... cause Lobos was in trouble with the cartels since the story began and needed $$ thats where ghost saw an opportunity to elevate but it was always danger vs opportunity gift / curse.
I swear if Kanan is back in the first 3 eps of next season, I'll stop watching.
Stern was all enemy all the time... he's a shark that thought ghost was a guppy
same allies same enemies - Tasha was always a liability, ghost just didn't know it.
NOW THAT THE SEASON IS OVER I CAN SPEAK FREELY!!
Yeah, as smooth as Ghost is he looked like he couldn't fight for shit. In some instances this dude is like Denzel and Equalizer, and other times hes like a little kid trying to fight his brother. And Kanan, for a cat thats been locked up and stewing in revenge he should have beaten him down more when he had him down.
That Ghost-Kanan scene was too damn cartoony

Might be having trouble separating reality and TV.
Women have the power.
The main problem in Tommy and Holly's relationship was Ghost.
The main problem in Ghost and Angela's relationship was Tommy.
Since Tommy and Ghost aren't partners anymore, they can be with their women like how they want to be (in theory).
Which leads me to believe that Knox will take out Angela, and Lobos will take out Holly, and eventually Tommy and Ghost will be partners again. Probably after Kanan takes out Dre.

Tommy is not not the main problem between angela and ghost
Lobos was a threat because he's crazy, having a man that wants to make money but is crazy is different than having a man that's crazy and hell bent on killing you.
Almost the same thinking applies to Stern, he (as well as Lobos) wanted Jamie working FOR him, they are now both working 100% AGAINST him.
(Think of how Stalin worked with the US to achieve his goal, then think of what happened AFTER he achieved that goal and switched to becoming a full enemy)
Tasha was indeed a liability (AFTER Ghost decided to go legit, which is where he is now, so she would've been done one way or the other), but is also savvy about the drug business and displayed this talent when needed, I still feel that in some way she will hook up with Kanan.
(wondering if his "bankruptcy" has anything to do with his surviving?!?)
Also possible that cartel might come after Ghost for the frame up, but that's more me spitballing a storyline.
Read what you wrote, in BOTH instances you have married people making a decision to do something sexually with someone that's NOT their spouse, if I'm equivocating here then you're simply rationalizing in the opposite direction, how you can say that a person that is masturbating, which by definition is "one stimulating one's OWN genitalia" is cheating yet a person who is having their genitalia stimulated by ANOTHER person, which is a definition for sex, is not?
Going by your thinking, I can understand why many women feel that if their man/husband masturbates to porn, he is cheating on her.
Moving past that, since this isn't what Ghost did it doesn't apply anyway, if peeps want to feel that she cheated first then fine, she did, but it still doesn't change what Ghost did or the moves he made since he didn't know that any of that happened, Ghost moved on to Angela because Ghost never moved on from Angela, he actually settled for Tasha, he told us this himself when he explained why he married Tasha, while love had its place it was more because she was a ride or die chick, nothing else.
