POWER Book all seasons discussion thread (Power Book II: Ghost canceled )

[Give Me 3ft.]

yes the writing is filled with holes & silly shit.

it is however television. its damn near to the point

of me not watching any longer.

and what the hell is Dre doing? He helps Ghost get rid of Milan, but wont tell him about 50. Fuck is he scared of. Next time he see 50, just kill him. Whats gonna happen? Everybody already thinks he's dead, so who is gonna suspect Dre of killing him.

*Deep sigh*...Where to start...

Just like the rest of the episodes this season this show keeps circling down the soap opera drain.

Greg's death, while understood why it had to happen, was one of the stupidest scenes in TV. So you have an epiphany that the real person you are looking for is right in front of you and you reveal everything??? Like he wasn't going to off your ass? Hell, a few lines before Greg gets shot he told Mike he saw him coming out of Lobo's house to close up loose ends. He didn't think he would do the same to him? Then when Mike pulled the gun on him he gets on some "Wait, let's talk this out" shit???

Kanan was ready to put a bullet in the back of Tariq's head last week but now he catching a conscious? What is Kanan's role anyway? Seems to be just an added twist by the writers to keep the plot unpredictable but it just doesn't fit well.

Ghost and Angela.... c'mon man. Ghost finds out she was bustin that pussy open for her ex (whom by the way she tried to get fired) 5 minutes after they split but was still looking to get back with her after Milan was dead. And on the flip side what was the reason for Ghost fucking Tasha again? Simply because he was near by. Disclaimer: Not that I don't mind seeing Tasha's titties again.

Tommy able to flip Milan's men in 5 minutes?

And where the fuck is LaKeisha (La La)???

People going back to fuck their ex is kinda like real life especially after an emotionally tough breakup. A lot of people will do anything to nullify the pain.
Ghost fucking Tasha. It's his ex. Case closed.
But the show is trash, it is just once you get hooked then they got you. For me, I gave up on it but I do check to see what happened. I just don't wanna waste an hour looking at tge show then get angry. I am not a masochist.

 

[The Technician]

Terrible and completely predictable season finale. Shit ended the same way Empire ended last season, which is terrible. Since there's no way Ghost's finger prints are admissible (Proctor is going to tear that evidence up), we know he is going to get off on a technicallity, there is really nothing to look forward to next season.

Tommy is the boss of this Serbian crew now.... Really? Really? Really?

On another note, Ghost stay missing out on that rich white dollar at Truth because of criminal shit. They are rehashing the story and thinking we don't notice.

I'm disappointed.

 

[The Technician]

One more grievance....

So the only thing that was needed to realize that Sandoval was the leak was a call to the Federales (sp?) to confirm the source of the tip about Lobo's meeting? How the fuck did the major investigation into the leak not start at that point? Please correct me if I missed something here.

 

[pookie]

yeah there were bad parts in the writing but i enjoyed the episode/whole season

 

[DJCandle]

Sandoval took his beer

Just saw it.. Yup I missed that.

 

[Complex]

So did she become a New York cop or they were nice enough to let her borrow a squad car and uniform? Wasn't she a Sargent, so why isn't she living better? And she is leading a life of crime for what purpose?

The Milan killing waa too easy and corny

The dude who killed his own son with no remorse had regrets about Tariq

Knox didn't even confront him with a gun.

that pissed me off. If dude wanted to get back in Milans good grace, all he had to do was act like he was going along with Tommy and then put Milan on to the plan. Like i said, horrible writing.

Not just flip them but follow him

Why would they let Tommy run them when one of them could have taken over?

Man I was wondering why was everyone following him. So they weren't really following Milan, they were following the other dude and his whole crew was unhappy

So what is Tommy's end goal? Sell drugs forever?

and what the hell is Dre doing? He helps Ghost get rid of Milan, but wont tell him about 50. Fuck is he scared of. Next time he see 50, just kill him. Whats gonna happen? Everybody already thinks he's dead, so who is gonna suspect Dre of killing him.

This has never come close to making sense

So Dre thinks him and 50 will be cool after this?

 

[fwillia]

Plotholes galore on this show.

For one, Angela knows there is another leak inside the department, did it never occur to her that they're the one who killed Knox and framed him?

Doesn't make sense

She's not trying to clear his name, she's trying to find out who killed him...but she wouldn't think they could be connected

and why wouldn't she just ask Jamie what she's thinking?

 

[TENT]

This season was really lame and the worst so far. Nothing really progressed or got deeper. They dragged out one main storyline for the entire season which was "The Return of Kanan". I thought it would have been more complex and Kanan was building and army. Kanan doesn't seem that smart or cunning anymore.

His cousin is the one that came up with the "kipnapping" plan.

 

[TENT]

Thank you.
Then the fact that she should have told Jamie that Greg was dead when they were in the restaurant.
Bad writers make that mistake of a character holding back information for the sake of drama.
In the real world Angie would have told Jamie that Greg was dead asap.

[Mack1052]

Eh

 

[yaBoi]

meh....not what i expected

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

Eh

Don't give them that much credit

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

Even the way Ghost offered no real resistance when Angela was cuffing him

 

[cnc]

Yeah this shit left me disappointed as fuck.

Milan thinks/moves 3 steps ahead the whole season, only to be taken out by Ghost/Tommy and Dre's street crew? GTFOH.

Lil St. Patrick been out in the streets all night and missing school, yet no one has put a tail on his ass and his lil sis only reveals his new "friend" in the last episode of the season?

WTF happened to the grandmother and baby? They both got Julie Winslow'ed?

Did we ever find out WTF happened to Kisha?

I found myself losing respect for Ghost as a character towards the end of this season; got the heart of a killer but still can't realize that the pussy he let in his life fucked his spot up and is still trying to get the bitch back when clearly she's moved on and was fucking another dude.

They diminished the characters value without a payoff/reason.

Obviously Ghost can't always win so I understand adversity but they've devalued the character for no reason.

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

so ghost didn't have gloves on? really? that nigga always got gloves on

He had them on but took one off for no reason.

No because you're dealing with a bitter emotional female. She really made me sick with everything. I want her dead.

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

No because you're dealing with a bitter emotional female. She really made me sick with everything. I want her dead.

That makes the writing even worse though.

She's bitter and emotional yet rational enough to go to Knox's apartment and go directly to the window (and knows to go out in the fire escape to dust the outside for prints.)

This all after an FBI agent is killed and their entire team is at the apartment collecting evidence but only she finds his prints afterwards.

It was just rushed, lazy writing IMO.

 

[yaBoi]

He had them on but took one off for no reason.

yeah i deleted that post...i went back and looked

no way he would have took a glove off for any reason

more bad writing

Very lazy writing. I think 50 is only there because it's "his" show, but everything about this last episode was sloppy.

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

But even his character served some purpose and added something last season.

But I knew they fucked up when he wasn't killed off after being set on fire

And his characters story arc has been a waste this season IMO and his character is wortless at this point.

He already killed his own son and lost to ghost, what was left after that?

Had they actually killed Ghosts son this last episode it would have been a great set up for both Tasha and Ghosts storylines.

But this bootleg Mel Gibson "Ransom" storyline will just fall flat.

 

[slewdem100]

Watching it now...the end of Knox was foolishness...you mean to tell me he didn't know enough to play the unsuspecting role and get that dude out of his apartment...soap opera-ish

 

[TENT]

He was being smart and keeping his cool. He didn't want to make himself look undignified.
That was one of the few things they got right!

Even the way Ghost offered no real resistance when Angela was cuffing him

Right.....ole boy had a beer with him; the feds never found that and dusted for prints......

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

Nah I'm not talking physically.

With all the game we've seen him run on her throughout this show, and all the times we've seen him get her to accept far worse, all he can come up with is some "but baby......." shit when she's cuffing him.

 

[D'Evils]

So Angela has a key to Greg's apartment who she was also just happens to be sleeping with after filing sexual harassment claims against him.

Goes in after the FBI cleared the scene and finds Her Ex-Lover's fingerprints by herself with no witnesses.

What good lawyer wouldn't have these charges tossed out immediately?

So now we have to believe that after all the things Ghost has done and Angela turned a blind eye to, that Greg's death was her breaking point.

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

What was up with Angie going to Greg's crib and then leaving like 60 seconds later when Ghost just so happens to be there?

 

[ScottyPiffen745]

This felt more like a treading water type of season. They used the fact that certain characters don't know shit they should know to stretch out the story too much.

And they made everybody un-likable, especially Ghost. It's hard to root for anybody except maybe Tasha.

 

[D'Evils]

What was up with Angie going to Greg's crib and then leaving like 60 seconds later when Ghost just so happens to be there?

My question is why is she not the prime suspect in his death?

From the FBI point of view Angela would have the easiest access and most motive to frame and have Greg killed if they were investigating a inside leak.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Alot of bitching and complaining... 3 pages worth. Lemme check it out...
