BMF-ers

YEP. Lets slide on the D….Detroit ya filthy animals. So after skipping the first season as myalogists know i am wont do to, lets start here. Meech: is a one man leadership Team now that Terry is fully part of a transportation company with his dumb ass daddy (more on him later) and HE’S A DADDY! Him and KashDoll done made a cute lil girl!!! YAY! One person who I do not think will be happy about this is Lamar, Kash’s first baby daddy who we were lead to believe was dead at the end of last season. But nope…here he is, nearly dead, but with enough strength to incapacitate an able bodied policeman, slip out a hospital unnoticed whilst leaving a trail of blood, stagger down the road in a hospital gown in the rain, and hey, I guess you cant stop the rain and the rain cant stop his ass either, before running into his cousin, a mortician. Cuzzo rehabs him, and lets him steal a dead man’s shoes before, attempting to end Meech, who was on his way to a set up meet designed by Cop Harris to bring him down. The hospital is a great deal better than prison. Meech’s other storyline deals with his new plug “K9” – a ruthless assed mofo who cut the mouth off of the last plug. This week he wants Meech to bring a rival to him alive…a rival that is fucking his old lady…but that aint the reason. Like most civilized peole K9 dont like loud mouthy people. So he sets Meech out to bring his rival back to him – alive – and meech can get the duji…oops wrong show and time period….the dope. Meech gets the drop on him, and a shoot out follows which leaves the prize lifeless. Meech returns the body to K9 who tells him he needs to learn to follow directions and their businesss has now concluded. Terry: can we talk about him yall? Like this boy does alot of shit to still be in high school. Like really, Charles? You gonna be talking corporate strategy with your son and then tell him to do his home work? Terry is at least 40 yrs old, the jig is up. Terry is all into the car business, innovating new procedures and practices, as well as being all up into the artist formerly known as lala aka TAFKAL. I always hear tales of men talking bout how when they lost their virginity they were 12 and the woman was 27 and I always wanna barf..who are these women and who hurt yall? Thats predatory AF and TAFKAL is a grown married woman with children playing girlfriend to a high school, I hope – senior. On to the show, Terry made a powerful enemy out of a man who runs the airport bidness and gets one of the car company’s car’s tires slashed. Denise, who recently joined the company is down for a little street retribution and her and Terry sugar the tanks like the bad bitches they are and fuck with the brakes on airport boss’s car. They follow him one night and the brakes fail…the car and him, as him and his big brother pull his ass out the car and beat the brakes off of him. Problem solved, right? The Flenory’s: man if charles dont get his bitch ass outta here…done went and fixed someone else’s home while your home looking like the before on an HGTV show, and got the nerve to dance with the whore. Now I know ya old lady done confided in pastor Big Wig and that seemed to be a bridge too far, but like Lucille said, he is a man of God and posed to be their spiritual leader and if opening a credit card in your daughters name and buying a maxi negligee that got all our grannie’s bills paid aint helping, maybe a word from the passa will…spoiler alert: it did not. Charles done threatened Passa Big Wig to stay out his bidness, a request that has been granted for now. Find a new place for them adult mags, nicka! BMick and The Cop: man if bmick dont kill this fool soon. Isnt it great how fucked up we are AS A PEOPLE (my fave phrase ever), just like Andre on Snowfall, we hear how a policeman is bemoaning the deterioration of their community and we be like FUCK DA POLICE…i love us forreal. But seriously….the cop be sneaking up like a god damn whisper in the wind…there to light b’s squares and everything! Like dont you have a home? A wife? A bitch? ANY DAMNED THING? He puts the screws on bmick to have him lure meech to a meet where he will promptly be arrested. The cop watches from afar, waiting for bmick to lead meech to the meet, when bmick jumps out the car like he is making a phone call…not sure what he wanted the outcome of that to be, but its enough time for Lamar to roll up and blast meech….the Flenory family will yet again be praying for one of their own to make it out alive….which spoiler alert, according to many good homies in the A, he does. Whatchall think? Lucille gonna give it up to Pastor Big Wig? Charles gonna keep dancing with Ms. Parker? Is Lala gonna become a sexual predator? Lets all tune in next week and find out!

Kanan Concepts 1.5

imma say this….and I just want you to hear me out. Knowing that Kanan killed his own son, I don’t find it a stretch to believe that Raq is gonna murk Marvin. And ill be here with money on her books if she do. He is THEE worst. He gets sonned regularly by his little sister. His little brother took him down on the pavement and laughed at his chick being clapped down by some other nakers. His daughter don’t like him and his nephew don’t respeck him. If this naker don’t get his own “who shot marvin” storyline like Jamie, I’d be gobsmacked. So just when I was wondering why we have to keep visiting the doctor with Officer Epps, kanans bloody snot rag appeared on his desk and the clouds parted….of course kanan is his son. Why else would we give a fuck bout this dude? No reason I could think of, but hey….Ive always liked Omar so Im glad he’s still working. Speaking of clouds parting, how Famous don’t know Jukeboxx is gay? I mean I guess we all dressed like nakers back in the day, but we aint carry ourselves like them. Juke is a dude. A dude that got her lil black ass heart broken and threatened to be exposed as a rapist…damn Karen! Thats a bit much, your lil karen jr was a willing participant. Im surprised it took yall all this time to kick in the door. Kudos on not being a typical white mama….wasnt NO doors being closed in my black ass house, but at least you entered without knocking. Poor Chad was lost but Im sure you got him up to speed and put some starch on his chinos when he found out his lil girl was put the L in the LGBTQIA+. Poor juke, but maybe, just maybe I won’t have to hear her sing for the 6th episode in a row. Raq is building a mini Carter, I like her style. I just wanna know why they didn’t cast the actual Jimmie Walker under the Save Elvin From Whole Foods Act, to play the project dude – especially since dude looked like him. that woulda been awesome. Her dumb ass brother gonna sit up and ask her when her and kanan moving in there. man somebody put a bullet in this fool for all of our sakes. Jesus he is stupid. Kanan, kanan, kanan, we learned so much about you this ep. Firstly, you are a virgin. Second Davina Greenleaf fucked you without a kiss….she got you going against your cousin and you aint even smelt it yet. Thirdly, you are a Leo….shoulda known. Fourthly, you cant fight, like most adult bullies. Fiftly, you don’t listen. You wanna be grown and have all this responsibility, but you cant follow directions. I don’t know what your mama is thinking teaching you how to cook crack, but we all know it aint gonna end well for you. Line of the episode: we shake hands when we negotiate, we throw hands when we renegotiate. #TEAMRAQ If you read this first, click here for last week’s installment which I wrote five minutes before this.

Kanan Concepts 1.4

its a twofer! when I get done writing this Imma write the next one so click the link at the bottom, myalogists! So I was just gonna do a brain dump on this but when I discussed it with my intended, he said this episode had a theme: Desperation. Upon further review, he was right. Before we get to that tho, I would like to give Unique his flowers for all his dapper dan gear. but I will take back one lone gangsta rose, cuz he was so desperate for revenge that he tortured his boy for no reason. He sat up there and tore his boys ear off and killed him and then turned around and said he knew Raq was behind his shipment being snatched, HUH? He literally told his boy the glass dick got them into this shit, and then said this shit got Raq name all over it, BOI O BOY the power writers never fail us, do they. Then his desperation led him to put stepped on dope out on the street, the fiends are not gonna be happy with this decision. White publicist lady is desperate if Marvin is the best dick she can get. And she begging that wack ass naker to cuddle with her….ugh. AND he repo’d her dog….granted she wasn’t taking care of it, but that aint the point! She went from Symphony to marvin who don’t even get a capital M in his name from me. What a fucking loser, the both of them. Speaking of lil big brother….his desperation led him allll amok this ep. Scooters bubble guts left him so desperate that he had NO other viable option than Kanan to assist him in moving the stash. Then when they spot got blown up by Unique’nem, this dumbass got so desperate that he found he had NO other viable option than to ram his car into the back of niq’s van and then found out after that didn’t work that he had NO other viable option than to shoot them THRU his window. SIGH. He then goes and finds niq’s one remaining boy bout to shoot his nephew and this time truly had NO OTHER VIABLE OPTION than to kill dude. His desperation leads him to try to hide all this from Raq, by finishing the move and letting his nephew clean up the mess. Jukeboxx whose portrayer very clearly went to the Kerry Washington School of Facial Acting, is so desperate for studio time and white puss that she engages in boosting and sitting up in them good white peoples house eating there bland spaghetti and their bland daughter. I did find myself wondering why she was boosting when her family has money but the next scene answered it, her daddy is a moron and a hater. Raq, my sweet beautiful Raq, is so desperate, only at times, to try and save her son that she puts him in her dicks class – damn that’s cold Raq. what’s the age difference on them nakers? cant be more than 10 years, but hey…..just like another beautiful single mama, she gotta have a life too. random desperations: Davina green leaf so desperate to get her mama back, she done sold out the gang. Crown Combs seems desperate for some mid Latina too. kanan so desperate to be a bad guy that he hides a blood stained shirt under his bed. Im so deseperate to not hear jukebox sing again what yall think? click here for episode 5 recap! see yall next week! ][

Powerful Thoughts 6.15 – The Grand(less) Finale.

Well we’ve reached the end of the line kiddos…kinda. And what a ride it was. Remember Lobos – how funny he was? Remember when they used to have hot sex scenes on this show? Remember Shawn and his dumb ass face? Remember Milan and his bespoke suits? Remember when they made Jamie an alcoholic and he killed that drunk driver? Remember the first time you heard Big Rich Town? Remember the first AUSA, nah, me neither. Anyhoo…during my reflection on this show, I realized that most issues could have been solved if someone just shared the tiniest bit of information, like say um, if some shithead kid woulda said “mom, I blackmailed Saxe into blaming dre for dad’s killing” instead of “its cool, I handled it, go to bed”, we would have never been treated to the sight of Tasha sans wig, but Courtney Kemp and her writing team have a love/hate relationship with their fawning public and a fervent need to remind us that “Power never Dies” or “Power never Ends” or whatever. So lets get into this final Power recap. Whooooo lawd this finale sucked ass. I dont think we needed to be treated to alternate versions of scenes like Tommy going to kill Tasha or Dre threatening her at the day care, or the Elisa Marie diner scene – we’ve seen these ad nauseum at this point. I will concede that it was interesting was thatOne thing I did take note of and with this show, im not sure if its lazy writing or brilliant, to have Jamie turn into……*cue dark music* BOY THIS NIGGA HERE HAD SOME ONE LINERS! “….and stop selling drugs.” “…tasha green, the half smart chicken head who’d still be in the hood if it wasnt for me.” “…and I cant believe you got your sister killed” “nigga how many times you lied to me?” “….very disappointed in you….again.” He was so purposely evil, it didnt even seem like the same person we’d grown to love/hate/lust after and I wondered if that was how he really talked to folks or if that was there perception of him. One thing I do know is that in that Tommy/Ghost death scene, my ears heard and my eyes saw (thru the magic of closed captioning, which I cannot watch teevee without), that he said “let HIM go.” We all know who him is now. Now on to the second pic of this recap…..which we will be using to describe plots points as weak as…… Tasha’s Edges Her fear that Ghost running for office would expose them all. Hasnt Ghost been investigated to death already? Dre gives Tariq the gun BEFORE he takes him to Truth cuz Tariq is so trustworthy. Tasha just got proof of Lakeisha’s duplicity on the kitchen table. The whole Tariq goes to school/teacher selling drugs thing ….that nigga dont go to school. A security guard just gonna ask Tariq if he knows anything bout a teacher selling drugs…yeah okkkkkk. THE ENTIRE Q RELATIONSHIP When it happen? How long its been going on? Why it happen? Why was she shocked to see him with a gun? Why she need to be there fucking dude when the cops came a knocking? Why they drive past a very visible Truth? Why Tasha tell him she knew a short cut when they’d past Truth 45 minutes prior? Does Truth have not ONE security camera? Does Truth have not ONE locking door? Tariq just gonna change his murder clothes at Truth with sirens blaring? And why did he leave said clothes and his bookbag AT Truth in a fucking garbage can with Saxe and Det Rosie Perez RIGHT THERE TO SEE HIM? Why would a person trade away their shares to a club in exchange for a college education that he clearly could have gotten without trading away a financial future? How in the ENTIRE FUCK could Saxe be welcomed back into office, Mak’s cosign notwithstanding. HOW does a married woman get NOTHING? I could go on with the Tasha’s Edges Plot Points, but why? TARIQ KILLED HIS FATHER That’s really all you need to know. Myalogy Minutes: Soon as I saw Q in the credits, I knew how this was gonna play out. Oooh look, Tariq in a durag – he’s a tough lil gangsta aint he? Tariq: just dont hang her off a buildingTommy: thats just for family. I FUCKING HEART TOMMY. If Pink Panther dont get her ass up outta here in that fugly assed suit. Werent the feds supposed to leave Jamie alone after that whole wrongful murder conviction? These people have never heard of the state of Illinois if they think holding political office will shield you from the long arm of the law. Here this lil bitch goes with the “you confess dad” why does he think he’s entitled to know his parents past misdeeds? why he aint mad at his mama like he’s mad at his dad? NIGGA YOU AINT EVEN KNOW BREEZE…chill your balls, lil one. Who else was hoping for Ghost to dogwalk Tariq just one time for our minds? How Tasha get her keys back to Ghosts whip? Q – like Paz – should have known better than to have a gun just laying or is it lying around when he has a true toddler in his home? Tariq displayed some smarts by not texting his mother a murder plot. 50 and them day glo chiclet teefus just had to show up, didnt he? GHOST? How your son gonna go on the campaign trail with you when he’s in prison, make it make sense WRITERS. Ghost shoulda tackled that fool soon as he saw that gun. All this agita cuz Tariq’s daddy left his mother for another woman. What the fuck was Saxe doing at Truth? Do we REALLY have to suffer thru Saxe trying to take Tariq down in the BOOK OF GHOST? So Jamie had time to include Paz in his will, but not

Powerful Thoughts 6.14 – The Tate Brothers

I waited #24 hours to write and post this out of respect to one of the greatest to ever do it….Kobe – and all the others who perished, you will be missed. Larenz got LAHmaRD or whatever his name is, a job. A job where their probably real life dynamic played out. The blessed older brother clashes with the workhorse younger brother. A stretch if ever one existed. Thanks for reading, thats it. God Bless. Kidding..kind of. Upon first viewing of this ep, I thought it was another wasted opportunity, kinda like Paz, but with more investment, cuz we’ve been watching Alderman Larenz do his thing for a couple seasons now. Howsinever, I watched – for the first time – Power Confidential, where they essentially told me, explained a couple things, like how powerful Larenz’s performance was. Which led me to re-watch and I agree. I love Larenz Tate and why he doesnt get more flowers, Im confused about. One of our earliest scenes is with Ceddy Bear and his son Ceddy Bear Jr getting their literal Shylock (look it up) on by securing a pound of flesh from a child molester, who they soon go on to kill. They soon get a call from Larenz asking for the Ceddy Bears to come kill Ghost. They happily accept! This ep finds Alderman Larenz and his requisite Black Man Hoodie on the run! He goes to see Lorette, goes to the Church House of the On The Take Reverend. He goes to meet with the Ceddy Bears to get them to stop the hit on Ghost after a visit from Det. Rosie Perez, who wants to work with Larenz to jail Ghost. The meeting with the killers doesnt go as planned, as Ceddy Bear Sr was all “I aint ride all the way up here listening to Charlie Pride for no damn reason. Either we kill the target or we kill you.” Seems like a pretty easy choice. We then get treated to the full scope of the warehouse shooting. Ceddy wasnt working for the EYEtalians…he was freelancing! And got killed for all his trouble, which sends Ceddy Bear Jr (CBJ) on a murderous mission. All this time, for some reason, Larenz is staying with his brother, earnest NYPD Cop, KaHMaRD and his family after a drunken night. This is where CBJ catches up with Larenz and gives the big villian speech about killing Larenz and why and why the caged bird sings and what Tribe is saying on Electric Relaxation, before KaHMaRD gets the drop on him and sends him to see his daddy. Awww, I love family reunions. Oh, I forgot to mention him swinging by Truth to give Jamie the heads up about the hitters coming his way, which Jamie HILARIOUSLY rebuffs. “You bitch ass just dont know when to quit,” Jamie tells him and one squirt of pee came out as I laughed at that line. Ahem….So Alderman Larenz and Cop KaHMaRD are going to report the shooting, which was clean as far as the cops are concerned, when little brother gives big brother the speech he probably wanted to give his whole entire real and acting life. He tells him how lucky he is and how things have always worked out for him and it occurs to me that any one of these characters could be talking to Ghost. I wondered if thats what drew them to each other. Ghost always wins….until this whole getting murdered thing. After leaving the police station, KaHMaRD gets a call about a shooting at Truth where they learn of a fatality. Larenz is shook as he just paid Dre to go kill Ghost and its looking like thats what happened. He gets interviewed on scene and gives a rousing speech that his prompts a “this nigga” look from his brother, who can smell the bullshit a mile away. He later gets a visit from Lorette and the DNC guy who offer to make him LT. Gov in the wake of Ghosts death and he laughs in their faces….the DNC now needs him, he dont need the DNC. Its GOVERNOR or nothing. DNC agrees. Alderman Larenz gets the nom and gives a rousing Obama like speech. NEW YORK LEADS THE WAY! Myalogy Minutes: Larenz looked like he came on himself when Det. Perez came and said she wanted to work with him to take down James. That coffee shop bukkake scene was some mess. The Return of Stern! I LOVE TO SEE IT. It was nice to see him get back at both Ramona and Curly Head Light Skin. He straight told her to get her shit and try to catch Ramona. LOL I’d like to mention the part where he learns dre has been killed in jail, but I saw it so long ago, I cant remember where that falls in the ep, but yes, he learns Dre was killed in jail, which clears the way for him to get to Albany. So here we are, at the end of the line, with only one ep of our show left. MY PREDICTION: Tariq shoots him, Tasha arrives and snatches the gun from her son, just in time for Tommy to look up and see her holding it, which prompts his angry reaction. Whatchall Think?

Powerful Thoughts 6.13 Let it go or Let her go?

Hey Kiddos, we are in the final stretch here, with two episodes to go before Aunt Mary and Zaddy Meth pick up the mantle and give us whatever Courtney Kemp has left to give in Power 2: Book of Ghost. But wait, before we do, lets send off my favorite white boy and yours, Thomas Patrick Egan Teresi in a right proper way – One befitting of all his cold ass outwear looks he served over the years. BUT, and its a Kardashian sized one, before we start what did Ghost say when Tommy came to share his final moments with him? Let it go? or Let HER go? Quite different outcomes here. Some eagle eared (is that a thing) viewers heard let HER go, while some hearing deficient viewers (HEY MYA HEY) watched with the captions on (NOT THIS TIME FOR ME) and read LET IT GO. Based upon the spoiler 50 gifted us with and some frantic ass posters shared, im thinking it was let HER go, but im not a losing attention seeker, so I wont be sharing what I think was said here, but hey….its out there is you want to spoiler a show you’ve spent 6.5 years watching. Back to Tommy….. We open the show seeing what happened to poor Uncle Benny – he’s compacted in the ambulance that Holly – and I was wondering why she was in the opening “PREVIOUSLY ON POWER” – suggested Tommy get to launder his money. He then goes to see his mother prompting me to write in my notes “SHUT THE FUCK UP KATE,” which I will find myself saying many times throughout this ep. Elisa Marie: unfortunately for us, this plot line is indicative of the corner the show painted Tommy in. I really dont care about her and as evidenced by her Aunt leaving her when she said she didnt want to be alone and the body guards that mysteriously disappeared after Vincent was killed, but Tommy was still on the loose, no one else does either. What’s interesting to me, is that, after all Tommy did to her, killing her father and her uncle, kidnapping her, subjecting her to Kate’s white girl braids, telling her the truth bout her frand Tariq, shit talking her bout her dad, for some reason, she frees him. Somebody gotta make that shit make sense to me because at current, it absolutely does not. And them bonding over their junky moms aint gonna do it. HE KILLED HER FATHER. PeriodT. Also, what aint gonna do it for me, is the structure of these final eps….how much more stress would you have felt for Tasha when Tommy rolled up on her with the truth about LaKeisha’s death if you didnt know that she lived to show up at Trust Attorney Elvin’s office. There was no benefit to that scene knowing she lived. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And so what ends up happening to our boy after dropping Elisa Marie off? Im not really sure because the timeline is kinda effed up to me. However, I do know that he went to Truth to tell his bruddah he loved him and to possibly kill his killer, only to be stopped by a bloodied Ghost, which says to me, the killer has to be someone he cares about, cuz I doubt he would stop Tommy from killing Saxe or anyone other than Tasha or Tariq. His next stop was off to Kate’s, who again prompted me to write SHUT THE FUCK UP KATE. Telling your own flesh and blood who you just asked for an 8ball how they aint shit is some Trump level parenting (to his sons, not his lover Ivanka). I mean how much longer is that money gonna last, Kate? You will be looking up your son in LA in no time flat. The final shot of our boy, in that Rick Owens jogger, riding off in his blue bitch that was restored to greatness by his brother, left me dropping one lone gangsta tear. Myalogy Minutes: Does anyone other than my deaf ass need the captions to discover what TwoBit is saying at any given time? EM knows bout proof of life, but cant tell her buddy Tariq is a liar. Tommy in LA is a show I would def watch. At least we know Tariq wants his father to die at his hands loves his father enough to not sell him out to the Italians. Why would Aunt Bennie think a 17 yr old she never met would be capable of the things his rotten 17 yr old ass certainly is capable of? I mean we know Tariq, but she dont. And how she know the back door was left unlocked and everything else she confronted him with? Tommy goes to Truth during the campaign event and lo and behold, TRUTH DOES HAVE SECURITY! Wow, whodathunkit? WTF IS GOING ON WITH GHOSTS HAIRLINE? Ced the Entertainer is a hitta for the Italians. OKAY. Power: Revenge of Paz’s Funky Bubble Coat. Tariq and his reasons for wanting to kill Ghost are so fucking immature. He lied. SO FUCKING WHAT KID. You lie too. Kill the villain soliloquies…just shoot the mofo and stop telling them WHY you are killing them. Spotswood caught that capital L right to the eye. Speaking of Spotswood, why was he just walking round eating hohos and drinking strawberry quick? PROTECTIVE CUSTODY ANYONE? Courtney, nice throwback to Kill Bill dialog about EM coming to find Tommy when she grows up, like The Bride told Vivica’s kid…and by nice, i mean lazy. I be too lost at times, maybe I should watch Power Confidential, but only if Terrence J aint in them silky rayons everyweek. MINI SPOILER ALERT: Tommy was on the radio here in Chicago, over the weekend and said that the killers name starts with T – Tate, Tasha, Tariq. Whatchall think?

Powerful Thoughts 6.12 – Paz Be Still

Seriously Paz, be still. Stopping running all over town with a gun in your bag, in a big ass coat that gotta have you stankin, making ugly faces….shits unseemly, b. WHOA. After such a phenomenal mid season debut, we have this fucking stinker of an episode. I dont even know where or more importantly why to start this recap, but I should warn you, if you liked it, just gone and share this post and leave, cuz this aint for you. “Am I gonna get to go back to school””I am gonna kill Ghost!””Am I gonna get to go back to school”” “I am gonna kill Ghost!” “Am I gonna get to go back to school” “I am gonna kill Ghost!” “Am I gonna get to go back to school” “Someone killed ghost””So now do I get to go back to school”……and now you have experienced the entire show. Sadly, I dont have much else to add other than the following random thoughts, which really could be added to Myalogy Minutes, so let’s just get right to it. Myalogy Minutes: What is it with these Valdez women thinking they can show up to Tasha’s home? Be workin on my nerves with that shit. Thank goodness, USA DA or whatever his title is Goldenblatt said something bout taking down Saxe Trump, who apparently does whatever he wants without impunity. Paz needed a better hiding place for that gun with a young man and a demented man in her home. Titi’s nephew: DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT YOUR AUNT WAS MURDERED or do you just want to be able to go back to school? I think we got our answer. Paz, what was the point of ruining Angela’s reputation? Oh right, it was pointless…just like this episode. Um scuse me FBI man, shouldnt you be handing the file with Angie’s phone info on it to, um, I dont know, THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL and not the dead woman’s sister? One would think after multiple shootings at Truth, Jamie woulda got some metal detectors up in that camp. Detective Rosie Perez just knew when and where to roll up on Paz to deliver some bad news. Thats some good detectin! Paz ran straight to her sisters killer to ask him to kill her sisters killer. We love to see it. NYC aint got conceal and carry, they got conceal and reveal. I saw that gun out and exposed – ALOT. Thanks Team Power Writers for wasting our time watching Paz following Jamie around Truth. Just close the whole damn US Attorney’s office, since EVERYONE gets fired from there. All their cases should be overturned at this point. Seeing Detective Rosie Perez with that black eye just gives me joy – calm down, it wasnt a domestic injury, ladies. TRUST ATTORNEY ELVIN! So all this time, Paz been worried bout the money and we know where her kids mind has been and all of that, to turn down the money – bitch please. Why Tasha have that Michael Jackson jacket on? and OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Tasha, why you snitching on Tommy? Tommy done gave Paz a full body convulsion by movin out on her. Speaking of Tommy, I miss him. Where he at? 3 episodes and 5 suspects left….whatchall think?

Powerful Thoughts 5.9

Editor’s Note:  Thanks to all my social media friends that have not posted any season finale spoilers….cuz I heard they are out there.  Yall the real MVP and I can tell yall love us forreal.  If you did spoil it, find your mother and ask why she didnt swallow you as opposed to taking you into her womb and giving you the life you obviously dont have cuz you post power spoilers on the internet…you dumb muthafucka…. …ahem…. Are you high? On crack cocaine?  – Proctor A question that was asked to the feds, but could have been asked of many characters this week?  Ghost, while talkin bout how family dont go behind each other’s back.  Tariq for telling ghost to teach him the the muthafucking game.  Ghost for sitting there making a face and not punching his son thru the concrete for talking to him like that.  Tommy for leaving a dead body out in the open. Angie for not letting the pics be proof of Teresi’s involvement and just HAVING to ask Mak. I could go on, but lets get into this SUPER late ass recap, mkay? Dre Day Poor Dre.  After Diego’s head was found on ice in the club, The Basset Group’s plans to have him start to expand their business was also placed there.  As a result he finds himself on the outs with Alicia, who rightfully sees his weakness and decides to promote Cristobal to distro of the fam.  Filled with righteous indignation and a smug shit eatin grin, he summons his former subordinate to his office and assures him all is okay between the two.  Relieved, Christobal shares how the head of the syndicate wants to give him some head and reveals their plans for a rendevous complete with the time and gps coordinates of the meet.  Still on her quest to take down Dre, Angie approaches him at the office and offers him witness protection for information the feds can use against Alicia, an offer he initially rebuffs…until he remembers how jelly he is.  He goes to her unsecured home later and gives up info on Alicia and Christobal’s meet, info that Angie later uses to arrest La Jiminez and her fugly ass distro…Angie returns to the fed spot victorious, or so she thinks… Angie? You in Danger, Girl I feel like I cheated and used this headline before and I probably have because she is always in danger.  And I always have to tell her because she never knows it.  She starts off the ep getting berated by a man about trust who should never berate anyone about anything remotely having to do with trust, yet here she stands. Pleading her case to Jamie and letting HIM storm off and tell HER he will call her later.  This lady’s life is basically the shambles and you talmbout how you can trust her again? Boy Bye.  Honey Hush. Sugar Stop.  With Kanan taking the rap for having killed the four NYPD cops and Ray Ray with Tasha’s stolen gun, Lady Fed Boss with the most annoying voice in life, is telling her all boy squad + Blanca to move on from Angie, as she has no connection to Kanan.  With The Great Tasha Stolen Gun Caper of ’18 behind her, Angie feels safe enough to turn her attention to her real job – capturing criminals instead of being one.  She, with Dre’s help takes down the remaining Jimenez sibling, and uses her superiority to demand that Mak inform on his informant, even though she snuck in his office and took pics of his informant.  He tells her bout Teresi and his connection to Tommy.  She IMMEDIATELY goes to her man and tells him, who goes and tells the Italians, who summon Tommy, who kills Teresi and leaves him at the family crypt for all the world to see.  Later that night, Lady Fed Boss summons Angie to the office, specifically the Angie room and tells her the jig is up…they know she is tied to Tommy, they fed her info on Teresi and now Teresi is dead – she needs to come clean immediately….and my and her legs almost fell out from under both of us. Mama’s Baby; Daddy’s Maybe Oh, Tommy.  He’s lost SO much…Holly, their unborn child, their dog, his BFF…he’s literally the Robert Barisford Brown of Power – but he still has so much on the line to lose.  As the episode opens, he’s still his daddy’s son.  Rolling round with him, showing him the warehouse, sharing how Milan once offered him cadaver soup, telling him how Ghost used a #3 pencil instead of a #2 on his seventh grade placement test scantron, ya know, just being a good honest boy and his father is responding in kind.  With Connie’s admonishment bouncing around in his head, he just can’t bring himself to pull the proverbial trigger on his son by selling him out to the feds, who are hot on his trail, much to his partner Sammy’s dismay.  Sammy walks right in on Teresi mid-phone call with the feds, where he is putting everything on Ghost and nothing on Tommy.  Sammy, who had a gun put to his head over Tommy, rightfully went apeshit.  Tommy enters right in the middle of their row, demanding to know why his old man and his boy are fighting.  Just as Sammy is about to spill the beans on Teresi’s involvement with the feds, Teresi goes full Soprano and knifes dude repeatedly.  His secret safe for the moment, he has his son help him move the body.  But Tony just thinks he’s safe.  Forces beyond his control were conspiring against him.  As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Angie finds out about Teresi’s true nature, which leads to his imminent death. He does his old man a solid and takes him to see his dying wife one mo gin before killing him.  Heartbroken and crestfallen, he returns to the one place most of

Powerful Thoughts 5.8

well damn. did the show we used to all love the hell out of return to form this week? yep! did dumb shit happen yep!  was ghost sporting a poopyface the whole ep? yep! did tariq still make us want to kill him! yep! but at least, despite allalat, we got our show back if ONLY for one week.  Let us bow our heads and read from the book of Power chapter 5 verse 8….I aint gonna keep yall long…. The Student Surpasses the Master I only paid attention to this theme upon watching courtney kemp during the after show.  she mentioned it specifically while discussing Tariq/Kanan, but I can see some other relationships where it cropped up.  Even tho he was the criminal when they met, I submit to you that Angie is a better criminal than Ghost.  That fool sputtering out “if you fucking give me a minute, I can give you these answers,” while under interrogation from Tasha and Angie was absolutely pathetic.  When you contrast that with the cool demeanor Angie has when up against Mak and the entire fed office, it gives you just a sense of how much of Jamie’s big dick energy has been spent.  Our hero further slips in my estimation when Planmaster J is usurped by Taskmaster TMoney….Tasha was on her game this ep.  She aint give a fuck bout Jamie nor his Dre plan, she had her sights on the one mofo she (rightly) blames for her son and daughter’s demise, Kanan.  And what a beautiful plan it was…plant the murder weapon and her ‘missing’ son on Kanan and call the cops on dat ass….brilliant…Ghost could never…We also have Keisha, letting Tasha know she aint as stupid as Tasha treats her like she AND she can make an meal enough to impress some old skool EYE-talians.  Christobal seems to have supassed dre, I mean Mr. Coleman on bullshitting the bullshitters with his casket sharp suit and tales of promoting parties on South Beach….almost everyone was making moves this week for the sole purpose of teaching their teachers, that they are no longer, the proverbial, one. Tariq, Tareek, Tarik sound like something you catch on ya feet! Sorry…had to.  This shit head has done it again…and by it, I mean inspire murderous rage in us….especially Kanan, but more on that later….he’s still stomping around, complaining that his father will do anything for his family and his freedom, that his whole family is some liars, that angela broke his family apart, that wah wah wah, lawd someone shut this child up.  He stands up in his black ass mama’s face and tells her that she a fucking, something, i really dont remember cuz I was busy visualizing what color my mother would have dressed me in at my funeral if I ever in my cotton pickin life talked to her the way he was standing up talking to her in HER HOUSE.  My mother backhanded and forehanded slapped me once for running up a long distance phone bill, so I cant even imagine what she would do if i used the word ‘fucking’ at her.  Anyhoo Kanan sets his defacto son up with some drugs and this boneheaded child doesnt really understand that you have to pay for drugs and that you have to be on the look out for niggas trying to get over aka giving you fake money – a situation he rectified in a way that made his playdaddy proud.  He went to a meet with the Sonny? Sammy? and his Choate level Italian proved useful in helping kanan understand what was being said about him. But where he really stood out was carrying his mother and her wife in law’s plan to fruition….somehow, someway, osmosis perhaps, he plants the gun that was used to kill Ray-Ray in Kanan’s trunk, and lets his mother know his 20, so that she can sic the cops on our soon to be departed….. KANAN THEODORE ALOYISUS STARK, RIP I dont think a number of us fully appreciate how we are gonna miss this grandma murderer, his bubble denim coats, and his one liners.  Kanan literally made me laugh out loud several times this week. Telling Tommy and Ghost that diego’s head was in the bag.  That ghost be making him feel like a kid.  That Tariq aint learning shit.  That he shoulda took a DNA test to determine whether Shawn was his kid or not.  Pure comedy….til it wasn’t.  After having a heart to heart with Tariq, about the circumstances that lead to Shawn’s death and his own paternal feelings about his young shitheaded protege, who he says he would never kill, Tasha’s plan kicks into high gear – the police are behind them.  He tells Tariq in ZERO uncertain terms that he is NOT going back to jail and he was NOT lying.  Upon searching the trunk the police find a gun that appears more magically than that one bullet that hit JFK 18 times. The police ask Tariq if he is being held against his will, as his mother’s call suggests and with a heavy heart, yet clear eyes, he says yes….its probably the one time I’ve seen Kanan genuinely hurt, but that pain is fleeting cuz this man is a true life killer. As the cuff is being placed on him, he uses his free hand to take out the arresting officer, and bout 10 more cops summarily, with one managing to get a body shot off in return…he walks up on one to deliver the kill shot and looks Tariq dead in the face while doing so.  I could smell the shit forming in the colon of our young St. Patrick.  Keeping his word, leaves Tariq alive, takes off in one of the cop car, before careening into a tree…blood spilling from his mouth…Ladies and gents, our Kanan is dead, who bringing the ‘tata salad to the repass?
