Snowflakes 6.3 & 6.4

/

The superbowl, the snow, a quick trip and my reefah addiction all conspired to make one of these recaps late as hell and the other right on time…. I’d be remiss, as a fake cinemaphile (is that a word) to not mention the drop dead gorjus camera work in episode 3…The Door of No Return . That shot alone of SincereLEE looking out across the ocean brought tears to my eyes. And their wedding? Man lissen…. SincereLee: oh how our boy has grown since season 1 where he lived miles from an ocean he never saw. Now here is in Africa, along with Wanda, thriving not just surviving. He soon goes thru what seems like survivors remorse – he has a better life, a safer life, but is plagued by who and what he left behind and his role in the conditions of LA. Last season was a transformative one for him and if it transformed his spirit, it definitely left his brains out of it. What the hell Lee? I mean really. Why would you take Wanda back to the got damn projects? Crack every damn where…dont you got some money? Yall couldnt get a place? Stay at The Saint residence? Get a no-tell motel? And my GOD, bless Wanda’s SOUL…..she aint for this world no more. Im happy Cissy offered her a purpose in working at Alton’s shelter. She cant just be sitting in the projects all damned day protecting crackheads from spray paint. In my second what the hell Lee moment: why that man go fight Big D over some street lights and not over him calling your WIFE community pussy? I mean you aint kill him so clearly there’s gonna be some pushback. I get the frustration, but who you mad at Lee? Cuz it aint Big D…sounds like you shoulda took a page from your LA brethren Trey Stylez and fought the air. The Saint: ooooh im not liking seeing my G so outta control and off his square. Firstly, dont ever curse at my mom. NOT EVER. Secondly, well it aint no secondly, cuz yo ass aint finna cuss at my got damn mama. The Saint is wounded and wounded animals are scary…and I cant even blame him. After a 3’s company type ruse that involved a sec-a-terry and an old ass nikon camera, the Saint is no closer to getting his money and he cusses Lady Saints momma CLEAN OUT. He is surrounded by people he cant fully trust, as evidenced by how long he held that gun on Lee when he arrived to the door with a sack of burgers. His money is running so low, he has resorted to cooking crack again, something his Mr. Belvidere suit suggests he is light years away from doing. Another thing he aint gonna do is let this empire crumble on his watch. Jerome and Louie: Well this shit certainly hasnt calmed down at all. The couple, who also were not thrilled to see Lee nor his wedding gift, are still out for blood! They let Lee know aint no more family and it looks like they want him to heed The Saints advice and also pick a side. Benefitting from Franklin’s return to the street and the fit of righteous indignation that lead to him burning one of Kane’s folks faces, they find out where Kane is hiding. Turns out folks dont like their faces burned by folks they dont really know and that dislike will lead to them turning on folks that dont really care about their face getting burned. They dont know The Saint is there, but that woulda just been an added bonus, to have him die in the attempt on Kane’s life. Luckily for both Kane and The Saint, they manage to get the drop on the hittas and get the hell outta there. OSO and Teddy Reed: yall, I’d dont give this part of the story the attention I should so maybe when its all said and done, I will re-watch and fast forward thru The Saint parts and focus solely on Teddy Reed. Anyhoo, they went to Panama for something and then something went wrong down there and then they got on the plane and found a screw that somehow teddy reed knew to unscrew (huh, unscrewing a screw) then found a piece of paper that was written in Russian and boom pow zing, he knows about Rueben, and who Rueben works for, which one of Ruebens balls he likes tickled and where Rueben is gonna be…which at this point is on the barstool next to Oso. That damn Teddy Reed man…give him his Mensa certificate NOW. My beloved Oso is in the hardest of places….on the outs with his lady, in bed with the DEA to bring down Teddy Redd and being courted by the KGB for the same reasons as the DEA and he’s got 24 hours to make something happen. I do not envy this man at all. SNOWBALLS: – COOK NIGGA! I fucking LURVE when The Saint gets to hollering at people – How Kane and The Saint know that car was coming up the alley was a friendly one? – Again, dont curse at my mama– Leon, you betta have a plan cuz Craig was still hiding from Debo after kicking his ass in the street– Wanda. if this man dont find you betta living accommodations, then leave his ass.– Im glad that alot of scenes that were in the trailer breakdown are coming out in the early episodes – at this point we just need to see the house burning down scene. Whatchall think?

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 1.4

/

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! ][

Kanan Concepts 1.3

So this is gonna be another brain dump post. Just my rando notes as I was taking them, because again, not alot of narrative development took place. I will say, I remain undeterred. Three episodes into tariq’s story, they were still focusing on them weak ass professors and their sex issues and I was wondering why. I mean by the end of the story, I was still wondering why, but at least they ended up playing a substantial part, so this is my show and Im sticking with it. moving on….my notes in sequential order. opening up with let the rhythm hit’em – solid choice officer epps should stop trying to chase down youth offenders in a blade coat and barney miller steppers Third week in a row, im compelled to mention how beautiful raq is….and she got two sex scenes…meowwwwwww This little naker Kanan smelling himself a bit too much questioning his mother and her houseguests going to school when he feel like it asking his uncle what his uncle doing in his own Childs room while standing up with no good reason to be standing up in his uncles house. DEANangelo Barksdale is the plug! Officer Epps is dying…I hope this is an important plot point down the road. Jukebox getting the Mary J “imma cut a demo in the mall” Blige treatment I shole hope her lil girlfriend don’t get the Andre Harrell Hookup before her but lets be honest she turned out to be a dirty cop so that whole singing career don’t matter while we on Juke, are we gonna have to listen to her sing EVERY episode? while we still on juke, at the boost, did she not only drop her mask, but also her knife? NOT SMART Some one tell big brother Marvin that dogs aren’t interchangeable. You cant kill someone’s purse dog and replace it with a rotttie. CROWN COMBS IS PLAYING HIS STEPDEDDY. A serious aside: its truly sad to see how drugs decimated our communities, Marvin’s pride at Kanan entering the game was pathetic. So Jess the mid Latina is an adult…sorry I called you a Kelz last week LULU Kanan don’t even know how to price drugs. Family just sent him into the streets ass out. So, is officer epps only on his own side? He aligned himself with Unique last week, but took his stash this week to help out raq, but probs only did it for himself. right? See yall next week……

Ladies, in your Twenties, Run the World, so you don’t end up in The First Wives Club

/

mannnnnn, if I aint a writer, water aint wet. So some of you, meaning anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE TELEVISION. Music is great, but have you ever had the rusty anchor episode of the golden girls come on after you arrive home post walk of shame? thats some good living right there. anyhoo….. my fellow teevee freaks may have noticed me drop not one, not two, but three of the dopest women driven shows Ive ever seen in the title up there. Twenties, Run the World, and The First Wives Club ate up so much of my time recently. They all focus on everyone’s favorite – BLACK WOMEN. Black women working, loving, living, laughing, losing, gaining, you know just being human in different phases of their lives. My Twenties girls are, well, in their twenties, doing twentyish shit like getting evicted and getting cheated out of orgasms and trying to figure it out. My Run the World girls are a bit more savvy…im thinking 30s….situated in careers, if not in love, and definitely not missing no nuts. And The First Wives Club, well them bishes old…life is certainly settled in many ways but tell God ya settled and watch him work. The thing that I love most about all these shows and what they all have in common that they feature, not black women, but women that are black. a distinction if not a difference. Im not being beat over the head with their blackness, which is gloriously still, thru their style, their lingo and their worldview very obvious. Let’s dig in….. TWENTIES (Wednesdays, BET) – loosely based on Lena Waithe’s ascension in Hollywood. It’s centered on her, in this case, a lesbian chick named Hattie, her single free spirited pal Nia, and her married serious friend Marie. Hattie ends up working for – thanks to Marie – who I believe is Yvette Lee Bowser, after floundering around and thus starts her career in Hollywood. I swear, if you dont see a sminch of yourself, in one of these chicks, ya lying. There is a joke about Hattie being violated by a dentist after getting evicted that legit made me laugh out loud. Plus, the sporty side of me is here for all of Hatties fashions, think: tees bauds and rees. In fact one of her pairs if pants had me running to my trusted fashionista, C-Line from the 9, to hunt them down. found them, ordered them, they never arrived….to china, from mya and America, eff you. But to Lena, a huge gratitude from me to you for sharing your story…we still need to talk bout some other projects of yours tho….. Run The World (Sundays, STARZ)- now I just said this about no blackness, so I AINT gonna call this a black version of a white quartet that we all lived for in the early aughts, but……the city is the same, but the vibe aint. This one is about 4 chicks, Ella is a blogger/writer like ya fave – MOI, Sondi is a post graduate candidate in a relationship with her professor, Renee is a pistol, who just kicked her wasband to the curb and Whitney is a uber successful bidness woman who feels trapped by her relationship with her uber good dr fiancé. When we first meet them they are all about to hit a state of flux….all of them are entering a season of change, which anyone near my age can relate to. Add Erika the Great Alexander to the mix as Ella’s editor….and get ya bat and yall ball cuz thats a hit. Editors note: my uncle said that lame line to me bout twenty years ago and I cringed for him like you likely just did for me. but eff yall. The First Wives Club (Streaming, BET+) – based on the movie of the same name. Jilly From Philly is megastar on the decline, Hazel E, married to an unscrupulous man who manages her while attempting to manage someone else. He cuts her off financially and she has to move in with Surgeon Bree, who kicks her too nice husband to the curb after he cheats on her after she neglects him. Rounding out the trio is Ari, a former high flying legal eagle who puts her dreams aside to help her husband launch his political career. All of them are buoyed by Hazel having to push the reset button on life and some serious hijinks and low moments ensue, while on a quest to avenge hazel and live their best lives. All three of my shows have some familiar faces in the casts, and all of them feature music that will make you bop ya head and wicked smart punchlines and writing. AND THE FASHIONS, OH SHIT THE FASHIONS *GMONEY VOICE* Sometimes you will laugh, sometimes you may drop a tear or two over a scene that strikes a little to close to home. One thing is for certain, all the creators had both their bats and balls…..too soon?

Kanan Concepts 1.1

/

So that title could be a work in progress….im not sure about it, but Im a sucka for alliteration. Here we go! Firstly, I’d like to congratulate myself for recapping a show after the very first ep. If you follow me, you know that has never happened, so YAY MYA. Moving on…initial thoughts…..RAQUEL IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! And she is officially my favorite mom of the Power series. Tasha was dumb and limited. Monet don’t give a fuck bout her kids, but Raq….she wants better for her son and realizes she is powerless in changing who he is, so she gives in. Good? Nah, but at least she cared enough to try. Plus she is without hips like your favorite blogger and anytime I see a black woman who aint built like a Minotaur on teevee, I get amped. This premiere ep was all about introductions and establishing characters, so this recap will attempt to do the same. The main thrust of this ep, was that Raq is a boss, who was bequeathed power by her dead baby daddy or her now dead boyfriend…honestly can’t remember, but she’s it, so thats all you need to know. She has some brothers who are clearly gonna complicate her life, probably in a similar way that her son did in this first ep. As soon as I saw them sitting in that diner, with all them windows, I said to my intended, a shootout is a coming….and didn’t it come. It was a warning to Raq from a rival dealer, Unique, which Raq understood, but Kanan did not. Raq met with Unique to dead the beef and carve out territory. Bet. Kanan still took that shit personal and snuffed out his romantic rival, Buck when he saw him on what he thought was Raq’s territory, which lead to Uniques folks shooting up Raq and Kanans’s abode. Although furious with him, this leads Raq to understand her son is a soldier not a student and she gives in to his desire to be part of their criminal enterprise, And thus begins the narrative push of this story, the third book of Power: Raising Kanan. Myalogy Minutes: The music and fashions are top notch! Sergio Tacchini suit anyone? YESSSSSSS They really want white people on these shows. I can go with the publicist, but Jukeboxx’s girlfriend is a stretch The Power team aint gonna be happy til I call PETA on them. First Milan (I think) killed Tommy’s dog and now Raq done nuked Bella? Shouts out to the old Dorito bag. Raq and Symphony is giving me strong Monet and Latino cop vibes Is Symphony also fucking white publicist lady? The opening song aint as strong as Big Rich Town, but it uses a Mary Jane Girls sample, so I won’t always fast forward thru it. 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 6.12 – 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?
