Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

I have had some problems with the show. The thing that disturbed me the most is Ghost sitting in the ice cream shop with his high school sweetie while his main business is in trouble. Who does that?!? Also, why doesn't he know that Angela is an ADA? I have a problem with that scenario as well. And I hate D Wade just as I much as I hate the real D Wade! He is breaking every code in the brother's handbook and had the nerve to catch feelings when she declined his gift. WTF! Then he snitched like a bitch. It reminded me of the real D Wade pouting after a no-call.

That being said, last week's episode gives me some hope for the finale and next season

A guy whose focus has switched from the drug biz to the club biz, the writers have shown you step by step that the drug biz is NO LONGER his top priority, and now with Angela back in his life it has dropped down to third!

Also, why doesn't he know that Angela is an ADA? I have a problem with that scenario as well.

If you have any friends that are lawyers, you usually don't go into detail about exactly what type of law they practice, it could be criminal, business, medical, environmental, bankruptcy, civil, tax, estate, entertainment, family, immigration, real estate, and it just keeps going, he knows that she's a lawyer, that's what she went away to school to do, and she gave him some lawyerly advice as well (concerning the chick that O/D'd in the club bathroom, she probably wouldn't have gone into detail with him anyway, but her not asking how he built himself up into owning that club, especially as a lawyer, I have a problem with as well, but "love" has a way of doing this, making you blind to things that are readily apparent to others.

Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

I don't wanna be too critical of the show but this is bs tho...maybe I'm just limiting myself to my personal experience but friends/families who are lawyers...I know what type of law they practice...I can't imagine someone saying they're a lawyer and you know them well and/or are intimate w/ them and don't @ least ask so what kind of lawyer are you/what kind of law do you practice?

and yes I agree it is weird that she didn't ask how did he fund/finance the club...I'm not buying the love angle esp. when she likes to insist on telling everybody that ghost has changed...this is something she should've already asked...I like the show but a few (not you) are tryna act like it's beyond reproach...but these little things are what could catapult the show's status to the next level

Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

You don't see how a young dumb 19/20 year old hood nigga can be manipulated by a bad ass sexy 30 year old woman who is ego stroking him and teasing him with the pussy?

I don't give a shit how young you are..how fine a bitch is..and how dumb you are...blood is a language even retards understand and D Wade knows for a fact that her husband and his crazy as shit partner chops up bodies..in fact they had him help in a butchering...if that don't keep your fucking mouth shut then you must be a tv character. I guess they have to have a story, but that part is completely unrealistic.

Not necessarily, he's too green to see that she's playing him. That boy ain't never had nothing like that before. He thinks all of the seducing she's doing is genuine AND you have your kingpin father telling you "take what's yours". A blessing from your father emboldens you to do shit.

I could almost say I'd make the same mistake, but I never trusted anything that came that easily to me. All of a sudden my boss' bitch is masturbating in car and staring me down :smh::smh: I would think it was some type of test before anything else.

some niggas ain't afraid of blood...plus ghost just gave the orders from his POV...on some man to man shit he clearly doesn't respect ghost or @ least don't fear him...he up in ghost house eyeballing his wife and flirting w/ her and shit...now he eyeballing ghost for being on the phone w/ angie and shit...and he's said numerous times he's ready for the action...I think he has some last sense of "loyalty" left to ghost but he doesn't fear him imo...he hasn't been given a chance to get dirty but that don't mean he won't
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

Didn't properly investigate?!?

His two MOST TRUSTED PEOPLE told him that it was Rolla, from two different POV's, further, he was under a time constraint which would lead to a war if he didn't comply, something that their crew IS NOT equipped for, you're also forgetting what Lobos told him, that if he had to come in and handle ish in NYC again, he'd have no reason to stay with Ghost/Tommy, but I DEFINITELY agree on the driver tip, his driver should not have ANY INFO that could be used against him, PERIOD!!!:cool:

To me, you always have to test everybody when you are not sure of a situation..especially the people you trust. Tommy pretty much takes his lead most of the time, so that's the only one to trust completely if you have to. No fucking way do you trust a nigga in 50's situation and you don't even trust the lil homie you raised. You do shit like feed them all false info, test everybody. He asked him what does 50 have to gain by pointing him in that direction..he should have put thought into that angle before grabbing the silencer. I know the time constraint fucks that up, but if he wasn't knee deep in that Latina pussy and fucking with that club he could have handled that situation better. You just can't replace a loyal dude you brought up like lil homie he smoked.

I don't know how you don't respect a nigga that's a known killer, that pays your bills, and you have to drive around and obey. I could see if he shitted on you and you were on some bitter shit, but even his pops ain't let him know yet what the plan was. I think when he says he ready for action, he meant to prove himself, and do his dad proud by stepping up. I don't think he is on some take the game over and take your bitch shit. It all boils down to him being green..that bitch spread her legs and put on a show for him and he fell in love...buying gifts and shit for another nigga wife. He is just young and dumb..I could see Fif putting his dumb ass out to pasture for being a disgrace to the family name when he gets out. I know I'm disappointed in him and he ain't even my seed. :lol:
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

Sad that some cats don't have inference skills. :smh::smh::smh::smh::smh:

Cats want hand to be held through an entire script. :smh::smh::smh::smh:

Niggas can't even understand the power of dialogue. :smh::smh::smh::smh:

Like niggas wanted to see Ghost breastfeed Rolla, read him bed time stories and shit. :smh::smh::smh::smh::smh::smh:

The series is pretty solid and well written. Niggas sure can be critical of some nigga shit, white boy write a show you niggas fall in line watching all that gay propaganda, niggas be quiet as a mouse.

50 is doing his thing. :smh::smh::smh::smh::smh:

Drivers and Janitors know everything.

I don't think you know what a good well written show is.

I like Sons Of Anarchy and The Walking Dead, but I wouldn't say they were well written. They're entertaining. That's what this is, entertaining. Nobody would compare Expendables 3 to Sharshank or The Godfather.

This doesn't compare to something like True Detective, Boardwalk or Game of Thrones that have good writing and acting.

What do you mean? I've never seen true detective, but weren't they given 20+ episodes? I didn't know HBO 8-10 whatever deals

You need to check it out.

who said anything about take over the game...I said he doesn't fear ghost...he don't have to be a big time drug dealing killer not to be afraid of someone...we both know this...I'm just stating the obvious here...having 50 character kill him for not repping the "family name" in the street is plausible to you but him simply not being afraid of ghost isn't?

I feel you, that may be true, I just think that you do have to be a killer to go after the dudes wife like that. Like I could see 50 doing it, but he is actually trying to kill Ghost. I just don't see D Wade as the type to not be scared because they have him acting square with the buying the gifts and talking about he don't respect you ra ra shit he was talking to Tasha. And I was just kidding about 50 killing him...I don't see anything like that happening. I just meant 50 is doing shit like hiring killers, and turning Ghost against his own people..and his son is doing shit like buying hoes gifts and taking her on drives to spy on other bitches and shit..it's a disgrace.

dude is def "scared" of pussy/tasha but imo that don't translate to him being afraid of ghost
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

Didn't know we had this many screenwriters, actors, and FEDS on BGOL. Oh tell me how that shit goes in real life, LOL.

I mean what drug king pin would have a name like Ghost, that shit aint realistic, man that's some dumb writers. :smh::smh::smh:

Like what nigga getting some new latin lawyer pussy forgets his drug hustle, I mean it's just pussy, I mean he a drug king pin he can buy all the latin pussy he want. :smh::smh::smh::smh:

This nigga up in here talking about Games of Thrones, Godfather, Next nigga gone be up in here talking about Othello and shit. Context bro.


True Detective another show that was trying way too hard to be important by attacking the easiest target :religion. True "hipster" Detective had just as many flaws as most 8 episodes shits will always have. So don't sit up here like True Detective is the GOAT. Them writers had a story that went NO FUCKING WHERE.


Power is not awful, it's not GOAT, it's a well done show under the circumstances. Niggas , well I mean, Future Scriptwriters of Nigga No Where show is watching the shit for it to be so awful.

Did you write the fuckin show? Why are you acting butt hurt, because people actually know what good writing and a good story line are?

Next time someone criticizes a football or basketball player, I'm going to ask if they played in the NBA or NFL :rolleyes:

Man I don't know what reality you live in but the one I live in and come from I see guys (street and professional) ruin business arrangements and relationships over pussy all the time. I see guys, corporate and street fuck over friends all the time. And friends killing and crossing friends is the normal course of business in the drug game. That's how prisons get filled. Friends and associates fucking each other over. You didn't think it was "police work" did you?? :smh:
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

man, i still am not understanding that shit. :smh:

and i know that the writers are saying that dwade is getting manipulated by ghost's wife. but dwade can't be that fucking dumb. :smh:

I think Ghost believes Dwade is weak and expects Tasha to find out through him. He's already given her subtle clues that it's over and he's ready to move on (or at least have her be OK with him having an affair). She's not ready to give up that lifestyle and can't take much from him legally and Ghost knows this. The dialogue about her making divorce claims on drug assets was either in the last week's episode or next week's preview.

And it is no way Ghost or Tommy had anything to do with setting up Kanan because, basically, If they did set him up, they know he would have figured it out by now. But Ghost still completely trusts him. That leaves either Tasha (unknown to Ghost) or someone on the outside as the one who did it.

Agreed on this.

How can you place explicit trust in a person YOU set up?!?:smh:

This is why I believe that it was either Tasha, or even the cops themselves, because think about it, exactly why would ANYONE check the light socket to know that the bulb was gone after the traffic stop & arrest had been made?!?
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

Come on brother! The GOT thread is almost 200 pages! We have critiqued it death. The same thing with True Detective. The writing in both shows trumps this show ten fucking fold. True Detective really made you think and the plot twists were outstanding. While GOT stands on its own merits as one of the greatest series ever.


This show has a long way to go

I completely agree with what you are saying...I'm talking about the way this particular dude is playing this character. The way he is acting..I'm just saying the way he is coming off doesn't match some of his actions. I know all those things happen in real life. I just meant IMO 50's son comes off too corny. I could see him buying the gift and falling for her, but by the same token, the taking her to look for the other bitch is a bit too far IMO. Mind you she already denied him at the house before and made it clear that she wasn't serious..and he hasn't actually given him any pussy yet..he's just got a peep at it. He hasn't even touched it much less fucked. Again, I'm completely aware this is just entertainment..and I'm supporting it..just pointing out some shit that don't fit IMO. I just wish this shit was on HBO..Boss was 5 times better than this shit (even though it kind of went off the map in the second season) and they couldn't even keep that going.

God forbid niggas state their opinion on a message board. I have experience with a lot of the shit on the show.. you don't have to be a drug kingpin to understand having people around you wanting you to stay where you are and not progress..or understand someone fucking up over pussy...if it's wack for people to state their opinions the way they are, it's more wack to come in a thread stating your opinion of their opinion. IMO you should shut the fuck up, get out of this thread, stay out and do like your name says and nevermind wtf we are talking about. fuckboi

Yea. I chalk it up to the character being young dumb and naive. Also keep in mind this shit is written by a woman. So maybe that part was her doing to connect the two females characters. I will agree with you that him driving her to see the mistress was out there.

And to be clear, I don't think the writing overall is that great. But some of the things being complained about are not legitimate gripes imo.

Yeah I agree..I just make observations on these shows though. I'm never complaining. If I find myself complaining about a show, I just don't watch it. I really don't even need this show to be great. Shit got guns, drugs and even the two main chick characters showing their asses so I'm cool. I got shit like Ray Donovan back on so it all balances out.
 
Re: 50 Cent's New Show, POWER season premier

True Detective's writing felt great and then we realized they led us on a path to a weak ass finale. Tons of loose ends and it just ended up being fuckery. But the acting along the way was great, I think it was more the acting and less great writing.

I don't think you know what a good well written show is.
