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

This is one of his better roles, because it's limited and important to the story. I don't mean it needs saving...he has his straight to dvd shit on lock and can show up in theaters sometimes because he is in good with the Sly Stallone's and Nick Cage's of the world. I just meant that in his mind if this show was to get large and he can get a nomination of some sort, then it would be something as big as Get Rich or Die Trying..something more main stream.

A nomination for what...a Source Award?

The only thing this shit is winning is a BET Award.

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

they could actually get away with making season 2 a prequel
covering:

the rise, reign & fall of 50

the origin of punkazz dwade & his moms

ghost's & tommy's come up...no suits

angela's relationship / tasha's rebound

ghost's & rolla's street ties

and any other loose end that wasn't covered in season 1

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

dude was acting a bit too iffy toward his pops for my taste...a lot of hesitation when responding...if anything I still think he in tasha pocket more so than anybody...I think her character about to step it up a notch @ la la = 2 + 2 is 4

Remember he doesn't really know him, he's been in jail his adult life, Ghost has actually been more of a Father to him, but we already know how he feels about Ghost now, lol!

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

it didnt fit like it came out of nowhere.

i would have put this

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WDM4Xdnb9w4?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Naw fam, that's too simple. It's bigger than him wanting to double his load...it's about how all of them want to be at the top. Everyone of them have desires on being the man & making their move to get that spot.

Tasha stealing money to bounce, Tommy feeling disrespected & getting his rep up, Angie trying to get Los Lobos, Kanan wanting his spot back, Ghost doubling down to get out the game once & for all, Los Lobos trying to make up for the Cali network crumbling...they all got that animal ambition for whatever it is they want, it fit perfectly.

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

i when that happened tommy was like


ghost was like








he just invested in vodka or something so be ready to see that in the show too. shit take what you can take out of it i would do that shit too. but he coulda replaced animal ambition with a other track tho of his album.

A nomination for what...a Source Award?

The only thing this shit is winning is a BET Award.

Notice I said in his mind..I know he not getting shit, but that won't stop him from plotting on it. A lot of undeserving people get emmy nods..shit those white people don't know too much and have thrown noms at some people just to get younger people to watch the telecast of the awards show.

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

I wanted two to die, and it looks like only one of them is.

Angela made Tasha seem less annoying. We're partners

And I might have had to pass on the dick shit

So she took a shot in a crowded club, but wouldn't do it other places

What's with the gay Columbian



You didn't like him getting his DMX on...grrrrrrr

Inside the club was the ONLY time that 50's son wasn't around!

Maybe they can flash back and juxtapose past and present. Like on some LOST/Godfather II shit.

Not THAT would be ambitious.

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

The writer was on twitter last night giving a shitload of insight into this season and next season. They'll show when Kanan stopped fucking with Ghost, I'll bet it has to do with him and Tommy killing Breeze. Apparently she doesn't favor flashbacks so all the old stories will be told via dialogue similar to how Tasha told the story of Ghost proposing to her.

Nomar is definitely dead.

[GAMETHEORY]

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

another reason why folks like this is because of the gap THE WIRE left out there

so it would be interesting to bring in some of THE WIRE characters such as BODIE

and the producers need to consult with 'real' kings of NY and show other players such as Russians, Chinese,Mexicans and of course the link to the 1% (some wall st shit) and of course a small element of Breaking bad...esp how Lawyers and Accountants flip that money ...offshore game and more importantly how Ghost is taking calculated risks.

the writers need to get out of their comfort zone if they wanna make this show a hit like THE WIRE


btw


anyone with ratings numbers?

fuck it

50 can even take it to NETFLIX

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

yes he was

That opportunity for more distance Lobos was preaching definitely sank further in Ghost's head with letting Tommy take the brunt of the risks by strategically feeding Tommy's Hoodsman ego

Things are really heating up for season 2

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

just caught it late. it was decent. The ending made it aight. I give the season a 6/10

 

[GAMETHEORY]

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

As someone elsewhere noted: Tasha back in the first episode said that she knew Ghost was going to be "the biggest damn drug dealer in New York City." And Ghost, when he finally went all The Godfather, Part III at the end of this episode...he said the exact same thing to Lobos. For a generally unsubtle show, that was a nice lampshade to hang.

He is a kid, prob 20 or so

The actor, Sinqua Walls is 29. 50 is 39. If Sinqua is playing a 20 yr old, he was miscast to play 50's son. They should have aged 50 for the role, to show how it is possible for him to have a son that old and be some old head from the street that showed Ghost and Tommy the business.

YUP, especially when you consider how well she knew his schedule, weirdly enough, Lobos' boys had NO PROBLEM finding BOTH Ghost & Tommy alone @ the moment they wanted them!!!

Shitty writing and delivery as usual, but boy is this shit entertaining! Good finale.....stupid, but good. yeah I'm torn.

He seems super green to be a part of that lifestyle. An old simple jack ass nigga

Poor casting....he's damn near 30. When did 50 skeet in his mom...when he was 9

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

Some of you muthafuckas will complain about anything. Now its DWade is too old to be 50s son?

Since when do older actors not play well below their age on tv and film?

Since when is a 39 year old hood guy too young to have a 19/20/21 year old son??

You cats have become annoying as fuck with all this nitpicky ass criticism.

Stop it. Just cast the shit right and nobody would complain. The shit could have been a breakout hit, but some of the casting and writing doesn't work. We're just pointing out the obvious. If YOU enjoy it then fine, but can I think what the fuck I wanna think? Is that ok with you? BGOL is gettin really hypersensitive when it comes to difference of opinions. Now THAT is annoying.

how was he miscast? i thought he was 21 or something. plus his role before this he was playing a highschool kid in teenwolf. so he was about 27/28 playing a 15 year old.
