I had to do a double take because 90% of the time we’ve seen her the bítch has had a bruised up face and is hiding behind the counter at her store.

Her cousin put the battery in her back and now she’s Griselda. FOH. It looks/feels forced and you know Raq is gonna be the one to take her ass out next season.
Nah that’s a fact lmao. Even the last time they went to visit I was like who shorty? She normally all timid n shyt n now she a queen pin not afraid of Raq and shyt? Yeah aaaiight.

Great Episode!

LOL they can't please some of you cats. You complained all season about the music not sounding 90's enough, then they give you an obvious RIP of a 90's song everybody knows (IMO that's what they should been doing in the 1st place), and yall hate that as if they really were tryna sneak that past you :russ:

Ol "I dont know if it's just me" ass nikkas. No! It's not just you! Everybody knew that shyt, it wasn't hidden :mjlol:

Power isn't on the level of the Wire anywhere. Any element, any description you can think of, it was better on The Wire. The Wire probably even had better interns running around getting bagels and coffee. Power is a good ass, entertaining show. Sex drugs and guns. That's the formula period. It's a soap opera. Only on soap opera's do characters make 180 degree turns like Juliana with no buildup at all. This broad was getting her ass handed to her by her husband daily and never told her plug cousin. Getting kidnapped is honestly not the worst thing that ever happened to her! Unique didn't lay a finger on her! But that sent her over the edge, meanwhile hubby splitting your wig every 2 weeks was nothing. If she was blinded by love she'd never let an outsider like Raq kill her husband. The Wire writers would know that. I think these mofos do too, it's just that they know who and what they're writing for. They don't have to stick to reality. What they did with Juliana's character would be like if on the Wire after Johnny got beat down by the Pit crew, Bubs returns an episode or 2 later with a fresh cut, cleaned up, with a crew ready to go to war with the Barksdales. GTFOH.

Powerful scene between Lou and Raq. Dat shyt hurt Lou. He shoulda reminded her that without him busting his gun all these years, she wouldn't be in a position to own shyt. Might not be a 100% true but he coulda retained a lil manhood!

"Long as your business don't bump into mines. My elbows real sharp these days". GANGSTA :obama:

Juke got hands :whew:

RIP Kenya we hardly knew ye. Like really. Letoya Luckett wasn't great at emoting her suspicions of Juke being gay so that Church shyt caught most of us by surprise. They damn sure never gave her any solid lines. I betchu we'da knew what was up if Patina Miller played her! :sas1:

Yeah stop with that pause/speech before a kill shot shyt. Or give a reason. Make it so homeboy was wounded and having trouble lifting his gun or some shyt. Or! This NJ crew is really straight up on bozo time:

*horribly botched hit on a rich dentist and wife to the point 1 of them is killed and the other is wounded*
*announces their presence, shoots at Marvin from about 15 feet away, figures about 3 shots oughta do it, walks away immediately with putting 1 in the vics dome*
These dude shoulda have their cosa nostra status decertified. Glorified crew is right.

Good payoff with wheelchair dude coming thru for Marvin in the clutch. Good Karma from their 1st meeting and for trying to let Sam live. Hey! Maybe wheelchair dude is Breeze! :troll:

Oh yeah! Kanan! Ummm....he pushed Burke down. That was cool.
Classic!

I don't think any of the characters who got killed were "useless"... everybody can't be major players... some characters are just there for a reason, even if that reason is to play a part in a storyline and then eventually be killed. :manny:

Juke's mom served her purpose in what helped make Juke angrier and more heartless... Cartier was there to show how slick Raq THOUGHT she was, only to get double-crossed, leading to new rivals... Zisa played a part in what connected Cartier and Lou/Raq in the first place, also sorta played a part in Juke moving away from singing after being passed over and done dirty by her own uncle.... Renee helped Marvin change his ways... Worrell was Nique's right-hand who's now gone, which is giving way to Unique partnering up with Raq in the next season... Even Freddie's lil' 4 minutes of total screen time led to Kanan giving a beatdown and Famous' first murder.


Small roles but just like in the OG Power, their inclusion connects certain dots.

It's more believable than yall think

Right- she already had the family connection. She hasn't done anything murderous (yet), she just pulled a sneak move on Raq and THINKS she's running some shyt.

Now what I feel like is gonna happen, is that deep inside she's out of her league. She's only doing this shyt based off of emotion, and it's gonna turn out that she was way over her head. Huge chance she gets taken out next season. What it's gonna boil down to is that she tried to fukk Raq over because Raq didn't take up for her, but she's still the scared-ass lady from the store- y'all know Raq gonna have that talk with her :whew:

She's the best female boss character in all of the crime drama shows I have ever seen, there's not even anybody anywhere near that level. She's definitely gonna be nominated for a bunch of awards for this season. That bytch is a dawg. I love her character and the arc of her story.
Better than Smurf breh:sas2:

Walter White is a prime example (not saying Juliana is gonna become Griselda Blanco or anything)
I never got into Breaking Bad but I know he wasn't the bald bad ass y'all came to love by the end of S1. True or nah?
Not saying she can't turn her shyt around but not in 3 weeks. The hair, the makeup, the way she was holding the wine glass...and "I'm dangerous too"? Come on, Son.

I watched the finale again last night...Worrell might pull thru. He got hit in the upper right shoulder. Kain in Menace to Society lost more blood when he got hit in the shoulder :troll:
