Official Power Book II: Ghost Season 1 Thread

[dora_da_destroyer]

Theories fly around all the time in these huge publicized cases. He doesn’t need to be credibly charged for it to hit the media. So for Monet to act clueless to who Tariq is bizarre to me.

you're doing the same thing as the other poster. there is nothing pointing to her not knowing riq is james st patrick's son - just another rich kid. james st patrick is not ghost to anyone who wasn't part of his criminal life or the detectives investigating him. as of now, it's clear monet/the tejada's hadn't interacted with james as ghost in person as she'd know who riq's dad is and why he knows the street life.

and again, what is there to leak to the media - speculation about him being a criminal? there is no case against him. tasha is being charged for it by the feds and the DNC has their boot on necks...we're only maybe a couple weeks out from his murder and it's only rosie perez jr, who sachs has delegitimized, who is looking to connect james as ghost, the lawyers can't say anything and sachs is hiding it for the DNC - so who would leak it?

And how would she find out all that information by asking the police about Tariq? The police know none of that information and only of about Tasha, James and Raina.

The same information she tells Diana next week about Tariq which SHOULD already be open knowledge to the whole Tejada family.

can you just let the show play out...common sense says he comes back with that stuff, maybe a few other details the public doesn't know but the cops do (there was already some fukkery with them figuring out tasha didn't kill ray ray), she clearly knows that doesn't add up and starts having other people look into him. you're trying to jump ahead not knowing how the writers will continue to seed doubt or plant evidence for her to follow deeper

You seem to keep missing the point

I’ll ask again. How would Monet figure out about how and what Tariq knows by asking the police? The only information she would know is about his family. So why would she relay that information about Tariq to Diana if it should already be open knowledge from the news? I’m talking specifically about the St. Patrick name and not Ghost.

You can’t answer my question so you keep moving goalposts and changing the subject. It’s a fair question to ask as a lot of people have the same question. Everybody in the show openly acknowledges who Tariq is and his current circumstances, yet the Tejada family seems to live in their own bubble separate from everyone else.

she's not trying to figure out what he knows, she's trying to learn about his background, see if he has a record, see who he's been connected to, uncover more about the st james family...wtf

all the suspect shyt about james was always explained away to the public - false imprisonment, daughter a victim of senseless violence, promising politician assassinated - you can buy those stories if you're not interacting with the family, but when his son comes around talking street shyt, it makes you suspicious. you want to look under the veneer...again, how is this hard to follow?

It’s all the same thing breh. Figuring out what he knows is learning of his background.

i'm not sure what circumstance you want ackowledged? for them to say sorry about your dad? oh no your mom killed him? hi son of james st patrick? no offense, but you seem to need to just let the story play out...

They don’t have to acknowledge anything, but don’t act as oblivious as to them not knowing who he is and of his existence. Again nothing in the show indicates that they know of the St. Patrick name. The only reason she even bothered to figure out more about him was because of the Frank situation. Other than that, they seemed to know nothing of him.

You can keep arguing and insisting your point, but it’s other people on Twitter and this thread asking the same question. So obviously the writers haven’t done their part.

because yall are being slow and need everything spelled out. they haven't discussed james, they literally talk to riq like a human - the roommate/tutor of zeke - not the poor little guy who lost his father - the only one who does that is his counselor. yall seem to need a scene where she goes "oh, you're james st patrick's son" for it to be established she's heard of james/knows this is his son.

Or it's because the writers haven't established that the Tejada family knows of the St. Patrick family. Don't blame the fans for that especially since poor writing and explanations aren't new to the Power universe.

This might be an unpopular opinion here, but the show feels empty without Ghost and Tommy

No matter wat Tariq can’t carry a show period. And I think the actor that plays him has brought his acting game way up. But this character is just not main character worthy, the story is cool, just seeing it thru tariqs eyes gets more and more unbearable

 

[Born2BKing]

But hasn’t Tasha admitted to the lawyers that James was Ghost? She has stated this over and over again.

Trying to pin Tasha as the head honcho has no bearing whether or not James is Ghost. She has already stated that he was. Which would already come out in the media spectacle of it all.

DNC is tryna cover up their mistake of selecting ghost as Lt Gov. They don't really believe Tasha is no damn queen pin.

Another fire ep

Ghost was at the top of the chain, he is meant to be invisible. Ghost is to NYC, what greeks were to Baltimore. And then some. Black excellence

MJB crew aint moving in the same circles, look at her crib vs ghost. Riq really had no clue who his father really was

I gotta say by killing ghost, they put a lot of fresh blood into the series. Every season ghost was alive, his power levels kept going up, so it would be hard to keep the story tied to the hood while the nikka running off being the next president

This show feeling a lot better than a lot of the power episodes, I hope they getting good ratings so they can keep making this fire eps


REALLY want to see Omari in something similar again

I wonder how do they go about explaining it on the news and to the public.

With how high profile of a person James was, they would have to acknowledge all of what Tasha is being charged with which would essentially blow up James cover regardless. People would be asking why she’s being charged under federal law since they’d have no reason r jurisdiction to do so.

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

MJB is Tasha but more smarter and I believe she did some dirt on her own not some hide the drugs that every girl do.
