Official Power Book II: Ghost Season 2 Thread

IONO man that weird face, flat chest and deep voice....point is suddenly Effie is bi out of nowhere. I know representation is needed and blah blah blah, but Power just seems to overdo it.

Agreed.

I ain't against nobody in the LGBTQ community as everyone has to have representation but to just make Effie bi out of thin air is just crazy. Last season they have her fukk Tariq now this season she's bi all of sudden and sleeping w/ a possible trans chick? Absolutely wild.

At least in the original Power series when they introduced Jukebox she came in the show as a lesbian. When Raising Kanan started this year at least they went into developing why & how Juke was a lesbian.

It's Courtney's idea, the execs told her to tone down the gay shyt for the audience but she insisted on it.

What else interests you?

I want to challenge my audience. I want to be pushed or to push people. I love honest, frank talk about race, gender and sexuality. It’s not a small thing to me. When we were creating the characters in Ghost, one of the sons in the drug-dealing family is gay and has a relationship. There were people who were like, “You shouldn’t do that because the audience won’t like it.” Well, if you make a show about people who are college-age in 2021 and everyone is straight, you’re an a$$hole. You’re an a$$hole if you make that show.

Once it aired, did you get a sense of what the audience thought?

There were a lot more supporters than detractors. We did get negative pushback from the members of the audience that were like, “What is this, Empire?” For sure. Look at Lil Nas X and how many people come for him — how dangerous it’s been for him. We’ve got to keep pushing. We’ve got to keep pushing on every level.

They certainly making sure to hit their LGBTQ quotas on the Power universe. Was that a tranny Effie was making out with?

I thought her voice was a bit weird.

I treat this show like fast and furious, turn off my brain and enjoy the fukkery

Didn't read the link yet but Courtney Kemp sort of playing fire with the audience Power brings in. If this show start losing a major part of viewers them execs gone start getting her ass.

Power isn't the type of series where the writing is consistently good to begin with. Every damn season has at least 2 filler episodes or character decisions that doesn't make sense. That's why I watch try to watch the shyt when it hits at midnight and get it over with. I'm not trying to take an hour during the day to watch it when I can do something else.

Melanie Liburd is so fine

And is one of the better actors on this show

She fine, didn't know she is English

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Got damn Professor Milgram….

she is stacked

but it looks like the whole cast of Power done smashed:
- Davis MacLean
- jabari
- the detective
- Zeke’s autism Danny Boy lookin ass

shyt, who’s next?

And Effie better stop acting like she doesn’t still have feelings for Tariq. Breh is keeping all of these bytches at arms length and he’s smart for keeping it that way

 

[Stir Fry]

Why’d they do Red like that?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

what was the name of the song when the girls were kissing around 26 minutes???

 

[Michael's Black Son]

got him looking like Ike from South Park

 

[TheJet]

-Tariq is definitely Lloyd Banks son
-why Dry always making that face like he thinking about getting revenge on somebody or he need to shyt?
-Effie dykin'!
-Diana naive AF
-Kane cold AF
-why Mef sound like a supervillain
-Who else expected Monet to start singing when that New Edition was playing?
-Lauren need to just buss it open

 

[Voice of Reason]

This show is pretty much filler to pass the time until Feb 6th.

What happens then?

 

[Peruvian Connect]

What happens then?

Tommy spinoff

It doesn’t make much sense and in like half of semester suddenly Effie is superdyke and beating bytches up in an alley 10 mins after smashing some chick in her dorm.

So we magically forget that she hooked up with Tariq and basically was heartbroken seeing him around Lauren?

I get that she has this tough edge to her but the gay thing seems too forced and now she’s gonna teach Diana how to trap and go to school

Money gonna get wind of it and slap the shyt out of both of them and tell them to go to the basement to make sure right around of brick is there. And it BETTER not be sugar this time

Diana gotta let this going to college shyt go.

First, how the fukk is she gonna magically go to school? Where is her paperwork? Wouldn’t shock me if she never finished high school because those hours are the perfect time to do bookkeeping for Monet and being in one place where eyes can always be on her.


Then, how the fukk is she gonna pay tuition, dorm and expenses.

Next, there is no way Monet even considers it. She flat out don’t want Diana within 10ft of Tariq’s airspace so she damn sure ain’t gonna have her bussing it open on a campus.

So her saying that going to school can help with Zeke’s pro money is dumb when he’s gonna be in the draft shortly while she will STILL be in school.



If Diana wants to run away so badly she better apply to Oxford.
