Official POWER Book II: GHOST Season 3 Thread

[Tha_Mac]

I always felt like they wanted to make Ghost more unlikable and more of an evil b*stard, but it was too late for that. It doesn't help that he was surrounded by some of the most unlikable characters on TV, an All-Star Game of people you just want to punch in the face on sight. They tried to do what The Sopranos did with Tony by saying that Ghost changed, but they did it in such a forced, half-assed way, nobody believed it. What reason do I have to sympathize with Tariq or Tasha over Ghost? When he was celebrating becoming Lorette Walsh's running mate, I was happy for him. Leave these awful people behind and enjoy your new life in Albany.

The irony is that after all this is over, Tariq is still inheriting two-thirds of Ghost's assets. Once he gets over this, he's going to be set for life all because of the plan Ghost set up. What's he going to do then? Complain that his dad never helped him out with anything and start selling drugs inside Truth?

You must've been late to the party. I stopped liking Ghost around late season 2 and certainly by mid season 3. He was still an interesting, complex and entertaining character but I wasn't rooting for him.

That probably has something to do with Omari, the brother is talented but I don't think he would be someone I would wanna hang with.

It came out he was difficult to work with and thought he was untouchable. It makes sense when you look at things. They didnt have to kill Ghost, but they did. Then they used damn near all the major players from OG Power in all these spinoffs.

Cane is literally turning into a more resourceful Monet and it’s super obvious.

Mans has a 24-hour attitude just like her, openly shíts on his own father — but unlike his mom he’s motivated and focused on proving that he deserves his own crown. Dude ain’t waiting around anymore for the torch to be passed. And he appears to be succeeding.

He’s willing to dole out the orders but careful about bussing his gun recklessly like in the past. He’d rather Brayden (or someone else) crash out then become a liability for himself. He’ll show up to chat with Diana at Stansfield but not engage in fukkery because he sees a bigger picture especially on a block that’s much hotter.

Will be curious to see what the dynamic with Monet and him will be since he’s at his “own” crib, away from her and the connect is his to do what he wants — with Lorenzo begrudgingly on board because he doesn’t want his Zeke-ret (LOL) to be exposed.

Cane isn’t going soft by any means but he’s thinking like someone who backed away from the chessboard a little and sees more of the pieces in play.

Funny you say that, because I started watching Power in season three. Don't get me wrong, Ghost wasn't perfect by any means. Right before Angela died, he lied to her by saying he didn't kill Silver. This was supposed to be the start of their new relationship and he can't help but lie to her. And the worst part is, he didn't kill Silver for knowing too much or being a threat. He just killed him so Tasha didn't move on from him, and left the body in the parking garage like an idiot.

Ghost had some redeeming qualities that kept him from being completely evil. At least he cared about the people around him and looked out for them. But look at the closest people in his life. Tommy as his best friend, Tasha as his wife, and Tariq as his male heir. It's a miracle that Ghost didn't kill himself dealing with all three of them at the same time.

Tariq was his son who he left to be raised by the streets. Tariq loved his dad. Dad broke his heart repeatedly, The actor just wasn't strong enough to pull off the material. But Ghost is totally at fault for what Tariq became.

Tariq wasn't abandoned in the streets by Ghost and forced to fend for himself. He was a wannabe gangster that overachieved. All he had to do was stay in his room, play basketball and video games, and get good grades. Remember when Tariq was interested in basketball and video games? He was a normal person that breathed our air and he had actual thoughts beyond "sell drugs," "I love Kanan," and "fukk Ghost"?

Everything Tariq did was 100% his fault. He got multiple people killed, constantly looked out for himself, and never took responsibility for anything. He faked a kidnapping by the Italians so he could get paid, putting his life, Ghost's life, and Tommy's life in danger. He's what would happen if we were supposed to take Jackie Jr. or Matt Bevilaqua and Sean Gismonte seriously. You can check the season six Power thread for my in-depth thoughts on this, but let me sum it up with my catchphrase: Tariq is a fukking sociopath.

Tariq was abandoned by Ghost Ghost had Tariq excited about the Knicks game. Then he abruptly says we ain't going, no explanations , no apologies, nothing. He then make shim hang out with a "reformed" criminal adult, who then allows him to egt manipulated by Kanan. Not once did Ghost look into Tariq's "friends" and where abouts. That's bad parenting and leaving ya kids to be raised by the streets.

Agreed.

Cane doesn't need Monet or anyone at this point.

Brayden is in his pocket, has connects and owes his many times over — and he is holding a secret over his head. And Cane could literally slither off and do his own thing independent of everyone as long as he has the cooler head.
