Franklyn stopping Leon from
beating up a young John singleton
was a dope ass touch man.
Goat show......dope finale

 

[Wise]

Really though, he caused all this drama and now he is sitting their quiet as a church mouse

I believe he was being quiet out of respect for Franklin's mom and dad.

 

[Peter Popoff]

I don't think any of this was really a dream sequence after all. This episode was of events prior to Season 1 leading up to present day Franklin Saint. Basically, how the hell we all got here...until when he woke up out of that ice bath.

Getting kicked out of college
Learning to control his temper in order to see the bigger picture
Catching up with Leon, who just got out of jail
Him trying to work the convenience store gig
Them selling weed for Jerome
Maybe Jerome and Louie had a miscarriage or stillborn. Sissy went there with them when they had that meeting. Low blow. Something happened.
We heard Wanda, but never saw a child

I'm guessing weeks have passed since Saint got shot, since the wounds are healed and he's in therapy (ice baths)...in 1984.

Mel is probably a basehead, doing basehead ish still. Wasn't no rehab or cleaning up stone cold in 1984. I'm sure the cop friend got her out of there.
Manboy and Stacy at war, but neither of them got a coke connect like that... so that won't last unless... Saint gets them back in business.
Leon, Jerome, and the fam just laid low waiting to see what Saint would do.
Stacy nor Manboy seem to have a problem with Jerome, so....
Red vs Blue...this was inevitable
Reid gonna team with Franklin and flood the hood with crack.
Oso got the tunnel to Tijuana, so...new distribution route....in 1984.
Someone gonna drop a dime to a reporter about CIA's involvement in this, possibly Reid's wife

Nina Simone always have me feeling a way. So much tension and feeling in her music. Soul music for real.

I liked this episode a lot. The reset is about to be crazy.

Na, it was a dream sequence cause dude that robbed the store Franklin was working at was never dead. He helped Franklin in an earlier season and then turned and raped some dude that robbed him.

 

[Wise]

can someone post that John Singleton scene?

 

[Dontay Flaco]

I really liked this ep.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

4 episodes made up for 6 iffy ones

I expect next season to be wayyy better

 

[Loken]

soon as i saw the red all i could think of

yall know this cat gonna show up next season at some point

 

[BlaqkSpliffin]

This episode was cool but last week's ep felt like the season finale (and should have been it) and this ep felt more like a season opener. You can tell they thought the show prolly wouldn't get renewed.






I can tell by the way this season ended that John died before these last episodes were filmed and the tweet by Damson Idris confirmed it.

One of my peeves was no gangs but I said maybe they just doin like Boyz N Da Hood and being subtle with em. They should've been in season 2 if u gon do em or the start of this season when Leon got the automatic weapons. Now it feels kinda thrown together because Stacy & Manboy's crews wouldn't be doing busines as seperate gangs. We should've been seeing rags all season.

How so

In his alternate reality Franklin's father dies because he's still on the streets cause Franklin never moves out which gave his parents a chance to reconnect after he was beat by the police. In that world Andre and Franklin are still cool cause Franklin hasn't done anything to put them at odds. Franklin choosing to do what he did ultimately saved his father and Leon while dooming Wanda, Mel and Andre.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

Everything that happened before Franklin walked into his house with the cane was dream sequence.

This shyt was dope.

Was they saying that no matter what reality we go to certain people are doomed?

Blck people gonna have to struggle?

Why was the bikes hung up on poles when they went to Leon’s projects?

Why they kept focusing in on little red objects? Was that supposed to symbolize blood?

That white girl was kicking game and I loved it. Complete opposite of what a black man from the hood is used to but she led him to his demise or salvation? We will see. Does the white girl symbolize cocaine?

Leon looked a lot more hardcore with the braids.

I had forgotten how beautiful Mel was that quick. Salute to the makeup team on the show.

I wonder if they gonna introduce a crack funded record label before it’s all over? Would be dope to see an Eazy E type character pop up.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

Yea it's pretty easy to tell that Wanda was to Leon what Mel was to Franklin.

My question is: Did they show what sparked the beef between Manboy and Skully in a previous episode? Or are we to take that as drug dealers/opposing gang members fighting over territory?

Like someone else said, Manboy ambitious and was prolly tired of dealing with that crazy ass nikka.

I can understand why some people didn’t like the episode. You gotta think outside the box a bit and given the energy of the last few episodes this one slowed things back down again.

I loved it tho. Brilliant way of using all three seasons. Linked his different fears. It just made more sense to have him in a dream like that during his coma. If this was a series finale then it would’ve been bad but now we got cliffhangers everywhere including what the gangs will mean in S4.

Real shyt tho, if they was gon introduce gangs anyway they should’ve done it much sooner since Bloods/Crips been around since the 70s. Could’ve even linked it with his dad’s Panther past since the Crips started out as junior Panthers.

 

[BlackDynamite310]

nikkas been bytching bout not seeing gangs running around killing each other for the past 3 seasons now that they finally introduced them nikkas man cuz now it seem to late. Make up y’all damn mind. They been had gangs in this show but the show wasn’t bout gangs. It’s about drugs and the CIA.

 

[Stir Fry]

It's an alternative reality where Franklin doesn't sell coke and the government (Reed) sees an intelligent black kid with potential and decides to aid him as oppose to introducing him to a more negative lifestyle.

We are supposed to look at this as the way that their lives could have been had cocaine not been introduced.

Leon and Wanda had a baby because Wanda wasn't a fiend.
Franklin's aunt and uncle had a baby because they still only selling weed and not as deep into the drug game as coke got them.
Reed isn't selling coke to fund the Contras.

The interesting thing is that it doesn't show some magical world where everybody's life is simply "better" because crack doesn't exist
Everybody was still dealing with the trials and tribulations of coming from where they are from, but crack made things so much more worse.

I think he still ends up selling for the cia. I took this episode more as showing that certain people are just destined for certain things, no matter what reality they're living in. I like how they left it open for interpretation though.

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

Best damn show on television.

Best episode of the season.

The scene where he had to go home after being asked to leave school hit home hard.

The tribute to young Singleton.

This show doesn’t need acclaim or awards, it deserves them.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Strange Fruit

Never a good sign when you hear that song on a film. That song represents blacks being killed more than any other piece of music. Such an eerie song.

 

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

Y'all nikkas ain't never satisfied smh

Episode was about the realities of Franklins decisions and how he's the catalyst for how all these people life ended up. For some his decision to sell drugs literally saved them. For others it doomed them. The duality and weight of our choices.

I’m like are these guys really bytching about the corny ass gang tropes we have been seeing since forever in these shows?

The episode reminds me of the half measure episode from Breaking Bad.
