He was a major underworld figure and supposedly a master Machiavellian planner so it stands to reason that he would keep his will current. Dude risked his life at least once per episode, so it's not crazy to prepare for an untimely demise. If he died after Tariq finished college then it wouldn't matter anyway. Tariq was still a child, a child that was on some major bullshyt for the last few years of Ghost's life. That was basically a way of forcing his hand even if he died, as he figured he would be able to turn him around if he lived. I doubt the Tommy and Paz shyt was last minute. Tommy was his man and Paz was the love of his life's next of kin.

I think them getting more than 10 when they’ve typically been bound by 10 is what did them in. The entire season felt rushed yet lingered in places. It’s like they weren’t aware that 15 is bigger than 10 but still not another full season and they couldn’t bullshyt around trying to fill that time.
In Power’s timeline, it makes sense if he changed his will when Angie got killed. Remember, these events take place over months, not years.
On the Tariq note, he was (and still is) a dumb ass kid when Ghost last modified his will. Ghost didn’t think his own kid would kill him so it’s plausible that since Tariq is next in line (with Tasha completely frozen out, Raina dead, and Yaz being somewhere between 3 and 8 depending on the NY labor laws and which kid is playing her
) Ghost wanted to ensure that his life’s legacy is not thrown away as soon as Tariq gets the money. Up until Tariq actually killed Ghost, he just needed to man the fukk up and stop fukking around. Getting out of the streets and applying himself to get a 4 year degree from college with a decent GPA was a good start. Even if Ghost died years down the line, based on his character, I could see him still adding some constraints to make sure Riq has his shyt together before getting the inheritance.

This is why I wouldn't have minded if he were involved with killing Ghost, make it mean something. At least it would be a believable twist.
It seems didn’t have any idea of what to do with him and literally used him as a means to an end for Tasha to end up on jail.

They had dude tell Tasha he can take care of Ghost for her, mean muggin him and shyt just for him to be like nah and slide to the 7/11 to cop a Red Bull

They should just let him and Tasha kill Ghost which could have still resulted in her being in jail and getting Tariq his spinoff without him being the one to pull the trigger.
I still think she’s lying about having different murder scenes set for all suspects filmed. Either that or Starz is holding on to it for deleted scenes to add in the show’s DVD release.

She said that?
She said that?
Power Series Finale: EP Courtney Kemp Reveals the 'Amazing' Episode Ending 'No One Will Ever See'
She specifically mentions that they had a multiple endings for all suspects involved, which I think her and 50 were referring to a few days. If she mentions how that Starz won’t let her use the unused footage, then why even hype it up or mention it from the beginning when the leaks first happened?

Still feel like they would have to re-write the last 5 episodes, because the way they went only leaves 1 outcome. Like for example Dre dies in the first ep of the 5, so wouldn't they have to re-write everything for it to make sense?
Exactly, which is why she should have never mentioned having the multiple scenes shot for all suspects especially since she contradicted herself after saying Tommy and the suspects (outside of Tariq and Tasha) were never an option.
She intentionally lies and mislead viewers and flat out gives spoilers when she necessarily doesn’t have to. The Angela and her gun situation and Truth being destroyed she mentioned the night of mid-season finale comes to mind.

Just got mad all over again over that "Dad, I'm you" bullshyt. shyt was so forced and just straight up fiction. Since when did Ghost go out of his way to screw and eventually kill people that bent over backwards to help him? Since when did Ghost not take responsibilty for his actions and expect others to just take the weight just because and disrespect the fukk out of those others while expecting that 
Why couldn't this nikkas Michael Rainey Jr. parents be on some Culkin shyt and ask for too much money and get him put off the show?

Preach bro. Ghost was a good dude. He only killed when needed to. He’d try to pay you off and give you a whole new life elsewhere as a first option unless you really needed to go. But regular civilians he wasn’t just bodying for fun.Just got mad all over again over that "Dad, I'm you" bullshyt. shyt was so forced and just straight up fiction.

All he wanted was to go legit and for Tariq to have a better life than he did growing up
Why? The actual shooter hasn't been caught. Everyone's ending is implausible no matter who the killer is.
