Power Season 6 (Official Thread) - No Spoilers

[ISO]

Rolla’s death still hit me the hardest

 

[Golayitdown]

The biggest key with tariq bytch ass was to make him likable and not a bytch ass nikka.

Still trying to see how Kemp figures the most hated antagonist in the history of the show is gonna flip to be a protagonist that people want to watch in a new series. Small tweaks in the Tariq character (and not doing the obvious and killing Ghost) would have done wonders for him going into the next series. Some actual character development in season 6 capped off with a redemption episode like Tommy would have been the perfect setup for Book II.

What were these reasons? Ghost was rough and threatened him because he was being a fukk nikka aka what a father is supposed to do. If anything he was too soft on him.



I totally understand. I rode with Ghost until the end, and hoped that somehow he would still be alive. He wasn't perfect by any stretch but he was clearly the most redeemable character. All he ever tried to do was get out of the game and look out for his people. He did do Tasha dirty with the Angie shyt but she was putting on peep shows for the teenage help in episode one so she wasn't some innocent angel that deserved better. Seriously...Tommy was a hot head psycho. Tasha was a birdbrain whore. Tariq was a spoiled bytch. Yet the dude that was trying to help them, often against their will was the bad guy that needed to die? Think about it...if everyone listened to him it would have gone like this:

Him, Tommy, and Dre successful legit businessmen.
Tasha would be free doing her thing with alimony and whatever nikka she was on for the month.
Ghost and Angie still alive and together
Reyna still alive. Her and Tariq doing their thing in school.
Countless people would still be alive or free

This is what he wanted and tried to make happen. True enough the show wouldn't have made it past episode one if he did get his way. The entire premise of the show was people not listening to Ghost and somehow him being the bad guy for trying to look out or because they fukked up and somehow managed to blame him.

Courtney kemp either doesn’t like Ghost or Omari, probably both.

I heard that she based Ghost off her dad, who I guess she hates.

I heard she has been saying that she didn’t want Ghost to have a happy ending.

And then you gotta think about it like this; kemp probably doesn’t like black men like that and she makes black women look stupid in the show.

She makes Ghost a latina chasing simp that didn’t want his black wife.

She probably dealt with that in real life.

She made tasha a hoe who was street smart and did the dumbest shyt and got herself locked up.

Then she makes tasha show her real self as a black women removing her wig and eyelashes lmao.

I’m telling y’all this Ghost thing is personal. It’s a reflection of kemp’s demons.

She really didn’t want Ghost to make it.

And I also heard that Omari wanted to do something different with Ghost, so that could have been another reason she wanted to do it her way.

For a while I thought Omari wouldn’t have cared, but I’ve heard that he does and didn’t want Ghost to get killed off.

There’s some interviews around about his feelings with the show that I haven’t watched, but it seems he wasn’t with none of this shyt, I don’t think the cast mates either.

I know most nikkas will be like, “this just a show; it isn’t real”, but let me tell you, I actually enjoyed this shyt and I do not watch any TV except basketball, I really liked this show, it could have been 10 more seasons with Ghost for all I care.

I say Ghost should have been governor and they could have found a way to pin the cop on tasha boyfriend or dre somehow.

Then they could do the power 2 bullshyt while Ghost is somewhere doing his thing.

The same story line except Ghost is more in the background, and it’s about Tasha and tariq while he’s in school selling dirt weed.

I should be a writer on this show.

She’s giving fans the middle finger and saying that they’ll watch regardless.

She knows that 99% wanted Ghost to make it, but she insisted that he didn’t, and he didn’t get any kind of ending to his character.

Does that sound fishy or what? How does the main beloved character who has mostly everyone rooting for him, turn into an a$$hole at the very end of the show, literally episode fukkin 10 of the 6th season, then gets killed like he was a bystander.

He got nothing and then the show focused on tariq and tasha.

So you mean to tell me when tasha gets locked up and tariq goes to school there’s no funeral?

The last scene was tasha getting locked up and tariq going to school.

How do they skip the funeral in the show for the most important character? They didn’t even mention it in passing.

It makes no sense.

at 50 including a kanan dark passenger scene in the finale because of his ego

Nah, that's what he gets for killing Bodie.

Facts!!! could have been a dope scene of Tasha at the funeral with all that fake crying and the cops coming in arresting her ass right there..

It's funny because I assumed Omari was on some Jaleel White "I don't want to be typecast" type shyt. I thought this was his call. If that's not the case, it's gotta be something deeper because there is no way you kill off your star like that just because. That said, I was not against Ghost dying or ending up in jail or with some other fukked up ending. My issue was with the writing that got us to that point. There were so many other ways they could have gone with it. They did a piss poor job with Tariq's motive. It was like she had it set in her head that Tariq was gonna kill Ghost and since it was so great to her she didn't feel the need to make it make sense to us.

Even Angela had a funeral.

Could have easily made the last episode two hours and spent the final hour exploring the aftermath of his death, the funeral, the will shyt, the GED and school shyt or at the very least not wasted most of the time they did have on fukking replays (I know I know it was from a different perspective but it really didn't add shyt). Tasha at the funeral getting arrested would have been an all time scene. The overall fukkery of a Ghost funeral could have been epic:

Tate fake ass giving a eulogy
Tariq and Tasha fake crying
Tommy plotting on Tariq while his mama mean mugs him
Saxe doing his creepy Saxe shyt
Kanaan appearing to everyone and saying Ghost really wasn't shyt

They really dropped the ball.

I just hope mary gets a nude scene in book 2

EXCLUSIVE: Power is over, but there’s a lot more big-name wattage coming in the ever-expanding Starz franchise created by Courtney Kemp, including a three-pointer from a Love & Basketball alum.

Omar Epps has joined the cast of prequel Power Book III: Raising Kanan, I’ve learned.

A big name for what aims to be a big show in the now quartet of Power spinoffs headed for the small screen over the next year, Epps comes to the series based on the backstory of the now deceased character played by Curtis “50 Cent’ Jackson on the February 9 concluding mother-show for a recurring role on NBC blockbuster This Is Us.

While no specific details of Epps’ role are known, the House vet is playing a major figure in the Power cannon, I hear.

Being that Raising Kanan is the only Power spinoff to take place in the past, it is pretty clear whoever the Brooklyn-born Epps is portraying will have reach in the mainly New York-set world of the franchise. Reach that could stretch, one way or another, to the Mary J. Blige-led and Method Man, Michael Rainey Jr., Shane Johnson and Naturi Naughton starring Power Book II: Ghost, the Larenz Tate-led Power Book IV: Influence and the now L.A.-based Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) driven Power Book V: Force.

Along with Kemp’s End of Episode banner, 50 Cent’s his G-Unit Film and Television and Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Lionsgate TV is producing the four Powerspinoffs series for Starz

Fatherless to Fatherhood author Epps is repped by CAA, manager Eli Selden at Anonymous Content and Beverly Hills-based law firm Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush & Kaller.

Breeze?

 

[Balla]

I wonder if raising kanan is a play off of raising canes?

 

[Balla]

I really would like to continue to watch power, especially the kanan and tommy shows.

But I can’t after such a horrible ending of the main show.

This is exactly what kemp wanted; to fukk with your head.

Why couldn’t that bytch have Ghost live? Or at least get in to a cool shootout with a villain and have it end that way?

Why you had to do that bytch?! I wanted to see these shows.

bytch.
