POWER THREAD (Sun., Starz)

[risveryown]

His other Uncle is Reggie, the football player Vernon's friend from Ballers. He's pretty much the same character.

Dawg, literally the same exact character. I was like yo this dude getting paid to play the same role but 30 years earlier.

Im starting to see why Kanan is all twisted up and messed up. Last week I said the show was buns. Im down with the show now

 

[tramericanjr]

I liked this episode ….. and if I had to assume I think the shows will get better from here

jukebox was disrespect heavy by her girls moms so I know she about to be ruthless

knann showing heart and actually doing things

Omar Epps storyline I wasn’t expecting but should be interesting moving forward

like I said the next couple of episodes should be more fast pace ….. won’t say too much until some of y’all see the episode

 

[ihust1e]

sounds like i should catch this one asap

None of the power mothers are good …

Marvin on his Soulja Boy **** with the story telling.

Anthony Mason knocking off his BM?

Famous talk entirely too much, I already see how his story plays out.

Watching Respect, I'm wondering why Mary is so terrible in Power

Jukebox played one of Aretha's sisters. She looks a lot different with makeup.

So Courtney Kemp is turning this in to a soap opera also with the Omar Epps news.

Another meh episode

 

[Mark Antony]

Mary not a terrible actress but needs good direction as she's new and not flexible like that to elevate material or freestyle. She's solid in Umbrella Academy and is nominated for Mudbound, she has real potential.

The chick young Kanan likes plays a big role in another show I like called Greenleaf.
Young Kanan just had his moms best soldier switch teams because he didn't want him to snitch on the girl he likes. Matter of fact, I want to know what the mom said to make him switch teams.

 

[UsualSuspects]

Man, I wish I can go just join a rival gang without getting jumped in.

i watched Respect last night too and noticed the same. Also, it looked like Raq (Kanan’s mom) was in Respect too as an extra or my eyes could have deceived me. And MJB was a turrrrrible actress in Power but her little role in Respext was aiiight.

-that jukebox scene was hard to watch.
-i hate the rapping boy.
-that thing kanan does with his mouth annoys me.
-raq could tie me up.
-joey badass' acting is the best thing going.
-where they goin' with this symphony angle?

 

[solewoman]

Yeah the jukebox scene was chilling but that was def her turning moment. I felt so bad for her. Especially with the rape comment. The mom was damn near repulsed.

I feel like young K is doing that thing with his mouth the way 50 cent does.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I'm 3 episodes in and even though it's basically what I thought (a TV version of the movie get rich or die tryin movie) it's been ok. The attention to detail for that era is on point.

I feel like him “switching teams” was Raqs idea so he can get close to Unique and clap him or get intel etc

 

[diabolicaldeezy]

Raq

Spoiler

Going to shed a thug tear when she gets aired out

Remember early in the episode when Raq is in the kitchen with her brothers she says she wants to go on offense & know what Nique is doing before he does it, so she plants a mole on his team under the guise of switching teams.

But we don’t have a show if Nique is that stupid so Raq just sent 1 of her best (only? ) soldiers to die.

-where they goin' with this symphony angle?

They’re building him up to write him off so we’re supposed to care more when that happens, especially with him being a civilian.

That's a because it's Power moment

Dude leaves, because he's low on the totem pole(it's four people) to join Unique's crew like he'll be higher.

It looks like they're going to handle the street angle exactly like the OG show.
