POWER THREAD (Sun., Starz)

[ill steelo]

Something happened he seems jaded

They killed him off instead of giving him a raise He was the only legitimate actor out of 50+ ppl and it showed He was the entire show, so I get it.

Similar **** happened to New York Undercover way back when. Higher ups stingy with the checkbook, they write ya off

 

[executive76]

He earned a raise but had no leverage. How many people can name another character Omari played before or after Power? His rate is up and his demand is around the same.

Michael Jai White was their first choice for Ghost.
He's worked on like 7 projects since he left Power and it's been QUIET. A movie of his with J. Lo recently dropped on Netflix and I didn't see anything about it before I went to his IG.

Hopefully the strike doesn't prolong the next season's release. They can go ahead and wrap this up in season 4.

They’ve been shooting season 4 for a while now so not sure that means regarding the writing aspect.

Saxe mentioned the episode with him getting killed was shot well over a year ago on the podcast too

Valid point, that’s how it is with any negotiation. No leverage, you gotta acquiesce.

And yea I’m familiar with his work, you’re right, box office he is not And that’s unfortunate, the man is talented, but one of many

MJW would’ve been CRAZY Damn, wonder why he turned that down. Probably the money too

According to him there was a scheduling conflict.

Based on ep 9&10 I wouldn't be surprised if ghost made an appearance next season

 

[wavycrocket]

Last 10 minutes of episode 9 through the whole episode 10 this show morphed into a whole new show.

In what way?

 

[risveryown]

In what way?

It was like they abandoned everything they set up until then and went straight back to that OG Power circa season 4-6 levels of ****ery.

They said if we’re going to be outlandish let’s go all the way absurd.

True, but the bolded part is wrong:

I be half trolling, but it says something about Michael Rainey Jr that STARZ was able to build a multi year, successful spinoff on a child actor turned adult.

***** literally growing up before our eyes. Bad writers and all. He deserves better, tbh.

Bruh Diana came in Riq room calling him a snitch, apologized, asked what are we and didnt like his answer so she set him up …CANT TRUST NON OF EM

 

[WASHED KING]

I watched Episodes 9 & 10.

POWER IN ITS BAG.

RIQ > HIS PAPI.

 

[Magic33]

So we didn't get an episode this week, but the last two episodes leaked?

 

[usabasketball08]

Bruh, those last two episodes were so ridiculous. I don’t know where to start.




Good show though.

Diana needs to die B. She has single handedly caused most issues.

[tay1]

Somehow power episodes keep conveniently leaking lol

 

[Maximus Meridius]

So this why they went full blown with this goofy storyline of Tariq running NY.

nah he still alive. I rewatched the scene and hes still shooting at them after that brief scene where it looked like he was dropped. Pay attention to his outfit.

 

[T0INE]

Damn man, y'all gone make me look up these episodes.

 

[T0INE]

MJW would’ve been CRAZY Damn, wonder why he turned that down. Probably the money too

Yeah he would've been crazy in the PowerVerse.

Taking down entire drug cartels by himself with the kung fu.

Courtney would've probably had him doing his Black Dynamite character with all the sound effects too.

 

[dmvisrnb]

9 and 10 were entertaining AF

Yeah I peeped it, I meant he def shot dude

This ***** Tariq lost all the *****es in one swoop

 

[ronsweedroom]

I’m still sitting here wondering how the whole power series was centered around ghost, tommy, Tasha and kanan controlling the drug game in New York.

Fast forward, bad acting Monet J Blige and book 2 would it make it seem like New York is the size of Texas and no one knew about them.

Spoiler: Spoiler

and what was the whole grooming arc about? Tariq been on his fast and furious arc 3 seasons but he’s not all the way in? So the writing is going to get even more outlandish?
