It's nice seeing a Noma more multifaceted this season we see her as a mother, lover , her home. As opposed to last season where she arrive in the dark of the night out of no where with Obi just to give orders along with reminders of "consequences "😢

As a mid season finale a 6/10. As a regular episode a 8/10

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

I agree with you 100% on these scores. For a midseason finale, I feel like something major needed to happen. Don Carter being revealed as a dirty cop was a good twist but I feel like if a character on the cast was taken out that would be a far better way to go out with a break. I'm sure this will probably happen in episode 6 or 7 but we will have to wait and see if thats the plan.

@gradetrend8138 3 месяца назад

@@joebloe4491 well remember at the time the season was written and subsequently filmed predated the decision to cancel the show, so hence episode 5 was a mid season episode. Mid season episodes number 5 on a 10 series show always have major plot twists but not the effect

I didn't see that coming Detective Carter being dirty

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

I think they did a good job dropping clues about this with the biggest one being the previous episode where he refused to follow the Zion lead that Kamaal Tate suggested. That was a sign to me that something more was going on with him as a character and now we got the confirmation that he is dirty. Very curious to see where things go from here with him.

@gradetrend8138 3 месяца назад

I want to add, the presentation of Detective Carter motives on the surface may seem justifiable, when he gives a speech if you can't beat em join em and not that someone innocent shouldn't be hurt blah blah but it's all very illegal

@gradetrend8138 3 месяца назад

@@RichardBaileyJr yes I didn't make the connection between the two. The writers twist was that Carter basically was saying he can't stop the game, but he can control it by letting some people off the hook go after others, set rules etc. And then asking for a cut , all of this is illegal and a very serious felony in its own right He's dirty period. I like that this podcast includes people like yourself. Behind the scenes and had a role in the creative process that is far more interesting to me than when the other talent is interviewed. They are just acting a role

@gradetrend8138 3 месяца назад

@@RichardBaileyJr I missed that clue took it the exchange at face value. Noma killed Obi, Mecca killed his right hand man same story different characters

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

@@gradetrend8138 You made some very great points and we definitely thank you for taking the time to listen to the podcast. I do want to clarify though that I definitely don't work for Starz lol We just think about the show from a writing aspect too since we are all writers and Gary is a published author. I'm very curious to see how many react to Don Carter's turn and I agree 100% with you that what he is doing is highly illegal. The whole idea of if you can't beat them join them makes sense but by this logic every character on the show definitely should be punished for their actions. It feels like now Carter will be the main one getting taken down by the end but I'm curious to see if another twist is coming that leads to other characters going out too.

Many blessings to you. I was grateful for the opportunity to speak on some of the health complications Dana and I face. That's something I appreciate Starz for doing, bringing light to these struggles.

@sjsmith28 3 месяца назад

I feel like the difference between noma in season 3 and season 4 is that in season 3 she was the big bad and now she’s and Carter is so they had to make her more vulnerable

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

You’re right and they definitely made her more vulnerable this season with the inclusion of Anya. I do however want to see what happens between her, Cane, and Davis. It’s all a chess game between Cane trying to position himself to take over Noma’s operation while Davis is keeping her distracted from messing with Tariq. Now that they know Tariq and Brayden are back in the drug game it’s only a matter of time before things get more dangerous.

@gradetrend8138 3 месяца назад

The Power universe is what's sustaining the Starz network in my opinion. I think that's why they had to split Ghost , and make us wait until the Fall pathetic.

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

You are 100% right about this which is why I questioned when they decided to start canceling these shows. I guess BMF and P-Valley both have decent size audiences which is why they are both still getting renewed. Power however is the series that got Starz more attention though from the beginning and they definitely should know and treat the franchise better.

@sjsmith28 3 месяца назад

I think it’s also because they want to end around the same time as the premiere of force and force just now finished filming

@tracylee4451 3 месяца назад

Tariq, becoming the Apex Predator, proves that the decision to take out James Jaime Gh0st St Patrick was premature and faulty. I was terribly let down with the acid trip. I so wanted to see Ghost. I am done with the return of Ghost 😢😂 to this show. These last two episodes were entertaining, but I'm not anxiously awaiting the last 5. I will finish the season. My husband suffers from a chronic illness. He has Crohn's disease, so I appreciated both Gary and Dana sharing your personal experiences. I also appreciate that they added a very debilitating disease dynamic to the show. Professor Abercrombie I loved your analogy of the Monster Mom Monet it was spot on. The art piece representing the Tejada kids was exceptional. When I fist saw the scene I only referenced Dru as an individual and how I felt that art piece spoke to him. I don't like how Det Carter and his taskforce keeps underestimating Kamal. I really hope he doesn't get taken out. Now that we know Carter to be on dual sides, I am looking for something different to take place. We still don't know his disdain towards Tariq and if this could possibly tie into Kamal heading up an investigation into Carter. I liked the thought of Tariq finding out what happened to Carter's wife and using it to his advantage. I can also see it being Carter's downfall even with him being decorated. I agree that we have seen Cane's character progress more than Tariq's and I can see a spinoff for him. I still feel that Cane is looking for a mommy figure's approval tho. His looking at Noma during the playschool fight scene with Zion reminded me of a kid showing off for his mommy 😂. The fight was one we could see in a school yard. I wanted something better and I certainly didn't want to see Cane looking at Noma. Noma's character has been diminished. Zion's character has been diminished too. Also, was it just me, but was Zion's picture on Elle's nightstand? I am going to go back and rewatch. They have reduced Effie's role as well. We have seen Noma cut off a hand and take folks out over a ring why did she give lil orphan Effie a pass 😂? Brayden does need a minute to figure out his life away from Tariq. Davis and Noma are officially our resident Thotties 😂. The season finale was disappointing yet slightly entertaining. My comments are all over the place just like this damn episode. I did enjoy your review. I don't want to see Tariq get taken out. I want to see his daddy take those oranges 🍊 to his chest and now his chin😂. Great review ❤ as always. I am looking forward to what you guys have planned during the hiatus. I hope the three of you are developing your own show since Richard has resigned (rightfully so😂) as the writing consultant for Power😂😂

@GarySwaby 3 месяца назад

Sorry to hear about your husband's Chrohns. I've heard that condition is very painful and uncomfortable. I hope he is coping well. Excellent comment as always, it really does seem like Cane still has mummy issues, and he's now treating Noma as his mummy. The dude in Elle's picture does look similar to Zion ngl lol. But if it is him then surely Brayden would recognize that as he deals directly with Zion. I saw the trailer, and it looks like Cane will fight Tariq again and get the better of him lol. I'm curious to see where they take this, but I'm not excited.

@tracylee4451 3 месяца назад

@@GarySwaby thank you Gary. Crohn's is painful. My husband receives treatments every 6 weeks. They help, but with all medications and chronic illnesses it is not curable. He has had horror stories with hospital personnel undervaluing his pain as well. I pray for everyone suffering from a chronic illness. Cane definitely has mom/mum issues. He keeps telling Noma she only needs his protection. I hope that the writers don't diminish her character to be that foolish. It seems she and her daughter are on the show to hand out "coochie coupons" (shout out to comedian Adele Givens who first came up with that many years ago) I said the same thing about Brayden being able to recognize Zion in the picture, but I said three things could be going on. 1. It isn't Zion. 2. Brayden so out of it he isn't paying attention. 3. We all look alike 😅 I'm kidding about the latter. Now if it were his brother or daddy the 3rd comment would be applicable😅. I saw the trailer as well and I thought Zion was choking Tariq out. I have to rewatch it. I am not excited, but I will hold out on hope for the remaining shows. Thanks again for the response and you guys' great assessment on this platform.

@@tracylee4451Sorry for the late response to this comment as I was slightly triggered by this episode and needed a few days to process 😂 On a serious note, I definitely send my well wishes to your husband. As I get older, I have noticed health becomes a major concern for us all. While I know there will be good and bad days, I hope he is able to manage and avoid as much pain as possible. As for Power itself, I do agree the episode was slightly entertaining but definitely disappointing. That club scene definitely triggered me because there was potential for that to be so much more than it was 😂 I like the comment about the Zion picture and my guess is if he is the one choking Tariq it’s because Tariq or Brayden did something to Elle. There are many possibilities with where they can go but we will see what happens. I’m not excited to see the second half but I’m a fan so I definitely will be watching regardless out of principal lol

@tracylee4451 2 месяца назад

@RichardBaileyJr 🤣🤣no problem for the late response. I figured you were out submitting your writing credentials to another show, especially after this episode😅😅. Thanks for the well wishes to my husband. I appreciate that, and yes, the older we get, the more our health becomes an issue. Anyway, people seem to think that when this episode was initially filmed, they had no plans of canceling the show. This could be the reason it didn't give us all more of what we wanted. I'm sure Tariq will find out about Elle, and she will meet her fate. We will see what happens.

@raineyj560 3 месяца назад

Agree w Richard, this episode didn't move me. Brayden's girl drugging Tariq was just like Holly putting the hit on Ghost w both Brayden & Tommy "what did u do" even Zion calling Brayen "tiny Tommy or little Tommy, I forgot just has the show not being creative enough

@RichardBaileyJr 3 месяца назад

This was a great comparison about Holly trying to setup Ghost as I definitely remember that from the OG show. I think Elle as a character definitely will cause more fallout between Tariq and Brayden but it might not be as severe since they are still shown teaming up in the new final episodes teaser trailer. We will have to wait and see what happens but yeah I was disappointed with this episode especially as a midseason finale.

@sjsmith28 3 месяца назад

I feel like Diana saying that she used a condom with salim and not Tariq was the only way they could prove Tariq was the father because she slept with him and salim within days of each other at first I thought that they were gonna have Diana tell salim that she was pregnant and then he responds by saying he can’t have kids but if they did that then salim would’ve told Tariq when he came to his house and then we wouldn’t have gotten the stand off between Tariq, Monet and Diana I am happy that whole “who is the father” storyline is over now because I feel like they spent too much time this episode building on Tariq being a father just for him not to be and even though Diana was talking about how she wanted to keep her baby away from the game I feel like she’s gonna get more involved in it so she can provide for her baby

@GarySwaby 3 месяца назад

If Salim is dead, it wouldn't make much sense to revisit him being the father storyline. Tariq is the main character so i think that's what they'll go with. However, history has shown us that anything can happen. We didn't see police find Salim's body yet. He's just "missing". I'm honestly surprised they didn't show the body being found in this episode. Could this be another Lauren situation?

@rywon5287 2 месяца назад

I’m not going to lie guys you constantly talk about a London power spin off personally I don’t ever see that ever happening. Power works good because it’s in America. It would never work in the UK. That’s just in my opinion but I think just keep power to the US.

@RichardBaileyJr 2 месяца назад

I agree with this and if the overall show quality will be lackluster then they definitely should avoid making a London spin-off lol

@GarySwaby 2 месяца назад

I'm hoping they don't do the London spin-off too. We just started getting a bunch of really good British made shows on Netflix. Ones that are organic and authentic. Top Boy, Supacell, Kin etc... I feel like Power would dilute that. Keep Power in the US because that's what the experience we watch it for

@rywon5287 2 месяца назад

Im not gonna lie this was a disappointment 5th episode to this season and in all honesty I think the writers have dropped the ball when it comes to storylines on ghost. Season one and two I really enjoyed they had some good storylines despite some of the acting from Mary J. Blige but the last two seasons have been poor in my opinion, this is probably why views have drop off and they decided to cancel the show. you guys talk about spin off in the power universe but in my opinion they will finished raising Kanan, Ghost and Force once they’ve done Power origins I personally think they’ll end the universe. to me It’s getting a bit boring now and unrealistic with teenage kids who are fighters and trained assassins. I like raising Kanan because we know where roughly is going to end. But after that, I think they should end it, I think since Courtney has left to the writing on the show went downhill big time in my opinion
