Power Season 2 Finale Review

Hey People,

So all's well that ends well, sort of. The season finale wasn't anything special, but it does set things up for the next season. For our 2 love birds, they do get back together and I'm glad the show didn't dwell on them being apart because we all know they would eventually, so I'm glad the show didn't waste time on getting them together. Too bad they both have people coming after them. Lobos is coming after Ghost and Greg is coming after Angela. I doubt Tommy is going to kill Jamie, but I don't think he's smart enough to outwit Lobos. Maybe he'll go to Jamie or Tasha for help. As for Angela, Greg won't stop until she loses everything, but I'm pretty sure Jamie won't let that happen.

Hey People,

Goodbye Shawn, I knew you and I liked you I just didn't like you and Tasha so you had to die. Actually, I thought he was going to run away like Ghost told him to and not take Tasha with him, but when he texted her I said "Fine, take the bitch with you." But then he did something stupid. He went back to Kanan to return the gun and say he couldn't pull the trigger. That was just dumb and for that he deserves to die. Too harsh? Okay, he didn't deserve to die, but he definitely doesn't deserve tears. Not even one droplet. I can no longer dream of Lashawn #disappointment

I knew something was going to happen to Shawn when he texted Tasha. There was no way Tasha was leaving city and be never heard from again. I described the death scene as sad and disturbing because any death is sad really and the fact that Kanan killed his own son was just morbid.

In other news, Tommy got out of jail on account of the sketch not being admissible. Angela lost this round to Ghost. I wish I kept count to see who was up. I'm pretty sure it's Ghost just because he's been playing Angela since the beginning of the season. Now Angela is pissed as hell that Ghost helped Tommy get off. She really can't be mad though because they both have used each other. Ghost thinks that they can be together now, but what he doesn't know is Angela doesn't like losing. They finally say the forbidden word that couldn't be spoken in their presence--Ghost. Their love affair is over, but I'm wondering how long this is going to last because there is only 1 episode left (season finale tonight!) and I like it better when it's them against the world, but right now it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. Next season can very much be Angela vs. Jamie.

As for the season finale tonight, let's just say it does end on a sort of happy note, but someone has to choose between their girl and their best friend. And of course, someone is going to die. That's what happens when you play the game.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Well that was an exciting hour of television. Finally the moment has arrived. Jamie and Angela, both know the truth now. So where do we go from here? Tommy is in jail, Lobos is finally caught, and Ghost's dealers have turned against him. I'm looking forward to see what happens after the "climax". Let's not forget that Tommy knows everything about Angela and Jamie, but there is no way he would give up Jamie, right?

Even though everything is out in the open between Jamie and Angela, there is still other forces other than lies that will get in their way. Shawn knows the truth about Jamie sending Kanan to jail and has volunteered to kill Jamie. But he's not the only one who wanted to kill Ghost. Lobos was also planning to kill Jamie and even set the room Dexter style as a nice setting for his dead body. Angela definitely saved Jamie from his death, so now I wonder who can James run to. He can't go to Lobos, Tommy, or Kanan. Tasha doesn't want his ass either now that she's with Shawn. I think the only person he can run to and wants to run to is Angela, even if she did set him up. I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Lucky for you, I have already watched the new episode tonight and I can tell you that a major character will die tonight. It's kind of sad and disturbing at the same time. As for Angela and Jamie, let's just say they're both on denial when it comes to their 5 stages of grief, but by the end of the episode Angela is straight up on anger.

Hey People,

For a second there, I thought Angela would get duped again, but she pulled one over on Jamie. It seems like when it comes to mind games Angela wins. This is such an interesting relationship to me because I've never seen on TV, a relationship not built on trust, but solely on love. Neither of them trust each other, but they still love each other anyway.

Angela finally finds Holly after Jamie tells her the new name he gave her. When Angela encounters Holly, Holly tells her a lie about how she wanted to protect Tommy by stating Jamie was Ghost. Jamie already was in contact with Holly and told her to lie to Angela about who he really is. Angela vows to keep going after Tommy to get Lobos. Now that Jamie knows Ghost isn't who she's really after, will he be more willing to help her and come out with the truth?

Tasha wants a divorce from Jamie. The problem is she signed a prenup and if she initiates the divorce she'll lose everything (that's a really nice clause to have in a prenup, just saying), so the divorce attorney tells her to stay married and live separate lives, which is basically what they're doing now. Tasha and Shawn are getting hot, even though I'm not into them. Jamie figures out Shawn is hiding things from him and assumes it's because of Kanan.

Tommy is paranoid and has every reason to be since Angela is on his ass and I'm wondering if this is the end of Tommy and Holly. Will we see Holly again? Now that Angela copied Jamie's phone, she has to find out the truth now, right? None of it is admissible in court since she doesn't have a warrant, but the look on her face will be worth it. Even better, the look on Jamie's face when he finds out she knows everything will be priceless.

Luv ya,

Hey People,

S2 E6
This season is shaping up to be better than the 1st season. As I stated last time, I love how Angela has the upper hand now and even though she does, she still can't stop loving James and James can't stop loving her as Tasha pointed out. Tasha, by the way, was on point with her assessment of the situation. She totally was the girl he settled for, but at least now she can finally be okay with sleeping with Shawn, which I'm still not okay with personally. However, Tasha did give the go ahead for James to continue to sleep with Angela to ensure the protection of James and herself, but I'm pretty sure he would have continued to do that regardless of Tasha giving the OK sign.

Angela asked Holly to look for evidence that would incriminate James, but nothing pans out. This is the first time that I actually liked Holly in the whole series. Most of the time I'm always wishing she was dead, but this time I actually did want her to stay for Tommy's sake, but when I watched that ending, I clearly changed my mind. Holly came clean about her working with the feds to clear Tommy's name as Ghost and when Tommy got upset, she told him to choose between her and Ghost. Good thing Tommy was handcuffed because I'm pretty sure he would have killed Holly right then and there. Now Holly has become the most interesting character to me. I don't know what her next move will be. Ghost wants her gone and Tommy chose Ghost, so the only thing I can think of is her either taking the money and ticket Ghost gave her and escaping on her own or she fights back and teams up with Angela to take Tommy and Ghost down. The only thing is I don't think the latter would work too well since she's no longer in Tommy's good graces.

Can't believe Greg hasn't confronted Angela yet. From his point of view, it looks like she works for Ghost and crew. At least, he knows Angela is lying to him.

Hey People,

My how the game has changed and I say for the better if you ask me. It's about time Angela knows the truth and has one over James. I was just patiently waiting for the moment when Holly would recognize her. The writer teased a bit with the whole "let me go in there to interrogate her," but the bathroom scene was a totally worth the wait. The only thing I had a problem with is why Angela didn't tell her boss that Holly wasn't a wanted woman anymore. She had no reason not to tell. I mean, it was great that she used the info as a way to get Holly on her side in the end, but I just don't get why Angela didn't tell her boss right after she found out herself. But I don't really care because of the outcome.

So what does this mean now? Will Angela comfort James about it once Holly gives her proof? I doubt it. I think there was some foreshadowing here when Angela told her boss that Holly would do anything for the man she loves and I think Angela would do the same for James. She will probably comes to grip with the fact that she still loves James and will protect him in the end. My guess is by the end of the season, both of them will know the other one knows. It might even happen sooner.

James is still kicked out of the house. His son went to go see him and lied to his mother about it. When the boy came back home, Tasha asked why did he go see his father. Does the boy need a reason to see his father? He's his father that should be a good enough reason right there. Tasha is being really unreasonable. She even kicked out Tommy, who didn't want to get in the middle of his 2 best friends and the one who told James to quit cheating on her in the first place. Tasha needs to get a hold of herself.

Speaking of Tommy, he actually used his brain for once and tricked the Russians into using their supply line. The student is finally learning.

So what didn't we cover? Oh Greg, boy knows now that something is going on with James and Angela and I'm pretty sure in tonight's episode she'll spin it to make it seem like she's working him.

Luv ya,
            Diva

P.S. I loved how Angela broke down in the bathroom after finding out James is Ghost and then coming out of the bathroom like nothing had changed. Now that's a strong woman!

Hey People,

Okay so it's been awhile since I wrote a post and it's been 2 weeks since we had one from Power and that's because Power wasn't new last week, but it will be tonight. Sadly, I didn't get to see tonight's episode; however, we can do what we always do and recap the last episode.

S2 E4
Jamie got kicked out of the house because Tasha found out he was still seeing Angela. This man has a lot to be worried about. His marriage is in the crapper, he still doesn't have his club back, he can't move the drug money fast enough, and he just figured out Kanan was behind the hit on him. At least he's close to buying back his club, but I bet tonight something will damper his prospect.

Angela is back on the team at work and now the team knows about Jamie. We'll probably see them talk to Jamie tonight like they did with Holly last time. Holly is all kinds of trouble and woman can talk. Jamie tried to pay her off to go away, but she didn't go away fast enough. I doubt she would have broken up with Tommy anyway. Now that the FEDs are on her, she ain't going nowhere.

Tasha finally admitted her feelings for Shawn and although I'm not a huge fan of those 2, at least it's finally out there and the Tasha mind tricks can end. I hate how Shawn used LaKeisha though that wasn't cool, but Keisha isn't stupid so she knew Shawn still had feelings for Tasha, so I'm not too mad at him. I'm just glad there wasn't a fight between Keisha and Tasha over him and they remained friends even after LaKeisha admitted sleeping with Shawn. I hope ShaKeisha isn't over just yet. I have faith.

Not much happened with Tommy other than him buying a puppy for Holly and the show showing us he's really controlling and jealous in a relationship. Also, he's way too trusting of Kanan. Jamie gave Kanan some corners to work and Kanan is going to use this opportunity to get control of his empire again. Do remember what he did to that guy just because he didn't like him? Brutal!

Luv ya,

Hey People,

Before last week, I wasn't feeling the 2nd season so much, but after watching last week's episode and tonight's episode, I have full confidence in saying that this season will be just as good as last season.

Jamie and Angela make it to Miami and as you know, I didn't know if Jamie was being genuine anymore with his feelings. However, when Jamie became jealous of Greg, Angela's ex, that made me know for sure that he still has feelings for Angela.

While Angela and Jamie were acting like a couple, Jamie was also scoping for the girl with the pink sneakers. He was also down in Miami to do some work for the club. Damn can this man multi-task. Anyway, Jamie gets his club business done and vows that he'll get his club business back. His legit business went well with a little help from Angela, but his illegit business went down the drain. Kanan sent out a hit on the girl. Jamie asked her who hired her to kill him, but all she kept saying was you dumb motherfucker. Girl, you're dying at least answer the damn question. It took her more breaths to say those words than to just say the word Kanan. Ugh! At least she told him that Rolla wasn't behind it. Now Jamie knows the threat is still gunning for him.

Angela brought her work to vacation too. In the end, she reveals to Jamie what's the title of her job and how she's working a case and is going after Tommy. Angela confessing this just puts herself at risk. I'm worried that Jamie might go tell Tommy everything.

As for what's happening in New York, Shawn grew a pair and started denying Tasha. I was loving it. I didn't know Tasha would be so jealous, but I didn't care because I thought LaKeisha and Shawn would be cute together. I just always hated how Tasha was a schizo to him. One minute trying to lure him and the next acting like nothing was ever between him. Yes people, I'm for LaKeisha and Shawn and I shall dub them ShaKeisha.

For tonight's episode, let's just say there's a huge reveal about why Kanan is going after Jamie. And here I thought he just wanted his boss title back. If you want a little more I will say this: You'll find out if Jamie will keep his mouth shut to Tommy and if there's any life to ShaKeisha.

Luv ya,
            Diva

P.S. Kanan is crazier than Tommy, you'll agree after watching tonight.
P.P.S. I love how last week's episode ended with Jamie and Angela being driven in the same direction in two different cars side-by-side. Speaks volumes if you ask me.

Hey People,

Long time no see.

I am not liking what is happening with my favorite couple. Jamie isn't trusting Angela and Angela is checking up on Jamie's background.

Jamie lost his club to Stern and can I say, I am really surprised that Jamie didn't own the place and was actually renting. The money he was making, he should have had enough to buy the landlord. It's odd because Jamie is such a planner and this is something he should have thought about before. Anyway, Stern is now Jamie's landlord and he made deal with Jamie that if he reaches 20% in profit Stern will give him a number for Jamie to buy him out. However, Stern put Josh in charge so he wouldn't ever reach that number and in return Josh keeps Truth. Stern just wants to learn Jamie's tricks to the business. What a douche.

Angela flipped Ruiz's daughter, which is illegal since she's underage, and got her to finish the sketch. Tommy came up as a possible match and Angela figured out ex-boyfriend's password so she could listen for Tommy's voice. Ding-ding-ding, we have a match.

Kanon revealed himself to Jamie and people. I thought Jamie knew Kanon ordered the hit on him, but I guess I was wrong. Jamie is just suspicious that Rolla didn't do it and Kanon is trying to cover his tracks.

Jamie and Tommy are having drug problems. They can't move the stuff fast enough and gangs don't want to play nice with each other. Tommy also has to deal with Holly and her annoying ass. Ugh, why couldn't she just die?

But of all this doesn't matter because Jamie and Angela are going to Miami together and I have to say that the next episode is the best of the season so far. Jamie and Angela's relationship has always been the driving force of the show and I'm glad that tonight's episode is dedicated to them. Miami was definitely needed, but I will say Jamie has a huge decision to make by the end.

Luv ya,
           Diva

P.S. A new relationship is brewing and I'm liking it.

The tide has changed. James now knows Angela's day job and it seems like he'll play along for now even though there's nothing to play since Angela isn't using him. Something tells me that he'll still love her anyway. Angela is trying to use the pervert's girlfriend to get info on who Ghost is since she's no longer on the case anymore ever since the pervert died. If she finds something big, she may be able to get back in the case.

Tommy was hiding at his mother's house, but since he found out about Holly being shot, he's been at her side. I was really hoping she died in the finale. I have bad luck. As for Tasha she's still scheming for money behind Ghost's back.

With tonight's episode, let's just say James isn't the only one that finds out something new. However, I am not liking how this is unfolding. I don't like James knowing about Angela. I can't tell if he's being genuine anymore.

Luv ya,

Power Review

Hey People,

I put my games aside and started down my endless TV show binge again. Power was returned yesterday and since I have a lot of love for Starz and I no longer have Outlander on Saturdays since it's on hiatus (I heard until 2016, please no!) I thought why not give it a try. If I don't like it, I move onto the next like I usually do. I have to be honest with you and say I came in skeptical because 50 Cent is an executive producer, but I always give things a try just so I'm not that person on the internet who bashes things without giving it a go at least once. I played the 1st episode yesterday and the next thing you know it was night and I was playing the 8th. I seriously wished there were more episodes. What is with Starz only producing 8 at a time? I had it bad. Luckily for me, I don't have to wait since the 2nd season just started, but let me explain why this show is awesome and you shouldn't judge it before you watch it.

Summary: It's the opposite of Breaking Bad. While Walter White was trying to get into the business, James St. Patrick is trying to get out of it and go legit with a club he started, but his wife and best friend are making that very difficult to achieve. Meanwhile, he runs into his high school sweetheart, who's a lawyer, and starts thinking maybe he really can start a new life with her by his side. Too bad the lawyer works with the FEDs on taking down drug dealers and neither of them know just how close their work are to each other.
