Powerful Thoughts 3.9

I’d like to open this recap with the following statement meant to convey my maturity and lack of hubris: I TOLD YALL MUTHAFUCKASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  THE RETURN OF GHOST AND T.  Ahem….. Penultimate episode here, which I felt was anything but ultimate, but hey…….im here to report and judge the show, not write it.  I will say Court and Co have done an amazing job of making me love Tommy and hate Ghost…which at the start of the show was inconceivable to me.  Now its hard to remember when I used to cheer for Ghost and want to see him to be great. He used to call you on your cellphone Hugo’s cellphone is in Angela’s clutches and she is making little headway figuring out what to do with it. As fate would have it, Sandoval calls it while she is holding it in her hand and she answers it.  No one speaks on the other end, but she hears the chopper that’s flying overhead their building, on her end and the callers end. Sandoval does as well and disconnects the call. After meeting up with Jamie, outside in public while wearing their invisibility cloaks and learning Gregex was at Tommy’s house questioning Kate, she goes to her pasty butt boyfriend and tries to put her butter pecan rican on him.  Known to us, but unbeknownst to her, Greg will take the ass, but he’s still on her trail.  While she is sleeping, he goes into her briefcase, finds the cell and takes a pic of the sim card so he can have his buddy Agent Medina run it later.  That boy is quicka than that thang yall! Have you ever tried to go thru ya people’s phone while they in the next room.  Hands all shakey, mouth all dry, fumbling….OH THATS ONLY ME HUH?  Yeah, Okay.  Anyway, he meets with Medina and gets some info that leads him to a store near Hugo’s crib. He arrives there just in time to see Sandoval leaving Hugo’s crib, where he removed a pic of him and his wife and hopefully his only connection to Hugo. Greg is all GOLLY GEE and trying to figure out why Sandoval would be there. No Love in the Club In the season’s most meandering pointless subplot, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz  kantos returns demanding sterns invite list zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ghost got a plan zzzzzzzzzzzz julio stashing drugs in the cocky white boy club zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ghost busts up cocky white boys/karen meeting zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz cops arrive zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz cocky white boys arrested zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz big party back on at Truth zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Reunited and it feels so dumb It’s career day at the St. Patrick kids school and James St. Patrick is up there in all his tailored suit glory talking bout the challenges of being a club owner and the adverse affect it can have on your loved ones.  Tariq dont give a fuck; texting his boy Slim Fug to hook up later while his dad is up there talking…but his Mama gives fucks….many confused, contorted, ugly face fucks.  After hitting the club kids where it hurts and stealing his club business back, Ghost returns home triumphant.  Tasha is liquored up on wine when he gets there and congratulates him on beating the competition and keeping them safe from Milan.  She’s so grateful in fact, she rewards him with the gift of her open legs and as many ugly faces as she can muster.  That shit was hard for me to watch, which is becoming the norm for me and Power sex scenes.  She must have literally gotten her brains fucked out, because no sooner than Ghost leaves, does she pick up the phone and tell Tommy that Ghost is working to eliminate Milan and must be stopped, even tho she just thanked him for working to eliminate Milan.  Fine.  Tasha…we forgave you fuckin round with Dumbface Shawn, ya man’s was dickin around with bimbos (shouts out to Colin Powell), but this is just STUPID. Don’t enter the Game of Dummies…the field is too crowded. Ebony and Ivory do NOT go together in perfect harmony This week finds me sad again at the deterioration of Ghost and Tommy’s relationship.  The show opens with them sitting across from each other, Ghost questioning Tommy like a jealous lover bout why he aint return his call.  Aint this a bitch?  Actually, aint this a man?  Demanding the truth while lying to someone’s face.  Tommy tells him that he went to Milan’s warehouse to get closer to him. He also lets Ghost know that Ruiz is becoming a problem, refusing to sell anything until he sits down face to face with Milan to get a better understanding about why the product has to change.  Ghosts assures him that Ruiz will fall in line, because – ALTOGETHER NOW – he has a plan. GOT dammit I’m sick of this man and his plans.  Ghost reminds Tommy its of the utmost importance that they stick together and keep each other in the know, even tho we know he refuses to tell anyone, anything, anyplace, anytime – ever.  Tommy later arranges the meeting with a wire wearing Ruiz and Milan, during which he receives a phone call from a “dick for brains” – literally-  assed Tasha, who lets him know that Ghost JUST told her that he was working on a plan to rid them of Milan permanently.  This pisses Tommy off to NO END.  Earlier in the ep, he defended their friendship to Milan.  He told Milan that Ghost was all on board with the team and that he’s just being cautious.  Milan tells Tommy, all that is fine, but if Ghost aint right, Tommy will meet his own untimely demise.  This leads to Tommy giving Ruiz a ride home from the meet to his final destination.  In the car, Tommy vents his frustration over Ghost’s latest betrayal, confessing that Lobos is dead, and eventually killing Ruiz – ALL ON THE TAPE RECORD.  He returns to Truth to tell Ghost that he

Powerful Thoughts 3.4

Hey y’all, Hey! Today we will be headed into heretofore unchartered territory here at Myalogy:  TV RECAPS.  I know….earthshattering. First up is the show that real tv connoisseurs were excited about prior to its premiere and the one the rest of y’all started watching at the end of season one after Taraji and Lightskin Lunatic got y’all amped then went on summer vacation, at which point you binge watched the season, then walked into every black gathering everywhere armed with the question: Y’ALL WATCH POWER?  Followed with the inevitable:  ITS WAY BETTER THAN EMPIRE!!!! As if…. Here we are 4 eps into the season and I have thoughts in no particular order. 1.  Why is Ghost so fucking dumb with this Andre thing? Ghost can be an incredible dude.  We’ve seen him get out of some tight jams up until this point.  He is so smart, sometimes I don’t even know what he is doing (anyone know why kantos was fired? make it go down in my dm then).  The way he outsmarted Stern and attempted to get rid of his network was brilliant.  Leaving someone that tried to kill you alive, wasnt the smartest thing, but hey…..my dating history speaks to the fact that bad choices happen to smart people….ahem.  But this Dre thing?  Why is he trying to wife a hoodrat?  He raised his last protege from a pup and Sean still turned on him.  What makes him think Dre, who worked for Kanan is gonna be any different?  Nword keeps telling you and showing you he bout dat life, which you keep trying to talk him out of.  Fuck dre…let him hang out in the bbq spot……who you need to be trying to cuff is……. 2.  HOLLY, THE BEAST. This is who Ghost should want on the team.  She is one of the few people on this show that unapologetically makes moves in her best interest.  I want those earrings, I’m taking them.  Mr. St. Patrick? HA, Fuck you!  You Ghost to me, fool.  She is seemingly the only person in her house that knows that Lobos intends to kill her and her manse, and she’s like “FUCK DAT.  He dont wanna kill his boy so we can live?  Like the dog aint already dead?  Cool.  “Bae, im running to the store for some milk and cookies, BRB”  Mama headed right on down to the Jamaicans, put the money on the table, took out a pic of Ghost and said “Finish HIM.”  I aint mad…… 3.  Y’all think y’all want a Michelle, but y’all really want a Candie. Hey Girlfrands! Any of yall riding for your manse the way Candie rides for Jukebox?  I know I ain’t.  She be frying shit in booty shorts risking grease burns. Drugging fools.  Fucking fools. Nursing fools. Healing the hands of fools.  And letting fools get her off without vomiting….all while having Asperger’s Syndrome.  (I know Im not the only one that thinks she is a highly functioning mentally handicapped person. I just know it. Something is very off about her. )  She will do all of that, while still staying firmly #teamjukebox And some of y’alls chicks were actively planning to leave y’all for Mr. Steal Your Grandma. 4. Jamesgela is so soul crushing now. Boring sex.  Them both saying “I had good intentions” regarding her going to see Tasha/Him paying her rent – the height of passive aggressiveness, which can be the death knell of a relationship.  Boring family dinners.  Monotone voices. “Remember when” conversations, which Tony Sopranro smartly said are the lowest form of coversation.  Her own admission that they weren’t gonna make it.  Him non-convincingly reassuring her that they would.  Ugh….please.  Him calling Tash HIS WIFE in an argument- HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  They are a prime example of the saying “cheating ain’t no fun, when you ain’t got nobody to cheat on.”  He will be back between Tash’s legs before this season is over.  Bet dat. 5.  I’m surprised I can see after all this horrid sex. COURTNEY KEMP.  Ms. Kemp.  Courtney.  Court – Im a Court too, so I feel I can call you that.  I dont ever wanna see 50’s dick again.  Not a shadow of it.  Not its imprint.  Not just the tip.  Not nothing.  Dont do that. Ever.  Dishonorable mention:  Holly and Tommy….the only time Tommy seems to know he is in danger is when he’s inside Holly.  That was some seriously depressing sex.  That coke fueled threesome Tommy had when Holly left him that time, MORE OF THAT. Musings….. HE just entered the room as Holly and Tommy are fucking and exclaims:  SHE IS SO FUCKIN UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  #baeissmart What made Angie go to that womans house? “You gonna be doing for Ghost the rest of your life.” – HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, snaps for the Kid! I hate Greg and I wanna punch his douchey ass face, but he’s right to wanna destroy them. OINTB lady! 50cent looks so handsome….with that mask covering his face RIP lil black boy…even Stevie Wonder saw that coming Shouts out to Jukebox saying the white boys did it! Jamie got a snapchizzle yall! #followhim Keisha, last season you creamed all over yourself when Tasha told the story bout how she hid a gun for Jamie when they first started dating..now you scared of guns?  Park it, Thotyanna. Ghost aint never got time to have the right conversation Crooked Priest, God only cares about one commandment, but you never said what it was.  How me and Tommy gonna get into heaven now? Ghost is a magical negro.  He can show up and take out two assassins with two shots, run back to the club, change into a suit, pop some Effen and never break a sweat.  Jesse did say black people were magic. Joakim Noah done took up actin yall!             SEE YA NEXT WEEK.
