All good things must come to an end…

Jeff and Krissy close the chapter on Power (Book 1) after 5 years of podding. We give our take on the finale, the season, and our thoughts on the legacy of this show. We deconstruct everything from the characters, writers, and everything in between. We try to answer your burning questions: Did they need 5 episodes to end the story? Are we watching the spin-offs? What does a post Power After Hours world look like? The fans showed our too with your tweets and emails. This is #TheFinalArgument on this show as we discuss the past and look towards the future. We also give our album credit shoutouts to everyone involved in this podcasts and the hosts who helped make Power and this podcast awesome. Let’s toast to the end of an era. It’s a celebration!

Before this episode, we take a moment to remember Kobe and Gigi Bryant, along with the 7 other individuals lost in that tragic helicopter crash on Sunday. It took us a couple of days, as it did much of the world, to compose ourselves and prepare to drop this podcast.

Jeff and Krissy recap the most highly anticipated episode: The TOMMY episode! We follow Tommy’s life from the moment he kills Benny to dodging the mob, avenging Keisha’s death and more. Did we get more answers or questions? And how does the events of episode 613 affect the rest of the series and potential spin-offs? We answer these questions and yours on this episode of Power: After Hours!

Jeff and Krissy Link up to talk all things Paz… even though they aren’t hyped about it. No shade to Elizabeth Rodriguez, who killed the role, but they did her no favors by keeping her in the background for most of the season…so the resulting backlash from fans makes sense.

They discuss how the story moves forward, transition episodes during a finale season, Angela’s gun as the murder weapon, Power Book II to air 8 episodes (??), and what we expect for the last few episodes. #PowerTV

Jeff and Krissy are back for the final 5 episodes of Power! First, they get into the pitfalls of cybersecurity and why two-factor authentication should be a mantra for all social media users. Then they get into the show. The Power writers have crafted an excellent episode that evolves Dre into his final snitch form. We get the background and motivation for the current Dre we know and loathe. The construction of the episode as the events of Episodes 10 from the perspective of Dre filled many of the gaps and answered most questions. As we close one chapter, we still have 6 more suspects in the shooting of Ghost. Listen up to hear who we think actually shot Ghost!

In the penultimate episode before the mid-season finale… EVERYONE SNITCHIN! We get into the destruction of all trust and bonds of family between Tommy, Ghost, Tasha and Tariq along with some more notables deaths and where we go from here. Tariq vs Ghost and Fatherhood, Tate’s failed campaign, dropped storylines, and everything in between. Plus YOUR commentary too!

What a way to end an episode!

In the latest edition of #PowerAfterHours, we discuss the shocking death this episode (and how one of my favorite power memes came true), Saxe’s white privilege Starman finally running out, Tate’s campaign looking funny, The two-week gap between Power episodes and what the midseason finale #reallymeans, Tasha teaching narcotics 1o1 to Tariq, and how this all is leading to a bloody conclusion.

Listener social commentary was on FIRE this week too, as you asked us about everything. Like, literally everything!

Tariq finally gets put in his place by multiple folks and the Internet rejoices! This week, we discuss the multiple ways the parent figures in Tariq’s bad ass life give him a dose of reality. Living in a fantasy world (Ghost), vs. Reality (Tasha, Tommy, Everyone else but Ghost), Saxe’s white privilege power finally running out on him, Tate writing checks his d*ck has to cash, and Tasha’s motherly decision that inspires debate among everyone. Plus your thoughts too!

If you had 24 hours to scam just think…

This is the question Ghost and Tommy ponder as they try to raise $2 Milly in 24 hours to free Tariq. Inside Man confirms that this is Tariq’s scheme, and everything as expected, goes to hell. Tariq is slowly rising in the “greatest hated characters ever” list, Tate gets some good character development via his ever expanding origin story, Cousin Benny is the MVP, and we ask “what’s next” after the Tommy-Ghost unholy alliance.
