Power After Hours

Jeff and Krissy are back to review the penultimate episode of Power! We get the Tate-Centric episode, which meant to show the motives he had to kill Ghost, but this turned into a referendum on the commonly agreed upon uselessness of the Paz episode, clumsy sequencing of the episodes, and whether fans actually care about who shot Ghost anymore. We did get a reminder that Larenz Tate be AC-TING though.

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!

We have reached the "mid-season" finale... and needless to say we are FED UP! While this episode has its moments, there's too many plot holes and inconsistencies to ignore. We explore every suspects motive in the #WhoShotGhost mystery, while deconstructing how some of these choices make NO sense, while others are justified. Not to mention...a contrived copycat cliffhanger! The fans were VOCAL in their disapproval, and it showed in some commentary from you in POWER TALK. Our deeper conversation covers the writing process, Power Confidential, and a quick salute to Omari Hardwick and the series overall. Consider it a preview of the final episode podcast. We got two months until the next show, so here's a super sized pod to hold you over. Enjoy!
