Ding dong the witch is dead. Real graphic shit but she had to go. Lobos' voice and the way he talks is extremely irritating.

SPOILER!!!


Bobby P,

The writers faked us out the way the scene was done.First he lets go of her neck....then he goes back in.

One thing for sure....and I watched the scene 5 times....the actress smacked the F out of Tommy!!!

I call the militia guys who work for Ghost, Taken...because they remind me of Liam Neeson's character in the film.

With Lobos threatening the agent's daughter, 50 cent threatening Dre's daughter, and the Taken guy maybe implying a threat on Ghost's son.....I want them all to GO!!!!

his character doesn't even walk with a limp...even though Ghost stabbed him in leg during the fight.
Kanan heals faster than Wolverine .

not trying to be sexist but doesnt a female write or direct the show? its kind of getting a little off the rails...fbi doesnt monitor calls in the building? I really liked the show in the past because it had some similar feel to the wire but its going in some craxy shifts...

Merlino,

What did you think of the scene where the mole is texting to Lobos' henchman just like Matt Damon was doing to Nicholson in the Departed?

paying homage or ripping them off?


Viewer reaction has been split down the middle over this episode. To me..the militia dude scene makes me forgive any problems I had with last episode.

Clean Bandit,

Out of all the killings and murders....I hear the worst one is how the show is MURDERING the Serbian language!!! On forums that discuss the show, people who are from that region of the world are disgusted.

Merlino,

good call. One minute he sounds like he was born and raised in California, next minute he sounds like he just arrived in country a year ago. Still not as bad as Jamie Hector aka Marlo, a Haitian American actor playing a Haitian drug dealer with the WORST accent ever heard on tv.

I liked the last episode too, I F*ck with Tommy now..heavy. The streets and the crew respected him before but after mouthing off to Milan...I think EVERYBODY is afraid of Tommy. Even though people know Ghost to be a thinker, I think he lost face getting punked in front of his crew by Milan.

Totally agree and marlos accent was horrible...and i know it is 50 cent's show but he is not the best actor....and i guess this is hypocritical because i feel he should be dead but he is pulling off the absolute biggest psychopath on tv

To tell you the truth, I didn't even realize these guys were supposed to be Serbians. I barely heard anything because I watched the latest episode in the middle of the night and I didn't want to wake everybody up. You're talking about Ghosts bodyguard, right? The one who shot up the Jamaicans? He's supposed to be Serbian?

CB,
Yes, the head Militia guy and his team are Serbians.
According to fans of the show, they are speaking the WORST Serbo-Croat ever.

Think you should get current with the episodes before you read this full thread again. Some spoilers are revealed.

This is a bizarro season. Think they tried to appeal to female viewers too much.

I think the show was slated to run for a certain amount of episodes, but they got extra seasons because of high ratings.

So now,they are just trying to extend everything out to fill episodes...it's all filler.

More far fetched than teen who lives in NYC getting into stranger's car was Tariq drinking from a straw after that stranger. even more far fetched is a Black kid cursing his parents out and not getting FIRE slapped out of him. smile

This shows going down the same road sons of anarchy went down when they went to ireland. It would have been more interesting if kanan killed ghosts son. Too much going on though in this show.

totally agree that would have been the best way the show could have gone instead of this boring (femalish) path it seems to be going, I liked the gangster aspect of the show, now it is just done

Yeah, some parents go overboard and are in fact bullies, but the cursing out of parents is NO BUENO in most Black households. You don't get a "time out"....more than likely your parents get "time served" if anybody finds out how they responded. smile

Good line about the fresh beard . When we first see Kanan this season.....after what we imagine is at least a few weeks after the fight with Ghost...he has burns but a fresh haircut and lined up beard and l weight loss. They show Ghost still with bruises on his face from the fight, but apparently Kanan's hair doesn't grow.


This season had some great moments, and I guess they think that makes up for the bull they are feeding us.

no episode this week, btw.....think they don't want to go up against opening week of NFL night game

I dont dislike kanans character, theres a very prison predatory vibe to him which 50 cent plays perfectly but just the whole storyline around him has gone on too long. They shouldnt have tried killing him off in the last season.

Also i dont really give a shit about that club anymore.

agree with that....last episode was better but there is sooo much going on and now they have to wrap that up in one more episode, i hope that they did not kill ruiz i liked him, they should kill the punk kid that works at the club and should have killed ghosts son a few weeks ago....there is a lot going on to get out this week, im guessing they leave on a cliff hanger, this season in my opinion sucked and got off the rails from what it was, get back to the wire street stuff but get more realistic liek i have said with tommy being a kingpin but having ZERO protection

I'm so upset by the way this season has played out.Major letdown after season 2.Finale has to be 2 hours to be able to tie everything together.

100% right, but like you said in another post it seems like its aiming for more female audience so maybe a cliffhanger, bringing canan back was stupid and where is the crooked cop? anyways it needs to go back to being more real and not this craxy season

Ghosts kid is fucking annoying. Overall I'm not too impressed with the latest few episodes. Next one is supposed to be finale, right? I don't get it how they plan on finishing this season with all of the shit that's going on. Especially with Tommy's last sentence.

Merlino,

I saw 3 advertised finale viewing parties for the show, one with the actor who plays Dre in attendance. Show has definitely expanded its original audience....not for the better, if you ask me.


CB,

Fact that you didn't mention the language shows me that those griping about the poor Serbo-Croatian spoken by Milan and crew were overblown. Or you have greater problems with the show than the quality of the Serbian language being spoken. I hope the finale redeems this below average season, but I'm not holding my breath.

I want to see the Milan guy play a Bond villain in the future, he's one scary guy.
