"Why aren’t you watching Snowfall? "


          

It’s still great.

Kevin and Andre were main characters.
Apr 17th 2021

           speaking of that Franklin was standing in front of Chaka tags last week
Apr 11th 2023

Then why'd she tell him to let him go early on?
Apr 13th 2023
239
      when Teddy admitted he lied about Alton she knew he was lying about...

Little homie is the most believable non-LA nigga to play an LA nigga.

The show itself is hella basic tho. I knew where the whole season was going fifteen minutes into the pilot.

I asked my pops if he watched that shit. He was like, “Yeah, in 1983. I don’t need to see the reruns.”

-30-
You know it's drama, but it sound real good.

he does it good, but too good lol

it's kind of a second tier show but I enjoy it. The CIA stuff has been good this season. I think it has improved overall.

I have issues with some of the details though. The graffiti, and the cholos look like something out of a Mad TV sketch. There are literally thousands of people in LA who could have helped with this.

That surprises me, because as soon as Contra dude got wrote off I was done with the CIA side. White cop shit ruined Narcos for me, and it ruined Snowfall for me too.

How they handle gangs period is hella Dangerous Minds. Like what hood is any of them niggas even from? It's all very generic.

In response to Reply # 11


  

          

They went to the beach and his buddy said something like "I thought you were gonna get us jumped by some Shorelines". I mean, they're purposely avoiding using real neighborhoods, so I guess its safe since there are probably 3 shorlines left who consider themselves active and none of them actually live in venice.

I'm talking about the bum ass CIA dude, the Israeli supplier, the uncle who sells weed, the luchador who is a cartel grunt.

You saw how all the puzzle pieces fit together before the first commercial break. If you got a plot that predictable you gotta slow down and do your character work, but this show don't do all that. It just lays everything out real plain.

..could be better.

the cast is phenomenal.

the personal development of each character has been solid so far, but main storyline is lacking depth.

its early and, as you can see, i'm still tuned in.

I want more stories about black people that rely on the hood, slavery, or the civil rights era.

More stories about the crack epidemic does nothing to help mend the actual trauma of the real events.

I know I know...issa tv show.

What you said kinda reminds me of how Mexico always has these cartel and immigrant stories now.

Non-white cultures tend to get boxed into a handful of stories and it sucks because people within those cultures know that the other stories exist but are not being told.

It’s a great show. Can’t believe people are tired of the first story that actually touches on the true reason for the crack epidemic.

Great story telling that shows how filthy our government is

As for Snowfall tho, I feel like this is the only one that matters, because it speaks to the involvement of the American Government in the crack epidemic. Not just casually mentioning it, but detailing it as part of the show. I personally don't think any such show should be done without thoroughly addressing that.

That said, I ended up enjoying Power too lol. Snowfall is a cut above for the above-mentioned reason tho. The only "drug slangin' black folk" show or movie that I'd recommend to everyone.

I saw an ad for the new season the other day, thought it was a new show lol. Not sure how I hadn't heard of it previously, considering the rave reviews the show seems to get.

Anyway when I saw this post it reminded me of seeing the ad, so I looked it up and saw that the show explores the CIA/US gov't's ushering in of the crack epidemic in deep detail so I'm def more interested than I probably would be otherwise, for the reasons outlined herein (stereotypes of Black drug dealers being so prevalent, etc.). So I've added this to my list, will hopefully/probably check it out at some point.

In response to Reply # 0
Tue Sep-10-19 09:41 AM by double negative

  

          

my origin story began in south central LA circa 1984-1992, on one hand, watching the show takes me back to that time, on the other hand it has the same problem biopics have where they take something cool that you like and somehow make it uncool.

For me I have a hard time keeping up with the story arc because it seems to go from believable to out there and back to believable to a point where it feels like it wants to be gritty realism while also wanting to be some larger-than-life-story

that said...I've been having a start-stop-start pattern with the show over the past 2 years.

Ruthless Franklin is the best character on the show. Nice Guy Diplomat Franklin is THEE WORST.people.

Ain’t no way Manboy is that bad if a shot. I think they’re trying to squeeze Franklin.

Both crack and religion gave Melody the same crazy eyes.

Monk from the Wire been eating. I mean i guess we all have but i wasn't sure that was him.

Why was Rob from the valley part of the ambush/shoot out? He's never given any indication he's about that sort of thing. I mean, even for Jammin Jerome, you can see killing ain't really his thing. he was pretty shook.

I thought that whole bottoms shoot out sequence with ManBoy vs Stacy last season was part of Franklin's coma dream.

It's good to have this show back

Ha! I knew that was him. I just couldn't remember his character's name for whatever reason. He was just "the dumb asshole who shot Cutty." I did like that according to Lurp, Saint's muscle is going to be shooters from Oakland.

Yeah, that took me aback. Made even less sense than Saint being there, honestly. You'd think they'd have someone more official.

I'd remembered that part was real. I can't even remeber though, he they suggested that Man Boy and Stacy were beefing before that final episode?

>It's good to have this show back

Me too. Man, backing Man Boy over Skully was such the wrong play. Louie was 100% right. Man Boy's looking to take over, and eyeing Saint like he's weak. Skully's shermed-out ass is going to fuck with them all season. They should have taken out Man Boy and offered Leon his territory as a peace offering.

I assume things look bad for Leon now, but he'll rebound. He's probably going to team with Man Boy against Saint by mid-season.

Yeah Saint didn't have much business there either but I could see why he would want to be. One just as a 'hands on' leader, and also because it was too important a thing to fuck up, which you can see he couldn't prevent by being there anyway.

I believe they did suggest the beef, but the sequence seems dream like. I suppose its the version that plays out in Franklin's head once it was relayed to him by Jerome and others as some surreal shit.

Yeah, Louie was 100% right about Man Boy, I was in camp obvious that Skully gotta go, and I didn't even see it until she so easily articulated it. Louie and Alton are pretty much the only other reliable brains of the operation.

I don't think Leon will end up with Man Boy just because Leon can't stand him. i mean, maybe?

Bruh, I saw it and made me think of how many people I know in my hood growing up were fiends and end up getting sober through religion and had them same crazy ass eyes while preaching about the Lord's work.

>i wasn't sure that was him.
Monk been eating real good. Also once again here we go with Franklin not listening to people. You have a damn merc that worked LARP in 'Nam telling you how to handle ish and yet you gotta be hard headed.

>Why was Rob from the valley part of the ambush/shoot out? He's

Rob stood out as a strange thing but at this point you figured he's all the way in on this shit now and Franklin don't have an army so he had to bring whoever. Jerome has never been about that murder life, you could tell he was old school use ya fist kinda dude.

That whole Man Boy vs Skully thing is another dumb Franklin move, everyone including Leon told him not to fuck with Man Boy from the jump. Now with the gang war they still said don't fuck with Man Boy cause he's out to take over. What does Franklin do, chase the money and fuck it up.

>I thought that whole bottoms shoot out sequence with ManBoy vs
>Stacy last season was part of Franklin's coma dream.

Yea that was really, ManBoy never wanted to deal with Skully anyway and I don't remember them saying why it popped off but ManBoy been waiting to hit Skully.

>It's good to have this show back

It feels real good to have this show back. I do have questions about the LA Harold (R.I.P.) reporter and how she's going to bring shit down. Also Reed is fully hooked on that coke now, how long before he's totally left out alone and he has to deal with Cartel's etc....?

I'm guessing she's going to end up discovering that Franklin is backed by the CIA. And then it becomes a Gary Webb type thing (allbeit one that's about a decade early).

Which would mean they're trying to wrap the show up. Also, her line about growing up in the area, seemed off. As far as I remember growing up the area where Franklin and them are is/was primarily black. Just seemed off.

what has intrigued me about this show so far is that it actually talks about the government involvement in the 80's which hasn't been touched on in other shows that I'm aware of

Don't do that hoe shit.

I'm not watching the show because it is reselling the crack era as lurid gangster entertainment. It is a fictionalized retelling of a horrible time in american history.

And! There is nothing mad up abt that. Continue to cheerlead tho hoe cake. I'm glad you enjoying it

70. "I hate when shows are scared to kill main characters (spoiler below)"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And the death fake-outs are the fucking worst.
That was when I knew I was done with The Walking Dead. 6 episode death pump fake.
One of the many great things about The Wire and early Game of Thrones was that they didn't protect characters like that.
As soon as season 4 started, I thought, it's getting too hot around Franklin and crew. Somebody, Jerome, Louie, or Leon has to die. Then they do an annoying ass pump-fake. Louie might be my favorite character, but if you're gonna go through the trouble of shooting her (and after Franklin survived his shooting), she should have died.

And then we get the death of 3 antagonists in 1 episode? C'mon. It's too easy for these people.

Much easier to kill an antagonist...
Kevin was important but tertiary

In response to Reply # 73


  

          

Kev was just being a bitch

I don't really think Kevin was that central a character. They were teeing him up to be taken out the whole season.

The Louie thing bothered me, because we *just* went through the "she's in surgery" thing with Wanda. I love Louie and i thought it was ballsy as hell of the show to take her out, until they didn't.

took me a while to realize who Scully is played by. Like no it can't be him?!

dope that De'aundre Bonds is getting work after his bid. I've always been a fan.


The show teetered there in season 2 where I almost gave up on it. But I'm gald I stuck with it. I think the Melody episode was the turning point for me where this went from a good show to a great one.

It might be typical based on the characters he's played before, but his acting in this role is nomination worthy to me.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I don't think the writing was ever great, but this 4th season was all about high drama at the expense of good writing.
Entertaining, but eye-roll inducing.

80. "Lol @ the season 4 finale"
In response to Reply # 0


          

Episode full of setups for season 5. Like, nothing really happened aside from the shit with Alton and Teddy. Nigga on the radio threatening to tell the info but not actually telling it and then thinking they gonna let him live? Then the whole speech about "the white man" at the standoff felt more like white folks writing than anything real.

Ok, they found Lucia, but we don't see her. Jerome and Louie bouncing.

If Franklin keeps telling Leon what he is and ain't gon do, he's going to wake up one day and Leon will be in Italy somewhere, living his best life.

The big ending with Melody and the cane was rather corny to me.

The way his mama walked out the door after telling Alton she was going to the store was HILARIOUSLY goofy.

How do you kill off the main character in a show without ending the show?

Entertaining enough, I love that they’re putting in the CIA bringing coke in element, but judging it on the Breaking Bad/Wire scale.....it’s just not all the way there. It’s watchable though and occasionally great.

I mean, I can suspend belief on occasion - hell, Breaking Bad required it often.

but the writing and pacing were just on another level from this. Snowfall is good, but sometimes it’s sloppy.

In response to Reply # 85


  

          

i love FX but they have a certain quality and vibe to their shows that causes their dramas to be a little schlocky at times. they'll sacrifice a sensible journey just to get to a destination/scene they want to show

HBO I feel like they'd have to come w/ more attention to detail and nuance.

robbing Unc and killing his people in the process, then trying to undercut Unc with his own people selling the drugs he stole from Unc at a cheaper price, pointing a gun at Louie, all the while forgetting that she initially set him up talking about all he did for them, they built that shit together off so dope he got off some chance shit through the white boy that he killed.

Then he's trying go after Teddy at the same time.

i kinda had an issue with end of that first ep because it seemed too far and too out of character for Jerome. not that he's a saint but idk ...maybe the show's not fresh in my head enough to confirm that.

but the end of ep2 i felt pretty much #teamJerome.

It was out of character, but Jermoe has gotten less and less of a reluctant gangster since season 3. I think the thing that made it go wild was Louie telling him about Franklin pulling a gun. Louie has always had a hold on Jerome, and it's just that much tighter between her getting shot and the wedding.

Now I side with Jerome that Franklin didn't need to pull a gun out, but Louie was wrong and should've made a deal with Franklin. She could've fronted him some keys until he could get back up. cFranklin was also right about him waiting to sell the next dime while Louie was getting wet. But his greed did create the people they are now and so now they're all in this situation.

But at the end I'm #teamOso, just hope he makes it out at the end.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

then, like all pre-pandemic shows for me, once the pandemic hit i just got interested in TV a lot less, and stopped watching.

like, i'm seasons behind on a lot of shows i really liked, including Snowfall.

and most "prestige" TV that's come since i just never felt like i was missing anything.

i randomly fell asleep on the couch last night and woke up to the Snowfall S6 premiere being mid episode and watched it for about 10 mins and it seemed good even tho i didn't know all the details of what was going on, lol. i'd heard the last couple seasons were kinda mid, so maybe seeing 10 mins of this season premiere and being able to recognize the quality bodes well for the final season.

Tried to start streaming it last year, but couldn't get into it at first.

Gave it another try this past week, and I've been hooked. Really good show. Really love how they aren't letting the government off the hook.

Season 4 shows some cracks though. I'm afraid that the show is gonna fall into the same rut the House of Cards did with the protagonists somehow always being smarter and faster and winning against everyone else even though they are in a world full of people just as fast, smart and ruthless.

but sometimes I wonder if they actually get it wrong or if it belongs to you and no one could ever tell it right unless you tell it yourself?

“its yours” so there is no right way to tell it but its TV, not a documentary so I wonder if folks like you watch it looking for any reason to call bullshit.

Like a person going to a comedy performance, not to laugh or be entertained but to look for the gaffes.

I think this when people try to bash movies or series because “they lived there or lived through it”

They will never get it as right as our real life experiences.

Do they get close enough for the average viewer to believe it?

My question for those who do it for the Snowfalls and Wire type shows. Is there even a way to make it “right or accurate?”

I know people that were around the BMF story who get upset about the inaccuracies even though at the beginning of every show it posts a disclaimer something to the effect that "the story is loosely based on the truth, some things have been fictionalized for dramatic purposes, but a lot of this shit may have actually happened" lol

111. "I watched the BMF documentary "
In response to Reply # 110


          

Notice how anytime they ask for certain specific details people get real quiet.. lol

of course it won’t be accurate. Dudes aint out here telling the whole story trying to get caught up in old shit.

reporter: were you there when he was shot”
dude: “I’m not going to speak on that!”
dude 2: “nope”
dude 3: silence.. “no comment on that question”

I could tell that the life he's built don't mean shit to him. I genuinely think he would've preferred for Franklin to shoot him. RIP Jammin' Jerome

In response to Reply # 114


  

          

It was a good episode; the wedding was beautiful, and seeing Leon in Ghana just at peace was great. Now he's returning to a shit storm and still trying to do the right thing and bring them all back together. It's only going to get him killed.

Oso's a goner; Teddy isn't about to let him go, and now that he knows the KGB is watching and the DEA, he has to tie up all loose ends before he can even get a sniff at coming back in from the cold.

Big Deon has to go, but I'm afraid that will lead to Leon's downfall. I wish Lee would listen to Franklin and Wanda an walk away.

And GTFO of dodge, like next train smoking type shit

I don't know how he'd figure out taking all his money with him, but there's nothing there for them anymore. Wanda's family hasn't forgiven her and Leon just doesn't fit in. I hope he recognizes his (lack of) power to change this system he so badly wants to change

It's rare enough someone like him could ride off into the sunset, but you only get one of those.

Without Leon, Wanda's gonna go full Pookie.

I felt for her in that grandma scene but looking at it from the other side, I get it

Her and her man were making tons of money without all the stress/pressure of being the top boss. If I’m in her position I don’t even want to be the boss. She messed everything up.

127. "If Leon doesn't die by the end of this Wanda or Einstein will"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Leon went straight Craig and Deboo with that fight with Big Deon. Deon is still living, and there's no way he will come back and retaliate. I think Einstein or Wand will be a casualty, and that's what gets him out of all of this.

Now I don't like Big Deon, but gawd damn, did that nigga have some ether-level jokes about Wanda. And one of them cats said she was dry; just the total disrespect there.

Teddy will end OSO, especially now that he is working with the DEA and the KGB.

Gay El Capo was a new twist to the story, which makes things more interesting.


Frankling is a fucking beast. This cat caught three bodies and the way he did Todd, lmao. "Said you wanted to cook, didn't you? Huh?, Cook, then NIGGA!!" that was another classic Franklin Saint line. Poor scarface nigga got clowned, tried to change sides, botched the hit, and got killed. All in one episode, classic.


Actually, this episode had a lot of good lines. Kane's like about Franklin being a hoe and hoe's make money was excellent. I'm thinking Kane gotta respect Franklin more after that shootout and how he handled shit.


Franklin's baby mom and her mom gonna grift this nigga out of his money. She ain't gonna stay with this dude; she made that decision in S1. She's only helping so she can secure the bag and disappear away from all this shit with her baby. She told Franklin she didn't want any part of that life anymore and he pulled her in deeper against her will; now she's gotta do what's right for her and that baby.

only 3 eps in and so far I'm digging it

At times it feels like I'm watching a GTA tv show, maybe it's just cause the main character's name and they keep sending him on missions.

There's 6 seasons of this !?!

once I caught up to the current season and can't binge anymore I'm kinda losing steam on it.. you know how these things begin to become like soap operas and less like hard hitting gritty dramas after x number of seasons. still I'm checkin in tomorrow so what do I know.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Franklin's cold as shit. He wasn't playing with Teddy. Deaded his dad in front of his baby momma and her momma. They got no choice but to skip town with that money if they get it. Frankie is unhinged.

It was good seeing Teddy shook. He's always calm and calculated, but Franklin's move on his pops lowered that veil. Now he's feeling it, didn't get shit with the KGB dude, but he has some pron. Pop's got deaded and now he has to worry if Franklin has enough info to track down his kid and ex-wife.


I need Leon and Wanda to leave; this will only end tragically for them both. They are still making cracks on Leon marrying Wanda, and she is fragile; that rock is about to call her like Pookie.

Rome is done, and I think Louie or that cop might kill him. He did not like how Louie was hyped that they almost got Franklin; the game wasn't in him anymore. Not that it ever was, but he's paranoid now about going to his boy's shop and pulling the uzi. That and seeing how the dude was out of the game and happy with an auto shop. It's all Jerome wanted, Jammin' Jermoe's stereo store and a happy family. He'll never have it.

Lastly, fuck Big Deon. This dude is disrespectful everywhere he goes. Somebody has dirt nap his ass.

isn't Teddy's ex CIA? I don't think she would be as easy to get. And what's stopping Teddy from going after Franklin's mom who is clearly operating out in the open?


>I need Leon and Wanda to leave; this will only end tragically

right so now Leon is going to take over the crack game in the projects and make it better? Is that what he came back to do?

yeah I feel bad for Unc, he's being pulled in multiple directions, this is why he didn't want to mess with coke in the first place but Franklin and Louie drew him in now they want to kill each other.

>Lastly, fuck Big Deon. This dude is disrespectful everywhere
>he goes. Somebody has dirt nap his ass.

yep, the dirty ex cop too, I'm tired of him

Teddy was like “my dad? fuck him…. wait, wait, wait…. let’s be calm about this”

burnt his house down so he can’t even have an open casket.

I’m ready for Louie to go.. she toxic as fuck.

Louie isn't shit, but they gave us that when the show started. Franklin didn't lie about her when he and Rome were at the dinner. Now look, she is power-hungry and ruthless. She's not seeing that Jerome is still his uncle; regardless, it's still blood.

I think Kane caught Buckely based on that preview from last week. I don't think Jerome is gone yet; he'll probably be the second to last domino to fall at the end.

In response to Reply # 137


  

          

Franklin just put her in grave danger. Along with his girl and unborn kid.

he already tipped Teddy off about his wife and kid, so what's his leverage after that?

dude's ego is out of control. This show is now in SOA territory in terms of its over-the-topness, mostly with Franklin being this prolific killer and sharpshooter. but yeah, it's still fun.

Right he’s definitely advanced from season 1 when he couldn’t bring himself to shoot that guy that took his money

145. "not sure how but I totally forgot he killed Franklins pops"
In response to Reply # 139


          

I knew it happened.

I watched those episodes

but I think the fractured relationship made me think more of his mom’s exhusband than Franklins pops.

While it was gangster af, I thought Franklin overstepped and the show went a bit too far but now that you mention the obvious. Franklin had to do it. He killed his pops AND STOLE 73 MILL.

Teddy killed his daddy. Not Franklin.

In response to Reply # 0


          

It was cold blooded ... but on the other hand, it didn't seem that Teddy was taking him serious before. Seriously, what did you expect someone to do when you take 73 mil from them?

I wouldn't blame V for leaving, if for no other reason, because he's reached a point of no return after she gave him a suggested way out of this. I don't see a scenario where he just happens to get the money back and things go back to normal

Vulture wrote a great article about the episode, showing the feminist Louie's character as a representation of feminism in a male-dominated field and society. Even touched on the branding by Kane and the gang rape displaying the evil that men do to women.

But at the same time, fuck Louie and that shit. A a certain point you gotta be smart enough to bounce. shit was getting out of hand and Unc was right. Don't blame Franklin (which we know she is), this one is on you.

she went from being a “fun girl” at Claudia’s to running the cookhouse for Franklin to basically being his 2nd in command when he was locked up, then running her own shit, it was hard to walk away from that

It never made sense to me that when one guy has a gun and a bullet sponge hostage in front of them, why do so many of them act like they don’t have the advantage. Kane could have smoked Rome without all the adlibs.

Happens all the time in the movies and tv but still maddening every time I see it.

Btw- Louie a damn fool and should have peaced out. The maddening thing is she knows she fucked up going over Frank’s head and all the subsequent moves and chooses to be on some ego shit now

In response to Reply # 164


  

          

When Kane was holding Louie and standing a good 18 inches to her right, monologing, Jerome should have shot his ass. Like, at that distance, by the time you hear the shot, you've already been hit. I mean with all the shooting these dudes do, you figure that standing 10 feet away, you can hit the target no problem.

I also, hate that stand-off shit.

But tv gon tv. Movies gon movie.

it was a dumb way for Kane AND Jerome to die, tbh. And to let Louie live, makes NO sense for Kane to do that when he was about to let niggas run the pain train endlessly.

Naw she ran away after Oso bodied her uncle and shit fell apart the first time the DEA came. They mentioned her in season 3 and her mom, and of drugs, runner said she went too deep into Mexico and wasn't coming back.

The actress has/had substance abuse issues so they never brought her back. It's crazy cause she played a recovering addict on Breaking Bad.

In response to Reply # 0


          

Maybe I missed something or maybe it hasn't been revealed, but theoretically he'd be able to set Teddy up with Oso without needing Louie. I understand that there's a possibility he wanted to increase his chances of getting to him and is fine with otherwise burning that bridge with Louie for good

Either way, it seems like Teddy has everyone coming for him now, even his own people. It's wild to me that, through all of this, he hasn't even considered just giving Franklin back the money, and won't even touch it

The women were the voice of reason this episode, specifically Wanda and Teddy's ex. Feels like that Wanda/Leon convo is foreshadowing, unfortunately

He's covering all bases trying to get to Teddy. Probably figured him and Louie were done anyway so might as well be the devil and make that deal.

Teddy's too far up his own ass to see that the CIA will just cut him loose and Franklin is getting way to close. He still thinks he can play this out and get brought back into the arms of the agency. But I think his ex will sell him upriver even more.

>The women were the voice of reason in this episode, specifically
>Wanda and Teddy's ex. Feels like that Wanda/Leon convo is
>foreshadowing, unfortunately

I think Wanda is going to either leave Leon or end up being the last one standing. She'll grow old and be one of those chicks that used to be about that life and had a man that was in the game but he died or got locked up.

That look that Leon got from dude at the funeral was telling, I'm wondering if Leon is going to get got by one of the young boys in the PJ that think they can run things.

Teddy's wife was trying to talk sense into him and lay it all out but he wasn't listening. His new Iranian chick was disrespectful to her but she should know that Teddy is toxic and that the ex was right in her assessment of his situation. Just give the money back Teddy.

If she offered to give up Teddy if he got her outta there, and he did indeed get her outta there (clearly did not plan to get Jerome killed in the process), I'm not understanding how THAT makes him some kind of devil to cash in on that. That's rhetorical, but might be missing something

even though she may be right in this instance. Teddy is running out of moves.

he plays the role, prolly because it's beneficial to him, but he could've let them do whatever to her. Also, if it was me. When Jerome died, I'da killed her right then and there, because I knew she was gonna be on some ole "It's all Franklin's fault" shit, and I was right, cuz she the type of person that can't be self accountable.

I believe Leon apologized directly to Khadijah for it, but that apology never made it to Skully. I don't remember them having a direct interaction since that incident

Why was the mom rolling around with her kids in the car with a bunch of gangsters in the middle of a gang war? And no one seemed to blame her for it. It was all Leon’s fault even though he didn’t know kids were in the car.

209. "It was a good ep and well directed. Oso is the MVP of this shit"
In response to Reply # 208


  

          

Even after getting jacked up by Tony Marino and the DEA, my man came through. He took out Ruben, still saved Franklin, and safely got his girl and the kids out safe. Not sure if he's going to make it, though.


That Leon and Skully moment had all the feels. I'm glad they could come to peace with everything between them.

Louie's ass is done; DEA will get her and throw them agents' deaths at her. She'll probably take everyone else out with her, but I'm happy she got to release that anger on Franklin, and I'm glad she could be out of the paint for good.

It looks like Teddy is all the way cut off from the agency but that doesn't mean he's going down. Hopefully, Franklin gets some good shots in before it all goes down. He would melt his ass in acid; Teddy's an evil fucker.

In response to Reply # 209


  

          

what was the reason for Teddy not just killing Franklin right away, since he was about to do it before Oso showed up?

the whole drop set up felt forced to me.

i was happy for Oso, but i had some problems suspending my disbelief in this ep.

call it kurt sutter ptsd i guess lol

Like, Franklin should have been dead three times over. Right when Teddy pulled up. Or right after he stomped him unconscious, or right when Teddy first got him in the warehouse.

What's the point of melting him in acid when he could just leave the body on the streets and people would figure he's just another D-boy who got caught in the game?

I'm entirely open to being wrong, but I associate airbrush tees as a 90s thing.

..It was one of my hustles.

My commissions were mostly bboys, but transitioned to gangs (especially bomber jackets, tracksuits, or anything denim). *By '89, I was airbrushing for people from all walks of life (including church groups and parents lol).

In response to Reply # 222


  

          

(who weirdly started being active again today) when he was meeting with Oso

but Chaka wasn't really around until 90/91

so it took me out of the moment

theres's other stuff like that in the show that stand out for me. the Flannel/hoodie combos also weren't a thing before the 90s when they were at every swap meet.

The flannel hoodie was around in the '80s my uncle used to rock one back when he was slanging/using powder then. Not sure if it was an Eastside thing or not but it was part of the fashion.

226. "mid 80s... absolutely not"
In response to Reply # 225
Tue Apr-11-23 06:25 PM by Mynoriti

  

          

84-86 la graff was in it's infancy and there were a handful of known writers...around 87/88 things started to ramp up quite a bit more. I mean i know this because i was around this stuff all the time as a kid in the late 80s. writers all knew each other or of each other, because there were a handful of yards where writers could congregate, or the writers bench on fairfax.
With Chaka his spot was mostly belmont, but he wasn't *really* around before 89 at best. he didn't become a known thing before 90 and he blew up after that.
if i can be more nitpicky, even the way he writes his name wasn't a style before the early 90s.. he was kind of the head of a second generation

I never met him because i moved on by then but alot my friends knew/know him.
my homeboy frame/nacho used to appear on those new specials with him once he was getting busted at all the time.

the flannel thing i could def be wrong about tho lol

because im washed enough to notice lol

not even sure if they had chaka do that or if someone scouted that spot He started getting active again after 20 something years
He's had gallery shows (which is wild for someone who doesn't really piece) and clothing collabs since then, but last year he started hitting spots again, which is pretty crazy.

I didn't notice anything until probably 87 when i saw some other kid with a pilot marker write on the bus... i was like what is this new york shit? i was used to gang graffiti. then like overnight it was everywhere, all these crews like WCA, LTS, K2S started popping up but really they had been around a few years.

Miner was known, i didn't learn who soon was until everyone at school had that Spraycan art book and LA had only like 2 pages which was pretty much Miner, Risk(then Risky) Soon and a cpl others

Styles before the late 80s were still kinda chicken scratchy. there's a huge difference between 84 and say 88/89. plus writers were way more brash by then, like 20 people mobbing an RTD bus while they dropped off passengers.

chaka stood out a lot because he never changed the way he wrote his name. super legible with a fat cap. it also made it easier for him to get caught. plus dude legit looked like chaka from land of the lost lol

Teddy gets the Al Green treatment and Cissy is the one to do the final deed.

Highlights: Havenmyer just bouncing; shit was hilarious to me.

Teddy going all in with that shit talk to Cissy til the end.

Oso looks like he'll get away even if Frnaklin didn't do Teddy as he asked.

Next week's preview looked interesting but I feel like this ending is getting fumbled.

Twenty minutes into the episode: "Franklin, you need to let Teddy go and walk away. It's for the good of the family."

Fifty minutes into the episode: "No! You can't let him go!"

Circumstances hadn't changed. She'd had her convos with both Teddy and Reuben. If anything, it was clearer to her why Franklin needed the money.

In response to Reply # 238


  

          

She'd already talked to Teddy and he'd spun his b.s. She didn't get any new information from Teddy or Reuben between urging Franklin to let him go and changing her mind later on. Teddy was just as likely to hunt them down before Franklin Al Greened him; probably more so.

..Her back & forth storyline was always muddled, but we've all known strong Black mothers that make exceptions to the rules for their own children.

My problem is how easily Teddy had her twisted about Alton.

She went from the satisfaction of getting revenge, to "..this is too far..." to... Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! © Levert

Everyone involved in this shit is guilty (including Cissy). There is no saving grace.

seeing him walk alone with those beautiful trees behind him..

but this is pretty much how it prolly ended for most people in his position. That crown only last for a few.

and hearing him talk like they are still after him when everyone just moved on with life because truth be told, he did exactly what was needed for America.

You always heard stories about those junkies who used to be THE MAN back in the day.

smh.. what a ride.

Franklin is walking around like his pops in the first season.

and gotdamn I didn’t even link that movie being filmed as a nod to Boyz In the Hood. The timing was perfect.. amazing ending

read a review and people are furious Franklin went out like this

but IMO its the perfect ending for a drug dealer. Most don’t retire. They either get killed, go to jail or end up on that shit

Franklin being a drunk living in his momma’s house because he has no one a d nothing to live for (all he cared about was money and power).

He ruined his hood and now he has to “live” in it.

Reading the twitter TL was enough. Idk if it was because Franklin was a charming and (relatively) likable person, but a lot of people seemed to be upset about that. I understood how and why it happened the way it happened, and I felt like reading reviews would've tainted my perception of the ending

His story is over; I'm hearing Wanda's story will take place during the late 80s and 90's rise of Gang Warfare and Gangsta Rap. If anything we'll probably get some more Leon.

to me like one of the crackheads that offered to blow O-Dogg in Menace (or maybe it was one of the crackheads in Friday? I forget). I was afraid he was on crack and not just alcohol.
