So this is a review to the Power Episode. WARNING THERE ARE SPOILERS EVERYWHERE. So read at your own risk!!!!!

So right off the top when the intro song came on, I was like WTF is this? For whatever reason, somebody decided to change it up. But why, the original intro song was awesome. I mean if I did a top five tv theme song vote, Power’s might be in the top 5. Def the top 10. I was already annoyed about that when this episode picked up, where we left off last season. Ghost is with Angie while she is being rushed into the hospital. She’s in bad shape because Tommy shot her.

I don’t understand, what Tommy was thinking. He went there to kill Ghost, but Angie pushed Ghost out of the way and she got shot instead. After shooting Angie, it seems like Tommy was like, I guess I’m good now.

It was like he said to himself, I got a clip full of bullets, but I guess I’ll just save the rest for a rainy day. That was dumb!!! I was expecting Angie to survive, but surprisingly she died. As you can imagine, Angie’s sister is distraught and blames Ghost. Even tho she never liked him, he tries to comfort her. That didn’t go over well.

Meanwhile; Tommy and Tasha are talking about the failed assignation attempt on Ghost. You would think that she would be a little more upset that her friend tried to kill her husband but instead killed his mistress. The mistress who was a FED and kept Tasha, Ghost, Tariq and everyone else she knew out of jail. What can I say tho, a woman scorned!

Tasha is pissed because her new guy, formerly her husband’s attorney, Silver is now missing. She thinks Ghost killed him, but I’m not so sure about that. He is definitely missing. His fam even filed a missing person report with the cops. Tasha is so upset, she went up to that man’s job and found out about all of that.

After the shooting. Tommy gave his gun to Keisha to throw away. Why did she still have the gun in her purse the next day? During breakfast, her son almost discovered it. She freaked out and she grabbed the purse before he found it. That brings me to my next point, the kids on this show are disrespectful AF!!! When I was growing up there was no going in my mother’s purse, unless I had permission. These kids talk to their parents just any kind of ole way. Later when Tommy made it home, Ghost was waiting for him and they started fighting. Tariq walked in and grabbed a gun, that had been kicked across the room. He then ordered his dad and uncle to stop fighting.

At that point, he started talking to his pops, like he was itching for an a** whooping. Ain’t no way Ghost should be letting that boy talk to him like that. Ghost eventually leaves and goes to his club. A short time later, Tasha shows up to talk. That’s when this man explains Angie was dead. He then tells his wife, that was the woman he loved. I’m like bruh, you talking to your wife about your side piece. Tasha brings up her missing and possibly dead side dude, but Ghost is like…..

Tariq is supposed to be at his boarding school, where he was sent after killing the crooked cop, who killed his sister. However, this spoiled a**h*** is just out in them streets, just chilling. His mom catches him skipping school and threatened to take him back. He pleads with her to get an hour to do something. For whatever reason, she agrees. We soon find out he was sent Keenan’s ashes. Keenan, the same guy that Tariq helped his mom get killed last season. I’m still not convinced that Keenan is really dead. I mean if you have been watching, dude has escaped death like a million times.

Tariq asked Tommy to help him pour the ashes out on the rooftop of a building When Tommy put on Bone Thugs, “The Crossroads”, I lost it. During the hood AF wake, Tommy got some of the ashes and put them on his blunt and smoked them.

Since Angie was a Fed, her coworkers are pissed, everyone is blaming themselves or eath other for her getting killed. Once again they’re going after Ghost. The boss gets fired and the new guy takes over. Mr. No Nonsense comes in like, I don’t how yall did things before I got here; but we’re going to solve this case Blah, Blah, Blah.

Tommy also wilds out and shoots one of his disgruntled employees. Later he is nearly killed by Ghost, who was waiting for Tommy and shot up Tommy’s car. Ghost mistakingly killed another guy, who no one really cared about.

It def was a good episode, but I’m left with one question. Where the hell is the other St Patrick kid, Yaz. Please don’t make her the Judy Winslow of this show. Judy just disappeared on, “Family Matters.” She went upstairs one day and was never seen again. That was until she started doing porn. Again tho where is Yaz? She is never with any of the adults. Tasha and her mom were out one night and Yaz wasn’t there. There is no talk of a nanny or babysitter. So who is keeping this baby? That is what I have to know. It’s the burning question that will make or break this season. Where TF is Yaz and is she the key to ending the war between Tommy and Ghost?

So the streets have been talking about this new chicken sandwich. I’m always listening to what the streets are saying, but this talk was troubling. Folks had the “AUDACITY” to say this new sandwich was better than Chick -Fil-A’s version.

I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t convinced, that Popeyes could make a sandwich that could compete with the reigning Chicken Sandwich King. My favorite character Omar from the HBO series, “The Wire” famously said……

Omar was an amazing and very complex character. And if you have never seen “The Wire”, you need to check it out ASAP. I mean finish reading this first and then go watch it lol.

But back to this battle of over chicken sandwiches. I didn’t want to believe it. But the more people talked about it, the more I wanted to see what the hype was all about. So I set out on a quest. I wanted to get one of these highly coveted sandwiches. I drove to the nearest Popeye’s location and it took 15 mins, just to get into the parking lot. The place was packed. Once I made it into the drive-thru line, there were about 15 cars ahead of me. As I got closer to the drive-thru window, I noticed what looked like handwritten signs. The signs were up on trees and on the doors. Once I read them, my heart sank. The signs said, “We’re out of chicken sandwiches as of 6 pm.” I was about an hour and a half late. I drove home and debated if I would try to do this again tomorrow.

I was on the fence until I saw this tweet. That when I knew, I had to go back.

I was now determined to go back and get one of these sandwiches. Well, make that two. Because I couldn’t leave my wife high and dry. So the next day I tried again. I hoped there would be fewer people out during the middle of the day, but I was wrong.

I found a looooooong line of people just trying to get into the parking lot. It took about 10 mins just to go thru the light. But I learned my lesson the day before, instead of trying to go into the parking lot, I parked across the street. I decided going inside would be the best way to get the sandwiches. When I walked in, there were people everywhere. It was chaotic, to put it mildly (see what I did there lol). There were about 25 people in line waiting to order. At this point I said “F*** it”, I’m here now. I might as well see it all the way through.

I then got into line and started playing the waiting game. There were pretty cool people waiting around me. We talked and joked, which made the time go by faster. Soon there were like 60 people in the lobby, who were all waiting for this damn sandwich. I waited 45 mins until I made it to the register. I was so happy that I made it to the promised land. However, before I could even order, the Popeyes employee, (looking like he had just run a marathon and fought three people, on his way to work), told me it was going to be another 30 min wait for the chicken sandwiches. DAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Whatever, I ordered four and two apple pies. I have to say the 20 min wait to get them after I ordered, was the toughest part of the wait. More and more people were showing up now. As they walked in I could hear them asking, ” Do they still have them.” Eventually, I secured that bag.

It took forever to get out of the parking lot and to get home. I can’t lie, I was tempted to start eating that bad boy in the car, but I waited. Once I walked inside the house tho, it was on. I smaaaaaaaaaaaaashed!!!!!! At first, I thought it’s ok. But then as I kept eating it, it got better and better.

In what seemed like a min, the entire sandwich was gone and I wanted more. When I realized it was gone, I stared at the last crumb left on my plate. I then wondered how could this be? How could Popeyes create something like this? I went into this bias AF. I didn’t want to like this new sandwich. But I couldn’t deny that it was amazing. It was well worth the hour-plus, it took to finally get one. So after trying this, I’m convinced that Popeyes is the new chicken sandwich “KING!”
