1. I don't give a damn about any of Tariq's love interests and their poorly acted scenes, so let's just not.

2. Michael Rainey Jr. is a baby head on stilts. We already know they ain't gonna have him smutting out girls - which is why he keeps "accidentally" stumbling upon other folks' xes scenes - and I don't want to entertain the thought, so I don't wanna see none of his lil friends getting it in either.

IDC IDC. PUT A CHASTITY BELT ON POWER TNG AND THROW AWAY THE KEY. YA GOTSTA BE 27 PLUS PLAYING 27 PLUS TO DATE IN THIS BIG RICH TOWN.

I agree it’s like this :

We watched an adult show for six seasons it was about Drugs, Power , Money, love, Murder and xes ! A leading man who was eye candy to watch in xes scene and was convincing as a murderer and boss.

Tariq doesn’t even have hitters now cause they are gone or dead the ones he could call. If he gets into anything he has to fold cause he turned on everyone.

We definitely don’t want to see this child having xes although he is now 19 almost 20 on real life it’ll be just gross watching it.

Was it a bad episode no but it’s definitely for teens and college kids who weren’t hard core Power fans with high expectations.

I’ll watch cause there’s nothing else on right now be reruns and Netflix. I’m disgusted and only want to see Tate and Tommy spin offs.

This. He's still super young and the fact that we watched him grow up creates this visceral feeling to never see him doing those activities. But I know Power and Courtney and 50 Pennies. As the seasons go on they will make him start having xes scenes.

You expect a college boy with money not to be fµck!ng? Im sorry thats just unrealistic.


He can be screwing as many as he wants they just don’t need to show it in full nudity or in motion to the audience . We good on him,

Nothing against Michael Rainey, but they needed to SORAS Tariq. He is just not believable in this role.

I agree. And as Black people and Black women do we always have to be doggystyle, fu$cking some guy while others walk in or sucking dick in a bathroom? Like come on????!!!! The oversexualization of Black women is so apparent and so sad.

I too was a bit taken back and disgusted, but I guess that makes it more real and "turns people on" to watch.:worried:

Yes we watched him since he was a kid. But people grow up and mature, if that's where they take his role, it is what it is. He's not a kid anymore. Everyone grows up eventually.

We don't want to see it because we watched him grow up. They can hint at it but we don't want to see it. He was in 5th grade in season 1.

I am scared he'll have a xes scene because they showed some people having xes in the preview for the series. It was a light skin woman having xes with someone chocolate.

I really don't want them to go down that road, but I think if/when he does do the do, they'll give it the teen show treatment instead of the crazy stuff they normally do.

The best option is TO NOT DO IT AT ALL, PLEASE!!!

What I’ve noticed from power is that he kisses girls and they allude to the fact they’re having xes. If we stuck with the original power timeline his character is 15 or 16 years old, and it’d be hella weird.

It is a HUGE opportunity for him carrying this show, but unfortunately he doesn't have the acting chops to pull it off. He needs all these supporting characters.

Instead of trying to make a POWER franchise they should have just kept the original and continued the story without ghost and kept DRE and TOMMY around.

I miss adulting so to speak; this show needs to get back dark and grimey.

Tariq has always fit in more with that preppy crowd than the streets. I hate that they turned him to the streets because it is not believable. I also thought it was poor writing to have him kill his own father. Tariq didn't hate Ghost that much; he resented him for the Angela sh!t but it just wasn't believable.

They should have had TOMMY kill GHOST and shift the show to focus on TOMMY and TARIQ and TASHA plotting to get revenge all while pretending to be cool with TOMMY. They could have had TOMMY kill GHOST as revenge for TASHA killing KEISHA.

It would have been an interesting dynamic and kept the suspense factor that this series has been missing for a couple seasons.

I think 50 cent and Courtney forgot that the primary demographic for the show is not teens and 20 year olds. I hate what they turned TASHA into she is dumber in each season.

They really ruined the show trying to make it HOUSE OF CARDS with the stupid politics.

Happy to report that episode 2 featured no xes between character's under the age of 27.

This is good. We're on the right track.

Sadly, a character under the age of 27 did engage in xesual activity this week, but she looked grown as hell and isn't one of Tariq's friends.

I count this as a win. Let's keep it going.

Bad news. They're starting to make the young people do stuff and after this episode, I don't support any romance between anybody; it's all very cringe!

Sad news: an undergrad has engaged in xesual activity...with an adult adult! These are bad times. Bad, gross times.

Yeah Michael is 20 but looks younger and his voice doesn't help.

Anyway for this thread title, maybe they should leave the romance out altogether because I don't know anybody who likes the professor, counselor storyline.

The romance the adults have is cringeworthy. Id rather watch the college kids than the hoe ass professors
