S05.E06: A Changed Man?

[Masque of Anarchy]

Quote

After his spiritual awakening with Rev. Macedon, Ghost confesses his sins to Angela; Angela preps Tasha for federal questioning; Ghost must break his business deal with Tommy when Truth is audited by the IRS.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Lol, Dre needs a Spanish translation app. What an idiot.

Proctor can't win for losing. I bet his ex is going to turn up dead and he'll be looking suspicious.

ANGELA! YOU'RE A FEDERAL PROSECUTOR! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TRUST A CRIMINAL! What is wrong with her? Other than basic dickmatization, that is.

What's up with 50's hairline? Seems, uh, enhanced in some way.

Organic unicorns. Bleh, still horse meat.

Who was that guy Kanan beat up? Was he basically showing Tariq the ropes in handling the classmates that he'll be dealing to?

Of course Tasha didn't fall for it because she knows who killed that dirty cop. That NYPD detective was full of herself.

Poor Tommy. He wants a daddy so bad. He'll be heartbroken.

That little brat Tariq is the weakest link and will probably be the one who gets caught dealing at Choate. Then it'll just be a matter of how quickly he rats out James to save himself.

How could they not have a scene of Proctor asking Tommy for the drugs.  That would have been gold!

Also, Proctor was really dumb to literally hand that shit to his wife in public.  I thought he was smarter than that and expected him to leave it in her car or in her house, some place where she would find, think she missed it while tossing all her stashes and then cave.  That was some real rookie shit.

Tariq just doesn't fucking listen.  Don't hang out with Kanaan. Don't ever tell anyone that you killed the cop.  And what does he do.

I want to see how Angela is gonna pull herself out of this mess.  Not a single person on her team trusts her.  The look on her face when she realized they were actually after her and not James or Tasha, was priceless.

I really hate him. Like, what a dumbass. The mere fact that he doesn't realize that fucking around with Kanan is what put him on the collision course that is his life, and oh, got his sister killed is baffling. There would've been no Ray-Ray in his life had Kanan not introduced him to Tariq. 

I'm going to chalk up Tariq getting into Choate the same way Angela became head of crim although she's been marred in scandal since Day 1. Suspension of disbelief. Raina getting into Choate I could believe because at least she went to class. We all know Tariq was out here being an idiot and cutting school. Yet, he gets in? Favor ain't fair. Now he's going to get kicked out. 

I loved Tasha not even being slightly fazed when she went to Angela's apartment and saw Ghost there. And even more so when she hit Ghost with the "Terry loves me more than you ever did." Too bad she's going to end up either getting Terry disbarred or killed.

I see him getting killed ..I feel like his character is short lived as Tasha's love interest.  Maybe I'm wrong but he will eventually get in the way .

The non-Tariq/Kanan part of the ep was an A.  The Tariq-Kanan part was an F.  How am I still stunned each week by the new levels of this kid's stupidity?  Speaking of stupidity, I thought Tommy realized he couldn't trust Teresi.

That was my favorite part of the ep.  I think her best chance for getting out of this mess is something we see frequently on this show, which is the IA officer and Angela's fellow prosecutors over-reaching in their zealousness to catch her.  It also helps that Tasha will never rat on Tariq or Ghost.

The Taino should've ratted on Dre as he was burning up.  The conversation about speaking Spanish was hilarious.

The walls seem to be closing in on Proctor.  I just hope he screws over Mak and Terry before it goes south for him.

Poor dumb Terry. Who gets involved with a kingpins wife? A dead ass Sean...and Terry.

I don't understand what Tariq claims is his motivation for hating his family. So he hates his dad for being a G but is going to keep trying to be one himself? Even after it kills his innocent sister? And does he have Stockholm Syndrome with Kanan?

[PsychoDrone]

Loved Tasha in the interrogation.  IA detective can't flip her on the murder because Tasha knows who actually did it.  Absolutely convincing when only telling the truth.  That is about the murder, not anything else.  Her lawyer boyfriend is going to turn up dead.  He tries to come off as righteous, but he still seems swarmy to me.  He best be glad Ghost was preoccupied with other things, or he would have been "ghosted".  After open challenging Ghost, and then banging Tasha, was not a path for continued good health.

I'm pretty meh on the pursuit of Angela.  She NEVER should have been promoted to the position in the first place.  The show is ridiculous in that way.  Imagine that, you put a person in a position where most everyone (maybe not bald, black dude) doesn't trust her, the boss is leery of her, and then she acts suspicious?!?!?  All kinds of evidence supported firing Angela, but the boss promotes her.  Way to fail upward, Angela.

I hate Rayna was killed because it seems so pointless.  How it happened and the reason for her death was stupid.  The show milking it for all its worth is even more stupid.  Just tired of the forced angst.  "Ghost, deal with your daughter's death!!!!"  "I did it for Rayna"  "The project is for Rayna"  "It's my fault Rayna's dead"  and on and on and on.  Are they going to show us how the other kid is dealing with Rayna's death?  Oh wait, there is still another kid right?  They could put in a cardboard cutout for her and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
