Power Season Two Finale – “Ghost is Dead” Review. Karma is a Bitch.
“Ghost is Dead” is quite the masterpiece! Writers Safia M. Dirie and Courtney Kemp Agboh, who is also the creator and executive producer of Power, prove how skillful they are with their complex plot points, brilliant dialogue, and twists and turns I never saw coming. Michael J. Bassett’s direction is well executed, particularly with the way he brings Dirie and Agboh’s script to life. In addition, all the stars turn in exceptional performances. The continuity of the scenes flows perfectly, leaving room for speculation on how season two will end.

Dominion – “Reap the Whirlwind” Retrospective. War is Hell.
After watching the latest episode of Dominion, I needed a stiff drink. “Reap the Whirlwind” is one of the series’ most intense episodes so far. David Whele’s (Anthony Head) anarchistic vision for Vega comes at a grave cost that even David himself will live to regret. Meanwhile, in New Delphi, Alex’s (Christopher Egan) fate as “The Chosen One” is put to the test when his plans go awry.

Power – “Time’s Up” Review. Fantasy Becomes Reality.
As penultimate episodes go, “Time’s Up” is right up there with the best of them. The episode builds with intensity, providing an inspired look inside Ghost’s brilliant mind, thanks to the superb writing of Raphael Jackson, Jr. and Damione Macedon, and Jim McKay’s outstanding direction.
