In this edition of Essence News, we asked the cast of the show to break down some of their favorite moments from the 5 epic seasons.
Transcript
00:00Following Game of Thrones with the Starbucks cups and stuff like that.
00:03It's like, wait a minute, we've got to really pay attention to details.
00:07We've got to pay attention to everything.
00:11I saw the first episode last night, no spoilers, but there is something about this show
00:18that never disappoints its fans. Like, what is the secret?
00:23It's so exciting when you feel everyone's energy and the excitement this time of year
00:27when it's about to come back on and everybody's waiting and you know it's going to be tweeted about and talked about
00:32and just to be a part of something so special is great.
00:36Well, in some ways that's out of our control. I'm sure Courtney and the writing staff definitely upped the Annie
00:42where she did something really risky. The way she does the ending and it's unique and something that we haven't sort of seen.
00:49Potentially polarizing as well.
00:51Yeah, potentially polarizing.
00:52Could have a ton of people that love it and then a ton of people that hate it or whatever,
00:56but she took a huge risk.
00:57But I think everyone's going to respect it.
00:59I'm still not tired of it because when I do watch it and everyone else is watching,
01:02I'm thinking, what are they thinking?
01:04Mm-hmm.
01:05Like, how does everyone else feel about it?
01:07And then I get the phone calls, like, from my aunts, you know?
01:09Everybody.
01:10And they're like, yo, bro, why you didn't tell me?
01:12I'm like, I can't tell you.
01:14Right, right.
01:15Sometimes the people that you trust the most can turn on you with no warning.
01:19Everything you do is always for you.
01:21Out of the past five seasons, what has been the most impactful death?
01:28I would say Reyna.
01:29I just think that it's so unexpected.
01:33It's so ruthless, but it is what power is as a show.
01:38And to have writers that are not afraid to go there is what makes power so interesting and crazy and different.
01:44I agree because Reyna was the one innocent person on the show.
01:49She was actually protecting her brother.
01:52And this is something that would, it happens organically.
01:56I know women that would go to the end of the world for their brother and sibling.
02:01It was tough on Tasha's character.
02:03That was a turning point where she stopped believing in ghosts.
02:06You made this mess, you fix it.
02:09I didn't kill her, Edgy.
02:10I didn't kill her.
02:11You will.
02:12The steamiest love scene.
02:15And it doesn't have to involve you.
02:16Just out of all the seasons, what do you think is the steamiest?
02:19Yeah.
02:20My, yeah.
02:21Like, mine's was like, it's pretty awkward.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Um, and then Lala, what about you?
02:27Um, yeah, I mean, I've had a few steamy ones.
02:30No one, no one is safe when it comes to that.
02:32Remember the blizzard?
02:33Yeah.
02:34Exactly.
02:35The blizzard.
02:36Tasha masturbating in the back of the SUV to Shawn.
02:38Interesting.
02:39Pretty steamy and shocking.
02:41I'm like, what?
02:42What?
02:43I have a really good love scene this year.
02:46There's gonna be some hot, steamy sex.
02:49I'm listening.
02:50Your boy Dre is a real snake.
02:53He slithered his way up under time and stole his whole organization.
02:56The streets is mine now.
02:59So this is the final betrayal.
03:00But up until now, what has been the worst betrayal on power?
03:05Well, I would think for me, watching Kanan kill his son was, it was a betrayal on both parts.
03:12I thought, you know how you saw some people feel like Tasha and Kanan had some sort of intimacy going on?
03:19Yeah.
03:20It's because it was her idea to send him to jail to begin with.
03:23And when Tommy finds out that Ghost and Tasha set up Kanan to get him arrested, that they were actually, you know, like, they broke code.
03:32Everything got comfortable in her life.
03:34Everything went the way she wanted her life to go after Kanan was gone.
03:38And then now he's back.
03:40That betrayal sent him to jail.
03:43This was for driving.
03:44Worst betrayal ever.
