Power season 5 trailer, new key art revealed for Starz drama
If you look below, you can see the beginnings of what is a season supposedly about vengeance. Raina St. Patrick is dead following the actions of her brother Tariq, and this is not a tragedy that Ghost is going to let go. Instead, he’s still out for blood even after what happened to Ray Ray. He’s working with Tommy seemingly in a way that he didn’t do for most of last season; to go along with that, he’s also in league with Kanan again. That seems like a recipe for disaster, mostly because it’s hard to imagine Jamie or anyone else ever wanting to trust the guy ever again.
Clearly, though, the alliance with Jamie, Kanan, and Tommy is lasting a little while — the three are all featured in the key art above, which also suggests that 50 Cent could be due for one of his biggest seasons in years after being used a little more intermittently during seasons 3 and 4.
As we get closer to the premiere for Power, the one question that we have for Ghost is this: What is this all for? We understand the desire to ask his grief by embracing his old life, but is any of this really going to get him anywhere? It really just feels more than anything else like he is setting himself up to have to endure even more suffering — he’ll get the temporary high of inflicting some vengeance somewhere, but for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is a warpath that could lead to the loss of other people he loves. The death of Raina was a domino effect that kicked off because of some of his own actions being passed along to Tariq. Something similar could happen here once more. It’s a dangerous game, but isn’t that what we all watch Power to see in the first place?
