Keeps Getting Better and Better
 

OOOOOOOOOOO WEE!! This episode was HOT HOT HOT!!

I thought Terri was gonig to knock the "cow walking mess" outta Bird when she told her she doesn't understand because she is not a wife or mother.

I really was scared for Bird and Lem's marriage. This was a case of Bird needing to smell how crappy S*** is instead of other people telling her.

I hollered when Terri tried to give Damon that check for office space.

As far as your question Sphinx, yes when I end a relationship like boyfriend girlfriend and there are no children then yes I do expect my family to sever ties. I have an old boyfriend who I grew up with so that is a little different but I do not expect to see him at any of the family outings.

Re: Keeps Getting Better and Better
 

You know Bird was wrong for that! I was kinda surprised when Max flipped the script in the kitchen :eek:, but I guess she was right in some aspect. At least Bird got to see what she was missing out on. OK, so where is Jack going to be while Lem is picking up Bird?

To me Terri became very immature when she tried to subtly dissuade Damon's nomination, and when she offered him the check. Now that she has her family behind her, she needs to really move on. Unfortunately, she can't just erase Damon ~ plus, his viewers would miss him. ;)

All I can say is Soul Food gets better with each episode. This show has come such a long way from the premier episodes.:D

Now as for last nights episode, yes it was another good one. I could not believe Bird told Terri she wouldn't understand because she wasn't married or had children. I was hurt for Terri, and I wanted to slap the "crap" out of Bird my damn self.

I am glad that Bird did go out and see that she is not missing anything, I think Max was correct in telling her to go, because if she didn't she would have never known what it was really like, and that it was not for her. I still thought she was crazy for wanting to do it, but I could see where she was coming from. Lem has come such a long way, I was glad to see him come around and support his wife, even if she was being and acting simple.

You all know what was funny. When Max said to Lem that they would be back around 3pm for Sunday dinner, and Bird was like you still having Sunday dinner, and Lem was like it's still Sunday. I thought that was classic. :)

Yeah he Showed Her
 

He showed her that life is still life even when you are gone, baby Bird. Chirp Chirp!! :p

It's Good For the Soul
 

OK now I am a little upset with Bird. She makes this big case about going away and not even stopping to her first city she is ready to go home! Secondly, if you have a stable GOOD father, please leave your son at home that was mad selfish for her to do. Bird needs to realize that when she makes these kinds of decisions it affects the entire family! Sometimes what is good for you may not be good for everyone else. It is called sacrifice and if you are not willing to make it you should not be married with children! Ladies don't get me wrong I am not knocking having a dream or having adventure and DEFINITLY do not put your life on hold if you have greater ambitions but try to think how your decision is gonna affect other people.

Terri Get a grip please. :rolleyes: Be professsional with Damon. Offering him a new office space was petty! This was your ex-man. But he still is a business man. The way the family went about cutting him off is wrong. When you have a young man like Amahed you need to have positive Black Men in their lives daily and he was doing that! Damon spent time with him and was good for him.

I hope Bird uses better judgement in the future and Terri can keep it professional before her and Damon are doing the wild thing on a office desk.

I only had a couple of things on my mind.;)

I have to agree with sphinxpoet. I argued with my boyfriend all night about Bird's decision. He comes from a single man's perspective (not to mentione a dollar sign chasing perspective). I knew she wasn't going to be able to go and I thought she was being selfish by taking the baby although I knew as a mom, she would want to have her baby with her. If she were a single mom thenI think the situation would obviously be different...she could go on the road...forever, hire a tutor (the whole celebrity mom thing) but not with the daddy at home, etc., etc.

Max's perspective, valid as it was, was also based on her own experience as a SAHM 24/7. Bird is not a SAHM and has a thriving business and a man who is primary caregiver to their baby. No one said it was easy but as a mom and wife, family comes first and nothing is worth tearing up the family over.

I am mad at the Bird crotch shots before she and Lem got it on. I do not need to see that. How about some crotch shots of da fellas every now and again :)

Damion told Terri just where to go and she deserved it. She is actually making herself look dumber as the episodes go by. She gave him entirely too much power.

I am nervous about what the future brings...how will their relationship pan out I wonder?

Damion shole do look good though.

I agree with sphinx also. I couldn't believe she wanted to take the baby on the road. Crazy. But to be honest, when she said $700 a night I was like, "Lem better get a grip and go too!!" :D

I too thought that about the crotch shots. I know they want it to be steamy, but have they forgotten that they have a mainly female audience? I'm getting tired of seeing Bird in her undies, man. Once in a while is ok for the guys that watch it, but personally, I could do without it.

And, (no, trust me, I'm not hatin'), but do they have a new makeup artist? Everyone on there has their own natural beauty and are gorgeous. But they have Bird wearing purple eyeshadow and rust lipstick (big no-no) :mad: . Also, you could see the stretch marks on her hips and lines in Debra Cox's back.

I don't know, maybe I just pay too close attention to details. :rolleyes: :)

The show was still good, though. :D

I agree that the show has come a long way.

I think Terri should have reimbursed Bird for losing Damon's business. It's one thing to cut family ties, but $$$ is another.

Ahmad's folks are always wanting better opportunities for him, want him to treat people fair, and then they pull this. Didn't they learn anything from the episode 2 weeks ago when they got the coach fired?

Damon was on point to tell Terri what she could do with her money. I wonder if she will tell her law firm to sever ties with him and how long before someone discovers they were dating? I can't wait to see how Terri (and Damon) will explain how they played perfect strangers.

BAAAAAAAAANGING EPISODE
 

SOUL FOOD is the only thing on TV worth watching and tonight's ep was AAAAAALLLLLLLL of that.

I was on the edge of my seat watching it tonight.

WHAT SCANDALOUS STUFF is JACK UP TO?
WHYYYYYYYY WAS TONIGHT the last new episode until January!?!??!?

I was LMAO @ AHmad and his kisses. Keesha is working her man :p

I am so glad Max stepped in to help her man.

$500,000 is a BIT MUCH for some bail. I feel so bad for Lem. That jail scene was OFF THE HOOK :eek: :eek: :eek: That detective was RUDE :mad: and SCANDALOUS to arrest Lem at Groove Theory!!

Oh and I knew Terri and Braxton were going to have "Chemistry". This will make the office an even more interesting place to work at.


I love this love this love this SHOW!!

< ------ cancelling Showtime tomorrow:p

CT4,

I am sooooo very upset that I missed Soul Food last night. I totally forgot that yestereday was Wednesday and went to sleep at 9:30 thinking nothing else was coming on.

I am definitely going to have to catch the repeat on Sunday. I am also a little upset that you posted that there will not be anymore new episodes until January...what's up with that. That's cool because the show has definitely come to a point where they are leaving us wanting more. :D

Re: BAAAAAAAAANGING EPISODE
 

I was thinking the same thing. Did they find a dead body in the store or something? A half a mil for arson? I think not.

I know it's tv and all, but man, they have some of the speediest trials I've ever seen.

I also didn't understand why Bird jumped all over Kenny for being too busy for her. Dang, the man got to support his family.

Can't wait 'til January...

Re: Re: BAAAAAAAAANGING EPISODE
 

Had me on the edge of my seat!! I don't think I can wait until January!!!http://plauder-smilies.de/cry.gif

That wasn't a trial, that was just an arrainment to see if there was enough evidence to warrant a trial. But, you are right $500k's for arson!!:eek: Oh, and that jail scene was just ...OH, MY!! I never wanna go to jail!!

I believe it could have been Hardy Lester myself. They need to prove that he was actually in Mississippi. That seems like something that he would do, especially after playing crazy didn't work.

Bird was wrong for jumping all over Kenny. I guess if he would have explained that he NEEDED this contract (especially since he lost his biggest client of 10 years), she would have understood.

I don't know what is up with Jack, but he is one twisted soul!

Re: Re: Re: BAAAAAAAAANGING EPISODE
 

I understand Bird's frustration with Kenny. For at least 15 years Kenny has been a big brother/father type figure so when he could not be there for his BIG BIRD;) , she felt alone and abandoned.

Finally
 

GREAT EPISODE!

I felt Amahd's Pain(But that was a damn quick fight). But 1/2 a million for Lem to get out of Jail! You have got to be kidding me! You know the person who set the fire is someone we were not even thinking of...........I am mad I have to wait til January to find out who it is. But that is the way that love goes. Terri needs to stay away from men for a minute and get her head together. It seems like every week some new guy is chasing after her. Tell them to relax.

Re: Finally
 

Ok here are some of guesses as to possible suspects:
Treach's character
Jack
Alderwoman what's her face
Some other schiesty character that we might have never met.
