Yes, this season opener was great! I was about ready to kick Lem's @$$, I mean he just got back in good with the family himself!

Yay!! Everybody came back!!! Hopefully, Bird will be fine, I'm still a little concerned for Kenny, I was almost in tears when he was walking on the walker as Ahmad was being baptized...I hope that he makes a full recovery. However, did anyone else think that the part where his arm fell off and the fingers on the hand were moving was a little strange? I know Kenny was having a nighmare, but that part was silly to me. I'm glad that Terri is free from Greene and Norris, I think that her character will be better for it. Maybe she'll take the airline from last season up on their offer and work for them. And, speaking of changes, what happened to Miles? He was supposed to come to the hospital!! I wonder if he's going to come back and he and Terri are going to get something started. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif And WHY is Lem trying to fight with Damon over the accident? I couldn't believe he was trying to tell Damon that he was wrong for visiting Kenny, like he was competing for friendship with him. Looks like next week will be just as good, considering Kenny's secretary is back and wants to "make it all better". I can't wait to see what Max has to say about that!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

It was a sleeper to me, and I only hope it picks up. I like Terri, but I'm tired of her family using her. Max had nerve to get a little mad when she said she was going back to work, like Terri suppose to be official babysitter. Lem needs to check hisself, but his half azz apology made him look a little better. I want to see the secretary and Kenny get a little tempted. Just something about Max I don't like in this series, Now Vivaca Fox played that role.
I don't know many black SAHM's, isn't that a white thing. All the sistas I know have to work. I just hopes it picks up.

AMEN AMEN!

I...cannot..stand....Max!

I haven't liked her since day one! She is so jealous of Terri it's pathetic. Terri cannot help if Max's son looks up to her, or that Terri got her stuff together. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

When she put a lean or whatever on her mama house, that was it for me!

I hope Byrd get better also. Man how fine is her man. And he love the hell outta her also, how cute!

QTE

Remember he was walking down the hall to check on Bird and then he bathed her. . .soooo sweet.

I, too, dislike this Vanessa Williams character as Maxine. Vivica Foxx played the mess out of the role.

You all need to pay attention to the opening credits, KENNY will be fine. There is a scene where he and Max are acuddly and cozy.

I guess since they skipped the action up a week and Miles is gone back on the road that we will not see Miles as a character this season except in guest starring role.

That dream was CRAZY!!

I understand Lem dogging out Damon. Remember he had just got his wife back and to lose while the person responsible walks away with headaches. Lem is reacting out of anger and fear. Don't worry I know that WHATEVER DOES NOT KILL YOU WILL ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER. I also think that Lem blocked Damon from seeing Kenny because Kenny is very important to him like the POSITIVE BIG BROTHER figure to him.

much respect...

okay soul food is gonna have to come better than this for me to sit down on wednesdays and watch it.

i never watched it until the middle of last season when my fiancee started hosting "soul food wednesdays" with her friends and last season was a'ight. now this bogus mess they showed as a season premiere...left something to be desired.

terri actually came out looking as the more family oriented in this one...which was good. they always try and make her to more career oriented...making her seem like...she could care less about her family and only about her law firm. btw...i dont understand why she keeps trusting that white boy she talks to frequently...that is just ignorant.

lem got some damn nerve. who is he to confront damon? like someone else said...he just got back in with the family.

maxine...ummm...needs a life! terri is the one that financially is the most stable of all of them (remember when she said, "i'll be okay for three years without working" *paraphrased* but you know a sista got loot to say that!)...and has been from the movie. she is the one that will probably foot the bills for the hospital stays and whatnot. so if she is concerned about going back to work and doing what she has to do for her fam...then let her do it. shes not max's babysitter...damn.

poor bird...but i can see theres about to be some problems.

all in all...soul food needs to step up the quality of the shows if they expect to get renewed.

speaking of shows *switching channels* when is OZ coming back on? dag!

peace

Acutally, I've read a few reviews that support Soul Food far more that Resurrection Blvd. Better writing, producing, etc. I thought the season opener was pretty good. It is a soap-opera, like Sopranos, more than a mini-movie each week. As such, it's one of the better soap-opera's I've seen. I still love Damon, and I did think Max was out of line for having attitude when Terri wanted to go back to work. I would be encouraging Terri to work in order to maintain a stable financial base for the family. Terri was wonderful during this episode. Lem's affection for Bird was heartwarming, although any woman with a UTI has probably also peed on herself before, so that wasn't that big of a deal--I thought she was hemorraging at first or something. That little boy's head is still too big! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I am so glad everybody came back, especially my man Damon. Whew! That man is fine. But I can see that he and Terri are going to have problems with intimacy.

I don't blame Terri for leaving. Green-Norris thought they were about to run game on her. Terri could open up her own law firm or work anywhere, if she's that good.

I can't believe that Max got a 'tude with Terri for going back to work. I mean, Kenny can't work, Bird can't work, Lem probably makes enough just for his immediate family, Max doesn't work, so somebody has to make the money. They always come to Terri for the money, but now when she needs to go back, they trip? WTF?
Max does need a life, the jealousy is so obvious.

I also can't wait to see what happens with Lila and Kenny (he's cute too).

I don't see Max as being jealous of Terri but if you remember from the movie, Max was considered to be the daughter most like Mother Joe. MY meaning is she is the one who looks after her sisters, yes they all look after each other, but Max is most like the mother to her sisters. She is the peacemaker.

Yes I think she was upset that Terri went back to work, but I think it was more of I NEED YOU SISTA for me to lean on. My husband is laid up with a broken back, I have 3 kids and now I need to run his company. I also think that since Max is a SAHM, she is timid at the thought of going back to work. Max needs to gain confidence. In the series they portray her as a sex crazed, overbearing mom and I hope this season she begins to assert herself more as a woman who can run things.

Yes, Terri should be there for her sisters, but she also had some unfinished business of her own. Now, that she has quit, she can be there all the time for the family. Which will probably get on Max's nerves too.

I saw the season premier and thought it was pretty good. I liked the fact that everyone came back as well.

As far as Terri quitting - I am glad her character left.....the world is FULL of Greene Norris or better so why trip over one job.. after all it IS just a job. Family is where the heart should lay anyway.

Lem is just FOINE! No other way to put it but he was out of order for the way he spoke to Damon and for what he said to Damon. Lem barely got an entire foot in good w/ the family again so he is really skating on thin ice.

I hope Kenny's character recovers because his character is such a good man. A man with flaws but a good man who loves his family to no end. As far as black SAHM's.. I know SEVERAL black women who do not have to work, taking care of their children and living in PHAT homes here in MD and SC.

I love the fact that Soul Food recognizes that black people encompass all types of lifestyles and do not always have to be perceived as struggling lab rats.

I like the show and am sure this new season will pick up.

WEEK 2 What did you think?

All I will say for now is serves Ahmad right trying to 2 time Keesha. ROFLMAO @ the BOOTY magazine.

Can I just say that this season is da Bomb! I agree Soror CT4 Ahmad is a trip...and Lem was trying to regulate on Bird showing up at the club like that, I was truly ROTFLMAO cause I know some crazy brothers that would actually do that!!!! And can I just say DAYUM to Damon phine self!!! Whew!!! almost broke into a cold sweat!

I think Soul Food has come a long way from the first season. I remember saying I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to watch the entire first season because I wasn't feeling the first few episodes, but now I look forward to Wednesday nights 10pm sharp http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif.

That Boris Kodjoe is really FIONE!! the guy that plays Lem is a cutie as well but now that I know he is gay I alugh when I see him trying to play all tough. Not that gay men arenot tough, but you know what I am saying.

Yes I was truly cracking up when Lem showed up at the club with the baby. But did anyone see the preview for next week when Bird goes to the strip club to dance...what the hell is up with that.

What's up that Damon can't get it up for Terri, but can get it up for the x-girlfriend.

Oh and by the way can someone tell me what in the heck "SAHM" stands for. I am going crazy trying to figure that one out. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

WOW!! Last night's episode was intense.
Ahmad, Terri, Lem, Max -- all having issues.

Lem's mom was something else and now I see why Lem has been so upset my the change in Bird these past few episodes.

I think Terri will be back in counseling --soon. Damon betta "lay low" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Anyway this season is so much better than last season.

HOLD UP HOLD UP HOLLDDDDDDD UP!???

Lem in gay in real life? Did he come out and say that or is that just a rumor? I hope that is a lie, I am so mad if he is pillow biter, heck no!

A frustrated qte

Naw I am sorry to say that Darrin DeWitt Henson is gay. People that have seen him out and about, says he lets it all hang out, just like TC Carson, the guy that played Kyle on Living Single. When he is out and about he lets it all hang out. TC Carson I have seen with my own eyes. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

MAAAAAAAAAAAN TERRI SAID GET YOUR SH*T so calmly. She was on her way to a peaceful moment and Damon want to work SH*T out!! PUH-LEASE!!

I was ROFLMAO when Ahmad got caught and then Max and Kenny takes them to use as reference material.

I am really ticked off at Damon, why did he have to go out like that. Terri was really calm telling him to get his **Stuff**.

------------------
...and like that I'm gone!!
KL

Okay, backing up to last weeks show-

my favorite quote was "That is definitely not my dad. But who ever he is, if he talks to my mom like that again, I'ma jack him up." AHmad. Loved it!

This wweek's- In a nice calm, almost as if she addressing the court matter-of-fact way "Get your sh*t and get out." Teri

Bird lost her damn mind running out and buying that car like that. Not that she should n't be able tospend her money to splurge sometimes but really.

I cannot believe Damon splet with that damn Christine girl. I was expecting her to go running to Teri's doorstep to say I just boned your man, and what? I wonder where they are going to go with that.

Kenny and MAx- too funny. I am glad Kenny is done acting like a straight ass like he has been fot the last few weeks.

I was LMAO @ Ahmad's bravery. His dad taught him right.

I am still LMAO @ Max getting ready to call the police because of the "noises" she heard downstairs.

I was cracking up at Max and Kenny almost getting caught having sex on the BIG BALL.

I couldn't believe my man Damon went out like that. AAAARRRGGHHH!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif

Then when he confessed and said at least he was honest. WTF!?! What did he want a cookie? I loved how Teri kicked him out so calmly.

Lem and Bird... I don't know about them. It's like they can't get in sync.

At least Ahmad was only selling dirty tapes, could've been selling something else.

It will be interestung to see what new twist will develop with FAITH back on the scene. With a cousin like her, you need to stay on your knees praying for her.

I will be interested to see what Terri will be like now with her nemesis back as well as Damon still around sniffing.

OHMYGOSH!
I am impressed with Teri's restraint. Damon is a loser, what a disappointment he has turned out to be.

I think he reacted out of 2 things, maybe 3:
a. lust -- DUH http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif
b. his intimidation of Terri's success in life and him FINALLY getting on the career path
c. guilt about the accident lingers

He is going to have H*LL to pay to get back in even a little of Terri's graces. He betta call Miles.

Hello ladies of Delta Sigma Theta!

Why was I so, so, mad at Damon for do'in my girl Terry like that! She was just starting to let her guard down and he goes and messes up like that!!!!!!! I wanted to cry for her! But, Damon is still fine as *ell!!!!

LAWD, GIRL, YES HE IS!!!

But I cannot believe it either. I mean here is Teri who just got out of a marriage that broke up after she was cheated on. How she must feel after going thorugh that a second time. Although nothing tops seeing them like she did with Faith and Miles.

And Faith...that will be interesting. See that is why you have to watch what you name some kids! Instead of naming her Faith so she would have a lot of it, she ends up being a test of yours!

Good One SOROR!!!

I will have to cut the celebration short tomorrow because I need to see this live tomorrow.
http://www.plaudersmilies.de/nono.gif FAITH girl DON'T EVER BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU!!

I am mad at Damon and what is Bird trying to prove?

HOW COME I was rolling at homegirl knowing the lyrics to that song in the copying machine room?

Elite,
That was sooooooo funny. Did you see the look on ole boy's face, classic!

------------------
Smooches

EXCELLENT EPISODE last night!!
That copying room episode was a parallel in reverse to Damon's situation with his potential client. Meaning just because she is white does not mean she does not listen to rap music and just because he is Black does not mean he wants to go to a "strip club".

Last night's Soul Food showed me clearly that God can and will make your enemies your footstool in the case of Terri and Faith. Faith did not necessarily warrant or deserve Terri's help but she got it.

LAst night's episode is definitely the season twister in a lot of ways, Kenny's possible addiction & Max wanting to be a working woman, etc.

I liked how Damon while thinking he knew the business was taught so much by the rejection of his first potential client. He tried to tell his brother that he was not ready and he most clearly showed us that he was not ready for the business. However, I think now Damon has learned a powerful lesson.

CT4,

I too indeed kaught soul food last night. One of the best ep i seen in a while.

Terri, very strong in this ep, she has kame a long way in developing this character. I believe Terri's Law partners and associates will become threaten by her. What do you guys think? The way they're playing it, they could try to develop a relationship between her and lawyer dude from the law firm.

Bird, Forget Lem and his krazy attitude! That brother is one of the Biggest Hypocrites I have ever since. I see Bird straying away from the nest, if Lem keep that shyt up! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Max & Kenny, she shouldn't try to take over Kenny's life and business. It looks like Kenny and Max are headed for some type of separation.

Lem, (see the Bird comment)

Damon, the delivery guy needs to make up his mind on what he wants to do with his life.

Damon's brother, was it me or did this dude remind you of George Jefferson? LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

Amand, always comical...even though he had a short part this week

Kelli, I'm glad to see she's finally getting some lines! I just hope they don't write her off, like the writers of Family Matter wrote the middle child...LOL

Too funny. But I thought an excellent way to make the point that we are some times quick to stereotype people too. You could see he had it in for her from the moment she showed up. But she sure did play him rapping at him like that (particularly since this all started with him saying she made a comment about you people's music)

Damon- out of control. He had the first round draft pick in the palm of his hands and let him slip away. He made no solid pitch at him at all and never tried to show him what he could offer. He did not once even mention having (or almost having) his MBA, his understanding of contracts, negotiations, having a law firm on retainer to back him, other resources etc. Way to blow it. Hopefully he will let this be a business lesson for him.

Lem and Bird are also OC. Professionally they are both getting it together but they are really butting heads at home. I hope they find a way to get back on the same page. They got through an awful lot of drama to get here. And I hope Lem does not do something crazy like hook Kenny up with some pain pills. He needs to hook him up with a therapist.

I could already see in Max that she was enjoying working. Once Brooke is ready for school I figured that would be inevitable. But after working for a while she seems to really have that desire. Last season she did mention running for political office...

Yes Terry held it down in the court room! Lem should not get those drugs for Kenny.....I can't believe Kenny asked him http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif Kenny should know better! Damon and Terry need to get back together. They balanced each other well. I think if Terry was still there Damon might of handled the negotation a little diffrently! But what can you do.......Max killed me when she said that they should fire the current secretary so that she could take her place! I was like WHOA.....slow down....Not because she would not do a good job but because sometimes even if people are married they should not be working together. And the way that Kenny is as a manager that would kill the marriage real quick.
