Soul Food -- Season Two

[kiml122]

I also was trippin off the character that Baybface was playing. That twist at the end was very deep.

Now to move on to the hair, I was not, and will never feel the way Babyface is wearing his hair. When he was dancing at the club and a strand fell down, I didn't like that at all.

Now I am one of the people that thinks Boris Kodjoe aka "Damon" is fine, but after seeing him with that bald head I can't see it. I am usally into men with bald heads, especially a nice chocolate brotha (yeah I went there ). But Damon's head just looks like a GIANT lightbulb with no hair. It's like he had a totally different look to me with no hair. Lem also threw me off with having his hair braided. Have you noticed that all the men have gone through something with there hair this season. Kenny now has hiar, Lem has more hair and now it's braided, and Damon with this bald head. Lawd only knows what will be next.

Ok,ok I am going to end this long ass post, but the preview for next week looks really good

Last night's episode was intense. I am still sitting shocked at Lem's resignation but I really do not blame him. He had good ideas and was actually committed to turning the store around. I understand Terri andMax's points of view, however, Lem was using good business sense. I believe that Lem has the store's best interest at heart and by Terri and Max questioning him, it shows their lack of trust in Lem. He's family but he is NOT FAMILY.

Terri's attacks are really getting serious. I am glad that Brian was there for her. It's not just her job that is getting to her but Damon, insecurities with men, etc.

I was tooo through with William especially him and old girl having TOPLESS shampoos .

This was a really pivotal episode tonight. I am really looking forward to next week's episode.

I agree. Last night's episode was intense. I don't blame Lem either. Who wants to put up with the pressure, but like Teri said it's part of his duty as store manager. At least Lem, could have apologized for spending the money without consulting the sisters. That's the only problem I saw.

Now and William his "after hours appointments" was just straight nasty.

I forgot to add, if I were Lem, made a $15,000 profit, and Teri wanted to double check my work, I would have let her. Lem doesn't have business/store experience that we know of, so if he didn't have anything to hide, check them. That way if he was correct, then that would a) prove Teri wrong and b) reinforce to Bird that he can take care of business and be a positive man.

Teri and the panic attacks- straight out of control. She needs to sit her ego aside and get some help. All she needs is for one to hit while she is driving and she WILL be in a hospital.

Damon and Christine- Can he get rid of her already? Like she said, "you don't want her to think we are still sleeping together even though we are" WTF?? How can he even think he should be getting back with Teri if he is still doing exactly what broke them up in the first place. I cringed when Teri said (in a past episode) that her first husband (who I don't think we know anything about) cheated on her, her second husband cheated on her and now Damon. YIKES!

Lem and the fam- they were ridiculous. Teri and Max had to attack him like a bunch of greedy behinds. Kenny is no more an owner of the store than Lem but they didn't stop to point that out in the vote. I think Lem went too far quitting and I do think they could have at least acknowledged that he had made a sound business decision even if he failed to consult them. You would have thought he had embezzled the money the way they acted. I did like Bird's analogy as far ask the car and asking about how money should be spent.

And I think Brian and Teri are awfully close...I have sworn he had a little crush on her or something since Greene Norris...

I also sense CHEMISTRY between Terri and Brian. He is a cute white man and trust me that is a compliment

I agree that Lem should have taken Terri up on her offer but at the same time, I understand his wariness and defensive attitude. Terri still sees Lem as a criminal and treats him as one. I was sensing that their relationship would probably take a turn for the better but Terri is still leary of Lem.


I admire Lem because he is trying to be a family man and follow in Kenny's shoes so I know that it hurt him to know that Kenny sided with the sisters.


Now them panic attacks are serious. There are a number of possible reasons for them:
a. Guilt about the accident
b. Pressures from not making partner/feeling betrayed
c. Return of Ex #1
d. Doing EVERYTHING for her family after the accident
e. DAMON
f. Residual life stuff from childhood as far as being the oldest, smartest, most successful
g. Still grieving from her mother's death (she is the only one who has not been comforterd by Mother Joe since she died)

Terri is the ROCK of the family and she needs to pass on some of the responsibility to Max and Bird.

I also thought there was a little more than friendship between Brian and Terry. Maybe something will come of their friendship. He seems to be the only one that is sticking by her.

I believe she is having those panic attacks because she can't control everything. Usually she has an attack when she feels that she has lost control of a situation. But she is one bossy sister.

I wish Lem hadn't quit, but I understand why he did. I couldn't work with them questioning every move I made either. Terry just wants to be in control of everything. That is why she tried to get him to sign that contract. Max is just trippin' because she lost that money in that investment scheme. She saw that extra money as her ticket to get into somenthing else. I just believe she is bored with just being a wife and mother.

What did you all think of the situation Kenny put himself into. I know he could tell that his secretary REALLY liked him. And he still went to the game with her. AND HE KNOW MAX IS CRAZY!!

Keep that man away from Terri! The longest relationship he has had is 3 weeks people! Damon and her need to grow up and forgive one another! But the show is getting real intense and I understand why Lem Quit! To much pressure from the family but he also should have remembred it is a FAMILY business that means everyone in the family needs to contribute!

So Terry split the vote after all. I believe part of why she didn't win is because of the "Vouchers For America" situation , but she did kinda just throw together a campaign in a short amount of time.

I noticed they've never shown an episode with Kenny explaining that his secretary quit, or why she quit.

[CrimsonTide4]

I wish Maxine would have won because Alderman Davis worked my ever last nerve. I really liked that episode. I was getting ready to kick Kenny but he finally saw the light.

OOO but Ahmad not that he is at fault but don't you know not to tell non Black people that you can't afford stuff.

Anyway I am sure Lila will come back in a future episode with Kenny.

[tickledpink]

OOO but Ahmad not that he is at fault but don't you know not to tell non Black people that you can't afford stuff.

Girl, you know that's a product of him not having to actually experience that, with rich "Aunt Terri" and all. My mother would have beat me to a pulp.

Did you catch when Alderman threw up the "sorority sisters" thing at Terri? I was trying to catch a hint at which sorority, but they didn't say. Plus, at one time, I thought Bird's hairdresser was scheming on something because she too mentioned "I'll give them out at my sorority meeting". I wouldn't be surprised if she and the alderman are sorors. When she showed Bird the flyers in the garbage, I thought she'd thrown the ones she'd just gotten from her in the trash to make it look like Max had no support, but they never followed up on that one either.

I don't think this was the season finale.

This is the summary of this week's upcoming episode:
Fly Away Home", Episode #33.
Lem and Bird's marriage suffers; Teri forces her family away from Damon.

[Mz. Sports Luva]

Thanks CT4, I was just a little confused.

[sphinxpoet]

I told ya Kenny would come aroune ! But that child of his Amahed should have gotten the you know what out of him! That boy needs to stop thinking about himself. But what can you say! We all make mistakes as kids. It is time for Damon to make his big power play back into Terri's life. I think this episode is a big turining point!

I can understand how Terri feels on one level. It's not like she was married to or even engaged to Damon. Her family should respect her feelings. Now on the other hand, this is why it's not always healthy to build relationships between children and the new "uncle", feel me? It's not easy for them to break that bond.

The way it's always been in my family is if you dog out one of us, you were basically out of the picture with the family as well.
