Being Mary Jane season finale *spoilers*

[summer]

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

PEOPLE!!! I need someone to get over here and pick me up off of the floor!!! They got Niecy!!! I was about to punch my TV!

[sfy]

I'm still watching (and based on this thread, I'm not even clear that I'm actually watching the finale lol...my DVR for some reason recorded 10 episodes of BMJ and none are labeled, but this is the episode after Patrick's intervention) but wtf at this panel? They are really advocating for CeCe? She's a fucking blackmailer!

Keep watching!

I had to break so I'm still on the same episode, which clearly isn't the finale and I feel like it's going to take me forever to figure out what the finale is, but can I just say John really gets on my nerves? Ugh.

Also from the (perhaps annoying to me) panel: do you guys agree that Kara puts her career before her children?

[summer]

I think there was the episode that ended with the intervention, then another episode, then the finale?

Yes, I just saw the commercial for the finale in this episode! I don't think I'm ready!

[sfy]

Was I the only one excited when I thought I was going to get a source for "Save the drama for your mama?"

So mad watching MJ help CeCe. I'm glad I already saw the preview that she ends up in handcuffs. Asshole.

And yes, the audacity of David's mother. Crazy.

[summer]

You need to get to the end and come back!

Lol I know. I'm trying! I had to stop again, too. I'm not feeling Marisol either. No don't know why I'm so anti-everyone against Kara, because I'm not especially pro Kara.

Another thing, I don't know why MJ hired the mouthy college kid. She gets on my nerves, too.

[sfy]

summer, how can I stop when David's ass had the nerve to bring his 5 minute old family up in the sandwich place?? *pulls hair*

*heavy sigh*. BMJ is so good.

Scusi? This harlot Marisol still filed a complaint after she blackmailed her way on the show?? Rage.

[sfy]

I'm all done. Poor Niecy . Poor nephew whose name now escapes me. That was awful.

On the bright side, yessssss! CeCe, rot your community leader ass in jail! I didn't see that set up coming . I also appreciate the Omari Hardwick flashbacks .

[summer]

I like Kara because she will always be Magdalena from I Like It Like That to me!




I love a good read, so I was here for her "how did you get here" speech to John, even though she was wrong for it because he is the one at home doing all the stuff with the kids while she is working. 

What is going to happen to poor Papa Bear when PJ gets got for his shenanigans in LA?

Where is Patrick? 

I am sooooo tired of David. Let him go. I still don't know why he was mad at her? Because she didn't stick with him long enough when she thought he didn't have money? Um, how about when I'm supporting us, you let me know that you have funds out back you can kick in instead of "testing" me on whether I'm down for whatever? 

Loretta Devine is Divine. 

I love how BMJ is now picking up some Asians in the cast. Doing the diversity thing for all of Hollywood. I would like Hollywood to take note of this. 

When they said they were going to get the taser on Niecy for some loud music with the babies in the car, I about fell out. I was shaking mad like she was in my family.

To point one: It was like hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and marshmallows, plus chocolate shavings on a cold day. Most excellent. She was wrong, but he is so annoying.

Point two: All I think about is what P.J.'s fall is going to do to Paul. Lord, have mercy.

Point three: Agreed. It's basically the most diverse show airing right now, and it doesn't feel forced.

The whole David thing never was clear to me but if he had family money, why didn't MJ know that after 70-leven years of dating him? Basically, I want him to take his entitled baldheaded ass on. 

GIRL, when they got CeCe and she said, "tip my hat" I was howling. 

Niecy makes my heart hurt because she is so lost and everyone is always so mean to her. I mean, hell, the babies is HERE now, shit. Stop punishing her and talking to her like she doesn't have sense. I have neverrrr forgotten that time she told MJ that sex was her "talent." 

Did David have family money? I didn't know that, but I still see why it wouldn't factor in--that's not as attractive as him being "self-made." Lol @ entitled bald-headed ass!

I don't think they're mean to Niecy. Niecy has it very good and it's time for her to stop making stupid decisions. She's a grown woman with two children, who have two basically absent fathers. She wants a pat on the back for working part time at the mall, when like the cheap girl told her, she should be doing hair instead. Now, she has a free car and still hasn't paid a bill ever, while she's spending her check up with her fellow mallrats instead of saving for a move. Niecy should never open her mouth to complain, as far as I can see. Oh, except I do understand why she's so hurt by Patrick's relationship with Deja. But that's just real life. Almost everyone is a better parent at 40 than at 20, and when you factor addiction v. sobriety into it, it's a no-brainer.

I can't wait for Patrick to get himself together and date this principal.

That's what he told her in the ep, basically that he came from money but he was trying to start his own thing without their help and MJ should have supported him in that effort. And I'm saying, if he had family money and affluent parents and he and MJ dated all those years, and were going to get married and all this, why didn't she know that? It's a plot hole that has bothered me since he said it. LOL

I want Patrick with the principal, too. I love how honest he was with her up front. That, to me, said he was a better man than his parents believe him to be (aside from how he takes care of Deja).

I have a soft spot in my heart for Niecy since she said her one skill and talent was sex. I mean...wow. I want her to win. 

I don't love or hate Kara but I don't want her to lose her job. She has too many people depending on her. Kara shouldn't have hazed Marisol, but damn. 

Oh lol. Like why would he have had to tell her, when she should have known? I see.

Patrick is not a bad guy, but like his daughter, he loves to make a bad decision. I do think he'd be good to the principal (and vice versa) if he just gets it together.

That is sad. I want her to win, too, but I think part of why she keeps losing is her refusal to be accountable and because she is entitled. Once she fixes that, she will be good to go. I guess everything can't be fixed or where's our drama?

No ma'am. That was not a hazing! It was so meh I don't even know what to call it. It was just talking a little shit on a random weekday lol. Kara was wrong...ish, but Marisol is the worst. I can't stand these blackmailing trollops. But, we saw what happened to CeCe (although I hate seeing Loretta Devine go, I love that CeCe will rot), and I only hope karma will be as good when it comes to Ms. Marisol, the unfiery Latina. Ugh.

I feel like I need to give this show another chance. I abandoned it after the first season.

@kirkette, I think you can see it on Netflix, or at least it was at one point in time.

That was my go to for Season 1 and Season 2. I need to take a look and see if Season 3 is streaming. Thanks!

Not free, but not too  bad a price, you can buy the season on Amazon for $11.99

Please do. I liked season one just fine, but I love the show now .

@kirkette, that's exactly how I was. She dressed John's ass down . He couldn't do anything but get a drink.

[summer]

Season 1 was ok. Season 2 got better towards the end. Season 3 is great because it just seems to have more depth and reflection. And there are a lot of issues. Race continues to be the focus, but there is gender, and mental illness, and family issues, and selling out, and police harassment, and it just is starting to go deeper than MJ's boyfriends. And I can't say enough about the cast. So many people who I'm glad to see getting work because it was long overdue.

[summer]

And I loved the 16 Candles nod (2-ish weeks ago) with everyone forgetting MJ's birthday, then her and Mark sitting on the table in the window. Like the fact that this "Black" show referenced such a beloved and completely White movie was cool to me.

I mean, I was expecting some drama. But no one expects something like that right there!
That's why I love this show!

I know. It was so sad, but so necessary . This is such a good season. I'm excited for you to see it all .

[summer]

Gabby was fantastic in that funeral episode. I cried so hard.

[summer]

Was the bedwetting problem due to all the alcohol?

I don't think so. I think it was kind of what she was saying to Kara about her life before the accident. She just wasn't in a good place emotionally and the accident set her on the path to turn things around. I wish they would address it.

One thing that never sat right with me was her taking her check back from the fake NAACP. I just did not like that, and even though she often does things I wouldn't or do like, I can understand them. Not that.

AND WHO SHOWS UP AT A FUNERAL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD TO STAY YO ASS AWAY FROM WHEN YOU KNOW YOUSE A DIRTY PEDO?

He was cruising for a bruising. And he got it. And I loved it lol.

[summer]

If you, for whatever reason, are not strong enough to tell your pedo husband that he can't come to your daughter's funeral, then YOU SHOULDN'T GO EITHER! Do the bare damned minimum. Walk up into her funeral with the man who abused her. I was MAD.

[sfy]

That was a good review, @kirkette! I never thought about the potential of Niecy suing, but that would be a much needed windfall for the family. I do not know if I can ever see Patrick giving up his rights to Deja, though--he is too stubborn! Wasn't that Kara/John thing just delicious lol? I'm glad you finished !

[summer]

If I read correctly we don't yet now if BET will pick up season 4. I will be mad if I don't somehow get a season 4!

[borinquen57]

I started watching last season and this show is GREAT!!! I love, love, love Loretta Devine in pretty much everything, and this was no exception. I'm excited for S4 and seeing how it all goes down.

I thought that traffic stop was going to be about her stealing something from her girl's store.  I really didn't think it'd go down like this.
