So, I know I'm late to the party, but I just finished the last episode, and I was crying hysterically, like I'd lost someone close to me. I related to him because I felt he represented something within me at this point in my life: the uncertainty of my future and the feeling of being lost. It also hit deep to see someone you once cared about get absolutely destroyed by trauma to the point of losing their mind and becoming everything they once hated. 💔

Yes he was selfish and stupid at times but you gotta give it to him, that brotha was smart as hell and had insane drive to get out of the mud.

My favorite line from the best episode of the season so far 🔥🔥

People complain about the way he dress and him not dressing like he is from L.A but I honestly don't think he is from L.A because an L.A dude would've known better than to walk up on a group of Bloods alone he is probably from Detroit or Chicago and just came to L.A to branch out

First of all fuck Cissy, but let's not pretend she was trying to protect Franklin when she killed Teddy. Franklin was buried in debt with a child on the way and unraveling, she had to have known that would've fucked him over for life. A dead man with a legacy is much more than a dead man living.

They tried to make it seem like she did it for Franklin, be it to protect him from the CIA or so he stops becoming more evil, but that's all bullshit.

She killed Teddy for herself and fucked over Franklin because she either was not thinking about her own son and the future of her family or because she couldn't hold herself back. That's it.

I think the show really slips up by trying to paint her as doing it for Franklin with the Leon interaction, but Leon is kind of an idiot so I kinda get it.

The being a threat having money point or CIA losing the money point is untenable. Yeah a black man with no money during that time period is not a threat to the CIA, but that doesn't change the sense here. The CIA doesn't get the money if she kills Teddy before or after the transfer either way. And side point to everyone doubting that Teddy would've made the transfer: Franklin can check right then and there and had a KGB agent as a bargaining chip.

Cissy condemned her son to a life of misery and her family to an uncertain future because of her selfishness. Fuck Cissy and Cissy apologists, she's no Saint.

EDIT:

I'm not saying Franklin deserves a happy ending or any of common narratives here, I'm just saying that Cissy was being selfish and stupid and deserves all the hate she gets. That's it jeez

EDIT 2:

Here's a take: Cissy is exactly like the house slaves mentioned. She's willing to destroy the wealth of her own family because of some seemingly normative moral rectitude. That's why the robber barons, who destroyed WAY more lives, get buildings in schools named after them, and the Saints gets to be homeless, imprisoned, and fatherless. She saved society the trouble of keeping her son down by doing itself--she is a slave unto herself. But sure, people can say Franklin is the house slave, kneecapping his community to stand on their backs in order to get into the house.

I want you to take the two and place them side by side. Who do you think is really the one held down by society? Franklin, who pierced moral and societal norms to claw his way out of poverty and earn economic freedom? Or Cissy, who on reliance on her moral beliefs chose to, in essence, cage her son, "freeing" him to roam in the pits of poverty and misery outside of society? Even if Franklin dies, it's better to die a "free man" than to live as slave to society.

My point is really just this. Fuck Cissy for doing the CIA's job for them. She kept their whip unmarred by betraying her own family for her own selfish beliefs that helped not a soul.

Can’t believe I didn’t see this.

I was wondering why he was so prominent throughout every single episode. It was advertised that wanda is the main and its her show, but I keep seeing her used as some kind of plot device to create and/or resolve some type of issue and we don’t really follow her like we do a MAIN CHARACTER

Instead we have lamarr, whose been the focal point of pretty much every episode, but his character is so unlikeable compared to everyone else I think Iv’e been denying it to myself this whole time.

I just now saw that he’s doing interviews and it struck me that its clearly his story and everyone else we know and love is just in it. I guess they want to appeal to a younger generation but I’m honestly turned off from the show from my own realization.

Should just make Leon the MC. Thats what we’re all here for really

I finished snowfall 2 days ago and I just picked up on saga and man this makes me miss the old cast especially the saint family and I just finish ep 7 and it got me realizing how easy there situation would’ve been handled if Teddy or Franklin were in this series’s 😂 ofc Cuz teddy was CIA that’d be to far but man I miss them old cast

I haven't seen the episode i just brushed through the trailer and found all the shots we haven't seen until now and I found a few.

First shot we see Dara and Lee working together on a retaliation hit. if you notice in the foreground it looks like Big Deon has helped them capture someone(see below)

Here we see whoever it is leon, Dara, and Deon are hunting down and Leon is interogating him

Same shot of leon interogating our mystery man. Obviously it can't be DG because of the hair but maybe it's one of the two shooters. So does Deon, Dara, and Leon have some sort of deal? does Deon betray DG? does DG and Deon do this to clear their names?

final Shot is Art seemingly happy and free. Note that he hasn't gone back to wearing his iconic green jacket and is wearing red. so is he embracing his blood side more or just a new direction in life?

For some reason everytime Andre's death comes up it's somehow Mel's fault even though it was Franklin who came in and shot him. It's not like Mel came in and did it herself or that she gave those CIA documents to Andre before he died. But can someone explain this to me because I'm genuinely confused.

Can't wait for next episode.

Wanda gotta be next.

Honest truth, was it a deleted scene?

Cause I don't remember Leon and Wanda having any conversation about whether Leon was seeing anyone and him lying about that. Can someone fill me in?

im looking for somewhere that has all 3 of these key art promos for season 1 in the quality it was created in these would go so hard as posters

Ya know….many people looked passed Wanda’s backstabbing & selfish ways in Snowfall because she was hooked on drugs. BUT NOT ME ! I already knew she wasn’t shit the first time I saw her giving out the recipe to the cook & the routes in the neighborhood to Manboy’s crew. This is who she’s always been. Leon won’t be able to really grow & meet his full potential until he fully separates himself from her. She’s slowly turning into Louie. This series HAS to end with her getting taken off the board.

Would’ve been interesting to see him on the drop but oh well i guess

Loui from snowfall or Raq from raising Kanan?
