Now, here we are. Full circle. Franklin turned to the bottle and became the person he didn’t want to turn out like in Alton. And has the mindset that he’s free of chains and is free from it all. His own man just like Alton mentioned for his own situation as a hobo.
Bruh thank you for this🙏🏾I've been trying to find a page that doesn't just review the seasons/episodes but actually stops to breakdown the themes and peel back the layers of each character and just what exactly makes them tick. Can't wait to see what other Snowfall content you drop, keep up the good work!
I really appreciated how you broke down the straps on Franklin's right and left shoulders, regarding his backpack. I also noticed that by having a greenback, it probably serves as a symbol of the color of money. Furthermore, it's a prelude to all of the stress and strife that comes with all of the blood money in further seasons to come.
I think one things that’s overlooked a lot is the blue ragtop bug in the opening scene. I’d like to think it’s singletons way of paying tribute to boyz in the hood. In a way, Franklin, Leon, and Kevin are like the trio of Trey, Doughboy, and Rocky.
Great Analysis!!! AND 19:58 - The Rubicon also means a line that once crossed, that can never be traversed again.......once you go this far.....there's no coming back..... A point of no return.....Which is also exemplified in the episode.
The Rubicon is what Julius Caesar crossed when he became emperor. It also pitted him against the Roman Senate and led to his death. It is probably foreshadowing for what is in store for Franklin. He becomes the guy, but ultimately dies because of his quest for power.
I recently rewatched this season a few days after watching Boyz N The Hood and I noticed something that couldn't have been a coincidence. During the opening scene of the pilot episode, I noticed "Trey's" car parked on the street while the kids are running...superb easter egg John. R.I.P
I think how the intro changes every Episode is great especially in the 3 season where you can see the hood peacefull and after 3 or 4 episodes you see 1 police car and the final episode of season 3 the hood is on fire in the night with all the polices that is genius
Excellent work 👍 Another thing I noticed (maybe I'm overreaching) is Franklin's clothes especially his shirts/tops; When we first meet him he's wearing an Orange like shirt meaning he's a warm/joyful guy when he wears Blue he's calm, caring and reasonable (meetings with Jerome, Ray Ray, attending to Leon's gunshot wound) when he wears Red he's hot headed (meeting with his dad, the fight with Leon) and by the last episode (with ice cream truck guy) he's wearing White meaning he's like elevated to "god" level.
Yooo I’m so glad I found this channel. I always noticed how much attention to detail they put into this show, but with this I realized how much shit flew over my head. Luv the content 🦾🦾
The Scene Where Franklin Goes To See Leon After Getting Shot In The Projects Is A Very Key Moment To The Show As Well Bc Leon Didn’t Get Shot Until After He Had His FallOut With Franklin Very Similarly To The Situation In Season 4 With Skully, Except Skully Missed As Lenny Didn’t, Shows How Leon Can Make Decisions Off Anger, Emotion, & The Main Thing That Scene Highlights Is How They Both See Things The Other One Doesn’t Franklin Believed RayRay & Lenny Were Together When Leon Was Shot & Leon Even Tells Him, “How You Gone Tell Me I Was There?” Franklin’s Problem Is Sometimes He Can Be Thinking So Far Ahead Visualizing Things In Beyond Him That He Loses Sight Of What’s In Front Of Him All While Leon Sees Mostly Everything In Front Of Him But Doesn’t See What’s Beyond Him As He’s Only Been Outside LA Twice In His Life The Desert For Karvel & Oakland With Franklin, As Long As He’s Been In LA We Also Saw The First Time He’s Been To The Beach Before With Kevin & Saint After Watching Scarface.

Very impressive. I mean this was brilliantly done my brotha. The ability to understand the true meaning of all things on the surface and behind it is a rare gift. Some ppl can watch every season 3 times over and not get everything you pointed out. Much appreciated. Now I’m about to start on S1 E1 all over again right now. #Salute
@@JamaalNoland Man you’re welcome for sure. This actually made me think about how valuable it is to look deeper into all things. Business-wise, health, personal, financial etc… there’s always more to uncover and understand that can benefit us if we know how to look for it. So I got more out of your analysis than I was even looking for.
Season one is linked to season 5 and it's the 1st time season 1 is relevant..!!! Remember Kevin didn't make it the season 2 and his brother is now here in season 5 Kevin was gonna get killed anyway because because he smoked the rock. So he was going to be a basehead
Awesome show and great breakdown. Will have to rewatch it soon. Cant understand what happened for the show and the actress that plays Lucia to not continue to have her on anymore. She was so good in the early seasons
Some plot holes in this video… I wanted to understand more on teddy’s interests in the game, the club owner’s relationship with Jerome’s girl and Alejandro’s mysterious behavior
I'm going to look into this because where I get my downloads from it has two pilots if indeed this exist for me to watch I am 1000% doing a video on it
@@buckfidencoincidencetheori7200 yeah look it up, she had to leave because she became pregnant with Nipsey Son and Jill Scott was cast as Sissy Saint too as well
He could pay ppl to do stuff but a ‘leader’ 🤔 he couldn’t make Leon turn the radio down and he couldn’t make the boy give the money back and he couldn’t make Louie them invest and…
I feel like now the show is mainly focused on Franklin. I have no issues with that, but I like shows that link a bunch of random people together. I still want to see oso's family and personal life.
Trojan Mother!! The reason no one in the "Family" was hurt is because Ceecee is in with Leon to stop the drug game! This is why she paid a special visit to Leon's house. Three there were three drive by, no one in the family was 🎯 hit ! Tells you something???
I definitely think Leon is involved. When he was running down the street chasing the car with the shooters, as bullets were flying, I questioned his rationale. But now I realize he probably did it knowing he was safe
That was like a hypothetical episode or like a multiverse type deal. Where what if Franklin went to college? And what changes would have occurred at home. It was him dreaming while recovering from being shot
@@JamaalNoland Apparently when your so sick, you actually dream heavily. Learned that in a book called Monster Codie and Tupac spoke of the same experience. It’s part of the PTSD and anxiety.
@@JamaalNoland That’s the ugly part most don’t talk about. Our brain is amazing, in the dream world we are truly there, sometimes people can see on the outside when we are that active.

Episode 1 they highlighted how alive the neighborhood was. People outside cooking, kids playing, ice cream man.. life before the crack epidemic
I remember this lifestyle in the early 90s👌 what a time to be a live
Very true

@F U Mr. Funny man yup it was full motion still made the best of it tho just blurred out all that In the mist of living.

Aunt Louie was always eavesdropping. She always wanted more. She was sneaky as hell. I dont see how Franklin overlooked that.
Jerome seen what happened before and tried to warn both of them.
Because Franklin is the same way. That's why he couldn't see it in her and he couldn't see it in himself.
@LEAVEMEALONEMUSIC you know what they say about family and business

The Scene Where Franklin Goes To See Leon After Getting Shot In The Projects Is A Very Key Moment To The Show As Well
Bc Leon Didn’t Get Shot Until After He Had His FallOut With Franklin Very Similarly To The Situation In Season 4 With Skully, Except Skully Missed As Lenny Didn’t,
Shows How Leon Can Make Decisions Off Anger, Emotion, & The Main Thing That Scene Highlights Is How They Both See Things The Other One Doesn’t
Franklin Believed RayRay & Lenny Were Together When Leon Was Shot & Leon Even Tells Him, “How You Gone Tell Me I Was There?”
Franklin’s Problem Is Sometimes He Can Be Thinking So Far Ahead Visualizing Things In Beyond Him That He Loses Sight Of What’s In Front Of Him All While Leon Sees Mostly Everything In Front Of Him But Doesn’t See What’s Beyond Him As He’s Only Been Outside LA Twice In His Life
The Desert For Karvel & Oakland With Franklin,

Oh yeah absolutely I might do it again myself
Yo i really needed this recap cuz I didnt wanna go thru the whole season again
Lol Glad to help
Grind young man grind
Awesome show and great breakdown. Will have to rewatch it soon. Cant understand what happened for the show and the actress that plays Lucia to not continue to have her on anymore. She was so good in the early seasons

Salute bro !!! I'm going to make it with strong support like this

Fd up that he shot his white buddy he didn't need to die just needed a lil help.
I agree but dude was a weak link and they all had too much to lose so he had to cut off all loose ends.
he knew too much & already told too much
