I'm tried of the "zero to 100" story lines

Even if a few months have passes by as far as time frame goes, it is so silly how they keep rushing storylines. Hakeem has been on the brink of being married, to in love with Tianna again (out of nowhere), to him wanting to make the new singer lady his girl (out of nowhere once again). Then there's Andre....wow his life is a mess. He was married to his wife, then mourning her death, next his crazy ass is banging and in love with the new singer chick (along with the ghost of his dead wife). I'm not even about to get started on Jamal and all his trials and escapades.

Yeah, they're really all over the place. Characters just pops up out of no where and then characters not heard of no more. It's like they undermine the fans intelligence and attention span. They don't know how to get a good story line and stick with it. They like to grab a bunch of good story lines and touch on them and toss them.

Even Cooke has been in love about 4 times in less than three seasons.

How has Cookie been in love 4 times????? Until last night, Lucious was the ONLY man she ever loved. Malcolm was a fling (she was hurt bye Lucious and wanted to get her some). She was trying to have something with Laz until she found out his true intentions for being with her. This new relationship with Angelo is her FIRST real relationship since Lucious.

What I'm tired of is the dropped storylines.

Did Hakeem forget about Laura that quickly?
Where's Lucious's mama?
Speaking of Lucious's mama, what happened to the storyline about her making Anika's life a living hell?
As many of you have asked, why didn't Rhonda at least have a funeral? She may not have been the favorite member of the family, but she was still part of the family!

There's a few other dropped/forgotten storylines in the series, but I honestly can't think of them all right this moment.

Love,

You are spot on with all these.

Lucious' Mother is stilll there. So I guess folks people want them to discuss EVERY storyline every week. lol
The show is telling a story and I suggest you guys keep up. lol

[–] Notzi81 8 years ago

It's not that she has to be discussed every week, but when she just disappears completely, and they set up this feud between her and Anika and don't follow through with it, it's a bit of a let down. She hasn't made an appearance in the last three of four episodes, nor has she been mentioned.

I'm keeping up...the storylines not very good now.

[–] Notzi81 8 years ago

I liked the hacking storyline. I just wish they'd stop dropping other storylines and basically finish what they start.

Love,
