kelly rowland being alive is totally disingenuous

because lucious is triggered in real-time to his memories of kelly rowland about to shoot herself in the head, even goes into the studio and adds in some gun cock sound effects, is all sweaty and teary eyed and what not.

and we saw from earlier flashbacks him burying her bullets so we know it was something she did all the time. so why is THAT moment so triggering for him if nothing happened?

because this show went from edgy drama to cartoon soap opera!

His reaction was obviously a show and an attempt by luscious to try and gain sympathy for himself and promote his new song. It's nothing new luscious is a master manipulator who basically feels nothing.

HM I'll have to go back and look at those scenes because, IMO, when the character is ALONE and reacts that way, then the audience should be able to take that as the character's truth.

and if that turns out to be a lie, then it is the writers who are being disingenuous to the audience, which is the impression i got from this crazy story arc.
