cannot wait for betty to expel piccolo
iâm still enjoying this show but the longer it goes on the more the only part of it that truly surprises me is, like, remembering it had an entire first season where any one of jughead stalked by hookhanded killer / boy scout D&D forest cult / betty discovers an organ harvesting clinic / archie bare knuckle fights his exâs 40yo dad would would have seemed incredibly outre. like, what were those early episodes even about? high school or something?
I liked that they went all out on the graveyard lighting at the end of this ep. maybe they shouldnât have buried Jason in the pet sematary.

I still need to watch past the first episode but is the series predominantly from the perspectives of Betty and Veronica? It was an interesting take on the Archie world and it seemed neat.
CW really does make the best live action anime and I kind of wish theyâd somehow follow a similar rate of show replacements, since almost every show Iâve seen from them slowly peters out after constant season renewals rather than getting graceful ends (granted thatâs still a rarity in anime too!). But it would be cool to see them keep making new things because theyâve got a good track record on the first couple of seasons of new shows.
(East asian dramas are probably a better analog but CW manages to pull off more fantastic subject matter like super heroes and magic better than most of those tend to.)
No, but they do have plenty of agency of their own so theyâre not just Love Interests
huh the katy keene show is getting itâs own seperate ginger lopez from the ginger lopez who was on riverdale
itâs not like ginger was a major riverdale character or anything but just interesting to see them pull a smallville which had two jimmy olsens, two cat grants, etc
ahahahaha
that last episode actually managed to tie this trash fire together semi-coherently and in an entertaining way. feels like they thought of the ending first and spent hours trying to distract with red herrings. episode is a lot more fun to think about afterwards than in the moment maybe. i guess they werenât ready to deal with luke perry yet which is fair enough after how absurdly heavy everything else is. iâd wager they just brought in molly ringwald to do what his role would have been. just good chaotic energy i appreciate it after this season
i do love that they go out of their way to justify aliceâs weird character swings and cult membership as good and heroic and that by comparison kevinâŚâŚjust kind of sucks i guess!! rip to all the kevinheads presumably out there.
the flashfoward punchline at the end was like the perfect gag the entire rest of the season has been building up towards, and maybe would have been the ideal place to end the show in general?? i mean i enjoy it but i almost donât want to watch them work out how to escape from that narrative hole.
i kind of wish theyâd left the black hood alive after betty shot his OTHER hand. the buster bluth of serial killers.
EDIT: also the joke where everytime somebody walked in on kevin and fangs they were doing something comically nonsexual and innocuous, like standing three feet apart bouncing a tennis ball back and forth or something, honestly never got old

I thought it bottomed out pretty bad around episode 7 or so but I thought the same thing of season 2, itâs a problem with their pacing more than anything else, and it does recover imo
Okay season three was bonkers
I lolâd when they tried to get in on that Daredevil hallway fight action
the cabot twins are here and so is pepper from itâs josie but where is sebastian the cat
âBrett Weston Wallaceâ
aha the actors are getting so old
cannot get enough
I really wonder if one of the sex scenes isnât like, shot-for-shot from a bioware game
i shouldnât be surprised after every ridiculous thing that has happened but i honestly canât believe the trailer seems to be implying a pureheart the powerful arc

is it me or is jughead marginally less ripped this season
that episode was incredibly bad though
it was like, all of the heavy handed sentimentality with none of the slightly deranged tone that normally carries it
I appreciate that they bumped the rest of the season by an episode to do this when Luke Perry passed but I donât think it exactly does justice to him, Iâm almost confused that their writers produced it even if they were trying to do something straightforwardly emotional
how do mad dogâs abs look like that
I liked bettyâs line about âno more heart-to-hearts in front of the lockersâ functioning as like a coded retcon that yes these characters have still actually been regularly attending highschool all this time, rather than as a palette cleanser between murder mysteries.
