Really liked the first two episodes. Really didn't like the third because what the gently caress was that slut shaming plotline?

All in all I'm gonna continue watching going forward.

And I've never read an Archie comic and never will.

Well that was a lot better than last week.

Though I'm not sure what the show's long term plans are considering they're blowing right through plotlines really quickly. But I guess the comics gone on for a million years so they have a lot of inspiration.

I was kind of rolling my eyes over Jughead's impassioned pleas about how the Drive In was like his home so the twist of it actually literally being his home was pretty slick.

I never figured Id be at a point in my life where I'd be worried about Archie spoilers yet here I am.

I loved Veronica's line about "the Gothic Horror that is Cheryl's life"

Polly demonically possessed Betty and through her murdered Jason. Betty is unaware of what happened. Their dad is aware of Polly's psychic powers and Betty's involvement and is doing whatever he can to cover it all up.

Prove me wrong.

My 8th grade Spanish teacher was Reese Witherspoon's then 25 year old cousin and trust me, the resemblance ran in the family.

No lurid sex scandals ever came out of that though.

Will we ever see Jughead eating pie and coffee in Pop's?

How about a hamburger? He mentioned working things out with Archie over a ton of hamburgers back at the end of the second episode but still no hamburgers.

Oh God, Polly is somewhere even worse than a mental hospital; they sent her to a Catholic School. :gonk:

EDIT: Christ, these people are monstrous. This is somehow more unsettling than actual horror shows because this seems like something a control-freak patent could and would actually do to their daughter.

Rich families did this poo poo, and worse, to their 'unruly' daughters all the time back in the day.

How does that work? Didn't Betty have an intense secret crush on Archie before the show started?

She hit it and quit it.

I recall reading that the producers explained the decision to write her out was made after focus grouping the pilot but before going to series, but I can't find a source.

Apparently the worlds first good focus group.

In the Archie universe the high school cheerleading squad is a thinly veiled pole dancing club.

This is the most loving confusing show on television in so many ways.
