I watched through these episodes, because this recap-podcast by General Ironicus and his wife. That podcast is really great and I suggest you to follow it.

Who the hell would ever think that the moaning at 30 seconds is a good idea? He sounds like a mentally handicapped serial rapist with asthma.

My only complaint is the same as it is every week; Archie has nothing to do with anything! He's just off in the corner, strumming his guitar, pulling a High School Musical and angsting about being too good at too many things. Meanwhile, his friends are off conducting an honest-to-god clandestine murder investigation, or trying to prevent the one remaining Blossom child from being sacrificed by her parents to the dark gods they worship (seriously, Alice Cooper looks reasonable next to the Blossoms).
On the one side there are two houses full of hateful/mentally ill people and a murder mystery concerning a Romeo and Juliet pairing.
On the other, there is a guy who has trouble focusing on football because he's also kinda into music. It really feels like those are two different shows.

But Archie was always the least interesting part of Archie, so I guess that's just consistent.

It's gonna turn out to be someone who has it in for the Andrews family, who mistook Jason for Archie. Archie is gonna go the whole season not realizing his friends are solving a murder, and in the season finale they'll save him from the murderer who's still targeting him and he'll finish the season having no clue what just happened. Classic Andrews!

Betty and Veronica both try to explain it to him over dinner, but he thinks they're both asking him out. For some reason, he schedules those dates at the same time. Then he spends all evening switching between the girls without focusing on what they have to say.

You know who has some form of motive and is always around, biding his time?
Regis! He really wanted to become quarterback. Archie dodged a bullet when he forfeited that position.

To be honest, I like it if whodunnits are confident enough to do something a bit out of the left field. But there's a gradient between "The murder was plainly obvious and it is weird that he wasn't caught instantly.", "This character did it. You wouldn't really suspect him but it kinda makes sense.", "He was killed by a person who is really into shooting random strangers in the woods." and "Demon aliens from a parallel universe used mind control on a badger to make it kill him as part of their mating ritual."

Jossie's family (her included) is also awful.

"So you are just another gentrification sellout?"
*Stands up and leaves a few seconds before his daughter finishes her song, just to make a point.*

"Take a woman of color. We have a brand to uphold."
"In fact I'd like to give you the contract... I'd like to but I can't."

Is the idea of this show simply that the entire older generation sucks? At least Mr. Andrews is kinda nice. He's only trying to do what's right and give his son a good life, while he gets seduced by his high school lover. Edit: Patricks dad is cool too.

Also it feels more and more like this is two separate shows. Did Betty and Jughead even interact with Archie in this episode? They shared a table, but I think that's it.

I have no idea what that would imply. Is that an American brand? Or a tertiary Archie comics character?

So, did this episode confirm that Jughead is literally his given name? That's what's written in his police file. It's really weird. His dad is called FP which obviously stands for Forsythe Pendelton II, so what is going on there? Did Jughead make some kind of vow to never use his real name until he can respect his dad?

That would be cheesiest thing:
"I am so proud of you dad." "And I am proud of you Jughead." "Please dad, my name is Forsythe, just like yours."

Also weird: Archie is somewhat involved in the plot again.

Then why would the police file have the fake name? That's a weird level of incompetence by the police. But it's cool to see that this ridiculous name is already there.

Presumably, he isn't actually the leader, but some kind of lieutenant. It makes way more sense this way.

He started as Franks partner, he was short on money and alcohol so he decided to do some odd jobs for the gang on the side. Eventually, Frank was fed up with that poo poo and threw him out. Now unemployed, he became a full time gang member and sort of worked himself up the ladder.

I love that podcast. It's impressive what stupid theories they dug up. (Not an actual spoiler for the show itself) "Veronica and Jughead both have black hair, so FP is actually Hiram Lodge, who broke out of prison and joined a gang."
It's like speculating that Sheriff Keller and Josie are the same person.


I really want the show to return, though.

This show really makes a competition out of finding the worst parent. In this episode Hal Cooper edges ahead again.

"Ever since I forced you to have one, you were way to emotional and touchy about that subject, so I didn't want to inform you about the abortion. She has Blossom blood in her body. It needs to be purged! The Maple wars must not cease until the earth is cleansed of that plague!"

That guy managed to make Alice look comparatively sympathetic. I actually feel bad for her now, she only married into this insanity and might have been a normal person at some early point.

Greendale was name dropped this episode so they might go in that direction. Ever so slowly Greendale and it's inhabitants come into focus.

Maybe there are plenty of restaurants, but Pop's is just by far the best. The unimportant plebs who don't have speaking roles eat elsewhere.

Also wasn't Dilton Doily supposed to be hiding the fact that he was playing with his illegal fire-arms near the lake so he wouldn't be investigated by the police? Why did he volunteer that he was at the scene of the crime in front of everyone including Cheryl and the sheriff's son? Did i forget something important or is it just supposed to be an oversite?

He was drunk and excited to share a story.

Geez Archie. It's less than a week ago that your girlfriend broke up with you because you were dating another woman. Settle down a bit.

Leaving Cheryl alone after she almost killed herself was kind of a bad call. But I guess it kinda turned out fine.

I got the impression she was ready to come to them on the shore before she fell in. I think she changed her mind about the whole suicide thing.

Yeah it seemed that way. But suicidal people tend to be a somewhat erratic. If you talk someone down from a ledge, it certainly doesn't mean that person would never try something like that again. Leaving Cheryl on her own to go to the Jubilee just seems like a dick move.

"There's a vigilante in town that calls himself 'Archiekins'. We don't have any suspects, but he's probably one of the Snakes."

By the way, I love your Pizza Dog avatar. That Matt Fraction run of Hawkeye was great. Kate is basically Veronica Lodge if she had decided to become a marvel hero. To be honest, that describes her so well, that I wonder if that was an inspiration in some way.

If Archie becomes Punisher, Veronica should become Hawkeye.

This will actually be a loose adaption of Archie meets the Punisher where they are the same person in an internal conflict.
"It all started in that park! I told them to be there. They both wanted a date so I had no choice. But then the robbers came. They are dead and it's all because of me! Crime must be pu... shed away.
