I just want to say again; I don't know if it's the lighting, the cinematography, the acting, or all three, but this show has some intense emotions going on, to the point where I feel like any of these characters could commit murder at any given moment. Also, I kind of dig the reinterpretation of Jughead's weird crown thing to this weird beanie thing. They're both slightly ridiculous but the beanie feels ridiculous in a way that someone would actually be willing to indulge in.

This is, of course, assuming they get more than one season. Which I kind of hope they do, just so they can go further down the crazy hole. I want actual witch Sabrina. I want time travel and zombies. Hell, loving Sam and Dean can ride through town for a crossover episode and comment on how freaky and hosed up Riverdale is.

I really hope the gay kid killed Jason, mostly because I want him off the show. As a gay man, I've had enough of that grating stereotype to last me several lifetimes.

I am in the middle of a Google search for "weird Archie comics" and there's just. So much. It's wonderful. Please get weird, show. Give me Archie vs Predator. Give me Jughead's Time Police. Give me zombies and necromancy. loving hell, bring on the cast of Glee and have them fight the Ninja Turtles. Just loving do it. It's in the comics! There's precedent for this poo poo! Let's go hog loving wild! The CW will never know what hit it!

Argue posted:Riverdale s02e07 - "Crisis on Multiple Earths, part 3" - When Marshall January McAndrews traces a time aberration to Central City following the disappearance of its hero, The Flash, it's up to Jughead and his time-travelling beanie to set things right, with the help of his friends' alteregos, the Superteens of Earth-T. Meanwhile, Damien Dahrk's latest plan hits a snag when he realizes that his target, Greendale, is under the protection of a powerful family of witches. You joke, but given the direction the the CW has been going for the past few years, I fully expect some kind of crisis crossover mega show to happen at some point. Crossovers and shared universes slowly took over the comics and movie worlds, now it's only natural that TV join the trend. They've already done it with all their superhero shows, it's only a matter of time before their various other shows with modern settings get pulled into the all-consuming crossover void. Seriously though, at the very least, I want the Legends to crash land in Riverdale and abduct Jughead for an episode as a nod to Jughead's Time Police. Naturally, the episode would end with Jughead having a fight to the death with his evil alt-earth doppelganger in a hotel lobby.

Well, that episode was weird. Can we not with the sympathetic child molesters? If that was a male teacher having a sexual relationship with a female student, it would be loving creepy and the show would 100% know it was loving creepy. I feel like the show doesn't necessarily know how creepy Ms. Grundy is. Like I feel like that entire storyline was some adolescent fantasy of one of the main writers and he decided to live it out through Archie. It was weird. Anyway, I'm glad it's over. Also Jughead is homeless? And his dad is apparently a gangbanger? Whaaaaaaat.

I just hope that now that Archie is out of the Grundy quagmire, he can actually be, like, a friend to people. I'm pretty sure Archie is generally supposed to be a pretty decent dude, but the show started with him at his shittiest and most oblivious and all of his plots so far have been about him being kind of a dick. But most of him being a dick can actually be traced back to him being under Grundy's spell, so now that he's out of it, I want to see the guy Betty and Jughead were willing to put up with so much poo poo in order to get back.

So that was a wild episode that was thoroughly entertaining. I half-expected Grandma Blossom to unhinge her jaw and try to eat Betty or something. Like I said, I've played Resident Evil 7. Trust no grandmas.  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).

I'm 100% down for an Afterlife with Archie adaptation, as long as somebody other than Jughead is patient zero. Maybe Cheryl convinces Sabrina to try and resurrect zombie Jason.

I'm starting to gunk that Archie is just there as a baseline, to remind us what relatively normal teenager-hood looks like so the bugfuck insane antics of everyone else are placed in the proper context.

Oh God, Polly is somewhere even worse than a mental hospital; they sent her to a Catholic School.  EDIT: Christ, these people are monstrous.

Hollismason posted:So yeah, Archie is actually a supporting character to Betty and Veronica who are the actual main stars of the show. The promo for next week seems to suggest it's pretty much the Jughead show. There is not even a hint of another character having a plot. That combined with a couple of Cole Sprouse interviews makes me think this is Jughead's ascension to full main character status, fully supplanting Archie as the center of the show. Next, Veronica will fall for him, and he will have a love triangle.

Given the sheer absurd amount of very specific product placement, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Covergirl is actually providing most of the show's operating budget.

Binary Logic posted:So FP's an alcoholic (but no drugs or even cigarettes, oh no that would be really bad) biker gang leader with no visible tats, who lives in a dump. What happened to the bag of money he was handed? If this is how he lives why be in the gang, he could have the same lifestyle on loving welfare. Sad thing about criminal gains: it's hard to use them. If you, a poor unemployed alcoholic, suddenly start buying a bunch of nice poo poo, people are going to start asking questions you don't want to answer. Dude needs to look into money laundering. Alternately, he blows it all on booze. Alcohol isn't cocaine-pricey but it's still pretty expensive. Also, presumably that entire bag of money was not for FP. There's a whole gang of ne'er do wells to split it with.

This show is... A Lot. It's absurd, over-the-top melodramatic, utterly insane, and also weirdly beautiful. Seriously, hats off to the cinematographer or whoever is in charge of making the pretty pictures because the pictures are, indeed, very pretty. I'm happy that Archie finally got to participate in the main plot! Even if it's just him being groomed as future Blossom breeding stock. Next week looks like it's going to be even more insane.

They bring that up on the Sex Archie podcast; there's nothing overly creepy about the act itself, but the way it is shot and framed makes you immensely uncomfortable, which is how Jughead feels about it. It was a nice way of putting the audience inside his head for a bit.

Given the sheer insanity of this season, it honestly didn't matter that much who killed Jason to me. I had theories on everyone from the Coopers to Cheryl in a fugue state to Jughead's identical cousin Nathan (he's a real character drat it!). I was more about the craziness of the ride, and boy howdy, was it crazy. And it's not even over yet! Basically, I am not watching this show for the mystery. I am watching for poo poo like that close-up of Cheryl's crisply made-up eyes as a single tear falls from each in turn, followed by her marching downstairs in slow-motion to some depressing indie song to confront her brother's murderer. For poo poo like Jughead giving an oscar-worthy performance of the heartbroken, disillusioned son to try and suss out his dad's innocence or guilt. I am watching this show to see teenage sleuths infiltrate gangbangers' apartments and find dead bodies in bathtubs. I loving love this trashy garbage show.

I wonder at which point they decided to make the comic relief character of the digests into the designated emotional pincushion of the TV show. Seriously, the latter half of the season was basically "hey, let's stab Jughead in the heart! Over, and over, and over again!"
