I don't know why they even bother to wink when both Chip and for a brief moment, Betty were camming from home in what were definitely supposed to be sexual situations. Wouldn't be the first thing straight up forgotten on this show. Which is why I expected the tickle thing have just been dropped after it stopped coming up.

On the other hand I do appreciate Hiram reacting to the disaster of school prom being cancelled with the same gravity as a bunch of lowlife thugs threatening his daughter and beating the poo poo out of him. Peak Riverdale.

Sometimes it's worth remembering that these sexy teen shows are made for teenagers to ogle at, and most of us watching aren't the right demo for it. That said Riverdale is the worst at straddling the line of '20 somethings being sexy teens for teens to lust over' and 'lol what the gently caress i feel weird watching this'. It's strange. Half the time when watching Riverdale I don't even think about how the characters are all supposed to be teens-- it's hard to even remember that when most of the screen time is either Betty chasing a murder case, Archie running a community centre ??? or Veronica running a bar and manufacturing loving rum. But then they have the Vixens show up or do a musical episode and then I'm reminded that they are, indeed, supposed to be teenagers and it gets weirder than if the show was clearly a sexy high school drama the whole time. idk i'm stoned

Shower thought: Ethel is too woke to use pornhub knowing their lax behaviour towards the child pornography and actual rape videos on their site so she feels more comfortable watching people she knows for sure are consenting participants

I like that at the start with voyeur stuff they paid lip service to the idea this show is supposed to be contemporary and acknowledged that hardly anyone even still owns a VCR and they had to go searching through their garage to find an old one, and then several months later there's a thriving VHS rental place that also has the dirty back room stuff that had mostly been eliminated when Blockbuster almost completely took over that market back when the parents on the show were in high school.

I'm finally getting around to watching the finale-not-finale and I am losing my poo poo over "who has experience getting rid of a dead body?" and literally everyone but the guy who's been employed for several seasons as a thug by Veronica raises their hands. It's peak Riverdale.

I refuse to beleive that they talked it out offscreen and that's all we get. I mean in part because in weird language of narrative that 100% means Reggie was lying, but also because I wanted them to sort it out properly, and on camera. It seems like such a big thing to just handwave away. Although I guess this show has handwaved more important stuff? ( Oh Mom, you're gay? Cool I have a thing bye! *never speaks about it again*)

Eh, Archie's mom's personal life has never been a huge topic for the show and he's got plenty of gay/lesbian friends that it makes sense it wouldn't phase him. If Luke Perry hadn't died and Archie was still hoping his parents would get back together it might make sense for that to cause tension, but given everything else it makes sense for that not to be a huge deal.

S4 thoughts: This show is an English language Telenovella. The Mr. Honey episode was fluff, the season really could’ve ended when they revealed the murder mystery and it would’ve been fine. Plus, there’s absolutely no reason they can’t spike his job at Stonewall by releasing the tape he made (assuming he's alive). The tickling plot line was psychotic, and it’s bizarre that they ended a PTA plotline, where we prove characters can solve murders by themselves, by having them snitch to their parents. But I liked the Hedgewig episode, it was worse than Heather‘s or carrie tho. And I wish we had more from Veronica and Hiram, there’s no way you can read that plot is anything but comedic as they have an entirely offscreen business competition.

As far as I can tell (I haven't caught up to this season yet), Veronica's storyline since S1 has just been an eternal loop of 'i love my daddykins so much. no wait no i refuse to work with him. but i love my daddykins so much'

There are so many interesting things that could be done with those two characters, but the show keeps repeating the same awful arc again and again. I mean, it wasn't awful the first time, it was good when Veronica finally broke away from her bad, but she KEEPS GOING BACK TO HIM. It's not just frustrating at this point, it's dull. esperterra posted:As far as I can tell (I haven't caught up to this season yet), Veronica's storyline since S1 has just been an eternal loop of 'i love my daddykins so much. no wait no i refuse to work with him. but i love my daddykins so much' Also, Archie has just kind of forgotten about Hiram trying to kill him.

I mean, we're supposed to believe these people are 17/18 and she's being portrayed as some legit business threat to her father, a mob controlling multi-state empire running murdering monster. You can stretch reality pretty far in this show but even that is too much.

There was talk about next season being after a 5 year time jump, but I don't remember if that was our idle speculation or there was something concrete behind it. Of course that was also before this season was cut short due to the world ending.

The time jump is happening for sure, about five years or so. But they're going to do it a few episodes into the next season, it sounds like this year's finale was supposed to kick off the jump, but obvs production didn't get to finish properly.

Yeah that definitely made me pause the episode and rewind to make sure it happened. By the time of the family dinner with the uncle and aunt I just went "yeah sure, Toni's onboard for any Blossom shenanigans now I guess"

Not just put up, but also actively participate, remember how Toni just straight up killed a guy and didn't care at all? I know he was an rear end in a top hat, but Betty is over there having an existential crisis because she has "serial killer genes" while Toni is over here just murdering dudes and not giving a gently caress. Golden Bee posted:Also I love that Cheryl gave Toni her own gang. That’s loving funny. We are the pretty poison scene again after their archery event at the climax of season three? Also, the fight last season between Toni and Cheryl was because Cheryl was being too controlling and micromanaging the gang she gave Toni. I don't blame you for not remembering this, like most plotlines on Riverdale it's so ridiculous that the human brain tries to reflexively block it out as a self defense mechanism against insanity.

It’s always funny when you see sweet pea or someone puts on their southside serpents jacket, and you realize that half the cast were in a violent International street gang that started as a native American tribe. Like, the lodges and Archie‘s mom are the only main characters who weren’t hugely involved in the gang at some point in their lives. This season would’ve been more interesting if Veronica and Jughead switched plotlines. We haven’t seen enough of jughead versus Hiram.

I forget, how Did FP get his job back? He quit around Thanksgiving time but got his job back in time to investigate jugheads death. He said he was willing to be a serpent and the chief of police but I don’t think that ever really came up.

The season finale where they get their parents to confront the principal about prom Hiram and Betty are both on camera at the same time, but I don't think they say anything to each other.

Betty figure things out, Hiram makes absolutely no effort to hide his criminality. I imagine a plot line with both of them could be resolved in three sentences.
