I guess my beef is that I never considered either character to be expendable in the comics so they either unceremoniously wrote them off or their big bad has a 1 - 3 record.

This is Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa we're talking about here. Every character outside the core crew is expendable.

Midge and Moose being such well established Archie characters is what made their murder so shocking and impactful to me. Kudos to the writers for that, but they were such promising characters *sigh*. Maybe this is setting a foundation for zombies.

Yeah, but she wasn’t the real Geraldine Grundy, she was Jennifer Gibson. The real Ms. Grundy will show up later, the sister of the dead Ms. Grundy who Jennifer Gibson impersonated.

And her name will also be Geraldine Grundy.

Don't read this if you don't want to know the status of Midge and Moose:

Midge is unharmed, Moose was shot but is up and talking during the next episode. So the black hood is REALLY bad at his job.

So pretty much what I figured. Nuts Midge didn't get hurt. Must be a pretty low calibre gun. Or Moose is just that thicc.

It would be funny if like Archie, this will become the Superhero origin for Midge and as the season goes on the Black Hood will repeatedly fail to kill people and accidentally create new problems for him later down the line.

How would you even manage that? He shot several times from point blank, while Moose was just sitting there.
New theory: This was a false flag operation. The role of the killer is shared between Dilton and Moose. Dilton is the shooter, Moose is the strangler... Dilton kinda sucks at this.
The more I think about this stupid theory the more sense it makes. Dilton is kind of a lunatic and he actually figured out that Ms Grundy was seducing students. Maybe he just wanted Grundy dead and keeps almost killing people to make this look like the work of a deranged serial killer without clear motive. I bet he has tight alibi for the night of her death.

I'm suspicious of Dilton too, and I like the idea of a Dilton/Moose partnership like Moe/Mercer from Veronica Mars.

It also explains why the Black Hood is such a gently caress up if those two are behind it.

What was with the two guys on the left who didn't get the memo*? Totally blew the symmetry of the shot.

Man, drunk Hermione taunting Veronica about how she'll never be part of the "family business" - then polishing off her glass while stink-eyeing her own daughter? That's the good poo poo I tune in for.

(*They met the casting call for "dudes in Vancouver with insanely jacked guns" but had extensive torso tats that couldn't readily be covered by makeup.)

What if Cole Sprouse was @dril

I don't know why they're all so worried about Jingle Jangle when Riverdale High obviously has a steroid hookup.

Polly's "I NEED to get the gently caress OUT of HERE!!" was the most rational thing in this episode.
