Somewhat Heroic
Oct 11, 2007

(Insert Mad Max related text)



Watched this weeks ep last night. I feel like pinning Hal as the Black Hood is too early given how many episodes are left. There are a lot of pieces that connect to him being it though so with swerve I feel is coming it is going to be really good. It would make sense that he would know about the shady guy cover up. Chick isn't dead yet. Rule #1 of all TV shows is unless you see a body buried in the ground that person is not dead. unless it is in the CW Arrowverse I do believe we will see Chick's body before the end of the season though.

The Black Hood has got to be some ancillary character that we have met but have little connection to. Hal will do something heroic to redeem himself but ultimately will be sacrificed because it paves the way for FP and Alice to be together. The Sheriff will have his moment of redemption that saves his career. Will Archie be the one that offs a guy and we see the emotional fallout of that next season? Will the River Vixens see justice dealt?

The Black Hood is Reggie, who found an archie digest and went insane from how underwritten he is. He knows Betty's past because it had a couple Lil' Archie stories halfway through, and he killed Midge because there's not even enough room in a full season order for him to get beat up while trying to gently caress her.

Season ends with the black hood telling archie that he'll reveal his identity if he beats him in a drag race.

Seriously I loving loved that bit and the more River dale goes full goofy with poo poo like poppa poutine, the better it is ,

Dumb Black Hood theory.

This is going to end like Scream, Chick and Betty's real brother are partners and they're going to reveal themselves, saying Betty's just like them since she sent Chick to what she thought was his doom.

I'm with you on this tbh.

Yeah, I think they're gonna pull a Scream 2 as well, and it'll either be a really, really minor character (like that kid who was having an affair with "Grundy" and then turned up hanging out with Chic about five episodes ago) or it'll be another one of the minor recurring teens. Moose maybe? He at least looks like FP.

I did all this stuff for Hiram, and he didn't rescue me when I was in trouble. Clearly the problem here is that I didn't do enough stuff for Hiram.

I'm honestly having trouble keeping abreast with the back half of this season. I still love it (though the musical episode was a bad point. good plot but i didn't enjoy watching it) but I'm not as excited as I was last year, or before the midseason break this year. I think my fears about the longer season order are coming true for me.

smdh should be a midseason show with a respectable season length like iZombie and The 100. But it's a sexy/trashy show about teens which is CW's bread and butter so it being popular af and having a longer order makes sense. Just isn't jiving with me. At least not in terms of keeping up with it, though I'll definitely finish the season at whatever pace and watch the next, unless it crashes and burns somehow.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
Holy poo poo, what is even going on. Hal is covering for someone? and when Archie's Dad gets attacked again Archie totally recognizes the guy's eyes from the dinner so that's at least the same guy but does it not seem like that's maybe Mr Lodge? also I was wrong about Jughead spending the next season in the prison because he'll most likely be in a coma

Cheryl as the Red Arrow was badass.

I guess Hal isn't the perfect husband, father and businessman after all. He always seemed like such a good fellow.
Seriously though, it's kinda weird, that being a deranged serial killer only barely raises his scumbag level.

The fathers of Riverdale all kinda suck.
So far we have a drug kingpin, a gang leader, a presumed tax evader who may have fudged the paperwork for his companies work permits, a mob boss, and a serial killer. All of those are on the same level by the way.

That means Keller and Josie's douchey musician father are the only good dads we've met.
Counting the Blossoms from previous generations doesn't make it any better either.
You might think Jason counts, but technically he was never a father.

I figured that picture was going to get published later and somehow be integral to getting Fred elected and the Sheriff his job back.

I think he'll more likely die next week. He's got insane plot armor, but they didn't even blink at killing Midge. It also gives Betty a good reason to go full Serpent.

Yeah, I kinda agree here. Penny and her friends explicitly wanted to kill him there and they weren't actually stopped in the act. If Jughead actually survives this, they are just incredibly terrible at their jobs. Logically, there's no reason why he'd survive this. On the other hand, he's one of the four main characters and also kind of the narrator so far. This show might go off the rails sometimes, but I still doubt they have the balls to kill him.

Close enough for government work. I'd expect him to come back as a ghost to the main cast. Not out of the picture, but also different with relation to what he was to them. Cue awkwardness with Veronica.

I'm suprised there was not a crowd of people at the Pembrooke going "Here is body of the Black Hood mayor Lodge, I want muh million bucks !" with some random body they took from the morgue and put a hood on. Or killed themselves.

I look forward to the Coopers getting a million dollars.

My personal theory on the Black Hood copycat is that he's just someone Hiram hired to put one round in Fred, whom he knew had a vest on, to scare Fred out of the mayoral race, and that he's never going to show up again except possibly targeting Fred.

Seriously, Cheryl with the bow and arrow. Has she been watching We Need to Talk About Kevin? I love that she went to the trouble of wearing a big red cape.

Jughead dying would be a bold move for the show. But it would mean more of Archie's bitch face, so I hope he's still around. Also, Fred should get shot every single season. That could be his thing.
