This was 'people reveal their master plans to each other:' the episode. Not going to lie though, I'm v disappointed that the Gargoyle King is just an urban legend from the Sisters of Quiet Plot Convenience somehow laced into hallucinogenic candy by Hiram. Actually, reading that sentence back, am I?

It's explained in a deleted season two scene that they filmed and released on the DVDs/youtubes.

Basically she went to Greendale and they hocus pocused her burnt dermis.

Like how many times are they going to pretend she isn't going to just do whatever Hiran wants

Pretending to be internally conflicted doesn't do much when you could just call off the plan immediately all by yourself.

I totally thought she was going to die at the end of that episode, and Hiram had poisoned her drink to frame Veronica or something equally insane.

It was a little disappointing that the big character death that had been hyped ended up being nobody Peabody, off-screen.

She's had so much goddamned surgery/face fillers that she can barely emote.

gently caress me, this show has gone absolutely batshit and it's only episode 8. I miss it being a teen drama with a hint of darkness in the background, rather than going all out on the supernatural stuff. A lot of the script is starting to sound like terrible Riverdale fanfiction. Fizzlerocks? Really?

I would also be fine with less Cheryl now. Yes, she's in the cutest lesbian couple on TV, but none of her stories make any sense. Her crazy mother was so homophobic she sent her for gay conversion therapy, and now she's going to move her girlfriend in?

She kicked her mom out of the house after escaping lesbian prison last season.

Her mom is living elsewhere with her uncle.

Aaah, OK. I hate when idiots like me don't watch TV properly and then complain about it. I really shouldn't skip that recap because this show has so much going on sometimes.

I’m almost done with season one of this trashy fever dream, and my favorite detail is that they’ve made maple syrup important to the narrative and setting, yet chosen to film in a visually striking region that doesn’t have a single deciduous tree.

It really contributes to the low-key dreamlike atmosphere, like the mishmash of periods reflected in the costuming and mixture of ultra-contemporary dialogue with people being too scandalized to bring themselves to say “abortion,” like it’s the 40s.

This series went from guilty pleasure to so bad it's good and stayed there for ages but this last episode was a dumb mess as well boring.. And it didn't even look as good as it usually does. Not sure if it was the break that put it into relief or what. The characters are all insufferably sanctimonious. Even Cheryl was annoying as hell.

Yeah and the way they're playing Cheryl being bi kind of skeeves me out, btw. It feels super male gaze-y.

Also Veronica's storyline has careened off a cliff this season, which is sad because she used to be my favorite.
