Chainsaw killers. "An alpha like Chad". Forging Rembrandts. Packs of wild dogs (some of them rabid!) roam the streets. Hell Truck. These writers are coked off their tits and I hope their supply never dries up. My only disappointment is Archie's opening being a dream; they could have played it off as being the literal war and it would not have been out of place given everything that follows. This episode is a masterclass in not giving a gently caress.

Veronica mentions that year is 2021. Also, I'm pretty sure there was a banner that said "congratulations graduating class of 2021!" last episode. So it's been seven years, but it's still 2021.

Did they ever say what years previous seasons were meant to be? If it's 2021 now it could be that season 1 was 2011; I believe the previous seasons covered three years of school, so throw on a seven-year skip and we're at a clean decade.

You guys are all overthinking that time in riverdale follows a straight line to reality. It’s definitely Jeremy Bearimy. They have five seasons as noted by the name of the hotel. These kids accomplish more before breakfast and school starts than I will in an entire day. Time in Riverdale =/= time in the real world.

Plus they (Archie excepted) managed to graduate despite never going to class because they were busy solving crimes/faking their deaths/getting harvested for organs/running a bordello/making rum/etc.

Archie Andrews is a 24 year old man who has taken lives and hauled broken bodies of men off the battlefield, but he has no idea why someone would set an unused bus stop on fire for a laugh.

He got really emotional about light vandalism, considering he basically ignored the fact that a dog was mauling a person in the previous scene. "Who would ever do something so evil to a bus stop? How can busses stop there if the stop is broken? People new this bench to sit!"

I love how theres been like 4 serial killers on this show and Riverdale has become a godamn dystopia since they left. Riverdale is amazing when it is loving bonkers so just keep supplying the drugs to the shows writers because I eat this poo poo up.

Remember that time a serial killer came into Pop's on Halloween night and Veronica killed (?) him and just never talked about it again? I don't blame anyone who doesn't, that wasn't even close to the craziest thing that's ever happened on this show.

drat, Betty and Archie jumped straight to loving. Good for them. I'm glad that Pop Tate got to happily retire on his own terms and leave his business in good hands  I was so worried they would murder that man. RIP Polly though, you were a terrible sister and a bad mother and now you're dead I guess.I am loving evil Reggie. It took 5 seasons, but we finally got a sleazy Reggie just like in the comics. Looking forward to him being a smarmy jerkass. Although in this episode he actually came off as the lesser of two evils since he was trying to prevent a bunch of tenants from being forcibly removed from their home while Archie and the gang took up the roll of cops and preformed an illegal raid then permanantly seized their property. Oh, and Jughead Jones is now officially the dumbest person in town for thinking that The Serpents wouldn't realize his orginal characters (do not steal) The Vipers were based on them. Also he named a character "Toothy" and another one "Popeye", LOL what a dipshit.

Archie is a giant rear end in a top hat. "I don't like the unsavory sort of people on my rental property, so I will convince the local sheriff and a FBI agent to do an extra-legal raid on them. Let's beat them up, I am 100% sure we will find drugs there, even though I have been proven wrong before. I am the noble paladin of righteousness. Together we will return this town to the utopia it was before I was old enough to perceive its flaws. Let's make Riverdale great again!" Seriously, the show did basically nothing to convince me that he had any real reason to suspect a drug stash, other than his personal sense of vendetta. I know this universe bends to his whims, but I am still not quite convinced that those drugs weren't just planted. Well, I guess it would be a bit hard to plant a whole lab in the bath room. It turns out they never entered that room. That stuff was there all along and belonged to Archies mother. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Archie and Betty were spying on them earlier in the episode and saw them handing around big bunches of jingle jangle sticks. Archie absolutely is a total knob and raiding the house by kicking people through windows and hitting them in the head with baseball bats clearly is not how a sheriff and FBI agent should operate, but there's no question the drugs were already there.

I love how they can just raid a house no questions asked but they actively explained how the characters can be teachers at the high school without the credentials. Veronica's plot is so bad.

The Lobotomy Kid posted:Riverdale will be cleansed by free charter schools and extrajudicial violence. I feel like this series takes place in the same universe as the Yakuza games. Huh, this comparison is actually incredibly appropriate. Random swings between ultra-violent crime drama, weird sidequests and ridiculously mundane events. A main character who is incredibly passionate about the later and keeps committing crimes in the name of justice. Outside of that he's a bit of a cardboard. Random bursts of songs. Nobody ever learning any sort of lesson, from all of this nonsense... I want Archie to really get into pocket racing now and if it doesn't happen, it's your fault! Also, turn Regie into Majima. Archie is on the way to confront the human traffickers, who captured his mother. Just before he arrives, he stumbles over a circus troupe in dismay, because their bear wrestler is out sick. Naturally, they convince him to pitch in for a few shows on their state tour. During this time, he finds out that the circus is actually a front for a group of anarchists, who go from place to place to steal nuclear codes. After they have a passionate fight about it, he convinces them, that their real joy was in performing all along, so they promise to focus on entertainment from now on. Archie looks for something else to do, but figures that the main plot is a bit to far away now. Hey this kid needs help with his trading card collection!

Riverdale is Community now. Rebooting a student-focused show so the cast become staff-members in an attempt to save the failing school is the exact same thing Community did. I’m pretty sure Annie even ended up working for the FBI or something.

Question: Are the characters post time skip lives lovely enough that moving back to a dying small town full of serial killers so they can teach high school really a step up for them? Here are my thoughts: Jughead Post Time Skip Life: Has written one book that's a thinly veiled autobiography about his time in Riverdale and nothing else. Is drowning in debt and unable to come up with new ideas. Was recently dumped by his girlfriend because she was fed up with his melodramatic bullshit and immediately afterwards he hooked up with a woman who had been stalking him that then preceded to blackmail him to advance her own career. So is moving back to Riverdale a good idea?: Yes, lying low and living rent free in Archie's house while chipping away at his debt with a job at a diner is the smartest move he can make right now given that he apparently borrowed money from the kind of people who'll break your legs if you don't pay up. Also, he's apparently only capable of writing about real life events that happen in the town of Riverdale with the names of the people involved very slightly changed, so now he can begin actually writing his second book about Vetty and Beronica and their love of a man named Arnie. Betty Post Time Skip Life: Now works for the FBI hunting serial killers, but recently hosed some poo poo up by ignoring the rules which led to a killer getting away. Seems to be dating a man she has so little interest in that she would rather eat take-out alone in her apartment going over cold cases than spend time with him. Owns a super cute cat. So is moving back to Riverdale a good idea?: Yes, really not much in her life would change except now she would get to hunt serial killer on her own terms without having to worry about things like "rules", "regulations", and "excessive violence" and get to hook-up with a super hot guy she actually enjoys being around. It's an upgrade in all the right ways, the only thing from her old life worth bringing along is that fluffy wuffy kitty cat. Veronica Post Time Skip Life: Married a terrible man who sucks and convinced her to quit a job she loved and was really good at. She then secretly got another job she loved and was really good at and when her husband found out about it he threw a tantrum because he's a controlling rear end in a top hat. Has many positive social connections and maintains a good relationship with her mom, pretty much everyone we see interacting with her respects and appreciates her except for her horrible husband. So is moving back to Riverdale a good idea?: No, the only thing wrong with her current life is her awful husband. Once her divorce from him is finalized the sky's the limit and she can pretty much do whatever she wants, so why should she go back to Riverdale when she can instead go some place with way less murder/gang violence/rabid dogs? Also, being back in Riverdale puts her back in direct contact with her emotionally abusive father whom she's previously had an extremely unhealthy relationship with, which is that last thing she needs.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Is this the craziest show on tv? Easily has been since probably somewhere in season 3. The show's ability to be completely bonkers every episode to the point where halfway through a lot of them I'm thinking "this is so loving stupid im gonna quit" to bring it back around by the end of every episode to me saying to myself "poo poo that was wild guess i gotta tune in next week" is astounding to me. It's completely insane, regularly jumps the shark, but somehow manages to stay engaging and fun without going totally over the cliff.

No other TV show in years has felt so much like each episode has been written by a different person to the previous one, with every plot being made up as they go along. As abstract as something like Twin Peaks gets, that is a consistent type of strange from episode to episode. Riverdale has no clue where it's going, pays very little attention to where it's been, and serves up a different kind of bullshit each episode. There are actual surrealist, fantasy, and sci-fi comedy shows that wish they could be this unhinged. Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, which was first intended to be the magical counterpart to Riverdale, was less insane. And that had Satan as an actual character and multiple trips into literal Hell. I love it, but there is no question that this is the stupidest show on TV right now and, at least off the top of my head, for the last decade at least. Especially when you consider that the original pitch for this show was another Dawson's/Tree Hill/OC combined with a small town murder mystery, how the gently caress we've ended up here is anyone's guess. I've watched every single episode and I know I could not explain it.

joebuddah posted:Also did they say before this episode that Riverdale was so close to NYC. Nah, it's a migrating landscape. And now that it is no longer bound by the constrains of being a town, it's free to move where it pleases. The show isn't really big into that concept of consistency, or logical world building. Case in point: According to his tombstone, Fred Andrews died 2019, which is 7 year before the current year of 2020. I guess those seven years happened during the 2020 time dilation. By the end of next weeks episode everyone will be in their forties. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Time Dilation is such a good way to put it. Thinking back on this week's episode I'm a little disappointed with how quickly its thrown all 4 main characters back together in their teacher plot. Especially because this show went to such pains in the past to keep all 4 separate for huge chunks of the last two seasons. I was hoping for a few episodes of them exploring their adult lives and following them trying to navigate the situations the time skip put them in. It's funny that they spent so long ignoring the school aspect of the show to do babies first mafia that now they've aged the characters out of school they've sent them back as teachers
