Hal Cooper continues to be the worst person in a show about predators, drug dealers, gangsters, mob bosses and literal serial killers. That's kind of impressive, actually.

He kept the possible inheritance a secret from his own daughter, just to prevent Alice from getting anything.

One of my favourite things about the show is that Kevin's basically the healthiest and most well-rounded character as a consequence of the writers not knowing what to do with him. He's a reliable confidante to Betty because they need someone who hasn't met Chic, he's a talented wrestler and Archie's rival there because they don't want to use Reggie nearly enough, he has a great relationship with his dad because Sheriff Keller's screentime is usually used for crime/Sierra bits, and so on. He's come out to be a really enjoyable straight man to all the craziness that surrounds him.

Plus he got to say my new favourite deathly-serious-but-ludicrous phrase, "video gigolo."

I didn't realize that some how there are still 6 episodes left in the season? At some point I'm predicting Chic getting cast out of the Cooper house is what kickstarts the return of the Black Hood.

I thought that was a pretty good reveal. Hiram Lodge is worse than a gangster. He's a fuckin' bureaucrat.

As far as I can tell is actually a luxury private prison for all of Hiram's incarcerated rich friends to hang out in and basically still conduct business from.

They said they wanted to turn Southside High into the prison, so I think it's for Jughead to get locked up in.

Privatized for profit prisons are a borderline medieval horror show and no quaint little town wants one anywhere near them.

Yes. This plan is just one step less evil than making that school a designated orphan hunting zone. Private for profit prisons are some of the most vile instiutions in America. Some workers in those hell holes literally talk about "maintaining the loyality of their customers."

That scene in Goodfellas where Paulie's making pasta in prison, but it's Jughead grilling burgers on a wire-clothes-hanger-turned-bbq rack.

My mom was like "what's with the pigtails?" and I had to explain why it takes extreme visual cues to make the audience believe that Cheryl's actually vulnerable.

How can it be correct when Archie’s still around?

Still, props to Riverdale for having the guts to make Archie Andrews an insufferable wangus. I have faith that they’re building to something awesome with it.

Veronica's the one that I find the most flamingly immoral and unlikable of them all.

But Camila Mendez can act. And likeability has never been something this show was remotely interested in. So she's obviously great fun.

Cole Sprouse, on the other hand, is not a good actor. He's barely got two facial expressions.

I felt a feeling of relief when Archie once again became the most terrible person in this Archie show, because the handful of episodes this season where he was not the worst kind of backstabbing rear end in a top hat were weird and didn't feel right.

Archie's going to be misled by his newfound love of violence and his soft spot for Cheryl, and kill Penelope when he finds out she's been put in the asylum, and in season 3 he and Jughead will renew their friendship inside the prison
