 Well, tonight snuck up on me. Let's see how fast I can do this. WHAT IS RIVERDALE? It's the Archie comics as a teen drama. Wait, no, that's not it. It's the Archie comics as a teen drama on Heisenberg meth. Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, former producing writer on Glee and current chief creative officer of Archie comics—he's at least half the reason why Archie became cool again—this show started out as a Twin Peaks riff by way of Dawson's Creek, which then became a pastiche of David Fincher's Zodiac, and then threw in a little Single White Female when it needed to slow down, then said "gently caress it" and turned into all the most memorable parts of The Godfather and Goodfellas, then it decided to do The Candidate, Rebel Without a Cause, and maybe a little bit of West Side Story and Lesbian Robin Hood before doubling down on the slasher movie aesthetic with a whole lot of Silence of the Lambs mixed in for good measure...and it did while keeping its characters mostly grounded and thoroughly entertaining. In short, this show drives people loving insane and it's glorious. Granted, it seems inevitable that it'll collapse under the weight of its own ambition and insanity, and based on other CW shows it looks like it's due to happen <checks notes> right about now, so this show might not be as fun to watch anymore. But if you haven't seen this, go watch it on Netflix and draw your own conclusions. WHAT HAPPENED LAST SEASON? In short: Archie's been framed for murder by Hiram Lodge, who's forming a league of supervillains to help him profit off the decline of Riverdale now that his wife is mayor. Veronica owns Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe despite being like 16. Jughead just took over The Serpents from his old man; Cheryl Blossom is now a member alongside her girlfriend Toni Topaz. Betty's dad turned out to be a serial killer and is now imprisoned, and Betty's mom might have just been indoctrinated into a cult by her eldest daughter Polly. Yeah this show is off the chain. WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS SEASON?
WHERE CAN I LOSE MY poo poo ABOUT THIS SHOW BESIDES HERE? If you're not listening to the podcast Sex Archie, hosted by Goon Emeritus General Ironicus (Grant) and his wife Alaina, you're doing it very, very wrong. ANYTHING ELSE? The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which is apparently set in the Riverdale universe (though is unlikely to crossover...so far), drops on October 26th. That'll probably get its own thread, but if you want to discuss it a little bit in here when it does air, please use spoiler tags for the next month and give people a chance to catch up. Thanks! Oh, and here's where the thread title comes from:  All right, roll on Season 3!

You might consider linking that. BEGINNING: I'm 3 minutes in the and I already feel kinda disgusted by Archie. Wearing a tuxedo with a bow-tie to a court hearing just feels so douchey. It basically signals that you just want to get this over with because he wants to go to prom later tonight. Granted, it's probably the only nice suit he owns, but a tie isn't that expensive. Frankly, wearing a shirt and jeans would make a better impression. Am I wrong about this? That is weird, right? Looking a bit closer, that's actually more of a dark grey suit jacked. In that outfit he looks more like a creepy English teacher. CLOSE TO END: Oh god, Archie you goddamn oaf! He's determined to make the worst impulsive decisions at all time. That ending was a bit weird. Honestly, it feels like the show is back on course. A lot of cool and weird poo poo going on, which gets sidelined because we have to follow Archie around. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Oct 11, 2018 |

I love when the show has a stupidly over-the-top melodramatic plot point revolving around a ridiculously named character. "Alright Sweet Pea, round up the gang and let's infiltrate the southside so we can rescue Hotdog from the Ghoulies!"

"Ya know, Ronnie, it's not that I've been worried about getting shiv'ed in prison...no, I'm just afraid I'm not going to be at graduation with you guys." No, Archie, please be worried about being shiv'ed in prison. Getting stabbed probably sucks. I did sincerely enjoy this episode; the melodrama was thick, everyone was banging each other during the summer (though I feel like Moose was feeling weird cause he already lost his anal virginity and he didn't want to make Kevin feel weird), and it seemed like everyone was very moist throughout. And oh man, that ending was amazing though I feel like it's all just going to lead into 'The Farm' putting people on hallucinogenics and working over the D'n'D nerds as well as the abused women to make them docile.

It's unrealistic for Cheryl to have worn a bra at her pool party, upstate New York is already a bit nippy by the end of August

Look Ronnie, I know we just smashed in a ravine, 3 feet away from where Betty and Jughead were banging, next to a street, a well lit house and the public swimming hole, but I'm gonna opt for jail now.

I gotta be honest, the whole weird virginity loosing pack thing Kevin was talking about made no sense to me. I mean, wasn't there a whole subplot about Kevin hooking up with guys in the woods? And then he also dated Joaquin for quite a while. Oh, and Moose was with Midge for years and there's a 100% chance they had sex. They're both good guys, and I'm glad they're making progress on their relationship, but unless the show is reconning some things neither of them are virgins so I have no idea what Kevin was going on about. The best part of that scene is that Moose looked just as confused about what Kevin was saying as I was. Like, "Dude, are you trying to say you want to hook up with me on Halloween? Then why not just say 'I wanna hook up on Halloween'?"

I’ve listened to the show since you started and DP posted a link. You and your wife are great. Who criticizes the costuming of this show? It’s awesome. Those last three minutes went plaid for me. My wife and I couldn’t even move from the couch. totally hoping we suck face later

And this is why you should never let your mother be your attorney, no matter how good she is: it's not technically illegal, but your mom thinks you look good in everything and thus can't accurately advice you on what outfit to wear so you end up taking the stand looking like a total dork.

Everyone in court was fanning their faces. Besides, it's not like Cheryl would ever care how practical her outfits are. She'd wear a scuba-suit in a desert, if she wants to make a point. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Oct 14, 2018 |

The woman playing Josie is like, 30. This is pretty normal in tv shows like this. Teen Wolf comes to mind, when they didn't have an actual teenager on the cast until the penultimate season.

They also don't age in real time, all the main characters in The O.C. have driver's licenses from the very episode but it takes them 4 years to graduate despite not being held back

Weirdly old looking teens is the price we have to pay to ensure no one on screen is getting abused or exploited off camera I say that's a price worth paying.

All these teens are so jacked. And stacked. I don't understand why Archie got a fake serpent tattoo? surely a real one would help in prison. Also why did Jughead's also look painted on when I think he has one? Also I should say I think the tattoo make up on this show looks good. I'm used to soaps putting the blackest black on people without it fading or blending onto the skin. It's a minor peeve of mine. also also was..hotdog a different breed before?

Hot Dog is a sheep dog and Vegas is a lab I think. Maybe you're thinking of that one.
