Hey sports fans, if one likes Riverdale a lot and finds horror boring, would they enjoy Sabrina?

I found it a bit on-the-nose in regards to characterization, but it's not bad. Try the first ep and see if you're into it?

Though I know Bughead is endgame, the true best end would be after 7 or so seasons of an Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle the girls just say gently caress that dope and run away together b/c the truest of loves is clearly sapphic

but im also incredibly gay so this could be a lifetime of wishful archie comics thinking

Meanwhile, I'm hoping RAS fulfills his dreams of gay Archie in NY. He's playing the long con, baby!

"You know how you imitate the speech patterns your dad uses on television to mock him. Do that professionally, please."
It kinda feels like this is nepotism, since he only got the gig because of who his father is. On the other hand, he's probably the person most fitted for the job.

More for the nepotism file: his IRL wife is going to play a character later in the season.

Does anyone have a theory about the seizures? When Josie had hers, I was thinking some of the adults were drugging their food and drinks with a poison to build up their tolerances to protect them from the poison fresh-aid. But then I remembered Ethel had a seizure and were her parents even involved at all?

Evelyn's gotta be involved. She's been at the scene at both Ethel and Josie's seizures, and she might have been around for Betty's too.

There will be at least most of a season that have Archie and Betty as a couple.

Probably season 4

God, I hope not. I don't have a problem with Jughead and Betty breaking up (even if they are cute together) , but it would be such a letdown if she ended up with Archie. They've both moved on by now.

Archie says of the farm, "There's something about this place that makes me feel at home". He didn't grow up on a farm, his father's always been in construction and he's always lived in Riverdale?! What a bizarre thing to say.

I'm tired of Hermione.

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 think she's supposed to be an alcoholic now. Because even Hermione is tired of Hermione.

So apparently the next musical episode is Heathers?

If this is true that's good news because the Heathers musical is great.

I'm excited about Sweet Pea as the male lead, but I'm also surprised that Sweet Pea would agree to take part in a High School musical. I guess he was really serious about getting close to Josie.

I hope they do a new musical every season, and that Jughead keeps getting different jobs offstage.

i'm glad we all agree that episode was dumb as poo poo. LOVE bear attacks as a plot device. also like ... just a general lol at the last ep's "OMG QUARANTINE" then immediately jug being like, "and the quarantine was over"

Man the casting for the musical is whack. I can't wait for it to suck like the last musical episode! Maybe it won't be so bad I stop watching til the finale like last season, lol.

Josie and Veronica have already ruined enough musicals this year.

At least this year there are no parents cast in the high school musical production. Baby steps!

Five Feet Apart looks fuckin terrible.

It's based on a weepy YA novel. Of course it's gonna be terrible. CS' job is to look sufficently emo and dreamy that the girls in the audience will swoon, and judging by the trailer he's nailing it.

Hal is no Anthony Hopkins that's for sure.

Did we really already know Hal and Penelope Blossom were loving? It's a testament to how much insanity happens every episode to have adult, extra-marital (?) incest be a background fact and for me to forget it even happened.

Edit: Wait, or is Hal and Penelope Not Blood Siblings or something?

It was established in season two that Penelope and Hal were loving. You know those Blossoms; they like to keep it in the family. And they're not siblings. I think they're cousins or something like that. Her Husband (RIP) was her brother though; she was adopted into the family to be his child bride.

This episode was a wild ride from start to finish, and I love it. My one concern is that this town is starting to run out of adults who're not murdered or in prison for murder.

I haven't finished the new episode yet, but I have to ask: Is anyone else kind of wondering why Veronica doesn't just kill her parents?

She seems to forget they're evil from time to time. One second she's all "My father did this!" the next she wonders why everyone are so harsh on him, because he's changed! for real this time!

Especially since it seemed like they were foreshadowing FP dying so hard this episode. There won�t be any solid paternal figures left.

IDK, i don't think they'd kill off FP permanently. He's a pretty popular character. The likes of Claudius and Cliff Blossom, sure, but not the Hot Riverdale Dad #1.

Why is it we seem to only get like 2 episodes in a row before yet another break? Other shows on other networks just do the one winter break right? This season seems like it's mostly break

I think this break is at least partly due to Luke Perry's passing? They had to take a couple of weeks off from shooting to give everyone a chance to mourn, and to figure out what to to about Fred.

I saw it in one of the interviews I read from him yesterday as I was idly flicking through my timeline half-asleep and now that I'm actually looking for it I can't find it lmao

edit: found it https://decider.com/2019/05/15/riverdale-season-3-finale-roberto-aguirre-sacasa-spoilers-jughead-charles-smith-gargoyle-king/

relevant quote is:

Aguirre-Sacasa: We did not have that twist from the very beginning. I think we landed on that about halfway through the season. We were like, “Oh, should we call Mädchen?” We didn’t, partly because we were worried that it was going to start affecting her performance, that she was going to start playing like she was undercover. And it felt like the truest version of this was for her, was to play it as totally invested in The Farm and that that would make the illusion stronger.

They did the same thing with Hal last year. The actor didn't have a clue that he was the Black Hood until the reveal.

I�m guessing that Jughead is the murderer rather than the murderee. They were burning his hat because it got blood on it when he was stabbing someone in a frantic rage. Fred?

Pretty sure Jughead stabbing Fred in a fit of rage isn't the "respectful" ending the producer promised he'd give him.

But I do think the killer is Jughead. Maybe he murdered Charles for some reason? This is Riverdale, after all, and I refuse to believe he's as well-adjusted as he seems.

I was half kidding about Jughead killing Fred but wouldn�t put it past them because Riverdale is ridiculous TV. You�re right though, Charles might make more sense.

I would like to see Hal keep coming back, Michael Myers style. And then they can make a Hal-loween special. Look, as long as there�s no more G&G or fizzle rocks I don�t give a poo poo how crazy they get next season.

He'll be back, and this time with TWO hook-hands!
