I'm so glad to be watching this poo poo again. :allears: I never bothered to watch Katy Keene so having this 45 year old high school boxer guest star for cross promotion is the schad I needed.

Actual lol at Betty blackmailing her way into the snuff film festival and running into Jellybean because she got an email.

Riverdale Season Five: I am moving back to the city, and I am becoming a Real Housewife.

An unhinged episode for a rather anticlimactic end to the VHS plot. Then again, Mr Honey wasn't involved with any of this??

This episode made me more emotional than I thought as well. I don't care for the relationship fallout much but the friendship breakup got me. I hope we can see the Core 4 reunite platonically at first and not immediately rush into pairing them up again. But I'm genuinely excited for the seven year timeskip.

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.

There's a poignant message about veterans somewhere in this episode, between the alien abductions and child labour exploitation.

I strongly suspect the aliens are connected to the murder truck, I'm not sure how but that's the vibe I get.

With Archie and Veronica out of the way this is absolutely going to be a set up for Betty and Jughead to team up again and probably get back together.

Veronica divorcing her husband but still finding the time to play into Hiram's bullshit... girl the call is coming from inside the house!

That shotgun prison wedding scene has to be proof the writers are in on the joke. This episode was BONKERS for no reason. And they didn't even kill Charles/Chic off :psyduck:

Truly forgot everything about this season through that long hiatus including how unhinged this show's energy is. It's like nothing else on TV.

I yelled when Cheryl showed us her brother's skeleton in the trunk. Goddamn, just let the man rest.

Wait, was this the musical episode of the season? If so, glad we got that over with, but wish it had more Little Shop of Horrors songs.

It's not :lol: The musical this season is Next to Normal and it sounds incredible: Refusing to accept what’s going on around her, Alice (Mädchen Amick) creates an imaginary musical fantasy world in which the Coopers are one big happy family again. But as her mother continues to spiral, Betty (Lili Reinhart) does her best to pull her back to reality.

I have some intense whiplash from how quickly so many plots were resolved in this episode. A half-Blossom murder family? Why not, the Blossoms are behind everything else anyway. Polly's death seemed inevitable all season but drat that scene with Betty and Alice finding her body :smith:

I have no idea what the gently caress is happening with Cheryl's story. Just have this show go full Sabrina at this point.

Veronica killing her husband just to instantly reach the old married couple stage with Archie is funny. I hope that they're done for good.

Anyways I recently lost somebody in my extended family so I definitely connected to the music more than the average viewer. I've had I Am The One on repeat.

well I guess I'll be coming back to this fuckin show for an ep or two

:laffo: no loving way. I guess Cheryl really is a witch. I hope she brings Michelle Gomez with her. I heard Riverdale needs some teachers.

Riverdale Season 5: “That would be the secret ingredient I added. Tears that the Virgin Mary shed at the crucifixion.”

Comrade Fakename posted:

My concern for “Rivervale” is that it’s a setup for putting this Sabrina stuff in the show that allows them to not make magic actually “real” in the Riverdale canon. But this seems to betray the show they’ve been making for years now - this is now a work that is solely about jumping the shark multiple times a week, how is magic a shark too far? I come to Riverdale for escalation of madness, not half-measures.

I could see it being like WandaVision where it's not actually happening but it manifests in the real Riverdale after.

The Sunday timeslot keeps throwing me off.

Why does the town not seem to care that another serial killer has shown up? Why is Jughead manifesting more powers while Archie/Betty aren't? Why does Rose want control of Riverdale? What is going on.

I really hope Hiram is dead dead because that was some good growth and acting from Veronica but I don't trust this show.

A time traveller weaponizes a biblical angel to end racism on Christmas Eve. This episode ruled.

Can’t wait for Archie to summon King Arthur in the Holy Grail war to prevent the Third Impact.

Didn't Charles try to stab Betty and Alice to death last time he saw them? And you're telling me Betty read his aura and it's fine?

I'm feeling that this ends in some time travel shenanigans and the final season is reset back to high school.

Haven't posted here all season because I'm struggling to even keep up. I thought the 1950s would be an interesting change of pace but it's been so loving boring. I've seen photos of them filming the last episode and they're STILL in the 1950s? What is going on

I'm very late to the Riverdale funeral but I just finished the finale.

That... was an episode of TV! One last shoutout to Lili Reinhart and her acting for making me cry when the writing didn't. S7 was definitely my least favourite season. It felt lobotomized. The show was supposed to be so bad it's good. This year was just boring. I liked the concept in theory but it's like they became self aware that they went off the rails and tried to fix it at the worst time. Why did the 1930s last the ENTIRE season? I need to know why they decided that because that did not seem to be in the cards at first. I know Riverdale isn't the first piece of fiction to go to when you want a time paradox plot but this was almost literally a hand wave. Tabitha saved everybody and they all survived but they still couldn't go back to the future? Okay.

I think my biggest issue with S7 was a Ship of Theseus dilemma. These were the same actors and same names but they didn't feel like the same characters. In the end they're watching their memories on a TV and not recognizing themselves and they live and die in a very different world.

Love how this show wrote itself into a corner with all the 'endgame' stuff only for it to end in a foursome with them never being in the same place again after high school :lol:
