Fred was the moral anchor of the show and the only half decent parent outside of maybe Keller. He'll be sorely missed.
RIP Luke Perry. Way too young.

Riverdale |OT| Woah, Black Betty!

- Start date
I had given up on watching before the last episode but I'll finish off the season in honor of Luke Perry. Fred Andrews > the rest of the crazy characters.
Is the show still shut down? I heard they halted production yesterday (and rightly so) but I wasn't sure if they planned to stay halted for a while. I imagine the latter bits of the season are gonna need some hefty rewrites.
That's pretty much where I'm at. Bout done with this show too.
:((((((((((((((((((((((((
The ending of tonight's episode made me smile though.
"You look so cheerful Betty!"
"I just burned my fucking house to the ground."

Yep! I loved it!
Sad to see Luke Perry in the episode after the recent events :( R.I.P.
I had thrown in the towel on this show, but decided to get caught up and finish out the season in the wake of Luke's death, but this boxing scene, and Josie singing the Thunderdome song...
And the Gladys Jones stuff... what is even going on?
I'm regretting this decision immensely.

Over the past two months or so I've been watching this show from the beginning, and now I'm finally caught up, boy, I don't honestly know where to begin. Sometimes I kinda hate myself for carrying on watching what's obviously such a terribly written show, I think at points I've actually groaned or screamed out loud at how bad it is, yet why can't I stop watching?
The show certainly has peaks and troughs that's for sure. Season 3 I would say is definitely in a very messy trough right now. Season 2 was quite enjoyable with all the black hood stuff, but S3 is all over the place.
I think it started off fine, and I was quite enjoying the possible supernatural spin on things with the gargoyle king etc, but once again we're now back to really lame stories about gangs being at war with one another. I can't take any more of these serpents, ghoulies, gargoyles, poisons, it's just pathetic.
My two general observations I've taken away from watching all this are,
1) all the parents are horrible people, like seriously ridiculously, villain in a superhero movie horrible. They don't act like parents to their children whatsoever.
2) the way the teenage cast constantly refer to names of films in their dialogue is INFURIATING. I'll pick out some films at random to give an example cos I can't remember any exact lines right now, but they might say something like "don't go all American psycho on me" or "why are you acting like suicide squaddy", it drives me insane! I can't believe there are people actually getting paid to write that shit.
Anyway, my rant is done. Sorry it was so long, but at least now I can add this thread to my watch list and join in with the chat.

Right. And he fucking joined that cult too. And his dad is now married to Josie's mom. So now they're sibling.
This story was homophobic af lmao
But I generally forget Kevin is still a character, Josie too.

Thanks, I knew I was forgetting a bunch of stuff. I've never watched a show that was this all over the place.

There's even more with all the gangs in town XD. It's just too much.
-Toni and Cheryl decide to be cat burglers and get driven out of the Serpents.
-Toni forms the Pretty Poisons.
So there are now South Side Serpents, The Ghoulies (not really a thing), The Gargoyles, The Pretty Poisons and The Farmies.
I wonder what happened to the cheerleaders, the football team and the wrestling team lol
This is more complex and harder to keep track than shows like Fringe and Lost.
Holy shit, I forgot all about that cat burglar shit. That was so fucking random. That's how they left the Seperents in the first place.
And then Jughead had to talk to the water maintenence lady about the Egg which belonged to Hiram as payment for looking the other way for the drugged water

Lol... Oh yesssss that egg lol
Oh the other thing is that the nuns also died from a mass suicide and the farm bought the place and moved in.
What's wrong with this town.
One thing that has been bothering me is how the parents all went to school at the same time, and somehow managed to synchronise their reproduction cycle to the point that all their children are the same age.
That and the G&G thing made me wonder if the whole show was taking place in some magical simulation snowglobe.
It's unreal to consider what this show has become after how straightforward and concise S1 was.
I watched last week's ep in memory of Luke(RIP), and it's still an utter trainwreck. I just can't.
I didn't even know Veronica and Archie broke up, and I was like 'well ok then'.

Yeah the show is absolutely garbage. I summarized this to some people in one sentence
"In the span of one episode, Archie was recovering from being mauled by a bear to then taking the SATs" and I think that explained everything to the people I was explaining it to lol.
I thought the most recent episode was actually good though.

They completely jumped the shark this season. Pretty sure the show cannot be saved at this point.
LOL! Ok, let's say this season they did it very hard! And they kept jumping that shark continuously. Sometime multiple times in the same episode.
That poor shark...
I'm quite enjoying Jughead's mother, she's probably been the only thing I've liked about the show in a long time.
All the other parents (besides FP and Archie's dad who I've forgot the name of) are just awful.
I feel as though Hermione and Alice are completely different people to who they were in season one, and their personalities change from episode to episode to match whatever is happening with the plot.
And somebody needs to shoot Hiram ASAP.

Yeah after watching Wednesday's episode I was like "there's way too much shit going on".
And wait, what happened to that Kurtz guy and the rest of his gang?

They really need to converge the main 4's storylines. Veronica and Archie's are incredibly weak and the other 2 aren't much better. They really need 10 ep seasons... It's incredible how long they string out storylines. Remember when this season started with the Cooper's throwing their twins into the fire? Lol
I genuinely don't think I can watch it. The Carrie ep made me irrationally angry.
Damn, I'm watching season 3 of Riverdale on TV, but where I live it is a few weeks behind, so here this is the first episode with Luke Perry after the annoncement of his death...
The first thing Archie said after seing his dad is:
Dad! I've missed you so much, Dad.
And his dad replied:
Me too, son.
It hit me like a fucking ton of bricks.
I'm not crying. You're crying!

Oh my fucking god, and now I'm at this scene:
I'm not crying, it's just been raining on my face :(
Havent watched the most recent episodes yet. But im at requiem at welterweight. I can say this show is very fascinating in term of guilty pleasure. And is it me or everybody is turning into vigilante? The serpent, black dahlia, the red hood, the black hood, the man in black, pretty poisons. Everybody has codename
By that criteria, no.
By any other criteria, hell no, unless you really want a few minutes of Luke Perry in memoriam.
Ok, I want the least amount of Jughead possible so I skip less of the shows run time
Sounds like the butchered one of my favorite musicals in a worse way than I could have even imagined.
