Riverdale |OT| Woah, Black Betty!
- Thread starter ZeroX
- Start date
Ha yeah, that escalated quickly. Enjoyed that episode, that's the kind of Riverdale crazy I signed up for.
Sabrina honestly feels more grounded than this show now. Riverdale started off as a decent teen drama based off of an awesome IP and has since devolved into... I honestly don't even know. The writers genuinely do not give a shit anymore, which sucks because of how talented so many of the actors are.
There was a moment a few episodes ago where Josie basically said "This shit is crazy, I'm fucking outie." which is the most sensible thing said or done by a character since the first season.

This week's episode was the most I enjoyed for a while just because of how much it leaned into the craziness.
My favourite part of the show is how they've called the autopsy guy Dr Curdle, and made him look creepy as fuck, because of course you have to be a bit weird to do a job like that 😂

Today is the finale right? But im not seeing it trending on twitter.
Btw why is it categorized under netflix original while it is owned by CW? Is this kind of like partnership?

This episode felt so rushed and nothing made sense besides:
though that small bit should had been solved earlier.
But the whole thing:
Cheryl's mom being the big bad all along.
But the whole thing:
With Betty's mom being with a FBI doesnt make sense. She sold her house, gave away all her belongings, her money, private information about herself and kids, and endangered herself and daughters by participating in this. Not to mention the escalation and spread to the entire town. No. This is not how real life works. It's either a lie and Betty & Jughead are stupid as fuck characters. Or the writers having Veronica say "That checks out" in order to further this missing brother plot and say everything makes sense. No it doesn't.
This show is steaming hot garbage yet I keep watching because its excellent junk food. But this is just unhealthy at this point.

Well, that was a finale.
At long last, I'm finally free of this batshit show lol
Lmao, you're so right, it doesn't make any fucking sense the longer you think about

No, I meant I'm done watching lol
Told myself I'd bow out after S3, y'all here forever, not me! D:
I've been done since giving S3 a chance, really. I'll come back if and ONLY if Sabrina crossover happens.
Ha you're getting hung up on about the least crazy thing this show has ever done, maybe even the least crazy thing in this episode.
I'll be back next season. Most of the shows I watch have ended or are ending so I don't have much left. Overall I did enjoy most of this season for the most part although some storylines went on too long.
Of course they have to leave us with that flash forward to try and keep us locked in.

I look forward to Season 4 Kevin having absolutely 0 recollection of what happened to him this season.
Swamp gas the whole cast. They really need to do a reboot next season and maybe look to reducing the cast list. At least Josie got to get out lol
Hollllyyy sheeet! What happens at the sneak peek!! That plot twist with fbi, can someone help to explain how that blood relation works? I have kinda forgotten it
And what is that? Bloodborne?
And what is that? Bloodborne?
Charles is FP and Alice's son.
That makes him half brother to Jughead and Betty.
Also holy shit this show is amazing trash
Well, I mean, we have the next season to look forward to where Betty offers Jughead as a sacrifice to the moon presence and everyone partakes of its blood and starts turning into monsters while Hiram who was keeping the first flame alive finally dies and Archie needs to choose between offering himself as kindling so the cycle can continue or usher in the age of dark by letting the first flame die. Also a new samurai gang move in lead by a guy that can't die but everyone comes down with a real nasty cough.
There will also be time travel and a musical episode based around zombies.

Lol I loved this finale. Does Riverdale even make sense anymore? Nope (it actually stopped during what, the second half of the first season lol?). But I still enjoy it. A lot tbh.
Tho let's say Betty's mom is with the FBI... we still have no frigging explanation of the levitating babies. And now I guess we have the ascension too (tho I guess we'll know what happened to them pretty quickly next season).

I think the show finally did it. I think it finally killed my motivation to watch it. That episode tried to carry so much weight and be so significant, but none of it landed for me. The stakes were nonexistent. The twists were mostly nonsensical. Its attempts at references and to tie three seasons of plots together whiffed for me. I think I'm just over it.
Also, what did they even do with Kevin? What sad state has that character been left in? I guess all the characters are kind of messed up at this point to some degree, though, so it's not just Kevin who has lost it.
That flash forward is probably the reason why I WON'T watch Season 4. It finally convinced me I'm dumb for ever hoping the show would tone itself down and mellow out. If that final scene had happened without the flash forward, I might have given Season 4 a shot. But that scene left such a bad taste in my mouth.
If only, if only...
I felt the AV Club review spoke to me a lot with its discussion of what the show excels at and what some fans would like to see from this show.

If you take the show as a teen soap opera parody, you will find it way up much better
I think the floating babies were just a hallucination from the drug contaminated water from Claude Blossom that was causing all the seizures.
I really think the show is just kind of a crazy ride, I really don't know what people want from it. I mean if you think about Twin Peaks after season 1 it really got crazy and campy too. I just tune in and relish in the absurdity.
Netflix slaps "Netflix Original" on every series or movie they show first in any territory wether they own it or not. Star Trek Discovery and Better Call Saul are Netflix Originals in germany for example while House of Cards is not.
Yeah it's there throughout the entire season. I loved it too although I think it went on a little too long.
I'm super behind - left off shortly after Betty set the house on fire. You mean to say that
Penelope is the Gargoyle King? Or did they advance beyond that as the Big Bad?
She is the Gargoyle King. She was the person who first talked about the board game to get everyone to play. She lived at the Sisters of Quite Mercy so that was her means of learning about the game. And she was the only Garogoyle player at Accension night that could had planned it since she was the main DM.
Honestly the only problem with their decision of the big bag was the reasoning for that person's actions was stupid. But I guess that's Riverdale in a nutshell.
Well I finally caught up to the end of this season
I can't even process it, it was just sheer madness

Just finished season 3, and I think I'm out. The insanity has just gone too far, and it's just not fun anymore. Stories feel like they're being written on the fly, rather than thought out ahead of time. I think the new Nancy Drew show might be a good alternative. The trailer gave me season one vibes, where things were super exaggerated but not insane. Good luck to everyone who decides to stick around for season 4.
Another fucking musical episode 😭. Why do they keep forcing these episodes in? Does anyone actually like them?
Season 3 was honestly the most amazing most bonkers 22 hours of television I have ever seen.
Edit: I'm reading through the last few pages of this thread and I'm shocked at how up in arms and disappointed everyone is about this season. Like what show were you hoping this was going to be? Riverdale from episode 1 has been about cramming in a season's worth of batshit plotlines into a single episode and continuing to do so for 22 episodes. The entire premise from the outset "jumped the shark." I just want to see this ski ramp launch the writer's room into space and then have them jump space sharks. Shoot for the moon sharks Riverdale. I'll be patiently awaiting the big mess of Season 4 next year.
At least I'm not bored like the glacial pace of Sabrina.

Season 1 is still built around these kids, their romantic lives and their dreams. Archie as a musician/football player for instance.
Exactly, it felt like a natural retake on the comics, with just enough realism and teenage angst to keep it interesting.
It's become Sharknado levels of stupid, and that's an insult to Sharknado.
