Damn, episode 4 was crazy, even for Riverdale.
I didn't think that the plot with the Farm could possibly go off the rails this much.
It's like they knew they only had Chad for one episode so they just blew the entire plotline up with comic excess.

His persona was just weird in this episode. He was always crazy (obviously, he's a cult leader), but in season 3 it felt more like an understated, twisted religious zealot way. Here he turned into a full anime villain.It's like they knew they only had Chad for one episode so they just blew the entire plotline up with comic excess.

At first I thought this was insane, which it definitely was, but then I realized it was kind of genius as an homage to 70s B-movies. The quick zoom to Edgar on the stairs, the beret, the rocket and Evel Knievel jumpsuit. After this episode though, I really think they wasted the character of Edgar last season and the entire cult storyline if he was capable of this amount of excessive villainy.It's like they knew they only had Chad for one episode so they just blew the entire plotline up with comic excess.

I didn't mind how it looked (the costume etc.), but it just made so little sense in the scope of general story, that it was hilarious.
I'm glad we're done with the Farm subplot, but most of the ones we have left don't seem interesting at all.
For Archie, it feels like we're going through the "Archie has his heart in the right place, but is an idiot" story again.
With Jug, I understand that the writers wanted to make Bret (?) seem petty, but the way he went from 0 to 100 was kind of an overkill. That said, it's Riverdale we're talking about, so in this sense everything was perfectly normal.
I'm curious where the Cheryl plot is going to go, now that Toni knows.
Or Dynasty less soapy?I spent an hour shouting at my television with this episode. The rocket, the beret, Mr. Lodge wandering out of prison at will, chest bursting rats, Archie fights heard of toughs in a scene lit like a Refn movie and Jughead tumbles headlong into Hogwarts for Bret Easton Ellis.
How is it that Sabrina which is about magic and bullshit more grounded than this?
Had trouble watching the latest episode, because I just *couldn't* process what had occurred previously.
Betty:
1.) Diffused a bomb
2.) Stole a bus
3.) Got knocked out / locked up
4.) Escaped confinement with her mother
5.) Confronted Edgar Evernever with said mother, who was inexplicably dressed as Evil Fucking Kineval attempting to escape in a fucking homemade rocket
6.)???
7.) Shits all good and nobody is going to mention all of that was definitely a fever dream
I liked the show in the previous seasons but now they're just going crazy with it and it's just getting ridiculous. There are like 5 different plots going on in one episode and suddenly they are finished and nobody talks about them anymore...
Well, things sure are happening. I hate how Archie's arc is yet another "he means well, but his execution is extremely stupid so he is needlessly putting himself in danger". Is it the 3rd time, 4th time?
Also, who else thinks that those weird timeskips we've been getting since the end of last season are Jughead trying out his "perfect murder" irl? I'd say it goes poorly, but I doubt they'd kill him off. Or maybe it's just showing the events of his book, but using Riverdale characters or something.
So I'm guessing Jughead's 'death' is part of his perfect murder writing project.
How the hell is Nancy Drew, a show straight up dealing with Ghosts and Possession, more grounded than fucking Riverdale.
I can't even imagine a season 2 of Nancy DrewGive it time. Riverdale S1 was (comparatively) pretty grounded too.
We already got J-horror and straight-up possession. Next season's gonna have zombies.
Sounds fun. Is it good? Cold be interesting to watch while waiting for Sabrina.
It's...exactly what you would expect out of "Nancy Drew on the CW".
I know literally nothing about Nancy Drew ahah. I'm not from the US (nor did I know English as a kid), so her books weren't really popular where I live growing up.
I think I'm gonna give it a try.
I don't think I've ever seen a more show jump the shark more than Riverdale in season 3. What the fuck was that.
I thought season 2 was dumb, but I'm only 4 episodes into S3 and this shit is off the rails. Should I just cut bait?
Slow motion sexy approaches to crime scenes while nu pop plays?It's...exactly what you would expect out of "Nancy Drew on the CW".
season 4 is trying it's best to out stupid season 3I thought season 2 was dumb, but I'm only 4 episodes into S3 and this shit is off the rails. Should I just cut bait?
Slow motion sexy approaches to crime scenes while nu pop plays?
she fucks a lot with CW's new initiative it seems where the women initiate sex. Started with Nancy Drew then Riverdale's Nancy Drew, BettySlow motion sexy approaches to crime scenes while nu pop plays?
"There's no way the witness will tell us what he saw, he refuses to talk."she fucks a lot with CW's new initiative it seems where the women initiate sex. Started with Nancy Drew then Riverdale's Nancy Drew, Betty
Everything said about how even further off the deep end this show went by episode 3 of S4 is absolutely true.
That sex thing is weird. Like you got pregnant young, be glad your kid takes birth control.
