And I totally didn't realize it was a new Reggie. I thought s1 Reggie just got a good makeover with a better haircut.

Forgot Tony Todd in my character ranking. Somewhere in the high middle.

Yeah Archie is hella dumb. God he’s pretty though

How did Penelope recover from her 3rd degree burns so quickly? That should have taken months or longer to heal. That is my burning question.

what do we think of jughead as the omniscient narrator?
kinda weird but i enjoy it
like how does he know all these things yet is so busy with the serpents, writing a book, spending time with betsy, and still manages to sleuth around and know everything
― infinity (∞), Friday, 29 December 2017 17:26 (six years ago) link
i like jug but he is runnerup in dumbnesshis bookishness is just a good cloak for baaaaad decision makinglike that peppermint patty lawyer stunt with the cutting off the tattoo DONT U COME BACK HERE NO MORE it’s like college degree level dumbness but it’s still AS dumb as anything archie has pulled
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 29 December 2017 17:44 (six years ago) link
i like him as narrator thoughkind of a corny sam spade vibe or something
otm

― infinity (∞), Friday, 29 December 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link

lol otm.
been watching this with my wife, we're about 7 eps in. i think we like it but kinda undecided so far.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 05:20 (six years ago) link
the cutting off the tattoo scene seemed a bit much! like i know jugg is supposed to have bit of edge now he's a serpent but slicing off a layer of flesh off a woman's arm with a knife is kind of fucked

Not sure why Archie is wrestling. He can barely handle playing football and his other interests. Don't start another sport Arch.
as i said on twitter, if Archie doesnt wrestle Reggie I will throw my tv out the window. i’m counting on u Gregg Araki

Sorry guys, I tried.
It's great looking and I appreciate the appeal to the gay male gaze (Archie is literally introduced via a gay character staring at him through a window), but this is otherwise quite dreadful. The dialogue is the worst; in a just world, Kevin Williamson and Diablo Cody will one day be called to answer for their crimes against screenwriting.

I think the reason I love Riverdale IS that it’s so caricatured, the corny dialogue & ridiculous situations make it v enjoyable for me. But I also really like Gotham, which is even dumber & more ott

I stalled out a couple of episodes into the second season - there's a lot of good there but it's just too arch.
― louise ck (milo z), Sunday, 15 April 2018 22:35 (six years ago) link
I'll say this: if I kept watching, I'd be interested in seeing if the show ends up doing anything with the Hitchcockian touch of the resemblance between Archie and the murder victim.
Really, it just came down to my figuring out that watching all 13 episodes of the first season would take up a bit over 6.5 hours of my life, which perhaps doesn't sound like much, but I tend to measure these things in terms of what else I could be watching in that time, and I have a whole stack of promising DVDs checked out of the library at the moment (not to mention countless hours of unwatched movies in my PVR) and the numbers just didn't work out in the show's favour.

I mean, it’s essentially a wacky soap opera. Love it.

i never paid much attention to Skeet Ulrich except thinking he was hot, but I am v much enjoying him as FP. And obv, crushing on him in a major way.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 15 April 2018 23:55 (six years ago) link
I am stalling out in season 2 also. Trying to make it through (it's a long season!)

The Carrie episode is coming up. Too big to fail right there.
