Well, other than Will's Spidey-senses at least he got a bit of a break this season...10/10 for this season. Hooper ain't dead! You dont kill a main character off that easy.
I laughed, I cried... Fantastic episode. Really hope "The American" is Hopper.
I loved that one shot of them sitting in the car, chased by the monster, listening to Dusty sing, and just looking at each other and thinking "WTF?!?".
Of course they gotta make Billy good just before killing him off. He even apologized to Max, her reaction to him dying (+ the scene in the sauna previously, and her trying to talk him back when he charged before them earlier in this episode), goes to show she really must have cared, and he must’ve too. Guess him surviving and them getting a better/ healthier sibling bond was nothing but a fantasy.
Hopper too, like damn, why you making me cry like this.
Darkest hospital ever.
It's getting progressively harder to remember these are supposed to be high school kids when they act and look like 20-something year olds.
The Scottish wedding was such a weird choice. Bagpipes and kilts? Color me utterly confused.
Also, bat versus gun.I so wonder which one would win
On the bright side, Cheryl is still as much a psycho as she's always been, one of the only things that still keeps this show interesting.
Why is Hermione being a bitch this season? She was likeable in the beginning.
Nick getting beat up by a group of girls made me laugh tbh, it was awesome, but also like wtf lol.
What the fuck is up with the Serpants, it seem like Sweet Pea (ridiculous name) is the leader but he is basically a child, so?? Maybe they should have someone grown take that role so it all seem a little less silly...
Alice, oh Alice. Her entrance took me back to FP randomly calling her hot and be being like, “eh that was odd”, but FP was more than on to something, hot damn, she looked stunning!
I support Archie/Betty, so I loved the final sequence, but damn, my favourite scene of this episode has got to be Alice confronting F.P. at Pop's. My god, the sexual tension between those two is hot! I mean, was that F.P. suggesting Alice to leave Hal, her husband?! There's history between those two, and I can't wait until it's finally revealed.
i feel like i’m making this show up in real time as it happens.
I knew it would happen sooner or later, but I'm not ready for Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle.
How does Archie go from supportive "There's no pressure for you to say I love you back" boyfriend to a whiny little brat because she still didn't say it literally in the same scene 0.2 seconds apart?
I had forgotten about Archie and Veronica's musical ambitions until that uncomfortable karaoke. Why won't the writers let the music plotline die.
Right. One of the reasons Daddy Lodge got a problem with Archie is the lack of Spanish... when all Spanish that family seem to know is ‘mija’ lol.
Good episode but when are we going to get back to the Black Hood? I liked the serial killer in a small town storyline.
Also, Jughead is getting way in over his head, we get it, you're a serpent now and you defend your land but when all other serpents are laying low, adjusting even, he is just making everything so much worse.
And when did Kevin Keller get so big? Damn those muscles!?
Also, a Cooper and a Blossom, what could come out of that? Curious :)
I am forever in love with FP Jones. Anyway, this episode, it was a good episode, more development in the plot.
I keep wondering what Chic is up to, that is one interesting character to follow.
The kids were a lot smarter last season, now they're dumb most of the time. I can't stand Chip nor his story, we know, he's crazy, get over it and tell us something more interesting
I'm so done with Veronica being a selfish and fake person almost all the episodes this season, and also her mafia annoying family. Thank god for Jughead because he is seeing all Hiram bad plans. Betty will help him and Fred too. Archie continues to be dumb and blind, nothing new. Cheryl continues to be amazing and I'm loving her relationship with Toni.. Cheryl deserve some happiness.. Enough of this mess with her crazy and awful mother. Great episode.
Cheryl’s storyline is making me wanna drop this show, annoying as fuck....
I love musicals and this one was pretty good... Cheryl, Toni, Betty and Josie singing got me pregnant.. Was expecting a Choni kiss God damn it..and Cheryl, I love you so much! Show your mother! And nice detail, Toni's rainbow shirt. Also, love Alice but cmon getting back with Hal, we want FP and so do you? And the final scene, poor Midge
Some spoiler-heavy observations from this episode:
- Why does this show insist on making the cast sing all the time. This is not normal.
- You know your town has a problem when the cheer-leading team has an alternate uniform for funerals.
- "He OD'd on jingle jangle" is the DUMBEST line of dialogue ever uttered in a drama series.
- Betty HAD A GUN and did nothing to stop and finally end the Black Hood. I understand that was the only way to get rid of Chic easily, but that's still poor motivation considering how hard Betty fought to catch the Black Hood for most of the season.
- All signs point to Mr. Cooper as the Black Hood now. Not sure if it's a red herring, but that seems once again to be the obvious culprit considering the clues (knowing about the Nancy Drew codebook for instance). With Clifford Blossom last season and now potentially Hal as the murderous evil-doers, I think this show's writers might have some daddy issues.
"My SPIES tell me you're out campaigning for your father" lol
You needed "spies" to know that, Mr Lodge?
After the oh so sucky last episodes, the musical one specially, they finally recovered with this one.
The "Hot Riverdale Dads" walking into Pop's together is easily the highlight of this episode.
Just when you think Riverdale can't surprise you anymore and that you're prepared for all the weird things, they'll come at you with an episode like this. What a wild ride. I don't even want to admit it, but I still enjoyed it.
Though a big part of me just wants to make fun of so many small details. I can't even write them all down. Let me just say that Cheryl dressing up as Little Red is exactly the kind of extra I expect from her, I'm sure Jughead is not dead, please don't let Hal have a secret twin and last but not least I can't believe we still have one more episode because that absolutely felt like a season finale.
Funny that Fangs was killed by a single gunshot, yet Jughead will, somehow, survive getting thrashed by a whole gang.
This season would have been hell of alot better if we'd gotten to this point sooner, however crazy this all is. If they'd cut out all that teen drama in the middle of the season or maybe kept it tight it'd been as much fun as the 1st one. Let's be clear, this isnt award winning stuff, all. We need are kids dealing with scenarios way greater than themselves and coming out on top. The middle of of this season had way too much nonsense going on.
Very good episode. But I don't know how Cheryl managed to wear a red outfit after escaping from the window! lol
This was very thrilling, chaotic, and non-stop action. Almost a little too much action.
Small fry is not SMALL though, haha!
Can't wait for the next episode. It's going to be great, hopefully.
Yes! This was an amazing and super intense episode. I loved everything! Plus finally some a Choni moments. But I never really liked Jughead and the only thing that I was upset about at the end was how sad the others were
felt like I'm in Gotham city, oh God.. this episode left me in shock.
Seeing the hot Riverdale dads again and getting screen time for the two pet dogs, Hot Dog and Vegas, are easily, easily the top highlights of this season premiere.
