Right in the start idiot Veronica complains (to her "daddy") how she didn't get into her backup school and doesn't know why, then proceeds with telling him the next one that she is going to try to get into, duh, who do you think is stopping you from getting in, wake the hell up Veronica!
That smug little punk Archie making the comment to FP that people die every day, even changing a tire, at least he would die with a bit of honor. I guess he thinks that his dad didn't die with honor? I would give Archie a good smack for that one!
Why must Veronica sing every damn episode?
When you think it can't get any more insane... introducing: killer hypnosis. I must say, I like seeing Evelyn again. I don't really know why but I always thought she was the only good thing that came from this Farm storyline and I was a little bit sad to see her go. But seriously though... Tangerine? So IF Jughead is really dead (which is a big IF... the writers would be crazy to let the most beloved main character go) it's because Betty is under hypnosis on a killing spree to kill her dark self. Can we just let dark Betty go already? It never worked.
Good seeing Mama Blossom again. We could have seen that one coming. I'm glad Cheryl didn't kill her. Penelope has always been one of my favorite characters. Glad they finally got rid of creepy Jason... I can't believe this entire storyline though. Toni is all up in that crazy, seemingly okay with it. This ruined the sweet romance between Cheryl and Toni for me. How would she be okay with her girlfriend keeping the body of her deceased twin! Glad it's over.
Veronica does not learn. She continues to blab all of her plans to Daddy dearest and ends up being surprised by his comebacks. Girl, just stop talking. At least this episode didn't feature the words 'Daddykins' or 'Archiekins'... cringe
Speaking of Archie... I hope the writers give him something else to do now. All this beating up people is getting old. I love the moment he had with his mom though and I'm interested in seeing who his uncle is.
every episode of this show is a rerun of vigilante!archie and veronica vs. hiram which is getting tired and boring. the dark betty storyline is also complete bs - how has she been hypnotised when she never lived at the farm? also, if alice was undercover while she was there, how did she get hypnotised? only polly was ever really a true follower so this just doesn't make sense to me. i'm enjoying s4 compared to 2 and 3 but i feel like it's not really going anywhere different so far
I never liked any of the Dark Betty plotlines, but it's gotten out of hand this season - first the serial killer gene and now her shadow self could be (or has been?) awakened like a sleeper agent through post-hypnotic suggestion... The writing is so clunky and over the top. But thank god Cheryl finally got rid of that creepy preserved body of her brother.
The one enjoyable part of this was the return of Evelyn, who was very creepy but fun to watch in her one scene.
Also these flashforwards to dead Jughead are feeling very "How to Get Away with Murder"-esque.
Thank goodness for Gina Torres. Framing the episode through Mrs. Burble's sessions as the new guidance counsellor was a very good choice and made for the most enjoyable episode of the season.
getting real tired of the veronica hiram hermione hate triangle - how many times are they going to run the same story?
Gina Torres, YES! She's always a delight to see on screen. That said: I feel like Mrs. Burble is there to put all of our fan feelings out there. Telling it how it is.
Veronica with her daddy issues.
Cheryl, no you're not crazy (but you will be if you keep this sh*t up) someone is messing with you.
Jughead, show some love for your old man
Betty and Alice.... I can't even.
And last but not least: Archie. Finally an adult telling him to stop being a frickin' vigilante because that is some very dangerous stuff he is doing. Not that he is going to listen. Archie does what Archie does.
I have a feeling that either Penelope Blossom is messing with Cheryl or Toni. Could it be Toni? I don't want to think it but my mind went straight to it after Cheryl's heart to heart with Mrs. Burble.
What year does this story take place in? Tape recorders & VHS tapes/players...seriously!
For me that might have been the best Riverdale episode in a long time.
I liked how serious these therapy sessions were and how they actually mentioned all the weird bs that's been happening non-stop. It's unfortunate how some of them didn't take the therapist's advice though (like Archie keeps trying to play superhero and Veronica once again declares war and Independence from her father instead of walking away from him), and I'm sure most of the advice and self-awareness will be forgotten anyway in the next episode.
I completely lost it when Holt danced saying "Derek"
I'm gonna need an entire episode of Frederick/Raymond backstory.
over rated Gina is over rated Gina. I'm sure she'll be back sometime in the future
Finally she's out. That whole assumed awesomeness of Gina thing was in fact just very annoying.
I was skeptical about this season, because I didn't really like the first few episodes, not to mention Gina's disappointing farewell, but these last few episodes always made my day. And I really hope we get to see Lin-Manuel Miranda again in the show! :)
kourtney i want a friend like you
holy crap, that duet between ashlyn and nini was so good. i literally got goosebumps.
also i just love ricky. he's so cute. his dancing skills kinda remind me of finn's from glee though
Excellent mini series all around. Almost makes me want to run out and grab the book to read (but that list is considerably longer than my movie list). If the last episode doesn't convince you of her guilt, I'm not sure what will. Ultimately it is a shame she never ran off with Jeremiah but that wouldn't have made a good story now would it?
I think Grace has developed some kind of split personality, as a coping mechanism for all the abuse and horrors and loss she has experienced.
This is supported by the fact that she has no memory of the events immediately after Mary’s death even though she was walking and talking to others around her, and her speaking as Mary while under hypnosis.
It would also explain why she always hears Mary telling her "Let me in". The second personality took over Mary’s characteristics (probably because she couldn‘t let Mary go, she was her best and only friend after all). This leads to all the gaps in her memory and her use of "Mary Whitney" as her alias while on the run.
I have to admit I‘m always disappointed if a murderer turns out to have a multiple personality disorder. I know that this show is based on a book which was first published in 1996, so I’m sure when the book came out this revelation was groundbreaking. But by now this has been done to death and is just boring for me. Apart from the ending I enjoyed this show a lot, I definitely recommend it.
I love the whole mini series, holds your attention and leaves you confused (in a good way) whether or not she is guilty and / or whether she has double personality or not.
In my opinion she is guilty of the murders and has double personality because of the past suffered that she had.
In short: A great series!
Grace spins a wondrous tale. Now to discern fact from fiction...Compelling start. My only regret is not starting the series sooner.
I wonder what version is the truth. The one Grace is telling or the one James McDermott wrote in his confession. Is Grace really innocent or is that all an act? Or is she schizophrenic?
I dislike literally every man on this show except Jeremiah.
Honestly, after seeing what idiots Nicholas and Alexandra were and the endless series of terribly bad decisions they made, it's a wonder they lived as long as they did. They really had ample opportunity to course correct.
I grew up with the animated movie, and so I always felt really bad for the Romanov family. Now, I feel like both parents made their beds. I just wish the kids hadn't been forced to pay for their parents' sins.
This was greatly entertaining and funny. One of my favourite episodes.
Besides, Joey wishing that chandler gets the job is one of the reasons why I love Chandler and Joey together. Bromance at its finest (:
Joey is a legend lol
Amazing how fast things turn sour. At the end of S7 I was in a spot where I could actually enjoy some episodes. But now we have all that R&R stuff coming up again and Mon and Chan behave like a grumpy old couple from the moment they got married.
This episode includes what I feel is the most JOEY moment ever. When they are eating the cheesecake off the floor, Joey walks up and pulls a fork out of his pocket "Alright. What are we having".
Damn this coffees cold...hey Rach do you mind if I heat this up on your loins?
