The one 16 year old girl says she's supposed to be "this great detective", the other 16 year old girl buys a bar and trades it for a diner and the third 16 year old gets crowned king of the Serpents. I don't think the writers even remember their ages at this point.
I'm not happy with the way this whole Black Hood season ended. It really feels like the writers had no idea who they wanted to put under the hood and halfway through the season they heard the theory of Hal being the Black Hood and they decided to roll with it like two episodes before the finale. For once there are no subtle hints for it to be him before episode 20 and on the other hand the whole reasoning and execution at the end felt hollow and cheap, especially the part about THE DARKNESS™. I thought at least one of the adults would finally address this as mental illness, but nope. Don't think we'll ever get to see any of them in therapy either.
Three things that I'm curious about - Chic, Alice's dead son and Polly.
Chic just disappeared and we still don't know anything. Was there even a point to begin with? I thought his creepiness would be relevant somehow, but nothing happened. I'm wondering if he'll come back next season.
Then there's Alice's dead son. I was actually thinking he's not dead because we really didn't get to see anything about him. It felt really tragic to know that Alice saw him and closed the door in his face, but I thought it would connect more with the overall story or with Chic.
And then there's Polly who definitely had something going on. I wonder if we know this mysterious guy who helped her or if her mother will get dragged into a weird cult. And I actually find this much more interesting than the cliffhanger that Archie is arrested (I was sure there would be some bloodshed after Jug's weird announcement) and Hiram is still planning to deal drugs on the New Southside. I was actually hoping for him to leave Riverdale or go to prison at the end of the season, but apparently his cheap mobster story will continue.
And even after all these complaints every week I'm still excited to watch new episodes and do enjoy it. It's over the top and crazy but at the same time I find it so entertaining :D
"I mean do you know how many girls I've slept with? Like a lot. Classifies me as a player or something and my best friends used to think I was the fucking best. Hannah, she sleeps with one guy. She has a crush on another guy, being me. And she kisses a third, being you. And it's whatever, it's all fine, right? All of a sudden, she's a slut? All of a sudden, you don't know who she is? You're a dumbass."
I didn't expect that speech from Justin. I just want to slowly clap it out. Well said.
All in all I find the sudden relationship between Zach and Hannah really, well, sudden, but not necessarily unrealistic. Maybe I'm a bit biased though because I do like Zach (even though he's not perfect and I really hope he'll go against Bryce and Monty soon), and I think Zach and Hannah were really cute together.
They're definitely a better fit than Clay and Hannah. Maybe it's because Clay's so young or maybe Hannah's his real first love, but he simply admired her too much. He put her on a pedestal and viewed her as this perfect, innocent, flawless human being. Even Hannah's mother said that Clay thought she was perfect. And now he sees that she did have other people in her life, that she liked other boys and that he wasn't her saving knight in shining armor.
And I don't find it unrealistic that she freaked out when Clay was getting close to her. Flashbacks and panic doesn't appear when it's convenient. Maybe she was fine with Zach, but then she felt betrayed by him and it just hit her when she got close to Clay.
