I was still rooting for Norman during the Norma/Norman/Romero showdown

I'll miss all 4 of the Bates.

Can we salvage Dule Hill & Laverne Cox from Doubt for this show? Maybe have them be a recurring rival firm? These actors need showcasing & this could sooo be the show to do it.

This Josie is already more interesting than any other version of Josie before her (look at the 1970's cartoon for proof - even back then, Val was the Pussycat doing all the intellectual heavy-lifting (& Melody was comedy-relief)(Alexandra was one of the groupies, not a Pussycat technically). Sure they need to flesh…

Massive pecs.

CBS is trying to launch a pilot episode about the maple syrup industry, hence the Elementary episode & bullying the WB into including it in Riverdale, so they have a ready-built universe to exploit.

Valerie is awesome - my dad & I have literally been counting how many lines of dialogue she's gotten in each episode & i was left in a temporary coma after this ep, due to happiness. Also loved the grinning Jughead wearing the suit but keeping the beanie on!

& is her mincing chicken or beef?

I liked him in this & in Gilmore Girls, but i'd rather see him star in his own vehicle-show now, not reappear on this because his character sort of ended in the right spot/got the happiest ending at the conclusion of the good wife. Would love for Alan Cummings to appear again though.

Season 5 (& arguably the first half of season 6 from the roll-on dominoes effect that season 5 starts) - some of the finest television in existence.

train or Train??

both of those franchises are smaller-scale, almost made for tv movies that somehow got cinematic releases. & it's Marigold.

To be fair, the writing quality for her character went downhill quite fast & it wasn't great to start with.

the appropriate word is bonkers

Rook!

I don't know that Archie's dad or V's mum can really be all those adjectives. They & Weatherbee can be described as clueless but the rest are fairly inapplicable.

The show's only been around 3 episodes - pretty sure Kevin isn't even played by a main cast member. Give them a chance to deepen him.

Supergirl's Cat Grant, not Smallville's version.

What are you talking about? Blood is s*xy! That's what all the CW's vampire & zombie shows tell us!

I still felt the pain, but it could have admittedly been worse.
