Yeah but apparently even Howard Stern knew he was wrong as fuck.

Yeah, people are definitely reacting to this without reading the original story. (Many did the same with Louis CK—they just read his “apology” and based their responses on that—but I guess more of them got called out on it.)

I wonder if the reveal is actually going to turn Archie against them now.

Even though I was eager to learn that Adams wasn’t really FBI, now I’m almost disappointed—snarling, threatening Agent Adams was suddenly potentially interesting. Like Adams was intentionally kind of bland in order to sucker Archie in, but now he…

I love that they had her shoot arrows for three seconds just so they could put that in the episode preview. Classic Cheryl.

Also (pardon the consecutive posts) let’s all pause to give Jughead props that his first concerns were that maybe he’d moved Betty too fast* or been inattentive to her pleasure. Bad gangland prince but good sex partner!

*Extra adorable because, as much as guys are apt to willfully misinterpret women’s signals, “I want…

So what are our theories on Chic now? Does he Need To Be Stopped at some point? Or is he just a fucked-up kid with a hard life, trying to deal with the sudden reappearance of the family that abandoned him? Cuz it’s adorable that Alice is trying to solve everything with too much food, but maybe some family counseling…

I was half-convinced it was a trick—that Archie was going to confess and THEN plant the bug.

I still have faith they’ll come back to it. Foolish, foolish faith.

Did anyone else think Mayor McCoy was going to make an announcement about her open marriage and her ethnically non-monogamous relationship with Sheriff Keller? I wanted Keller’s wife there on Skype saying, “Yeah I’m cool with it!”

That’s what I thought her “getting ahead of the narrative” or whatever was going to be.

It unnerves me how good Skeet Ulrich is in this show.

Yeah it’s so bizarre to me that so many men are admitting they don’t see anything wrong with Aziz’s moves. Why are guys so eager to announce that they’re terrible at sex? Like, traumatically terrible?

I get that you think you’re making a joke but I’m on the fence about that with most men so.

Man did he blow that one. The question was, “Some people are worried that #metoo is going to mean no more sexy movies, are you worried about that?” And then he said no. Which is great! That’s a really stupid worry to have!

...but then for some reason he kept going. For some reason he thought, “I’m not worried about…

Cuz he’s so, so scared about the mean mean ladies!

I mean, I think he’s wrong, and if he were my friend on Facebook I’d probably unfriend him, but it’s hard to get riled up about that kind of patheticness when it’s so far away.

Well, most women didn’t need to know it, because we knew it already, but a lot of people apparently still need to hear, “A lot of men treat women badly in ways that aren’t illegal but still really suck.”

That publicist needs to move a little quicker.

When she said “it wouldn’t matter” that it was self-defense (or mom-defense or whatever), I took that to mean because Chic is a sex worker from the wrong side of the tracks, so the justice system would lock him up anyway.

(Or, of course, because it wasn’t really self-defense and Alice knows it.)

I had the exact same thoughts.
