Honestly, it really does get better with each episode! I think I was officially hooked somewhere around episode 5 or 6 - and then it just gets even crazier and campier from then on! I started watching it more out of curiosity, fully assuming I would hate this CW version of my beloved childhood Archie comics, but it…

…and didn't notice that she went away on vacation for 5 months or so. ;)

I wanted Kyle MacLacklan to play Hiram Lodge! That would have been such amazing stunt casting!

Isn't Chic a nickname for Charles from the 50's? Maybe they can call him Charlie? I kinda like that lots of the characters have old-fashioned names or go by nicknames. It's retro chic (see what I did there?) ;)

Yes! Everyone should go watch the movie. It's a real haunting gem.

Yeah, I read somewhere that originally they had it that Reggie was going to be a major suspect in the murder investigation. But I guess they had to scrap that plotline when Ross had scheduling conflicts.

They announced the Reggie recast earlier today. They cast Charles Melton.

I kinda want Trevor Stines to play Betty's long-lost brother (only as a blonde) now that it's been suggested on the finale recap at Screen Junkies News: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
That would be yet another tie-in to Twin Peaks, where they had the actress who played Laura Palmer come back on the show as her…

Aw man, that would be so cool! But wouldn't that make Joaquin like 25? And he was dating Kevin who can't be older than 16. Eep…

Zoinks! Loved the Scooby-Doo reference!

I just saw that movie on Netflix a while ago & I too was reminded of the ice-punching scene from that movie while watching Archie do the same thing on Riverdale.
Don't go out on the ice, kids!
There's not always gunna be a strapping, hot dude around to punch his way through the ice and rescue you! ;P

He's got at least 3 "S" shirts. I've noticed a grey one & a blue one + maybe one other color…a burgundy one maybe? The "S" is always distressed though, so maybe some viewers haven't been noticing it.

That scene broke my heart. Jughead trashing his Dad's already trashed trailer (why do cops always have to destroy the home they're searching…seems superfluous) and then breaking down sobbing on the floor. I'm a glutton for punishment (and apparently a cute actor who can cry convincingly on screen), so I may have…

Maybe Pop is also slipping a little something extra into his milkshakes to keep customers coming back… (*cough* crack *cough*)

"My Mom thinks I'm cool" - Archie Andrews :/

Awwwwwwkward
That's why Betty closes the laptop so fast.
You watched it - you can't *unwatch* it! ;P

He could just say "He's my therapy dog!" as his excuse when bringing Hot Dog into public places like Pop's.

She legit has a creepy shrine to Jason in her walk-in closet.
And has been obsessively collecting any object that might retain traces of his DNA.
"We have enough money to clone JJ, right Daddy?"

Aaand the brief snippet of "Bette Davis Eyes" (cover) by Rogue Wave. Perfect song choice because it's a cover of an 80's song (retro tie-in for the reunion) and cuz Jughead was staring out the window at his lovely lady Betty! They have had some seriously great tunes on this show, I always have to research them after…

It was more along the lines of, "I wouldn't have ever associated with someone like her if she wasn't your friend & we weren't dating." But he lumped in Kevin in that statement too. So basically anyone who's outgoing and somewhat shallow and gossipy is on Jughead's deal-breaker list, in terms of what he's looking for…
