I am as surprised as anyone to be feeling this way, but I did a little fist pump when FP was all about bringing the band back together. Inexplicably, I missed the Serpents and their ever morphing mission statement/morality alignment. They are the most Riverdale thing in Riverdale.

I feel like that period has been the missing piece in all emphasis-based Chandler Bing impressions, well done!

Also this recruitment strategy is directly lifted from the 1990 film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles featuring Oscar-winner Sam Rockwell.

“That’s the general idea, that a person’s not defined by the worst part of themselves...”

I personally am holding out hope that Creepy Charles is a red herring. 1) It’s what everyone is expecting 2) having yet another family member in Betty’s life utterly betray her would start to feel distasteful at this point. Can a girl get a minute?

I’m calling it now, “no, bitch, it’s your sister” is the line reading of the season. Reinhart is the Patron Saint of Reactions. Though Vanessa Morgan is killing it right now, none of Cheryl’s nonsense would work at all without the heavy lifting of Toni’s arched brow.

The urgency they had in trying to stop Edgar getting into the rocket was low key the most amazing bananas thing in this amazing banana split sundae of an episode. Like he was going to get away!!! IN THE ROCKET!!! You could just let him take off and splat into the wall but ON PRINCIPAL, Alice Fucking Cooper needs to…

I do find it all very interesting, though I 100% agree that people make it about whether or not Lizzo or Taylor Swift or whoever is an asshole, where the situation is always A Lot More Nuanced Than That (tm Crazy Ex-Girlfriend).

“Oh, hey kids, having an illegal underage drinking party? Well, I’ll just tell you all to go drive home now.”

Without evil there can be no good so it must be good to be evil sometimes. 

But do you know when to stay in?

So I literally screamed WHOSE BABY IS THAT?!? at my husband until we landed on Juniper or Dagwood. Not sure which. Not sure why. But we gathered up that fever-dream like recollection by sheer force of will, which will happen when someone is screaming “SERIOUSLY WHOSE?!?”

That “I love your pants around your feet” song is actively offensive. Otherwise, I would agree...oh, well there’s that Rockstar song. No, no somethings really are that bad.

For me the big red flag on this is that they have the same representation. Likely not the same agent, but the same firm. The pay gap in the original contract plus the contingency for reshoots is a wildly huge discrepancy. You pay agents to represent you properly, to make sure you get a fair shake, and if Williams’…

Both Wahlberg and Williams were represented by the same talent agency. Both parties thought they were doing a favor to Ridley Scott for the reshoots. One interpreted the favor as doing it for practically free. Another interpreted the favor as doing it for only $1.5 million.

Thank God someone gave this line the credit it deserves so I don't have to. 

It’s kind of odd that in the Age of Peak TV people are still trying to cram any book over 400 pages into a single movie.

Ruth was railing at the entire universe in that moment. She knows as much as the audience does that not getting THAT part in THAT movie is a bad sign. The easiest thing to do is pretend she somehow got screwed over than that she really, truly just might not be any good at this. 

When the first notes of that song kicked up, I made a little “ooof” sound out loud. God, that was a perfect choice for that moment.

I think his story does actually tie-in thematically with many of the women’s narratives this season also, which I would summarize as grappling with when to hang on and when to walk away.
