It actually also makes sense because back in the day, he and Polly were planning to fake his death and flee and in the aftermath she left her home and the Blossom estate for The Farm. So clearly they’ve been entangled in Riverdale for a very long time leading up to this.

I think so too: to suddenly kill off Fred, when everybody knows that Perry died so soon and so tragically, would drag down the high camp tone of the show, so wedging it in currently would be a mistake. I assume there’ll be something at the very end of the finale along the lines of the phone ringing at the Andrews’…

There’s no way Jason is the real Gargoyle King... that would imply that next week Trevor Stines will actually be allowed to speak.

Just like he always wanted.

It is hard to imagine how Kevin comes back from this as a character. There’s that weird phase you went through your junior year and then there’s being down a kidney, cult-married and selling your classmates out to an organ harvester. It does feel like a waste of Casey Cott, I always like him even when his character is…

I see that this was yet another episode where the show exploited Kevin as a character to try to make people feel sorry for Betty and root for Betty (even though the steady ratings drop from her and Jughead being the central focus should have told the show how much general viewers are desperate for such heavy push).…

Cheryl: This is the worst crazy cult I’ve ever belonged to

“my town”

Hiram: “i’m gonna beat the SHIT out of this teenager”

Trash Talking Tina is the best!

Honestly, the parrot showing up in the credits was one of my favorite moments in an overall enjoyable episode. The fact that Bob is only willing to buy the pipe for the kids if it counts as everyone’s birthday present for the year was my second favorite. 

There is a lot of talk in these well written reviews (and thank you for them!) about how hard it is to build a story around Gene. I think Linda is the more problematic character. I really enjoy Linda as a side character adding some jokes and general ridiculousness. But in the few instances where I bounce off a BB…

Bob’s Burgers gets a (sort of) Ripped-From-The-Headlines episode! The timing makes it a curiosity but yeah, it was pretty weak. Loved the kids with the random piece of pipe and getting someone else to deal with it when it got all grody. And good thing Bob got over his fear of pigeons/thinking he was Tippi Hedren,…

The B-plot definitely came out on top this week. Any story that revolves around Bob unintentionally making things worse out of the most trivial of situations never fails to make me laugh, and this one was no exception.

I noticed Bob glancing to the side at one point, and kept expecting the camera to pan over to Bob’s less-than-thrilled companion, be it Linda or Teddy.

“Oh crap! I forgot my hardhat!”
“Why would you need a hardhat?”
“Because I’m about to demolish you.”

Isn’t that just the magic of this show, though? No character is too lightly-drawn to be taken seriously under the right circumstances, shichh is what makes them so human. 

“Cars don’t run on batteries, idiot! They run on gas, and batteries! Dammit!”

ooooo.... vanilla.

I loved seeing Bob at Cake. His face was pure joy.
