Haha, I know. It made sense for the character, but I did like how Hiram was all “I HAD TO SAY YES, HE CHALLENGED ME IN FRONT OF _BUSINESS ASSOCIATES_” and I’m pretty sure IRL even mob guys would be all “uh, you’re actually taking a challenge from a high schooler seriously?”

I don’t think it’s just hypnosis. When Betty had the wax in her ears, it looked like Edgar carried her off to a separate room, rather than a weird mental place. At least the shot of Betty being put into the room made me think it was a physical location, not a visual metaphor.

Though thanks for explaining Cheryl; I had…

(and yeah, I like Casey Cott a lot and wish they’d give him better material!)

Yeah — it’s weird how they were trying to sell Kevin as Betty’s GBF™, when basically since, say, S2, all he’s done is actively impeded her. Hooking up with Chic when she’s all “I THINK THIS GUY IS A FRAUD AND A PSYCHO” and then the whole Farm thing. Has Kevin actually gotten to be useful?

My guess is that every family…

The answer to this one is no, no James Murphy cameo/song usage, BUT the movie is really really good and I recommend watching it anyway. (And also, check out Sweet/Vicious if you haven’t. it’s AMAZING)

In Sabrina, Harvey is seen holding some Archie comics.

Sabrina takes place in the same world as Riverdale.

Therefore, Archie was obviously not referring to his burgerphobic friend Jughead, but the hilarious burgerphilic cartoon character Jughead.

The fact that this doesn’t seem weird to Archie is further evidence that…

Dang. I didn’t realize she was ACTUALLY 13. I really figured she was an adult who just happened to look really young.

My head-canon is the song that she was about to perform was “Cake Farts.”

Yeah — after watching this one, I totally got a Design For Living vibe. (I know, it’s not a musical, but...)

Archie: “Don’t go with Elio! He’ll get you killed!”
Mad Dog: “Eh, that’s happened A BUNCH. It’s not so bad.”

Veronica for most of S2: “Mommy why don’t you leave Daddy? He is a MONSTER.”

Veronica now: “NOOOOO OHANA MEANS FAMILY”

I KNOWWWWWWW. I really hope that with the annulment, the “OH NO MUST KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER” Veronica will go away and she’ll be back to being one of the smarter, best characters. (“Smarter” in Riverdale mainly means just “least dumb.”)

FWIW, there’s a really sweet story from Mara Wilson about the making of Matilda where one of her family members was dying (her dad, I wanna say?), and Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman were basically “OK, we’re gonna be your temporary family and do all sorts of fun stuff to help you feel better.”

I was surprised that, of all the characters, I couldn’t find a Martha Dunnstock. I guess that’d have been Ethel, maybe, but then she was probably understandably banned from Riverdale High’s theater department soooooo

ah shit i know what’s happening to the farm now

Wait you hope it DOESN’T? That would be AWESOME. BURN IT ALL DOWN, BUGHEAD! FIRE CLEANSES ALLLLLLLLL

I’ve only seen the film, but not the musical and found the who-was-what kind of confusing. It didn’t help that in “Big Fun” Veronica refers to herself as Veronica, when she’s playing one of the other Heathers, and it’s sort of “wait, is this in character as the Heathers characters or not?”

I mean, I suppose that’s a…

This is the saddest thing for me — Veronica was the BEST in S1, but in S3 she just makes no sense.

Veronica for the past two years: MOM WE NEED TO GET AWAY FROM DADDY HE’S A MONSTER AAAAA
Hermione & Hiram: We’re getting divorced.
Veronica: >:((((((((((((((((

Like, uh, seriously?? Seriously???

Only that the women who turned out to the UPS store to sign the motion to put Savino on trial were described as wearing SU shirts.

I thought it was funny how abrupt the Red Paladin story ended in this one. It’s almost like the writers got as sick of it as we did, haha. “OK, fuck it. Call in the cards so we can be done with it.” I’m surprised they got ALL the cards, too. I figured they’d get all but one. (Though it was kind of satisfying to see…
