I teared up more than a little at that last line.

Xan’s response: “Those guys were Mormons and Buckely knew it.” had me rolling on the floor laughing. Number one joke in a season full of great ones.

Did Netflix decide the cancel the show halfway through filming the season or something? That would explain the mid-season break and the super rushed finale.

Maybe it would have been better if he had threatened Hiram to stay away from Archie so Archie could have come back before he ran off and got mauled by a bear. But, yeah, ‘trying’. 

“Um...you OK, son?”

Also, can we all take a moment to appreciate Reggie arriving at Hiram’s bedside with flowers and an “It’s a Boy!” balloon?

Whoa, whoa. Let’s not go so far as to say Fred “participated.”

Considering all the months Archie spent in juvie & on the lam, having him repeat a school year seems likes a foregone conclusion.

Well criminals are a superstitious & cowardly lot...

Tonight doesn’t kick off Afterlife With Archie, so that grizzly’s efforts were in vain!

They mentioned Betty helping Archie learn to read in the first season. It isn’t a retcon.

Not sure I’d give the episode an A- but it definitely was a lot better than last week’s. Also, I’d just like to pump up my own tires by saying that I commented last week how I hoped Hiram would be killed off and now he’s been shot. Now, I just hope they go through with and kill him off because he needs to go. The…

Who did Casey Cott piss off at the CW so bad that his character gets continually railroaded for 3 seasons straight?

“I guess I’m black, and they do not like black ladies down there.”

“Rudolph is remarkably good here, her pie-eyed exhaustion at having braved a Black Friday sale”

Sounds like she could use a nice buhb-buhl bath

I think my favorite part was at the very beginning of the episode:

Exit, Pursued By A Bear

Wow, they deadass basically just retconned that quarantine. I’m honestly... a little impressed they did that? Like they set it up as their big cliffhanger for the midseason finale and then it was just over. Didn’t see that coming.

So that’s two episodes in a row where the writers panicked and completely undid the long-term implications of the last episode’s final scene. What are they, the DCEU?
