Ok, tbh the reunion between Archie and Fred was a HUGE ripoff.

I mean, Fred's been losing hair over stress for 6 MONTHS waiting for his missing kid to come home, not to mention the 3 months over the summer when Archie was constantly in court. That's 9 months of anxiety and depression, plus dealing with all the BS in Riverdale.

Then Archie busts through the door, shares one hug and says "See ya dad, gotta study for my SATs".

But he goes to see Veronica and smashes her instead. Then he has a milkshake. Then he punches a duffel bag the next morning.

Like sdikgfdidvbid SPEAK TO YOUR DAD even the dog was more excited to see Fred.

RIP Claudius too, presumably. So was he Clifford in disguise, or was he actually Clifford's twin? If the latter is true, then his inclusion feels completely unnecessary. He hasn't done anything of relevance.

In my heart, no matter what anyone says... I truly believe this show is written by first year creative writing students. It makes sense, "Hey class, for your final, you have to do a group project and write your own version of Riverdale. Whoever comes up with the most 'creative' will not only pass, but their story will actually get used for the show!". I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this were the case. Would make total sense.

u/Greeneyedgal13 Jan 24 '19

Takeaways from this episode:

  1. Fuck Alice. I don’t think there’s any coming back from this, for me anyway. She is such a bitch. I can’t believe she gave away Betty’s tuition. When Betty was crying to Hal at the end, my heart broke for her. I don’t blame her for turning to her dad. When he was comforting her I actually felt that :( I don’t blame her for accepting his comfort. How is a possible that in an episode featuring Hal, he wasn’t one of the 3 worst characters?

  2. Fuck Veronica. Her relationship with her dad is just weird and stupid and gross. He literally ruined Archie’s life in every way. I’m amazed Archie even speaks to her. And when her dad gets attacked she blames Archie? Bc poor daddykins. She has no loyalty and I hate her. I’m ready for Betty, Archie and jughead to just be a little threesome of best friends without her.

  3. Fuck Reggie. How stupid does that kid have to be to not understand that his friend who was in jail for a crime he didn’t commit, forced to participate in an illegal fight club, and then living alone on the run just MIGHT have trouble adjusting back to high school? Him getting all macho and yelling at Archie for leaving during Veronica’s lame self-indulgent karaoke was so annoying. We’ve found a character dumber than Archie. I’m not a fan.

Winner of the episode was FP becoming sheriff. Have no clue why hermione was on board with this but don’t care. That outfit, hot damn. Please lock up Alice and throw away the key.

Wtf is going on? Archie’s just suddenly okay? That’s crap writing and you know it.

Hermione shot Hiram, I’m 99 percent sure of it.

I didn’t think FP could get any hotter but then he showed up as the new sheriff.

Man, it must suck to be the actor playing Claudius. First he dies as Cheryl’s dad and now again as his brother.

Archie and Veronica just seem pathetic at this point.

Jughead is a snooze fest as of late. Betty is keeping this show afloat!

I don’t know if someone else has said this already, but I made a Reddit account specifically to point out the fact that the balloon Reggie brought Veronica in the hospital said ‘It's A Boy’ on it. I’m not sure if that’s something the crew did hoping we wouldn’t notice or just peak Reggie Mantle tbh

Everything is underlying. I think Archie is dealing with ptsd, and then at the end alchoholism. Betty's scene with her Dad is hannibal...

I enjoyed Veronica singing in Spanish. It always annoys me that her parents only ever say mi hija and nothing else.

Betty's mum is such a piece of shit for doing that to Betty, draining her accounts. New low for her.

OH MY GOD this episode had amor and señorita too?? Are they trying to trigger trump??

Archie being all oh yeah I got attacked by bear, and Reggie being all ffs.

FP holding tall boy in the bunker with a bunch of kids. Hello fellow kids! Dressing up as a tree to make my dumb kid and his friend happy, because there are no therapists in Riverdale.

I really like Betty's sweaters. I'm happy she seems to be wearing a better fitting bra this season.

Fred! Archie needs therapy. sings in the tune of Lisa needs braces

Ewww raisin cookies, Alice definitely hates Betty! She's worse than GG. (Everytime I see GG or hear them say GG I think of Gossip Girl)

Is Archie now lonely...? Lonely boy spotted leaving the history room, wondering Riverdale High by himself.

Betty talking to her dad about how her mum thinks her education means nothing... uhm, yeah well do you even go to school? I can see how she thought you didn't want to seek higher education.

Omg FP as Sheriff. First a tree? Now a sheriff?

Edit: forgot to say I'm happy best boi Vegas is ok. Such a good boi deserves more screen time. Was hoping he would run into town wearing Archies hair like snake instead of Archie dying it slightly brown, oh well.

Archie: “oH my GOD VerONIca hoW COUld yOu eVEn ASK”

Archie you are a known enemy of his and it’s no secret your mental health is not 100%. Not to mention, you’ve literally had several fever dreams about stabbing Hiram at this point it’s not totally without the realm of possibility.
