Riverdale |OT| Woah, Black Betty!

He's not stalking Moose. Moose is the one in the wrong here.
I don't disagree, but while everyone else is actively moving the plot forward, he just gets resigned to a romantic sidestory.
I do want to see him as part of the main plot, but I also want to see him in overtly romantic situations.
Betty and Jughead are all over each other and they still get to do other stuff.
Man the Archie storyline is so wack compared to the Gargoyle King shit.
This horror mystery stuff is what I originally wanted Riverdale to be like. I know the answer may be something mundane and ordinary in the end but for now I'm enjoying the ride.
Hopefully this Archie jail shit ends soon.

Agreed, but the show is too big for just that, I doubt it's what mainstream audiences want, sadly.

Archie to me was always comedy and solving mysteries. The Gargoyle King stuff is amazing, but Shawshank redemption Archie shit is meh.
At least we have Sabrina coming up, but there probably won't be a lot of mystery involved.

They ripped off that parents scene from The Runaways
Also my tactic to fast forward, mute or change channels whenever Jughead and Betty or Jughead are on screen has made the show 10x more enjoyable

He didn't write this episode, he usually bails after the pilot.
Showrunner has final say on everything and usually gives every script a once over. He doesn't just leave the show lol
Ha I love Shawshank Archie as much as True Detective Jugs. Been a while since we had a good musical number out of nowhere. The parents coming together for whatever the fuck that was is the icing on the cake. Edgar Evernever is my new favorite character and we haven't even seen him yet.
The episode was better whenever that part wasn't the focus.
And of course the warden is Hiram's good friend lol...
Archie still has perfect hair even in prison.And every prisoner looks like they're incarcerated because of their good looks and good bodies.
Veronica has it worst of all. Literally her entire existence this season so far has revolved around Archie.
AVClub put it best:
She's a nothing character at this point.

How did the prison plot end up more ridiculous than the Gargoyle King plot
This show is crazy, but so far it's been more S1 good crazy than S2 bad crazy
AV Club: A-

Fight Club Archie LMAO
The Gargoyle King monster reminded me of the one from The Ritual (the Netflix movie).

Yes.
Seriously what the fuck is happening because I can't right now
So, a crazy theory about the gargoyle king and the Sabrina crossover.
A direct crossover between current Riverdale and Sabrina characters won't happen. Also, the time periods kind of don't match.
Since the whole GK nonsense started when the parents were young, maybe we will have some young versions of parents appearing on Sabrina?

I'm done with Shawshank Archie as well. I thought it was stupid he took the plea deal as they had no evidence on him. The fact they immediately slapped that plea deal out shows what a weak hand they had to play. It'll probably come out later some of those jurors were paid off by Hiram which releases Archie or something. But I'm not feeling the prison story-line right now unless they can somehow tie it into everything else. I also thought Jailhouse Rock as a musical interlude was weak and poorly done - come at me. :P
I am 100% behind this idea. It feels like a midseason/sweeps reveal.
This stupid Archie prison plot has gone from Shawshank to Longest Yard to A Prayer Before Dawn in like a single episode. I'm so in for this bullshit.
Really enjoyed this episode. It felt like peak Riverdale bullshit without the narrative flailing of most of the latter half of the second season. They've almost washed the taste of Papa Poutine out of my mouth. Also this D&D plot feels like it is approaching Jack Chick levels of hysteria around D&D. Good times.
Well the kids are playing their parents in a flashback episode so it could work.

Just for the record, the kid playing Hiram is Mark Consuelos' IRL son.
Riverdale is such a stupid show with idiots as characters (I'm looking at you Archie) that it somehow warps around on itself and becomes fantastically awesome.
Still holding hope it's not but yeah that would be the obvious choice. Hopefully they lead us to believe it's not supernatural and then pull the rug out from under us.
Also this show is dumb as hell. The prison stuff is so bananas. I just kept thinking "this show is bad" every step of the way but I won't stop watching.
That's because the show is actually good. It may not have emmy worthy writing or plots that make sense and it's completely bonkers but it's also incredibly entertaining.
I have a simple rule:
Entertaining = good
Boring = bad
My gf put this show on last night, so fucking bad at even managing the simple stuff but it has a hot young cast so it doesn't matter lol. Camila Mendes and KJ Apa wew
This prison shit is so exhausting already. It's so transparently written to be excuses to put Archie in tight shirts or no shirts all the time.
The fact that all the parents (even Hiram!) have a Locke and Key-esque death pact from 30 years ago that ties directly into the woods monster shit is pretty intriguing, though. I want to see where that nonsense is heading.

My girlfriend pulled me into the room to watch Archie's prison speech.
Holy fucking shit.
Holy.
Fucking.
Shit.
I fucking... Why? Just fucking why?

This show keeps pulling me back in. I watched episode 2 when I wasn't going to at all. I instinctively went to the channel and just watched it. The prison stuff wasn't great but everything else had my eyes glued to the TV.
They so want us to believe Archie is this leader among men, but really he's just the loudest stupid person in a room full of other stupid people.
Everything about that cheerleading scene at the prison was just classic Riverdale
Whoever does the exterior lighting for this show really loves their job.
It really is one of the most impressive aspects of the show. On a technical level Riverdale actually impresses me more than almost any other CW show.
