Season 3 :hugesmile:

Cons
Spoiler:

• Alice being a secret agent the entire time makes no sense whatsoever
• Archie and Veronica getting back together in the end
• Cheryl's dialogue :skull:
• Everyone constantly saying "Endgame" is literally the most ANNOYING thing
• Gargoyle King storyline in general
• Josie's exit was so uneventful, deserved a better send off (also with her leaving that means most of the black characters are now gone :skull:)
• Kevin and Fangs are probably the worst "couple" on the show, no development at ALL
• The fact that they are supposed to be in present time while using typewriters, dial up phones, etc. is pretentious and try hard
• The Jailhouse Rock cheerleader thing


Pros
Spoiler:

• Entertaining :skull:
• Still messy but less messy than S2 imo
• The Farm storyline
there's probably more pros but it's easier to think of cons :devil:

Spoiler:

Alice being a secret agent is simultaneously makes no sense while also being one of the sensical (not a word but ygm) moments of the finale... Jason's corpse isn't fully decomposed after a year (I'm assuming there's been a year between pre-S1 and S3?); Charles being alive and an FBI agent, and so much more... the ****

YES THE ENDGAME **** IS SO CRINGEY. And you know what else is? People unironically using their shipnames. Jughead: maybe a Vughead kiss is what we need to prevent a future Bughead from imploding :think: (NOBODY ****ING SPEAKS LIKE THAT). And don't even get ME STARTED on Archie's mum, a grown women in her mid-thirties at the very youngest, saying, "I think you're endgame!". **** OFF!!

The typewriter **** makes sense for Jughead because he IS pretentious but yeah I agree with you with the rest. DEFINITEY trying to milk the 50s aesthetic

Cheryl's dialogue has always pissed me off. I couldn't care if Betty was her cousin or not, I just CRINGE when I hear her say "hello cousin :)". i actually cringe anytime she speaks or appears ESPECIALLY with that funky music that goes on while she struts with that cinematography.... CRINGE

the only black characters now are Mad Dog, that chauvinistic piece of trash footballer, and Sierra McCoy now, right? And on that note, why didn't we see Josie say goodbye to her mum? AND did we even see Tom and Sierra get married?

yeah don't even get me started on Fangs and Kevin. It literally came out of nowhere. When the schools merged Kevin was clearly not interested in Fangs and Fangs has barely appeared on screen, and when he has, he's never been with Kevin. I think they shared like, a one comment conversation and exchanged glances last season when the schools merged but that's itat MOST. Ridiculous. Like I can't remember them getting together? They just rocked around in white farmy uniforms one day and we just sorta thought "okay are they meant to be together?" and they ****ing PUT them together? And for what? WHO did it develop? As bad as KevinXMoose was initially because it would've been better for Moose to heal from Midge first, at least both developed from the relationship - it was its own story and both benefited. With Fangs MIA for god knows how long, the only person whose gonna develop is Kevin, but his feelings of rejection are gonna stem from the fact he wasn't "good enough" to 'ascend', not because some guy he dated for like, 2 weeks at most left him. LITERALLY popped out of nowhere and was unnecessary. Their characters wouldn't be any different if their relationship just. didn't happen

The show is meant to be anachronistic so the 50's tech in modern times isn't really an issue.

I actually watched the whole of season 3 a while back after initially giving up on it after a few episodes. It was woeful, nonsensical and it's writing was nonexistent. It's entertaining in how bad it is but it's a world away from the surprising good guilty pleasure that Season 1 was.

LukeB 18-06-2019 09:34 PM

I haven't watched any of season 3, is it any good?

it's got its many many flaws, but I lowkey enjoyed it, but that's because my expectations are very low. I don't expect much and I accept that it's cringey as **** and having those low expectations make it more enjoyable for me - this is a show where people walk around and say "I beg your misogynistic pardon?" in conversation unironically, after all

If you enjoyed season 1 and 2 for the characters and the twists (no matter how nonsensical they are), there's definitely something to enjoy here. but just expect a lot of it to be nonsensical, and missing some aspects on Season 1 and 2 that gave the show its charm in the first place (minor spoilers-ish for elaboration in spoiler below)

Spoiler:

it feels like we barely see the "core four" together which really annoys me because its that dynamic which keeps me interested

Amy Jade 12-10-2019 02:41 PM

It's back and the first episode is beautiful tbf

Marsh. 12-10-2019 05:45 PM

It was a very nice cameo too, very heartfelt I thought.

Nicky91 13-10-2019 01:30 PM

first ep got me in tears :sad: very beautiful, and i love that Shannon Doherty cameo :love:

also producers made the right decision not to seek a replacement for fred andrews, as that would've more than likely got the series criticism


also nice pictures when Luke was younger :love:

Spoiler:

what the **** happened to Jughead

Nicky91 25-07-2021 02:16 PM


ThomasC 25-07-2021 04:01 PM

Only seen half of series one and found it boring tbh.

Nicky91 08-08-2021 02:16 PM

3 more days the wait :dance2:


more Michael Consuelos scenes upcoming too as young hiram lodge :love: :love:


such a handsome son Mark has :flutter: and perfect to play in this series with his dad

Nicky91 20-08-2021 06:15 AM

lovely episode 5x12, great backstory from Hiram/Jaime


i really feel sympathy quite easy for him, and i do not see him as much of a villain at all


also him giving Reggie the chance to walk away and reconcile with his dad, since he recognized himself in Reggie, and wanted him to take that second chance with his father, something what he can't anymore


so basically he took revenge on his father's killer Vito, murdered him in cold blood at nursing home

now he wants to take the remaining palladium beneath the Blossom maple groves and finish what his father started, and also win his family back (Hermione and Veronica)



my score for this ep 9.5/10

Nicky91 02-12-2021 01:16 PM

Riverdale season 6

umm it gives me american horror story vibes


also
Spoiler:

now first episodes is in a alternate reality the town called Rivervale

Nicky91 17-12-2021 01:38 PM

Spoiler:


Lou Cypher, seriously :laugh2:

great episode that one anyway, good one for Veronica to give Reggie as revenge to Lou into hell, for trying to betray her getting Lou into almost taking her soul :fan:


and the witches ep

hmmm LOL Poppy/Cheryl/Abigail Blossom :laugh3: and Nana Rose been a young soul trapped in a olderperson's body :laugh:


Barbara Wallace is such a fab actress, truly loving all of her scenes so far as Nana Rose


shame this Rivervale is coming to its end, but will be nice to head back into the original storyline again, but this was a nice parody just for entertainment and something different i guess

Nicky91 10-03-2022 09:33 AM

season 6 set to resume its main storyline by March 20


was first March 6th but postponed due to critics choice awards
