Cliff Hanger Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I am sorely disappointed that per IMDB, that 15-second bit in ep 1 is all the Dilton we get. He should make an amazing machine that solves the crime, then get bribed, seduced or blackmailed into not revealing the answer. Captain Hero and Evilheart should be somehow involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I now hate the decision to split licenses when a certain kids show was created, because Riverdale needs bleach blonde Wiccan goth chick Sabrina Spellman.to vie for Archie's affections after the thing with Mrs. Grundy gets going.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Both Afterlife w Archie and Sabrina are good and creepy. Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who i think is also an executive producer on the new tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Jesus, Mark. The Archie horror stuff is crazy as hell! If Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa is smart, he pitches this as a spin-off if Riverdale's ratings go through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just noticed the 'Hot Ms Grundy' tag. Well played. Honestly though, I can't think of anyone under 40 named Geraldine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, I have a friend who has a younger sister named Geraldine...she's like 18 or 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I love that they're sticking with the names despite the show being serious. I heard Ethel is gonna be in it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 We are sleeping on the fact that Robin Givens is playing the role of Josie's mom and she's also the fucking mayor of Riverdale. New ep tonight at 9PM EST. CW must have a lot of faith in Riverdale. I just realized that it is on against mother fucking Scandal, the heavy hitter of Shonda Rimes Owns Thursday Night. And what Johnny said. I think it is hilarious that this show uses the shoot names from the comics for the characters while still being all business.

Marisol Nichols recovered well from the cancellation of MTV's Teen Wolf aka the most solid show that network has produced in years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very odd yet refreshing that they're sticking with the very dated comic book names while still telling the story a very business-like manner without one ounce of camp.

J.T. Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Okay, somewhere along the line I missed the confirmation by Roberto at Comic Con last year that AC negotiated the return of the character licensing for Sabrina Spellman from Disney prior to the filming of the current season of Riverdale.. Let the dream casting begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife got super into Teen Wolf for a hot minute and I really like what I've seen (most of S2, about half of S3) but need to fill gaps and catch up. It has real similar strengths and weaknesses to the CW superhero lineup honestly. And it's a ridiculous amount of fun. Glad someone else digs it.

Cliff Hanger Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Cheryl and Alice both seem too guilty to actually BE guilty. I kinda want it to be Reggie just because in any timeline, Reggie is the worst human, but I doubt it's him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My daughter got me watching Teen Wolf with her. I watched about a season and a half (the Dread Doctors season and about half a season before that). I kinda enjoyed it but after a season and a half, I still didn't know the names of most of the characters and several of the male characters looked alike to me.

J.T. Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Tonight's episode was pretty solid. I figured that part of solving Blossom's murder would be Archie and Mrs. Grundy potentially have to fess up to their relationship. Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I really appreciate that the show is moving at a solid clip. A lesser show would have taken at least 4 or 5 episodes to get to this point. The pace makes it feel super wild and keeps me hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready for some unexpected twist, but one half of that equation was revealed this week with Cheryl. I'm of the belief she got into an argument with Jason, pushed him over and she fell out in the process. She didn't necessarily mean to kill him, it just ended up that way. Alice is too obvious to be the one to pull the trigger. Considering how manipulative she is I'm sensing she had her husband do it so he would take the fall. I don't watch teen dramas, never have been my thing. But the Archie tie-in plus the murder mystery has my full attention. I'm loving what they're doing with it so far.

The Unholy Dragon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 From what Cheryl said this episode, it sounds like her and Jason had a scheme afoot, possibly faking his death for reasons. Only then he ended up real dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 This show has far exceeded my expectations. I'm really not feeling Betty's character so far, but almost every other character has me invested. Veronica is probably my favorite right now.

Cliff Hanger Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've made a huge mistake. I showed T the first two eps last night and she made me promise not to watch any more without her, which means I'm guaranteed to fall behind the thread.
