Another great episode.
The Keller family is very attractive.

Definitely wanna know what the case with Jellybean is. I'm gonna choose to believe she's living a happy life somewhere - someone connected to Riverdale needs some happiness in their life.

I don't know, I really felt for him during that last scene. He really thought Grundy cared for him.

From the four episode s we've had, the show has been at its best when it is self aware of the genre it's in the character stereotypes it's using.
Is every adult except maybe Archie's and Kevin's dads are morally bankrupt in this town?
It's a wonder that their kids turn out relatively well, so to speak. I guess the parents are hypocrite enough to the point that they are able to instil decency on their kids while doing dirty shenanigans on their own.
The episode made me sad for all of the kids. Archie is dumb but he seriously liked Grundy. B&V do not deserve to be manipulated like that by their parents. Jughead is obviously at a point where he no longer care about his parents and just surviving on his own. I know exactly what Kevin feels. That one-night-stand won't erase the heartache and longing that he wants for another guy.

Someone mentioned it during the episode, but the way he called her Miss Grundy instead of Geraldine really nailed home the situation. That was a really nice touch.
How is anyone supposed to take you seriously posting like this?
Looks like it's coming soon.

Yup. Archie will always know her as Miss Grundy, and until he comes to the realization that he was wrong (or that she wronged him) might finally call her Jennifer.
It is. Episode 6 is a HUGE Josie episode. Amazing new Josie and the Pussycats song, and a goddamn huge revelation in the mystery.

Probably. Called those crocodile tears from the beginning.

Decent episode. The whole time I was pretty aloof on Jughead's storyline but then it all comes together at the end.
Also, the break in at the sheriff's house! Who could it be? Almost all the major players were at the cinema.

You didn't see her staring down those hot boys at the end there?
I am waiting for the Reggie character development episode.

Good question.
Well,
she stared them down, but her expression was very different than before.
I dunno, at first I interpreted the end of her story arc as
her trying to move on -- first from her husband (and newfound freedom) and now her tryst with Archie. Now I'm not sure how I feel about her whole character...
Also, can someone remind me how we're doing spoiler tags in this thread? The Agents of SHIELD thread doesn't have any spoiler tags unless it's for a future episode.

Once the episode has aired spoiler tags aren't needed. The only things that need to be spoiler tagged are production details about future episodes and discussion about the previews for future episodes.

I'm keeping my Betty's dad killed Jason theory strong and I also think he destroyed the Sheriff's evidence. Most of the other parents and kids were busy with either the Grundy stuff or the drive in and he appeared earlier in the episode briefly.

Do we know why Betty's mom hates Archie so much? It's a bit ridiculous.
I also agree that Kevin's dad is the only good adult in the whole town. Doesn't care that his kid's gay, just wants him to be carefully when he's scoping dudes.

I think this episode heavily implied she was basically viewing her hatred of Betty and Archie as friends as her seeing them like another Polly and Jason.

Betty alluded to it at the end. Betty's mom is a control freak and is afraid she'll lose Betty like she lost Polly. She blames losing Polly to Jason, and she thinks the same could happen with Betty and Archie.
So who wasn't at the cinema?
Betty's dad
Vixens
Pussycats
The Mayor
Reggie
Doiley
Anyone I missed? Pretty slim pickings honestly, I think Doiley is the only legit pick.
To be fair, Archie's dad is not bad either....apart from his dubious choices in women (Grundy, Betty's dodgy mom).
BewareTheBatsie

Ethen, who might be another legit pick with how she was a-okaying the Chuck thing. Chuck himself too.
I see all the terrible things about this show and I am like "who cares, give me more". This is a legit good bad show.
I'm also trying to watch Legion and while I can see the quality (good writing, directing etc) it is just too much work. I'll take Riverdale every time.

Lol yup. My bad, sorry.
These vids are great.
I like how he went from 10 minutes for ep1 then over 20 mins for ep4.

He's invested =)
Ethel. I thought she looks suspicious during that scene. Enjoying the torture far too much. But then again I don't like the actress and don't see why Stranger Things fans were creaming themselves after her.

IMO Shannon Purser is legit. If she looked happy during
the B+V pool scene

Just a thought... since you know what's going to happen, you probably shouldn't comment on what is or isn't accurate.

WB got that Archie Comics development deal. I guess Netflix must be pretty happy. Growing an audience with streaming is possible. Very tough due to the current overload of content, but possible. I'm not too worried, but I also don't think it's CW ten seasons safe.
As long as we get a few quality seasons, and the show runners have a heads up when the last season will be were good.

I think so too. It's gonna hit Netflix around the time everybody gets out of school for the summer.

I don't get the Ms Grundy thing.
So was she
So was she
playing Archie or not?
Not fully clear but i t'm willing to bet she is not fully innocent.
I think she was, when she left town she had the same sun glasses and drink look she had when she picked up Archie during the summer, the implication was that she's looking for a new boytoy.
I'm not even sure I believe her story about her husband, she could be running from the law if she had affairs with students before.
That's my take too. And during the scene she's thirsting after the two guys this is Betty's narration:
"maybe some of what I did was wrong, but maybe... Maybe I was right about some things, too. Maybe Ms. Grundy was dangerous in some way."
