Starring:
K. J. Apa as Archie Andrews
Lili Reinhart as Betty Cooper
Camila Mendes as Veronica Lodge
Cole Sprouse as Jughead Jones
Marisol Nichols as Hermione Lodge
Madelaine Petsch as Cheryl Blossom
Ashleigh Murray as Josie McCoy
Mädchen Amick as Alice Cooper
Luke Perry as Fred Andrews
It airs on The CW every Thursday at 9 PM EST.
This is actually pretty decent so far. A bit Gossip Girl (on Jughead's side) and a bit PLL (on Archie's side) but pretty cool. KJ is BEYOND. Veronica is probably my favorite character currently.
Posted by: J▲hq 27th January 2017, 07:40 AM
They got married following their collab?!
Might see if I get time to give this a chance, being a bit PLL sounds good.
Posted by: Qween 27th January 2017, 01:03 PM
Quite aside from KJ being INSANELY GORGEOUS, this does have a really interesting vibe. The CW really do know how to put a twist on comic book shows and make them work.
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 27th January 2017, 05:35 PM
Gonna watch the first episode later tonight, actually really looking forward to it, especially if it's a bit of gossip girl and pll since they are faves 
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 27th January 2017, 08:26 PM
I came for Cole Sprouse and stayed for KJ and Beronica
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 27th January 2017, 09:32 PM
just finished the episode and it was really good!! Looking forward to a new one next week

YESSSSS ALANNA 
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 27th January 2017, 10:45 PM
btw echo your comment about Veronica! She is fav right now, and Archie too 
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 28th January 2017, 10:59 PM
Beronica are my new ship idec altho their faux kiss was v karmy on faking it so I'm hoping one of them realises they're not straight, my money is on veronica *.*
This was so good, very pll but I like the novel/narration element too and ofc the amount of ginger rep 
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 28th January 2017, 11:01 PM
the funny thing is KJ has Samoan heritage but is playing a ginger here
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 28th January 2017, 11:04 PM
I knew he wasn't a natural ginge, the eyebrows gave it away
Camila Mendes is bae tbh

wait did you not know it was on netflix?? that's where I watched it last night 
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 29th January 2017, 12:29 AM
See I assume that y'all watch everything that's new on a bootleg streaming site like putlocker
(so yeah ~ )
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 29th January 2017, 12:33 AM
oh no I definitely use putlocker but some gods came along and gave us this on netflix thankfully
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 29th January 2017, 12:37 AM
Yea I watched it on Netflix too, I got a notification for it *.*
Posted by: J▲hq 29th January 2017, 11:19 AM
Archie *.* Shipping him and the music teacher
A solid first episode, enough mystery to keep me coming back
Posted by: Samantha1989 29th January 2017, 11:30 AM
Think I need to start this as have heard so many people talking about this over the last few days!
Are all the episodes up now or is it one episode weekly?!
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 29th January 2017, 11:37 AM
One episode a week, I believe every Friday so the second episode should be up in 5 days time
Posted by: HarryEzra 29th January 2017, 01:33 PM
I watched the first episode and really enjoyed it really good ending and likeable characters
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 29th January 2017, 02:09 PM
I hate how shows like this and Pretty Little Liars etc where there's a student/teacher relationship but you ship it??? Like it's wrong but on TV it seems okay :')
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 29th January 2017, 04:03 PM
Even with that Archie/Grundy is basically a weaker Ezria soz
Posted by: Cremey 29th January 2017, 10:20 PM
I loved this 😍 Can't wait for the rest. I'm so used to binge-watching things on Netflix now, feels weird having to wait a week for the next episode. Veronica is amazing – she was giving me Lucy Watson vibes, which is never a bad thing.
Posted by: Samantha1989 30th January 2017, 12:56 AM
This is fab!! Loved the first episode! Betty and Veronica are my favourites, both of them are incredible!
Also Archie is 🔥 *.*

VERONICA *.*
Posted by: sammy01 2nd February 2017, 06:12 PM
I watched this because of the buzz and it was a decent first episode. Wasn't slow like a lot of first episodes and set up the rest of the season well.
Archie's body is perfection, who doesn't love a happy trail!
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 3rd February 2017, 11:53 AM
about to watch the second episode! im so freakin excited!! 
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 3rd February 2017, 12:19 PM
I just finished it, this show is SO good and I'm f/f trash
Veronica is everything
Posted by: Conderella 3rd February 2017, 12:22 PM
This is so trashy but at least I am willing to give another episode a chance
Posted by: J▲hq 3rd February 2017, 12:39 PM
If every episode is going to open with Archie in his underwear I am sold
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 3rd February 2017, 12:54 PM
ahhh that was so good I just wish I could binge it all 
hahaha Lindsey this was me when Veronica gave Betty flowers, then came in and was all "yellow is for friendship": 
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 3rd February 2017, 01:03 PM
Ikr! Like casually giving a girl flowers and going on milkshake dates, making vows, totally platonic 
"I wanna be with Betty... One again fate has thrown us together" Veronica PLEASE
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 3rd February 2017, 01:23 PM
I KNOW!! way to play it cool V, totally fooled her
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 3rd February 2017, 04:33 PM
Cheryl is legit insane. I kinda like it.
ALL THIS BERONICA MADNESS *.* From the flowers to the milkshakes. Pretty sure that Romeo & Juliet line was about them too v. "forget Archie, we can be girlfriends instead"
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 3rd February 2017, 05:15 PM
Please tell me it's as gay as I'm interpreting it Cody, theres so many hints like that whole when the person you like doesn't like you back thing and letting a boy get between them
I also don't like the grundy thing now, get that away, I feel like Cheryl abd Jason were a bit too close as well... Like what siblings hold hands and share milkshakes and go on boat rides together :////
Posted by: princess lotita 3rd February 2017, 05:47 PM
it's 100% gonna be incest and cheryl was jealous of polly
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 3rd February 2017, 05:53 PM
Why is everything incest with you
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 3rd February 2017, 06:39 PM
A part of the trailer hints at Betty and Jughead but after watching this episode I think Bughead will be a fake out and it will pave the road for Beronica or something like the triangle from Girl Meets World (Betty will be Lucas, Veronica will be Riley and Archie will be Maya because Barchie won't be canon probably)
what if Cheryl actually did kill Jason because of the logic of "if I can't have him no one can"
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 3rd February 2017, 07:18 PM
How could he have been shot July 4th but dead a week later, unless the gun Archie heard wasn't the one that killed him???
I think there was some ploy for him to fake his death and him and Cheryl could run away and be together
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 3rd February 2017, 08:23 PM
Lotti what did you do to us
Posted by: princess lotita 3rd February 2017, 08:57 PM
i think lindsey has it there, remember cheryl saying "he was meant to come back"
Posted by: sammy01 3rd February 2017, 10:44 PM
Ok Archie in his underwear was the highlight of the ep. I thought the 2nd ep was a little dull. The Archie/Grundy thing isn't very well done at all. I see what he is getting out of it being a teenager banging his hot teacher but she doesn't seem very smitten with him and surely she could find herself another hot guy to bang if it was mainly sex.
Veronica I want to like but it's not clicking with me yet. She says all the right things but it just doesn't seem genuine.
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 3rd February 2017, 11:36 PM
I wanna know what the HELL Cheryl is planning by getting herself arrested
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 4th February 2017, 06:09 AM
v. "forget Archie, we can be girlfriends instead"Veronica *during cheer practice*: "Romeo & Juliet are the exception, not the rule!"
Veronica *talking about Betty to Archie*: *talks about how she and Betty are destined to be together*
wasn't Romeo & Juliet's relationship fate-centric too?
hmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmm
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
also Jarchie is my side ship
Posted by: Liаm 5th February 2017, 07:36 PM
Omg Veronica is my fave, she's like an amazing mix of Santana Lopez and Mona Vanderwaal *.*
Posted by: HarryEzra 5th February 2017, 07:51 PM
Veronica is an ultter queen love her I also love cheryl
BUT OF COURSE THAT FIRST SCENE WITH ARCHIE IN HIS BOXERS
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 10th February 2017, 06:38 AM
what the shit is going on 
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 10th February 2017, 11:29 AM
about to watch it now!
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 10th February 2017, 12:42 PM
okay well something is happening with Betty, do you think they are just gonna brush that hot tub scene as the heat of the moment sort of thing or actually develop it into some mental problem? Also, Veronica's face when Betty walked out to the hot tub I was living for Veronica the first half of the episode, she wasn't taking no shit and the sass!! YOU GO GIRL
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 10th February 2017, 04:03 PM
Wait, I forgot what Betty was taking the pills for during the pilot, anxiety?
If so I think Betty with a mental condition may have been hinted. One of the symptoms might be anxiety and it might be hereditary but skips a generation (so her mother might be a carrier and it would explain why Polly went all psycho).

Would it be possible to have Betty actually be Polly and Veronica is right about the dual personality thing? 
idk but I was living for Veronica yet again *.* Her hot tub scenes...
ALSO ETHEL IS BARB
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th February 2017, 05:57 PM
I wasn't so sure of this show when I watched the pilot but I'm glad I've stuck with it and I love the direction it's going! It's like my new replacement for Revenge *.*
Posted by: princess lotita 10th February 2017, 06:19 PM
this is really getting incredible now- I'm so hooked
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 10th February 2017, 07:42 PM
I'm really impressed with how they're layering up their characters, giving them more depth than what their stereotyped personas suggest and sort of poking fun at how bloody typical the American high school set up is. I don't think a lot of people get that that's the point, it's meant to be typical, nothing special until the events surrounding Jason death occurred. This has so much potential, I just hope they don't mess it up via the writing which the CW is often guilty of. Maybe the fact Netflix is involved it will help, it seems to so far! It's been so long since I actually looked forward to watching something weekly, this is defo my new fave rn
Posted by: HarryEzra 11th February 2017, 02:23 AM
Just watched the episode and I love Veronica such a feminist queen and I am loving this alter ego for Betty

SO META. I really love how self aware the show is in terms of the usual tropes. I do think Kevin is going to get serious character development in the future, especially with him not only dealing with his sexuality (is he still in the closet around family? What did he tell his dad about finding Jason's body?) but possibly being a core player in solving the mystery for Jughead and Betty. Reggie could use some development too, he's petty big in the comics' canon afaia.
I feel like Cheryl as the social media voice of the universe might poke fun at the B&V relationship (moreso in the "I prefer the name Beronica" sense). #TeamBVC
Posted by: sammy01 14th February 2017, 03:38 PM
3rd ep was much better than the 2nd. Archie took a back seat (bar another showing of flesh which is always welcome) which I think was needed to let other characters breathe and have their moment and plot.
The episode gave Betty a lot more depth but in a bad way (good tv way though).
Posted by: Tinasha 14th February 2017, 03:39 PM

Thank god Miss Grundy has gone, what a wet drip of a character. Also they were a bit quick to just accept her story, I mean she actually could be Jason's killer.
Every time I see Veronicas mum I think Charisma Carpenter was made for that role.
Skeet Ulrich is looking very hot the older he gets.

Betty's mum can piss right off.
Posted by: Qween 20th February 2017, 12:44 PM
I LOVE Alice, she's not been made to be sympathetic in any way but you KNOW there's a deep seated emotional VOID inside of her waiting to be explored. They hinted at it in this episode of course with her feeling that she's a failure as a mother, which only makes her push Betty away still further by trying to protect her. Definitely a lot more interesting than any of the other parents.
I'm very glad Miss Grundy has been vanquished, although I cannot fault her for her flawless taste in just legal hotties that whole storyline was such a drag and they had zero chemistry. She will undoubtedly be back at some point to kick up a stink but I'll forget about that for now.
B+V are obviously LIFE, but I'm really enjoying the quiet way they've dealt with Kevin and his sexuality. The conversation with his dad this week was great and I usually struggle to warm to gay characters in most TV shows. Plus Cheryl constantly makes me smile with just HOW cliche she is.

http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/molly-ringwald-riverdale-archie-the-cw-1201942184/
While I'm always excited to see Molly on my screen (I LOVED her in Secret Life Of An American Teenager!), I think the background on Archie's mom would be an interesting storyline. Not only will it explain Archie's fascination with music, but it might give some insight if she ends up getting tied into the ongoing murder investigation.

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 24th February 2017, 01:09 PM
I'm thinking Valerie is who Archie ends up with at the end of the season, there's more chemistry between them than with him and either of Betty or Veronica and that's a pairing I can get behind tbh not to mention she's hella pretty too *.*
I'm really loving the Cheryl/Veronica and Jughead/Betty dynamics as well
Posted by: HarryEzra 24th February 2017, 02:55 PM
I like how the group members can go off in different directions like cheryl going with Veronica....Jugghead and Betty
Valarie and Archie pls get together
Posted by: Cameron 24th February 2017, 03:17 PM
Ugh, the Archie Football / Music thing is basically just Finn from Glee's storyline again 
That being said, another fab episode! I cannot wait to finally get to meet Polly
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 24th February 2017, 08:38 PM
I'm predicting some sort of fallout within the Blossom family. Penelope can honestly be flushed too. What is with the moms, Hermione aside, always acting like the second coming of Mean Girls? The Cheryl/Veronica dynamics are playing really well, maybe we're shaping up for a possible BVC team up? They're like the Powerpuff Girls 
I need more of an explanation on the connection between the Lodges and The Serpents

veronica is an ANGEL
betty is rlly annoying me
Posted by: Qween 24th February 2017, 10:42 PM
God this episode was so CAMPY it was delicious. Penelope Blossom was bringing the ICE COLD c**t so hard this episode I couldn't help but have some level of admiration, and lets be honest who WOULDN'T want to inappropriately touch Archibald at a memorial service for their dead son?
I really warmed to Jughead this episode too, the whole romance thing isn't really of any concern to me but I do quite like Valerie because she feels like a character and not just a plot device.
Posted by: sammy01 24th February 2017, 10:50 PM
I wasn't majorly keen on that episode. The Archie story line of music or football just seems so stupid, I mean surely he has enough time to do both!
Veronica is such a great character, the best on the show by some way.
The Polly thing is dragging a little for me now, 5 eps in and it has been teased a lot when she finally gets some screen time it better be worth it.
I don't know what to make a Cheryl, at some points I think the writers want us to feel sorry for her and then a minute later will write her being a complete and utter bitch, it is kind of hard to know what to feel towards her.
Overall I am enjoying it and the weekly dose of Archie with minimal clothing is a blessing, the ratings for this episode though were not good. Maybe people are feeling like I am a little that the actual plot is moving very slowly.
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 24th February 2017, 11:22 PM
Reggie getting some minimal development tho
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 25th February 2017, 12:30 AM

I don't think i posted my theory here but Lotti can vouch for me, I predicted that!!!
SO GOOD
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 3rd March 2017, 08:18 PM
I DON'T LIKE ROMANTIC BUGHEAD
I AM however curious as to how the Polly arc is going to play. I think the same person who burned down Jason's getaway car also (and this is purely hypothetical) kidnapped Polly or worse. I saw some blood stains on one of the window fragments which implies some sort of injury. Eerily the Blossoms were also absent during this episode. Hmmmmm... What Cheryl said to Betty around Ep. 3 about Jason "hurting" Polly says otherwise so I'm not thinking it's her ... definitely think it's one of the parents.
ArchieXValerie giving me The Voice teas with Alicia Keys as Archie's coach
Posted by: sammy01 3rd March 2017, 08:26 PM
Hmmmmm the Polly thing was a bit as I feared, not really worth the 5 eps of build up. I don't think I care if we never see her again really.
Archie was wearing way too many clothes this episode.
I'm actually finding Veronica's mum and Archie's dad the most interesting thing right now outside the 'who killed Jason' plot.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 7th March 2017, 09:42 PM
This season barely even focuses on Archie, if anything the main arc is centered around Betty/Cheryl.
Jughead is basically the show's Stiles. He'll get major character development for most of the season anyway, no matter which season and how far along we're in it.
Posted by: sammy01 8th March 2017, 12:20 AM
I think the renewal was wise. The show has a very 'tell your friend about it being a guilty pleasure and they stream it over its break and season 2 ratings come back bigger' feeling.
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th March 2017, 12:42 PM

Jughead is quickly becoming my fave, along with Veronica ofc... I need more of her, I think her and Kevin could have a really good dynamic too so I hope they show more of that *.*

Posted by: lewistgreen 10th March 2017, 03:16 PM
Yeah last week's was definitely more thrilling and probably would've been a better time to take this break they're having.
Very much liking the character development for Jug Head though.
Posted by: Oliver 16th March 2017, 12:10 PM
Just got round to watching this the other day, three episodes in and I'm loving it!
Veronica is my favourite character, her friendship with Betty is the best thing about the show so far.
Was hoping for some development between Kevin and Moose but that ship seems to have sunk very quickly!
The only character I don't like is Reggie.

FINALLY got around to watching this! Binge-watched it over the past 2 days. Super enjoyable for the most part, campy/trashy in a good way.
(Poor Craig, if I'd said to him one more time that I'd watch it "soon" I think he would have exploded. )
A few thoughts, none of which will be original x
- Archie in a state of undress will never get boring, hot damn!
- Veronica is everything - she's my favourite character at this point. It was a done deal by Episode 3 tbh... Queen of feminism! She's stunning too.
- I'm liking Kevin a lot. I'm hoping his character is explored in greater detail soon & that he becomes integral to the show, fingers crossed he's a main cast member for Season 2 rather than recurring. The scene with his Dad was great, it was nice to see total acceptance/caring attitude from a parent towards their gay son from the off. Also https://68.media.tumblr.com/9d79e840a3b693afd15344a9eda64a2c/tumblr_oli3n7Dcw31vakf4uo1_400.gif, you snooze you lose, Moose!
- CHERYL. Oh my goodness. Completely & brilliantly insane; she commands attention in every scene she's in.
- Jughead & Betty are admittedly cute together, but prior to that development I'd not been getting vibes that he was interested in her, or anyone for that matter, so I was quite surprised by it.
- I'm glad that the writers remembered to make interesting parent characters. I feel like Betty's mom received a hard time in this topic but I find her behaviour and motives to be intriguing!
- I found the Archie/Ms Grundy story line to be uncomfortable and unconvincing - I'm glad that wrapped up pretty quickly. Although perhaps in one sense a little too quickly - his dad seemingly brushing this incident under the carpet doesn't ring true. Definitely the weakest plot line so far, hoping it doesn't make a return. Archie's "sports or music" dilemma plot has been a bit on the dull side too, but I'm happy about the fact that it's brought him and Valerie together. They're a great pairing... I sensed some genuine chemistry there which was completely lacking in scenes with Ms Grundy.
March 30th, hurry up pls. I feel impatient and I only have 5 days to wait since I finished the most recent episode, how have you guys coped with the 3 week hiatus?!

I'M CRYING PLZ HELP
This was definitely Alice's redemption episode. A bit AGOG @ Polly's dad suggesting abortion and good for her to stand up to him. The whole Cooper/Blossom West Side Story vibe is still intriguing, we'll see how it plays out next episode.
Jughead's dad seems very shady now
I don't know whether to be KevinXMoose or KevinXJoaquin, so glad there was more of the former though

Also that episode is how I think a Lottsey baby shower would be

OMG Praise the lord!

Alice has grown on me due to this episode
Posted by: Cameron 31st March 2017, 01:38 PM
Alice was incredible this episode.
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 31st March 2017, 03:11 PM
Cheryl had like 4 words and she still stole the show.
Posted by: The-PussPlaces🐱 31st March 2017, 03:29 PM
I am LOVING bughead omg they are so cute!!! and I echo the comments about Alice, finally doing the right thing for a change, I'm not sure I like how Polly chose the blossoms tho 
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 31st March 2017, 03:54 PM
I don't blame her one bit. Her mum sent her to the loony bin and he dad was going to pay for an abortion.
Posted by: l♀tita 31st March 2017, 05:24 PM
I'd be Cheryl and the pram
Posted by: The-PussPlaces🐱 31st March 2017, 07:13 PM
true but I just don't know if the Blossom's have Polly's best interests at heart, they obviously want to help the baby but once it's born idk. Plus Alice kicked her dad out and is starting to be a decent human being, like at least we know they genuinely care about Polly
Posted by: ♀Cody Viall♀ 31st March 2017, 08:53 PM
she should have just stayed at haus of lodge
Alice still seems sketch as well
all of the parents bar Hermione are sketch tbh
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 31st March 2017, 09:27 PM
fred can sketch me anytime tbh
Posted by: Alanna🐱 1st April 2017, 08:22 PM
draw me like one of your french girls
Posted by: ʟIRNᴅsᴇʏ.B 3rd April 2017, 02:14 PM
Cheryl and the bloody pram 
Yea I warmed to Alice so much more this episode, I was kinda sad to see Polly not end up going home though. Tbh why would you even consider living anywhere else when you have the option to stay with Veronica
Posted by: ♀Cody Viall♀ 7th April 2017, 06:45 AM
god damn cheryl this is a banquet not THE BACHELOR
the Beronica moments though I am DECEASED
!!!!!!! @ the Blossoms having something to do with the Lodges
Next week: Shirtless Archie!!!!!! + some drinking and Molly Ringwald returns to TV!
Posted by: ♀Cody Viall♀ 7th April 2017, 06:04 PM
time to wait for Harry to pm me asking if it's thursday yet
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 7th April 2017, 08:13 PM
cheryl channeling her inner me in wanting to bang fred*.*
Posted by: ʟIRNᴅsᴇʏ.B 7th April 2017, 10:09 PM
omg Cheryl is providing so many essential one liners, I actually love her so much
hyped for next week, I've heard that this is actually the sleepover episode and it's been kinda bigged up by the cast as well saying it was their fave to film so i'm excited to see what all thats about *.* was I the only one thinking the only reason Archie was invited to the Blossom events was because he's ginger? I wish people would buy me fancy things bc of my hair colour tbh

Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 27th April 2017, 12:02 AM
yass
Posted by: Cameron 28th April 2017, 01:01 PM
I knew it was going to end with something like that!
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 01:23 PM
is this the season finale?! (i'm yet to watch)
Posted by: Cameron 28th April 2017, 01:26 PM
I think we still have 2 to go?
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 01:27 PM
oh mess haha, i got confused by what u meant by ending
Posted by: Cameron 28th April 2017, 01:32 PM
oooooops
(you'll get what I mean when you watch 
)
also I stan Alice. #SorryNotSorry
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 28th April 2017, 03:32 PM
Archie killed Jason is my theory
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 07:20 PM
omg i stan alice so much now
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 28th April 2017, 08:38 PM
I'm going off Jughead tbh, he's become so selfish and like that line about Archie's music making ppl want to slit their wrists "in the good way" that was kinda gross
Posted by: l♀tita 28th April 2017, 08:40 PM
i KNOW the way he went off at betty was so unfair (btw i absolutely stan her now)
Posted by: #Justice4HeMo 28th April 2017, 11:51 PM
FINALLY GOT TO THIS
Does anyone else think Cheryl tipped the sheriff and planted the gun in FP's closet? She was the only person not present while Archie and Veronica were performing.
Josie should have been in that "Kids In America" cover, Camila's voice sounded like Isabella from Phineas and Ferb, there were no harmonies whatsoever, and idk what was up but I don't think KJ's voice is suited for that type of sound at all.

I'm not f***ing here for this Flowers In The Attic shit

okay I'm SHOOK
Buzzjack Riverdale clique after this episode
Posted by: Liаm 5th May 2017, 12:31 PM
I still found this so boring lmao it's so overrated I've just stopped caring
Posted by: Cameron 5th May 2017, 03:08 PM
Kind of an anti-climax 
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 5th May 2017, 03:24 PM
that was great
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 5th May 2017, 04:06 PM
That was a good episode but I was kinda disappointed with it being Clifford, I was convinced half way through that Jaoquin would be revealed as FPs secret son and he was doing it to protect him, or maybe even if it was Jughead, it would have made more sense and woulda been better imo
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 5th May 2017, 04:44 PM
omg that episode was amazing!!! i loved the whole twist with the cooper's actually being blossom's, that was amazing and so unexpected I didn't expect jason's dad to have killed him but it's starting to make sense as to why he did it if the whole maple syrup thing is actually drugs
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 5th May 2017, 06:07 PM
Can we have a KevinXMoose scene now I'm in desperate need for one
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 12th May 2017, 05:19 AM
lmao @ how they handled KJ's broken wrist
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 12th May 2017, 06:12 AM
THEY CAN'T LEAVE IT THERE LIKE THEY JUST CAN'T
Posted by: l♀tita 12th May 2017, 02:40 PM
FFS THAT'S SO CRUEL
Posted by: HarryApa 12th May 2017, 03:06 PM
NO THAT ENDING
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 12th May 2017, 04:04 PM

Posted by: Cameron 12th May 2017, 04:32 PM
Season 2 is going to be fab *.*
Such a great first season!
Posted by: RosaParksMyCar 12th May 2017, 04:50 PM
who will i lust after now
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 01:34 AM
I don't think Fred is going to die. If you look closely you can see that the bullet hit his side so he'll definitely need medical care, and I think this will tie in to his arc for the next season because he's not going to be surveying the construction site anymore due to injury (if anything he'll be cooped up in his office) so he'll probably send Hermione out to check on them. However, Hermione is shady as f*ck so it's going to create some tension between him and the Lodges. Also, the small scene between Mary and Hermione (+ the bits and pieces of Fremione interaction during the early episodes) suggests that the parents' history with each other will play out as the next huge plot.
It's interesting how the writers managed to fit in so much into the season finale despite it being an aftermath episode rather than a climax. I think all throughout Season 1 they have hid a ton of Easter eggs alluding to the comic franchise, which should be taken with a grain of salt. Fred getting shot is actually an allusion to the conclusion of the old Archie era, which revealed that adult Archie would be killed by a bullet while trying to save Kevin.
Saying that, what are your hopes for the second season?
