No Tomorrow ends on a huge cliffhanger.
I really need to get started on Veronica Mars. I've heard it's supposed to be really good.
Ah shit. Maybe they'll make a definite end with an online episode.
Betty's mom.
Betty but as her alter ego Polly.

Those two are prime suspects for me. #2 makes most sense to me if the assumption is true.
Aside from those two there just aren't enough characters with motive yet. Maybe we see the dark side of more characters soon.
Supernatural is still good and has stayed consistent throughout the whole run. I wish Veronica Mars had more seasons and it's a shame it hadn't.

I'm still going with Ethel as my suspect. She was straight up creepin' in the last episode and I want this to be some 4D chess master endgame where she was manipulating everyone. She throws Hiriam Lodge's money in the back of Chuck's stolen ride and drives away from the town laughing.
1. Mr. Cooper (I'm not letting that one go, I'm convinced it was him)

Is there an episode this week?
Also, never sure who wants to know what so I'll spoiler tag it to be safe..in regards to Polly

Polly was cast so this should end any theories of Betty being Polly, no? - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1975050/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t17

That's really the heart of the show, the love triangle. Obviously not the murder mystery, whether one finds it interesting or not. Personally, I don't at all. Of course, there will be people who like it, and is enough to hang onto the love triangle.
But you'd have to have a really odd sense of taste to think the show's strength is the murder mystery. I find only someone who barely knows anything about crime fiction or good murder mysteries could possibly feel this way, imo.
Of all the glut of great crime fiction we get, this isn't even mediocre, imo. It's flat out sub par, and bad. Bland, uninteresting, and cliched, with nothing beyond, 'weird things happen in the suburbs" to it. And the show does absolutely nothing to get you to care about the dead person.
It's almost objectively bad crime fiction. But the love triangle is watchable. The soap elements. Shoulda just kept that and made it funnier and lighter. Right now, it feels like a parody project from some high school students satirising how media likes to make everything dark and grounded in crime. Like a bad sophomoric joke, almost.
This doesn't even feel like a good CW show, imo, which isn't exactly the most ambitious of states to get to anyway.
Are we gonna see you in here for the rest of the season fucking repeating yourself? If so, on my ignore list you go.
So, a Sabrina show is a go? Pleeeease.
You've got to stop using the word objectively, full stop.
And this shit is just wrong. You're not being subtle with your "oh you like something I think is stupid, and I think you're an idiot for it".

If this was just a high school rom com then I would have checked out within the first episode. I know that's what Archie was at its core but that's also why I stopped reading it after a while. Characters barely developed, stories barely progressed and it was just a monotonous cycle stretched out to sell comics, which is udedstandable.
At least there is some overarching story here that people who watch every week can follow. If I wanted a rom com with hijinks and limited plot/character development I can just rewatch Friends or How I Met Your Mother.

She's who I have my eye on now too. She even got the hashtag treatment from Cheryl. Suspicious!
hey guys, I'm interested on reading the comics. Does anyone know what is a good place to begin with? Do I need any previous Archie knowledge to read that one with the Punisher? Or the one with Predator?
Dude, it's okay to not like the show, but you seem to have this really bad habit of trying to invalidate people's opinions

Mark Waid's current Archie run is a fantastic modern take, should be the most recognizable to the show.
Yes 13
yeah, 13 and they confirmed the murder will be solved in this season.
Mark Waid is hit or miss for me, but eh, I will give it a try.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I always believed that Polly was indeed real, though her being cast just confirms that. Polly remains my suspect, whether it's actually her or Betty's "Polly" persona instead
Seriously. We haven't had one of those since TVD went to shit. Riverdale isn't quite there yet but it definitely has the potential.
Television is better when there's a good teen soap.

I'm here for the murder mystery but don't know if I will watch beyond the murder mystery subplot.
I'm open to being impressed of course.
To add to the last few posts, got into CW shows with Smallville, then Supernatural, Vampire Diaries
Once Arrow came on, I realized 80% of my tv viewing belonged to the CW....that's really impressive

So does this mean we're good for Riverdale S2, or too soon to tell?
It's doing slightly better than the other new shows and WB made a deal with Archie so it seems everything is working. Looks like we're good.
The show started airing officially in Brazil on the Warner channel this week. Seems to be getting a decent push in newspapers and girl magazines, where they're making sure to mention Camila's parents are Brazilian. Some exclusive interviews with the cast too on local websites.

Where do they find these actors?! They must grow them in a warehouse lab in Vancouver. Reinhart is on another level with that magazine cover.
I might expand my Archie-verse haul tomorrow when I hit up the comic shop. I've been sticking to just Archie, Afterlife with Archie, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Thinking about dipping my toes into Josie & The Pussycats and Jughead too.

The 100 does 16 ep seasons, woudn't be surprised if they try and get that model for the show.
Current Jughead is pretty good, not as good as Archie but still worth reading. Waid is taking it over too.
Jughead is pretty fun. I still need to check out Josie. I've been wondering about the new Reggie series by Tom DeFalco too, I already like that dachshund.
I kinda liked the idea of different comedic writers writing a few issues then passing the torch to another, but I'm definitely not opposed to more Waid.
edit: looks like he'll be co-writing it with Ian Flynn (Mega Man).

I miss when TVD was good. I haven't watched it in a while, but I will watch when Nina comes back.

I don't remember which episode but there was a part of the soundtrack that made me instantly think of the Archie's Weird Mysteries theme. Idk if I'm just making that shit up though.
Betty/"Polly" held Jason captive and tortured him, her mother was the one who actually pulled the trigger.
Let's talk about Ethel and the Playbook
First thing to note are the boys names.
Last year it was 1. Thomas, 2. Jason, 3. Moose, 4. Reggie, 5. Chuck and 6. Dave
This year it is 1. Chuck, 2. Reggie, 3. Andrew, 4. Steve, 5. Scott, 6. Moose
The fact there is 6 of them seems to be a thing and Chuck jumps from number 5 all the way to 1 showing he is a playa while poor Moose ain't making enough plays and drops to 6.
Then for Ethel we see she went with Thomas and Reggie in the same week (BRO SHARE!!) and the "big girl" comment isn't necessarily about her. And after summer break Ethel drops from a 7.5 to a 6. (or 6.5)
Also Veronica is only scored an 8 + 1 for being a new girl. These boys have a serious CW grading curve. Can't wait until we see Stephanie (9).
I guess the point is to be wary of the Twin Peaks comparisons, given the only similarities are (some) attractive actors and the murder mystery.

Midge. Yeah Moose! I'm guessing they got a more platonic thing and he's using her as a beard. Or maybe Moose is bi.
What brought this slut shame thing home for me is that my university literally had the exact same thing happen. Except it was a Facebook group with photos, and a frat not a football team. So every part of this rang true for me, even women defending the dudes.

Is this show any good? 24 pages on GAF is surprising for something that seems very "CW".
speaking of which, I need Kevin to stop snubbing him so we can get a proper make out scene.
I had a crazy 2008 where I got Swine Flu, then a kidney infection, then shingles. While i was down I binged through all of Supernatural with my wife then I started down the dark path of Vampire Diaries with her and now I watch everything they show.
right? if they aren't going to interact this season I want the actors to at least take a selfie together.
