Riverdale |OT| Teen Peaks (or: Archie's Weirder Mysteries) - Thursday, 9/8c on The CW
- Thread starter cj_iwakura
- Start date
This episode kind of confirms all of the parents in town are scumbags/insane with the exception (so far) of Archie's dad and Kevin's dad. Like damn, this town is messed up.
This guy right here too.
Disappointed there aren't gifs of the hallway strut yet.
YepI was doing that too

Would that be another drug gang. Do serpents even do drugs?
Kevin said they're a gang of "drug dealers and petty thieves", but we don't know how they operate on the drug front yet.

Just watched it. Damn, Josie's dad is such a dick. All the parents outside Fred and Sheriff Keller are bad people. Jeez.
Val is amazing and I'm glad she's getting character development. Happy Josie is becoming more than a diva jerk too.
Polly being pregnant was something I started to expect so I wasn't surprised at the reveal. Didn't expect the whole Jason running away thing to be about raising a family, though the drugs in the back of the car kinda set off some alarm bells regarding that idea. The show is definitely setting up one of Betty's parents to be the killer but I feel like there's gonna be a swerve somewhere.
Betty and Jughead being somewhat of an item is something I expected, but not something that I thought Juggy would initiate. Kinda funny how Archie was kept away from the mystery despite wanting to be a part of it this time. Appreciated the Scooby Gang reference.
Veronica in the Pussycats suit... damn.
And finally: That product placement is hilarious. Feels intentionally funny, actually. Archie gonna get too influenced by his DC collection soon enough.

Wow, major props to CW for getting music from the show up so fast.
I was just curious to see the name of a song and found out that almost every song is already up on Amazon and iTunes. Awesome.

We had dialogue that was cut from this little montage-- Jughead made Betty laugh before finding the car-- thus this little moment 👐🏻

lol, so that's why they were laughing for a second in that scene.

Solid episode.
I'm just waiting for Barry and Kara to jump into Riverdale where they help Archie in the Battle of the Bands against the Pussycats.

Tnh I think I care far more about the regular drama than the murder mystery crap.
Nice that we got note Josie focus this episode, never realised how drop dead gorgeous she was before.
I prefer my Jugheads sexless. Don't like this.

Just watched this episode.
I know this has been said many times, but man this show is good.
Archie is still as interesting as a brick, but at least he's there to keep new best girl Val around. Bughead is cute, but I think I would prefer if he was assexual. Can't wait to see how Veronica will act now that whatever trust she had on her mother is gone. I hope Josie's issues lead us somewhere, because I can't see it being tied to anything else on the show.

AV Club using the first half of this weeks review of Riverdale to detail how and why Archie is actually an unintelligent idiot on this show is pretty hilarious.

Man, I felt the same way when Archie went "I don't think I know who (Bob Dylan) is."
Most of all of my knowledge of music is concentrated to Hip-hop, R7B and some pop music along with basic stuff i learned in middle and primary school. I know who Bob Dylan is and i'm not a musician.
WHAAAT.
DC Rebirth has been amazing.
Superman, Action Comics, Nightwing, Detective Comics, Green Lantern, Teen Titans, etc. have all been great.
How are you not enjoying it :/?
It probably not the DC thing he has contention with but Archie liking something he does. Just guessing probably horribly wrong.
This is so true. Especially the part where he said I was born alone. Ill die alone. Ill sing alone. . It felt like a kid repeating a dialogue he saw on an afternoon soap.
I also expected him to trip over the wires or something after his decent performance, but I guess it's too much to expect an otherwise subversive take to fully embrace the goffy slapstick , no-so-brigtht comics version of Archie.
And very useful that they can be Shazamed.
If only that was the twist of the music meister.
The Blossom parents are as suspect as anyone. Jason had besmirched the family's honor multiple times over (getting with Polly, dealing drugs, running away) and they're controlling as hell. Moreover, they've got tremendous motive to destroy the evidence, as it's also proof of Jason's failings.
I don't think the show is going to touch the twincest thing.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeep. and Yep.
Just watched each episode to catch up, and dang is this show entertaining. Haven't had a show draw me in like this in a while. I heard good things from friends but I didn't expect the characters to be so well written and drama done so well.
As for the current episode, how far could a pregnant teen go when running away? Doesn't seem like she'd get far or disappear but who knows. As for the car burning, kind of feels weird that the killer or whoever is hiding the evidence from the car would wait until someone found it before burning it. Seeing as both the Blossoms or Coopers wouldn't be at the variety show they're still my suspects, more so for the Blossoms. But knowing these shows, it's always outta left field.

I think it's likely Polly herself burned the car. She told Betty about it thinking Jason was alive and had removed the car from that place long ago, but after she found out he was dead it became top priority to get rid of it because of its contents. She then ran away from the home and went straight to the car.
Then again, she's pregnant and was probably bleeding as there was blood on the broken window of her room, so I don't know how much of a stretch this is. But it's the only theory I can think of for now that makes sense for the car being burned when it was.

I figured someone knew about it and was using it as safe storage for the drugs inside, once they realize someone knows about it, they burnt it.
My suspect is Jughead's dad or another one of the Serpents

I'm telling myself that he is asexual and just did that for appearances.

They need to focus more on Kevin and his relationships. We haven't seen his new guy since his first appearance. Still waiting on Moose and Kevin to happen.
The plot kinda moved quickly from that point on. I'm sure it'll be addressed in the next episode.

I miss the old Grayson
Spy suave and bold Grayson
Butt that you could mold Grayson
Rebirth has been okay for me. I just don't like change lol. Green Lanterns has been alright, caught up on that recently. Green Arrow is more of a miss. Good concepts, meh execution.
I'm behind on Nightwing cause it wasn't grabbing me. I might come back if the current arc gets good buzz.
Personally, I thought Bludhaven arc has been alright, but it's really picking up now. The last issue specifically had some great laughs haha.
If you haven't (you probably have), check out Detective Comics. Probably my favorite Rebirth book.
And if anyone in this thread isn't reading it, read the new Archie comic by Mark Waid. It's great.
