Okay so i’ve been watching this show for the first time as per my best friend’s request, since it is his favorite show. I have now reached season 4 and was honestly very curious about what they would do with Edgar Evernever and the Farm since we were left on kind of a cliffhanger regarding that arc.
I know Riverdale is infamous at this point for its nonsensical storylines and plot points, but i was quite intrigued with this whole organ harvesting fiasco. I personally did not see that coming throughout season 3 and thought they had so much potential on where to take it.
So… tell me why i started season 4 and all of a sudden i hear my girl Alice say that this darned man was building himself a rocket so he could take off??? What exactly was the point of that?? Maybe i missed something? Y’all, what on EARTH? I know they’d talk about “ascending” but this is (even for Riverdale’s standards) just SILLY. I brought it up to my best friend and he just laughed and admitted that this moment has always puzzled the hardcore fans.
I’m very sure i’m not the first person to bring this up, but i just needed to say something because y’all needed to see the appalled and bewildered reaction i had to the word “rocket”. This show has had several moments that make me want to rip my own hair out but this one easily takes the absurd cake.
Anyone else ship Toni and Jughead in season 2??? I never hear anyone talk abt them
On season 2 of a rewatch and i’ve never thought it before (i’ve rewatched like…5 times lmao) but i wish we could’ve gotten a more obvious love triangle with those two and Betty. Obviously don’t ship them much later than that bc im a Choni die hard. But i love their chemistry and would have liked them to lean into it a bit more, cause more tension with Bughead.
The cheerleading scene in S1 ep10 is so cringe to me
I’m on S1 Ep9 and I think they’d make a cute couple (yes I like toni & Cheryl) but Archie and Cheryl would be iconic
We have actually created a subreddit just for that - r/OakPeak
The goal of the subreddit is to seem like a normal town in Washington at first sight, but lurking through it, you will very quickly realize that something isn't as it seems. There are strange people needing your invitation to come inside your house, mysterious grey saucers flying above Oak Mountain, and bizarre radio transmissions broadcasting coded messages.
We have a monthly newspaper, we run scripted and non-scripted storylines, and we are preparing our very own podcast and a series of ARGs.
Riverdale isn't the only town that sparked the idea for this subreddit. We are also drawing heavily from towns like Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls, Hawkins, Brights Falls, and even Stars Hollow.
If you like this idea, please come join us!

Drop the common lines you’re annoyed by
For me i believe season 6 would've been the perfect ending.
Why is "beatrice cooper" a person? didn't the cooper name only exist 2 generations before Hal?
What's your opinion who made the most sense since no one was picked? Who do you think they were leaning towards?
I just finish the whole series,I start to watch in 2020 and finish in 2024,emotional but not the ending I was expecting,my favorite serie even if I am a male,I grew up with this series and I cry
He totally prepared me for the goofy aspects. But at the same time, he definitely exaggerated a lot too, either for views, or because he probably didn't understand the writers' intentions at that moment (probably because he was already writing the show off from a certain point of view).
The Archie/Grundy plot line, the parents were right: it was foul and was literally just grooming, and the kids didn’t want to understand.
The parents telling the kids to stop investigating the MURDER of Jason, another child their age (i think in s1 they’re supposed to be 15/16). Very reasonable and SMART to tell their KIDS to stop getting themselves involved with crime and stop potentially putting themselves in harms way.
The kid’s know nothing. Like at all, because they’re kids, and the parents always tell them that. I don’t know whether this was on purpose by the writers or not bc I know the parents eventually become quite unlikeable.
I’m rewatching the series and throughout all of s1 and (most of 2) i can’t help but be so happy when one of the parents monologues or tells the kids off bc they’re always so right. I just hate that the kids never listen and i pray that at some point they do.
I know it’s because they’re the main characters but still omfg.
Does it annoy anyone else how much Veronica (sometimes Cheryl) says “DaDdY” just something about it really annoys me lmao !
I’m sorry but season 1 is so overrated lol like there isn’t any Toni and no choni. It’s also so boring apart from the first episode. Season 2 is superior
after putting it off for months, finally watched the last episode of riverdale. Holy shite. Who actually ever got attached to any of the sh*t that happened in the 50’s. I thought we were finally going to go back to season 1. with all of riverdale’s plot holes and goofiness, apparently letting them go back to the current timeline was too much of a stretch!! I’m sick 2 my stomach, what did they do to my Riverdale? Take me back to when they first found the footage of jason blosom getting shot in the head by his dad. Let me know what you think in the comment section 👇 below
When Betty and her mom are cleaning the blood and Archie and agent Adams are arguing and he kicks the drum set over and Betty and her mom heard it ghen archie says you could’ve woke up my dad😂😂
Why Ethel thought that Rivervale wasn't meant to exist and they were an aberrations and anomaly that would be fix? In my opinion Rivervale was meant to exist because that explotion of creation and destruction created the pocket universe, if wasn't to meant exist why was created?
were there times when you had a realization of anything about the show? here’s mine:
So this is maily just cause I love these two characters and their dynamic deserved to be followed further!! But my theory is that when Penelope and Clifford had Cheryl and Jason, they actually only had Jason but they have too keep the Blossom twins curse (??) alive so to hide this fact they blackmailed Fred and Mary so take Cheryl from them as they actually had twins (don't ask why the town didn't know, this is Riverdale maybe the Blossom's just mind controlled them to forget or something) so Cheryl is actually part of the Andrews' family and Archie's twin but they just never found out cause Cheryl never knew and Fred had to keep it a secret otherwise sumn rly bad would happen.
I was watching Pretty Little Liars yesterday and there were no sex scenes. They are both catered towards the same audience and PLL is not that sexual. Now I thought maybe PLL was an exception but then I looked at One Tree Hill and THe Vampire diaries and although they have hot characters, it is still not that sexual (excluding specific storylines). So my question is why is Riverdale so sexual?!
How many of you are there?
I know I'm very late to the game but I started watching Riverdale last week. I was inspired after seeing Cole Sprouse in Lisa Frankenstein.
I'm onto season 2 now and after the first episode I knew who the Black Hood was. I googled it to be sure, and I was right. I later looked at past threads on here, and was shocked that the writers and actors didn't really plan for it to be Hal Cooper.
I knew it was him because I thought I recognised his eye wrinkles and eyebrows, although his build and head shape probably contributed too. I ignored the weird CGI green eye thing. But then I read someone say that the actor for Hal Cooper (Lochlyn Munro) didn't even play the Black Hood?
Was it just really bad/good luck that the stunt/extra actor they hired for the Black Hood looked like Lochlyn Munro?
Unless the idea that it was Hal Cooper was already subconsciously in my mind from when I was browsing spoilers to find out more about the series before I committed to watching it.
Hii, I wonder that in the 1975 timeline, Rivervale still exist after Tabitha woved all the timelines into the 1975 timeline to fortify and stabilize it?
Should we watch the Season 7 episode before the season 4 episode since it takes place in 1955 or just keep watching them in regular order?
