Thwip! Watch is all about what goes on our screens, namely TV. Whether CW or Fox or NBC or what-have-you, you can be sure that we here at Thwip! have been watching it. Today we are going to talk about Riverdale.
I kind of liked my Tweet-thoughts for last episode, so am going to continue that format for this series.
- Good “Pep” reference
- Wow, Jason looks ugly…and messed up
- Jughead’s over-dramatic narration is good in that it helps to establish how surreal this show is
- Take a drink, there’s Archie’s abs
- Aww, they are texting
- Ouch, rejected.
- Holy crap, I keep forgetting the girl next door thing was also literal
- Also, no-shirt jogging, take another drink, ’cause they showing off Archie’s abs again
- The shocking hotness of Ms. Grundy has worn off – she looks plastic now
- You know this show really is setting up that this is a world that Sabrina the teenage witch could exist in – a Melissa Joan Hart cameo please!
- Dang, Mama Cooper is a serious asshole
- Why are they walking in the middle of the road? Damn pedestrians
- Reconciliation! Classic Archie story…
- They gotta fix Archie’s brows…
- I still don’t get Archie and Jughead’s tension…they better explain it soon
- Way too much gay Kevin…I liked it when it was just a small part of your personality like in the comics
- I could do with cupcakes around now
- Very weird to have Veronica so repentant – but since Mr. Lodge is missing, this I guess makes sense
- Oooh, foreshadowing of the greatest friendships of all time
- WEATHERBEE IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN! WOHOO!
- Kind of miss Weatherbee’s paunch though
- Man this revelation is dramatic
- And Cheryl is a great antagonist, they are giving her a meaty role
- Repercussions of July 4th are far-reaching! *drama*
- Dang, Cheryl is savage – “living mannequin”
- Professor Flutesnoot exists!
- Dang, Moose is embracing his…masculinity?
- Ouch, rejected
- Why does Archie act as if he shot Jason? Seriously, chill dude
- So far Cheryl is the standout
- THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO A DISSECTION!
- Why is this doctor so creepy? He doesn’t look out of place of a Sherlock episode
- Bring out the Midge!
- Wow, that was a breakdown Betty
- Let’s see what Weatherbee brings to the table
- He (Weatherbee) kind of reminds me of Gus Fring from Breaking Bad – that is kind of terrifying.
- Archie really is an awkward kid…who has the body of someone who isn’t 16
- Damn, now Grundy is going off the deep-end, this is emotional manipulation at its finest
- Finally, Jughead is becoming a part of things…great for all the drama!
- Cheryl is so fourth-wall aware, it is fantastic – she is our Mister Mxyzptlk
- Confrontation! Another classic Betty and Veronica moment
- Veronica explains why “nice guy” syndrome does not work.
- Why was she going to suggest the same thing? That blatant lie hurt my brain
- Pop’s is back to being awesome – hiring Hermione Lodge – it is what he does, saves people through small miracles
- WHY ARE THEY STILL WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD? Stupid pedestrians…
- That was the best Betty story ever…such a Bob Bolling moment – I miss you so much now
- Sorry Cheryl, Betty’s room is a nightmare
- You are over-playing your hand Cheryl
- Oh, she knows it…I shouldn’t have doubted her
- Damn, that is some dramatic music
- WHY AREN’T THEY FRIENDS ANYMORE?? EXPLAIN THIS SHIT RIVERDALE!
- I like how annoyed Jughead is with the fact there are more revelations that he doesn’t know about.
- Ah Jughead, always the voice of reason
- Archie you misplayed your hand
- Lots of poker references today (by me, not the show)
- Also, seriously, what is up with you Mrs. Cooper
- Finally a bit of proper backbone from Betty
- Your mom is fucked up Betty, not crazy…
- Ah Mantle, really such a meathead – love it!
- Ah Reggie and Jughead – eternal adversaries
- FIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
- Yup, that ended just like expected
- Hmmm, Fred giving decent advice? Let’s see how this blows up
- WHY IS KEVIN ALWAYS RANDOMLY WALKING AROUND PLACES? (not as a pedestrian at least)
- Why doesn’t he have his name on the back of his jersey
- Reconciliation! Name of the Archie game folks
- Also, I am still soliciting for burgers for my Thwip! watch episodes, come on people help me out
- SECURITY! (“Head of State” reference, watch the movie, cry yourself to sleep after doing so)
- Where is Chuck Clayton? Come on…
- No…this is not “Sugar, sugar” – this is some remix abomination – DO YOUR OWN SONGS JOSIE!
- Thank god that was short
- Oh shit, Cheryl is losing it
- I am fairly sure this is a Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver situation between Cheryl and Jason
- Oh for the love of crap, don’t fall for that shit Betty
- Whew, she didn’t…
- Also, Pop’s!
- Who is the random fizzicist? Keep Pop’s on stage fools!
- Nicely done, hints and foreshadowings of classic Archie
- Wait, is Flutesnoot’s name Dr. Phylum? That makes no sense…
- Ah Trump’s America – ’cause it looks like Jason was tortured
Still a really weird show, but am around, way too many questions need to be answered before I let go of it.
