Riverdale 3x18 Promo, "Jawbreaker"
In two weeks, Archie's still doing boxing, Betty's still fighting The Farm, Jughead's caught between both his parents, and Veronica does whatever the fuck the dartboard in the writers room lands on this week.

But this is kind of an old article

I’m so into the Farm shit, wtf do they do to make people see the dead? I REALLY wish this would tie into Sabrina but we can’t have nice things. Here for Betty and Toni teaming up to bust Cheryl and Alice out. Betty snapped in the promo. She said where my wig??? Lmao
Anytime they mention Jason on the show I’m super intrigued. For starters it always allows us to check in with Cheryl’s psyche, because her grief is something she’s going to battle for the rest of her life and I don’t want the show to forget that. It’s also nice because it’s a call-back to its roots (and its most interesting storyline). Also I like that he’s kind of this mythic haunting figure in town, and I hope we learn some crazy shit about his connection to the Farm in the first place.
The fight scene was pretty cool tbh. I bet everyone had fun. Lol I sound like such a dad.
Veronica’s storyline has had its ups and downs all season but now it’s just a snore. She truly works best as a member of the gang and especially with the other girls. In fact all the girl team ups on this show are awesome. Why don’t they milk that enough?
I like the direction this season is going towards the end now for the most part. I’m excited to binge the whole thing because as disjointed as it’s seemed all season, they’ve actually stuck to the same general plot points all season and I bet it’ll feel more cohesive as a summer binge.

It still felt weird though ...

And I'm laughing at Toni probably living with Cheryl again. They really just broke them up so there could be some tension between them during the musical.
at the end of the day even when these kids do stupid ass things... they're just kids. they made dumb choices, trying to do what's right with fucked up parents in a fucked up town. there methods may be stupid or severely wrong... but they're trying to help, and make things better. only they're teens, and shouldn't be doing having to deal with these responsibilities.
the parents in this town [sans fred, mary, sierra, and tom] are all awful fucked up parents who have either verbally, physically or emotionally abused their children.
fp idek what they're doing with him. it's like they want to have it seem like he's redeemed but he still sucks a lot of the time. it's very inconsistent imho.
~Can’t we be sEvEnTeEEEeeeEeEeeEeN???!?!!1!
This show's idea of redemption is a character going to church off screen. Or just saying "I'm sorry" and not doing anything to repair the damage they've done.
One of the writers had a Twitter Q&A, and someone asked about Reggie's abuse to which he said they "could" explore that in the future. COULD! Like his dad taking swings at him is just some weird window dressing that they didn't expect people to latch onto. I'm going to fucking submit a listicle to Flare about how this show thinks abuse is no big deal
and i saw that answer about reggie! they really just threw in that abuse with no plan to address it, just sick

is fp/alice going to happen bc i need my rufus/lily dan/serena weirdness to happen here.
all i can hope for is that the fanfic delivers where the show fails to.
Falice got put on ice because FP wants to make it work with the mother of his children (when asked point blank if he loves Gladys, he literally just said that she's the mother of his children). But tension is afoot given he's taking his job as sheriff seriously, and Gladys is the new drug kingpin. And I guess the Serpents aren't supposed to mix into the cult stuff so FP probably isn't part of Alice being wooed by Edgar until closer to the end. And who knows what they'll do with Gladys
i'm excited to see how toni gets involved though, i think she'll end up being the one to successfully infiltrate the farm to keep an eye on cheryl and report back to betty
wish i cared about anything else happening on this show anymore, but i really don't. the lodge marriage and/or mob storyline? oh my god, end it already. the boxing storyline? yawn (do like mad dog tho). the serpents? i hate them now.
I've long since stopped believing in their friendship but things like this just really crack me up
I just fucking can't that Veronica BEGGED HER FUCKING MOM TO LEAVE HIRAM at the beginning of the season....and now she's doing whatever the fuck
lmao I'm dying
she was begging her mom to leave him last season
also seeing cmm right next to evelyn was a bit weird like he definitely doesn't look old enough to be her dad. also when he walked into the room to see betty he looked just like lucas scott and i was having hot flashes that stupid flannel omg
mad dog is really hot i want him to be a regular i hope elio doesn't kill him or sth. sad baby teeth had to die tho like he just got out of juvie ffs
betty is an idiot i mean like clearly cheryl is deep into the farm and she takes all tapes to her without even making copies like sis why you gotta be so transparent. and i wanted her to ask edgar why the fuck they came to riverdale in the first place now i have to wait to find out. and also it took them forever to happen like jason died forever ago but now they're hot stuff good for them and their marketing team i guess.
I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to myself :(
