cecil saying that the plot of riverdale is wild is so funny because night vale is a very VERY campy show from episode one as well and is so wild and he never bats an eye but riverdale being weird? that’s a whole other story

so, having watched the first 6 seasons… what did you think of riverdale? did you like it? i'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the show :))

I genuinely cannot believe a show with the premise of "edgy grimdark take on Archie comics" is so fucking good. It has no business being this good. No business whatsoever.

Season 1? A murder mystery in a small town full of odd characters and secrets, family issues and generational traumas. Pretty standard CW fare, but with an added element of class commentary that was surprisingly thoughtful. Every character is so interesting and well fleshed out. Every episode feels so intentional. Fantastic balance of plot and character development with an ending I TRULY did not see coming. 10/10

Season 2 is more of a thriller, or a slasher even. Funnily enough though the plot got more sensational, the characters felt more grounded. The story felt very character focused and driven. Every insane detail made perfect sense in the context of what the characters were dealing with. They also really built on the class commentary from season 1 and fleshed out the world of Riverdale. Iconic Jughead moments in every episode. 11/10

Season 3 focused far more on plot, sometimes to the direct detriment of characters in ways that frustrated me. But the plot was interesting enough to keep me from being too bitter about that, especially as the season went on and the character-driven storytelling started to reassert itself. Overall I preferred seasons 1 and 2, but season 3 is iconic in its own way for sure. Betty supremacy this season! 9.5/10

Season 4 was a welcome return to what I genuinely consider to be the central theme of Riverdale as a whole: class struggle and the wicked excesses and abuses of the capitalist elites. I loved the return to more grounded, character-focused storytelling, and the boarding school mystery is a classic trope. It was also nice seeing the characters less siloed into separate stories and more in pairs or groups. There were definitely storylines I cared about more than others (Veronica's endless cycle with her dad began to grate after three seasons of the same shit over and over; I wanted to see her win!). But overall it was a fantastic season that made incredible use of its non-linear storytelling device. Also? Cooper-Jones family absolutely owned this season for me. 12/10

Season 5 was hard for me at first. I balked at the state of everyone after the time jump, especially Veronica ans Jughead. But eventually I realized that the thing that made me balk so hard was how heartbreakingly realistic it was. Once I got past that, I was able to truly enjoy this extremely grounded small town political drama. Archie and Veronica really shone this season, though I continued to be frustrated by Ronnie and Hiram's storyline. This was definitely the season where Archie came into his own, though, and in my opinion Veronica's true victory over her father as well. Toni had a much more central story as well, given how deeply entwined with Riverdale and the Serpents she is, which I loved. This felt like a more adult take on seasons 1 and 2, with the characters now adults who are fully responsible for how their community turns out, rather than kids just trying to survive it. 10/10

Season 6 was pure unfiltered wackadoo in the best way possible. The writers have never adhered to genre conventions, but in this season they took genre as a concept, ran it through a crosscut paper shredder, burned the scraps, and scattered the ashes. The addition of magic made an odd kind of sense given Riverdale exists in the same universe as Greendale, and the Rivervale episodes had me riveted and horrified. The fact that magic in Riverdale is grounded in pre-existing worldbuilding and character development certainly helps. Like of course Betty can see threatening auras and Pop's is the final battleground between good and evil! Of course the devil is a businessman and angels are comrades! Of course the police are corrupt agents of violent control! Riverdale really said the ultimate battle between good and evil is fought with unions, mutual aid, and class solidarity. Chef's kiss. 27/10

I cannot wait to see how it all ends. Though I'll be sad that it's over.

Wicker Man (1973) references in the end of 6x01 "Welcome to Rivervale"

The Maypole Song

And on that tree there was a limb

And on that limb there was a branch

And on that branch there was a nest

And in that nest there was an egg

And in that egg there was a bird

And from that bird a feather came

And of that feather was

A bed …

And on that bed there was a girl

And on that girl there was a man

And from that man there was a seed

And from that seed there was a boy

And from that boy there was a man

And for that man there was a grave

From that grave there grew

A tree …

Cheryl:

"What she's saying is that

women can't be sacrifices.

Women must bear children.

But men...

Their blood is the seed.

Their blood is what nourishes

the ground and the furrows.

Their blood is what will bring

Rivervale back to its glory."

#theres other references during the episode like the toad in the mouth to heal a child #the dance around the maypole with white and red ribbons #but this is the part i find the most interesting #also both archie and howie believe they are there to save someone else from sacrifice #riverdale #wicked man (1973)

That will be the downfall to Toni and Fangs relationship. The point of not being on the same page. Once Toni finds out what Fangs have done it will put a divide between them. Which I think will lead to how they devide the town in the good vs evil storyline.

Hi there—I’m assuming your ask refers to my live-watching post about Kevin's call to Fangs about discussing custody between the three of them. However, instead of saying something like he’d need to run the offer by Toni first, Fangs simply declines and promises to see Kevin in court. 

I think you’re right that Fangs’ decision will cause (or exacerbate existing) problems for T*ngs. I’d also argue that the divide has been growing since at least the initial post-Rivervale episodes.

At different points this season, Fangs has failed to consult Toni on matters affecting not only the couple, but also their child. For example, he doesn’t inform her of the Serpents’ plans to fight the Ghoulies. Instead, he lets her believe that he supports her efforts to prevent a gang war, while he’s actually helping to derail these efforts behind her back. Most egregiously, this leads to Fangs storing illegal guns in their home without Toni’s knowledge (I’m sure this was done for narrative purposes, but you’d think a gang leader would delegate gun storage duties to an underling). This decision makes T*ngs an easy target for Pickens and his goons, threatening their ability to retain custody of their child. 

I think this incident is where we see the first major cracks forming between T*ngs. Although Toni apparently forgives Fangs and welcomes him back into their home, he doesn’t seem particularly grateful for his second chance, or all that remorseful for getting them into this situation. Upon his release from jail, he even scolds Toni for dancing at the Wyrm, fretting over how her actions may potentially impact their custody battle. 

I’m not sure how the divide between “good and evil” will play out in terms of which side each character eventually aligns. But I imagine Percival, like any good villain, is working to identify and exploit weaknesses in various relationships—romantic, platonic, familial, etc. But these weak points were already present—whether quite obviously or simmering beneath the surface—and all he's really doing is applying pressure in the hopes that these cracks become deeper and wider and eventually shatter. 

In terms of T*ngs’ relationship, I think Toni could eventually conclude that the current facets of her life (e.g. mother and guidance counselor vs. gang leader) are no longer compatible, and choose her child’s well-being over the Serpents and her boyfriend. Of course, the story could go in a completely different direction. But in any case, I think T*ngs is on borrowed time.
