Riverdale

[KyleEl]

I thought that was Betty. I finally realized she was fantasizing she was her sister.

How do people in Riverdale decide what is acceptable for all comic books? Oh, wait, this is a parallel universe where they are in high school in 1955, after having become adults in 2022.

Those borderline pornographic photos look like art when black and white.

[KyleEl]

So now we know how Sabrina was created.

I don't understand why Josie isn't also one of the teenagers. Or how a Black woman could win a Tony in 1955.

And the episode became quite naughty at times.

[KyleEl]

I'm so relieved. Cheryl was just having a nightmare. She looked good, though.

Mostly a black and white episode.

And now we know why Betty's parents care so much about Ethel. But it would affect the station? There wasn't TV that many years ago.

[KyleEl]

Now they know. Tabitha came back. I'm not planning to watch next week, at least for a while. It'll be the last one. Now there are more episodes, but they're terrible.

Anyway, they accomplished what they set out to do. Weatherbee became principal, and he's so much nicer than he ever was.

I don't really understand what they watched. It takes time to watch six seasons. But they agreed with me that it was terrible.

[KyleEl]

I'll just watch the older episodes set in ... how can anything be set in "the present"? They skipped ahead several years and traveled back in time from 2023.

[KyleEl]

Oops. I thought I was watching one of those, but that was the finale. Of course whatever is listed first is newest. Sometimes they get listed in reverse order.

Well, it was a good way to end it. We find out everyone's future.

[KyleEl]

I've seen two of the episodes from the previous season. I'm watching in reverse order. The only way to do it because I'll know what happens and feel better about what's happening to these people. It's amazing how bad this series got. This became yet another superhero show complete with all the supervillains and near disasters. They actually had an "Under the Dome" situation. Well, technically. It was also like "OUAT" because outsiders could get in, but whether they could get out afterward I don't know.

[KyleEl]

Wow, this show is getting worse and worse. But each time I know that everything will be all right.

Resurrecting the dead turned out to be more complicated than I had expected. But who wants to leave this heavenly place?

I liked Sabrina at first but she wasn't so pleasant later on. I was glad that when she went to ask the dead to come back, her hairstyle was the one I remember from cartoons.

[KyleEl]

It looked like all was well and Persival had been defeated. But I knew what was getting ready to happen.

[KyleEl]

I forgot this was an option. But after the latest episodes, maybe that's a good thing.

[KyleEl]

Archie and Veronica almost died. I'm so glad I already knew they were going to be fine. And Cheryl's reluctance to reunite with Heather ... I also knew how that would turn out.

[KyleEl]

This show just keeps getting weirder, and that is as I move backwards. Jughead is deaf but reads minds? Fog that causes the power to go out? And now we know what made Percival the mayor.

[KyleEl]

And our time traveler first discovered her powers. Lots of problems to solve because Percival has been causing trouble for years.

[KyleEl]

Cheryl is hot. Literally.

Veronica's competition came up with a way to cope.

[KyleEl]

Cheryl is killing people! But it's only Abigail possessing her. They fixed that.

Meanwhile, Percival got Toni off the council and he has replaced her. And Toni can't raise a baby. You don't want to know what happened to the Goulies.

[KyleEl]

Cheryl's mom is unbelievably cruel. No wonder she ended up like she did. One birthday she didn't get any presents and had to face the wall while her twin brother had a party with presents.

Meanwhile, the town is starting to discover Percival manipulates people. Jughead, who reads minds, was the first to find out why these things were happening.

[KyleEl]

I haven't had a chance to watch any more episodes and I hope I'm not losing the older ones.

But I just saw that Jughead is Frankenstein's monster.

[KyleEl]

So I knew what was going to happen when Archie was handed palladium.

A new man in town introduced himself and said he had plans to make Riverdale great. Oh, if they only knew.

So Jughead couldn't read minds. Well, he would have to by episode's end.

[KyleEl]

Keep forgetting to go back. Archie just survived the explosion and doesn't know why at first but he's discovering he's invulnerable and attacking the gang who blew up his house, which he bought. Veronica had her father taken care of and I knew how that ended up. Abigail possessed Cheryl when her nana helped get Abigil out of Brittania.

I'm so glad I watch all this knowing how it will all come out.

[KyleEl]

Okay, I'm seeing the "Rivervale" series. The last installment was quite violent but no one actually dies.

[KyleEl]

Yikes! Three versions of Cheryl but she's actually immortal. Betsy is an obedient wife even though she and her friends in 1957 talk like they will be strong and independent. She doesn't want a baby but has one anyway. Jughead, whatever his name is, is Betsy's abusive husband. And the episode ends with the curse removed and Abigail in Cheryl's body.

[KyleEl]

The Devil bought several souls but made deals that got some people their souls back. But hints of what was to come in Season 7 were everywhere.

Betty killed an innocent man!

[KyleEl]

One more to go. I decided to watch the oldest "Rivervale" and things were so weird that I was glad it wasn't "real".

I don't know how many others I have recorded but I've avoided them because of all the episodes I lost.

[KyleEl]

All done. I thought Jughead and his girl were getting along really well. Then they wanted to kill each other.

And a demon wanted Baby Anthony. This came up later in the series, I believe, so not everything went away when the five weeks were over.
