a year later, I miss Riverdale. Now that a lot of time has passed, I am sooo frustrated by the finale.
Barchie. Them not ending up together still hurts. Rewatching scenes from the earlier seasons, them being endgame made so much sense…and the last season just fades them out completely. In my fan brain, I kinda want to hope that Betty’s version of events in the finale isn’t true, because although I think married/with a family is what Archie wants, I’m sad it wasn’t with Betty. It does kind of sound like she kept in touch with him, maybe?
Jeronica. Season 7 was soooo good on that front, and I got way more than expected. I so badly wanted them to end up together, and I guess I could fan wank that since neither married, it’s possible they did date off and on? Jughead seemed kind of sad that he never married and I’m like…why did they pick this ending for him? So all of the core 4 except Archie remains single? These people who were never single for more than ten minutes since they were 15 years old all stayed single? Really?
Tabitha. I get why the actress wasn’t in the season much but wow did her storyline end with a whimper. It was really unsatisfying and her relationship with Jughead got little closure.
Hiram. So I was convinced he was going to show back up and not really be dead, but then he stayed dead so…did that plot line seem weird to anyone else?
I miss this show even with the lackluster finale.
