Riverdale 2x05 When A Stranger Calls - Live Thoughts
I LOVE when shows pick up from the EXACT scene that the last episode finished!
“To set Riverdale on the righteous path again” okay this is telling. He’s saying that the town was messed up BEFORE he came. He did not create the unsafety in Riverdale. Well, he did with the murders, but point being that it was a messed up town BEFORE he even started doing anything. So we need to be looking at the people he has murdered (or attempted)
If that were me… I don’t care what they say, I would tell my parents and the police about the call! Just tell the police and parents to lay low, because if the BH knows that they know, there’ll be trouble. Problem solved?? I’m such a simplistic person haha
I still can’t get over that the head guy of the south-side serpents just looks like a combination of a chubby Cole and a chipmunk lol
Cole has good days and he has bad days. Unfortunately his speech that he’s ready to be a serpent was cringe worthy for me. Sorry Cole
“Do this then you get to ask me anything and I have to answer” - I bet it’ll be “I never said I have to answer truthfully” or something like that. They’re gonna pull a PLL and tease us that we’re getting answers but we won’t.
Holy shit Alice was a south side serpent!!!?!?
HOT DOG!!? from the comics!? Omg!
Awww I actually felt bad for Alice. I feel bad when kids rebel against their parents even when it’s somewhat justified.
Veronica’s boyfriend is way too extra. You can’t flirt when she’s with someone new…
Omg! Betty would know the person under the hood. Then again, in PLL Hanna texted Alex asking if she knows who she is and Alex said yes. PLL was full of annoying “clues” like that but I feel like this genuinely means something in Riverdale. I feel like these writers know where they’re going.
Cole made me cringe before but now in the diner with Betty… amazing
“Did somebody say party” and in walks Cheryl, god I love her
“10 o clock? I’ll be there at 11” HAHAHAHAHA ME
Veronica being friendly with her ex-boyfriend is just the beginning of a cliche CW-esque plot
That. Was. Intense. (Betty vs Veronica) I hate when shows cause arguments between best friends! Hopefully this doesn’t last long. Please don’t be a season-long story. I don’t think it will be because Betty was forced to do it so that truth should come out when we progress with the Black Hood’s story.
1) Lili, love your work. 2) Betty, I respect your courage and that you’re taking one for the team. Ending important relationships because it means no more murders… so much respect.
Wait Hiram and Hal know each other??? Am I forgetting some extreme basics (currently watching at 2am) or is that totally new information?
YAAAAS ALICE!!!! The snakes outfit omg
“I’m gonna go yell at the caterer” Veronica said to her parents then to the caterer she says “can you please top them up?” I love this subtle line. Shows what a different person she has to become when with her parents.
Ok when you spike someone’s drink it doesn’t desolve into the water in 0.01 seconds. Cheryl should’ve noticed
That is fucked up. That’s what it takes to become a serpent? Memorise some rules and cop a near-fatal beating? Just to prove you’re tough? Oh there’s a million other ways to prove toughness.
Character development!! From thinking Cheryl is the enemy to full on protecting her. I love this scene where Veronica saved Cheryl from the creep. He got what he deserved.
Meanwhile Betty is at home crying. Now I’m gonna cry!!!
Something absolutely huge is about to happen now that Betty is going looking for the Black Hood at the abandoned house. Ok putting my phone down for now
“To show you that we are the same” I swear to god don’t pull a fucking twin
But in all seriousness… can we confirm that the Black Hood is Betty’s brother??
“YOU CAN PUT YOUR CAPE AWAY ARCHIE” CHERYL YOU LITERALLY SUMMED UP MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH ARCHIE IN ONE QUOTE, I LOVE YOU
Oh Toni. What did you just do
THAT ENDING OMG OMG OMG OMG BETTY WHAT DID YOU DO
No matter how much I hate someone, I can NEVER EVER wish death upon anyone. I guess Betty had to in order to protect her family and okay in that circumstance I would’ve done the same thing but she’s gonna have to LIVE WITH THAT.. knowing she caused someone to die. That’s so intense.
Sorry to keep mentioning PLL but this is how dark A should’ve been. “I’ll kill your sister, your parents, everyone you care about” said the Black Hood. Man that messed me up. That scared me. Genuinely. That final scene took this show to a whole new level of creepiness and I’m here for it! What an ending, omg.
I give this episode 10/10, I was entertained from start to end, with some amazing highlights.
