I would like to address something...
A lot of people on here are bashing the Alice and Betty storyline and The Farm storyline. I don’t get it. NOW I fully support bashing the Gargoyle King story line because they lost track of that in like episode 6😂 and that is a poorly crafted plot issue. They should’ve just done the farm. Not both.
Onto the The Farm.
So I don’t know how old some of you guys are Or how aware you guys are with pop culture, societal, historical events. But The Farm is a well crafted plot and Cheryl and Alice are both written very well for someone who joins a cult. I mean if you research any famous cult, ie jones town, wild wild country, Manson, etc. most members abandoned their families and possessions because these cult leaders have preyed on their weaknesses, taps into them so they can seem like a saving grace, a new messiah. A healer. Redeemer. This season the writers have almost perfectly emulated and paid homage to all the famous cults. So if you are just bashing that plot bc you’re mad that your fave characters aren’t interacting that’s exactly what they want you to do. It is infuriating to watch someone so damaged, broken, and vulnerable get lost in a cult because they are so lost from trauma but that’s also the textbook trope of a cult storyline. That’s what happens in real life cult scenarios. Most times it ends in taking your life. Which is kind of what they’ve been doing with the blue lips. Which they will probably tie in at the end. Maybe with Edgar telling The Farm to drink it as the town figures out what he has done. This would be a homage to Jones town. Highly recommend looking it up bc it’s beginning to lean in that direction.
Betty and Alice
Once again, this is how a familial relationship works when one of the members becomes “awake” it’s heartbreaking it’s supposed to be. The love is still there. All the things Alice has done to Betty and vice versa were done with good intentions. Assuming it was right. What Betty did tonight is what all families have to do with cult members because there is no rational reasoning. I thought this was one of the best episodes ever for Alice and Betty. This was a pivotal episode for them. It shows how far they will go for one another. How deep and true their love and bond is.
I don’t get why you guys are even worried about any relationships... they’re foreshadowing every relationship setting up for the next season. Varchie, chonie, bughead, falice, fangs and Kevin. The show would be over if there was no conflict in the world or the relationships.
Betty blatantly stated Alices whole character obstacle for three seasons. Her past.
Toni blatantly told Cheryl her character obstacle for three seasons. The loss of her identity and Jason.
Betty blatantly told Toni her character obstacle for three seasons. Her darkness (mental health), intrusive thoughts.
Ok that was my soap box. I thought this episode was one of the best of the season. I haven’t felt this way SINCE THE PREMIERE. I JUST DONT SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE FARM IS A BAD STORYLINE???
