#306 Frostbite Falls: I'm enjoying these simpler designs. And I was forming the waterfall I thought of Rocky and Bullwinkle. This cartoon was so funny to me as a kid. These last few designs have been a challenge of not overcomplicating the design and really push style.

Frostbite Falls

I recently saw an ad for a CW show called “Riverdale.” 

My first thought was, “Ha! That sounds like the high school that Archie and his friends attend in the Archie comics!” 

As the ad played I thought, “Hey that weeping character with a gun pointed to his head even looks a little like Archie... and that other character looks like Veronica... and, wait a minute...” 

Yes. The CW actually made a gritty reboot of Archie Comics. Is this a bad SNL sketch or YouTube parody? Nope. No, it’s the real thing. 

So I figure, why fight it? Why not embrace the trend and push it further? With that in mind, I submit... 

Frostbite Falls (Wednesday’s at 9pm on the CW) 

The pilot episode introduces the audience to Frostbite Falls, a small rural town in northern Minnesota that sits so close to the Canadian border that the locals joke that they don’t know which accent to use. 

But Frostbite Falls has a secret. 

A hundred feet below the snowy streets, lies a hidden bunker that acts as headquarters for Project Andalusia, the government’s first and last line of defense against cyberterrorism. And they’ve just been briefed by the Pentagon that an anonymous tip suggests there’s a new unidentified threat heading their way. 

Meanwhile, at Frostbite Falls High, a couple of new students are shaking up the status quo: 

Like B.B., a freshman who managed to make the varsity basketball team when the previous all-star Jason suddenly has to transfer schools just two weeks into the season. 

And Natasha, a dark-haired femme fatale who upturns the school’s entire social structure, shocking the entire town because everyone knows that the social hierarchy of high schools are completely fixed and unchangeable, and teenagers never make new friends, alter their tastes, or redefine themselves under normal circumstances. 

And yet, she somehow manages to dethrone Kimberly, the one girl that EVERYONE (regardless of age, race, social status, or area of interest) acknowledges as THE single most popular and socially powerful person in school. 

Also, there’s a generic punk-pop music montage showing Natasha putting on makeup and B.B. feeding squirrels in the park (which feels really out of place.) 

Watch as inquisitive teenagers and inept adults, played by white, conventionally attractive actors, grapple with questions like: 

Will the school still be able to win the championship without Jason there to lead the team? 

What deep dark secret is Natasha using to blackmail Kimberly? 

Where did these B.B. and Natasha come from?  

Also watch as those same teenagers and adults fail to grapple with more obvious questions like: 

Where are these kids’ parents? 

Why do all these kids supposedly between 15-17 look like their in their mid to late twenties? 

How is it that not even the teachers seem to know B.B.’s full name? Don’t they have an attendance sheet or anything? 

The plot thickens as Natasha and B.B. meet up in the woods one night, not in popular kid clothes, but in spandex and kevlar clothes, mysteriously at the top-secret entrance of the top-secret bunker that houses top-secret Project Andalusia. 

Not only that, but they’ve ditched their generic American accents for vaguely Eastern-European accents. (Though for some reason, they’re still speaking English.) 

Most mysteriously of all, away from listening ears, Natasha begins calling B.B. by his real name: “Boris” (which is obviously way too Eastern-European to not be suspicious to an audience whose cultural narrative is still defined by the Cold War, despite most of them being born after the Cold War already ended.) 

Hang on to the edge of your seat during several suspenseful minutes of action scenes and lazy writing, resulting in Natasha and Boris inexplicably escaping from overly-complex security system and underly-competent security guards. 

But just when it seems our roguish villains have completely escaped into the woods with their mysterious USB drive payload, the plot thickens like a bowl of instant oatmeal that was microwaved for two minutes too long!! 

Because suddenly, one of those squirrels from the park jumps out of the trees and grabs the USB drive. (Ha! And you thought that earlier montage with the squirrels was pointless! Shows what YOU know about good directing!) 

The pair chase after the squirrel and get separated in the woods. After a long pursuit, Boris corners the squirrel and pulls out his gun. Suddenly, there’s a snap of twigs nearby, and Boris spins around to see a huge moose that must have somehow crossed over the nearby Canadian border because remember this is a town that is REALLY close to Canada, like that one local said at the beginning. 

The moose comes rushing forward, and the scene cuts to black. 

For the final scene, we see Natasha sitting by a hospital bed where Boris lies unconscious, hooked up to mildly annoying-sounding medical monitors. She whispers a monologue to him, until he begins to stir. He looks at her, and opens his bandaged hand. Inside his clenched fist, he holds the crushed USB drive, which all of the doctors and nurses and paramedics somehow missed when treating him. 

He locks eyes with Natasha, and through clenched teeth, says just two words. 

“Moose!! Squirrel!!”
