Where are we talking Riverdale? Is it here?
I think this is the only thread where it fits, although you could argue that the
Gargoyle King
shit from this season makes it juuuuuuust genre enough for Boxed Set. Anyway, I love everything about this show because it is so cheerfully over the top and totally leans into it. Like it's an actual plot point that a grown-ass adult's (who is
a mafia king, no less)
biggest challenge is
framing a 16-year-old for murder.
I mean, my guy, you might need a little therapy for that. I feel like you probably have bigger fish to fry.
And I'm so excited about the next episode (the flashback one), you have no idea.
Oh, yeah, that's gonna be fun!
There's an active shooter at a synagogue in Pittsburgh. I don't understand how we're even a country anymore.

I mean, they'd better figure out how to fit Molly Ringwald in there somehow. It's a takeoff of The Breakfast Club, and she's in Riverdale's cast, so they'd better not let such an obvious opportunity go by.
I'm also wondering how many episodes of 90210 KJ Apa binge-watched to figure out how to portray Luke Perry as a high school character. I hope it was A LOT. I guess Lili Reinhart could have binge-watched Twin Peaks, too.
Very true, Tep.
Argh, that is terrible, Dana. I guess I'd better check the news.
And I'm sorry, meara, that must be frustrating.

Right next to where I lived in 1980. Squirrel Hill. I lived in a neighborhood called Point Breeze just adjacent. We used to go to Squirrel Hill for the good bagels! My thoughts of Pittsburgh are always of the wonderful people. Worried about them.
Damn, people really suck. The dead and injured were there for a bris ceremony. This is so sad.
It'll be okay. The Oval Office is already on top of things -- even tweeting about it.
(Get me out of this AU.)
Howard Fineman on MSNBC kept repeating over and over again what a peaceful lovely area Squirrel Hill is. Apparently he grew up there. So true, this is the last area I would expect to find an act of such violence.
eta: but surely not all Nazis are bad people... weeping for us all
I lived in Squirrel Hill very briefly in my mis-spent early-Internet youth, in '91 and '92.
Somebody find and smash the amulet, please?
