Good start, good follow up!

Season 7 is starting to be the best season just below Season 1. Deeply enjoying watching this series again which makes me wonder why they never started to have storylines like this before or have their story set in the 50s in the first place? Hopefully the quality does not go downhill again. Season 7 is really good. Loved Fangs in this episode, his rendition of a young Elvis like performer was amazing. The only thing I kind of wonder is why Jughead is being outside the core 4 however I kinda feel that the core r doesn't exist anymore. Regardless, Season 7 please continue to be good. Can we just stay in the fifties setting?

Best Episode of Season 7 for me
htrsrz7 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Starting Off When I See Jughead's friend group I was shocked but also loving that those were his friends, then when 1955 Toni flirts with 1955 Cheryl, We finally get to see the infamous Pep Comics and of course it would be in Riverdale.

When Ethel asks Jughead to the Sock-Hop I was like Jethel is gonna happen somehow someway in this season even for just a little bit, and then when Jughead got Ethel a job at Pep Comics I was like Jethelhead vibes.

Finally at the Sock-Hop when Cheryl and Toni started dancing together and Cheryl looking at her, and then when Fangs is performing Only You and Ethel come in all messed up telling Jughead " Something Terrible Has Happened " went along together.

2020s playing dress up...

I can't just lie, to please some really triggered fans. The 50s aspect is completely out on left field. In fantasy shows I grew up watching, actors looked kind of ridiculous, dressing up like they did « back then ». And talking the same way people did too. But you could see writers and producers put thoughts into making the time jump look as convincing and « exotic » as possible. When I watch this finale season of Riverdale, however, I get the feeling they only watched those episodes, and took pointers from them. Without being able to let go of all the « current » stuffs. And it's not doing it for me. So far, these episodes have no credibility or historical pertinence. It's just the same nonsensical writing, only now characters are in the middle of an « in 50s style » setting. Which makes it look even faker, and harder to sit through than usual, for ringing this fake and false, and not even realizing it. Or looking cheap, when it's trying to go for sarcastic. Hopefully it's just another « big » plot, that will be dealt with within the first half of season. But I can also see it go full on ridiculous, with same sex and mixed couples, kissing in the hallways. Or « deconstructed » students throwing pea soup and rambling about global warming...

P. S: that Peggy Sue reference was three years early...
