Riverdale
I loved that finale. Poor Fred, but I am pretty sure he is going to be okay. I loved all the moments we got with Jughead and Betty. These two me have me smiling every week. Veronica and Archie put a smile to my face as well. But, I am a lot more worried about them than I am about Jughead/Betty. I definitely think they will pursue Betty and Archie but not at the expense of Bughead. They reek of Nate and Serena and that they will be pursued only when JB are off. Boy that makeout scene was unexpected considering how chaste they've been thus far. Definitely liked seeing this other side to them. My favorite parts of the show have definitely been watching SKeet and Cole act together. Off the charts. I love their chemistry. FP is such a complex guy, but you can tell he loves his son despite being a lifelong ****up. His mom on the other hand? Like woman wtf is wrong with you? __________________

I hear you about female characters though. That's why I try very hard to pick shows that can write female characters overall like The 100, even Riverdale. Otherwise, I hear you, it can be very annoying! Last edited by jediwands; 05-13-2017 at 11:43 AM |

I agree about being more concerned with Veronica/Archie over Betty/Jughead. I truly think Betty/Jughead are THE romantic pairing of the series and Betty/Archie will be explored when they are having an off period. I got this weird feeling while watching that Veronica came in second to Betty in Archie's mind and I didn't like that. Apparently the pairing to have sex was going to be Betty/Jughead but they changed it up at the last second. I am glad because I wouldn't have wanted the sex, then the Serpents bit. Now we'll have an episode dedicated (or a few scenes) to Betty/Jughead's first time. Skeet and Cole are magic on the screen together. I love when FP said he's more innocent than guilty. Just loved how Skeet delivered that line. I also loved when FP said the Serpents are not murderers or even major drug dealers. I think that was intentional because probably Jughead might explore the Serpents some next season. Do you think so or no? Either way, sure they are a gang but I don't think they're as bad as originally portrayed. Yes, I have way more issues with Jughead's mother. Horrible. She basically abandoned him and he asks to visit and she tells him no. WTF kind of mother is that? |

I think that they made it so stupid because they did not want to make Jay dating Erin while fully knowing that he was married. I guess they thought the fans would really WTF with this. In this specific case I blame more the writers for this absurd writing than Jay for being stupid because well in any other case he has been smart so this is just so inconsistent with his overall behavior. They wanted to create drama, but they really did poor job on that. Now every Linstead fan is totally confused and has no idea what's going on. I am not even sure if even the actors know what are they supposed to show. Quote:
What bothers me that in the goal to portray women as strong and good and capable, they are making them unrealistic and annoying. I am all about anti sexism movements, but I feel like it influences the society in a bad way. It should be about equal rights, but we should also accept that we are different people and yes there are some differences between men and women. It's completely unrealistic to see a woman beat up a man that is clearly stronger than her for example. It's not a good idea to have the female character being praised all the time while neglecting male characters' accomplishments. This is not the idea. The idea is equal rights. If you praise, you have to do it both ways. And again still being realistic about it. It's not a good idea to make a character look good in the expense of other characters. That does not make the character good. It makes just bad writers. I feel like we have so many networks and shows that we get exposed to crappy and sloppy writing. __________________

It seems like the writing has been really inconsistent overall. Quote:
But yes the construction has to feel right. The 100 is really good about this. They have multiple women characters who kick a$$ and it's realistic and not the least bit annoying. PLL has this too. But like you said it can be unrealistic in its portrayal if not done properly. |

I did not have problems for example with Yvonne who played Sara in Chuck. Yes she was a woman, but I bought her as CIA and I totally believed that she could kick some man's butt compared to Chuck. It's all about how it's done. Quote:

On The 100, Octavia, Raven and Clarke are not good friends in the least. In fact, there's even some dislike between them a little bit. All three don't fit the stereotype of talking about typical women stuff. No way. One is a pure intellectual, a mechanical engineer who is mentally stronger than anyone on the show. The very beautiful Lindsey Morgan plays her and she shines. Another one was abused as a little girl in space and ended up becoming a trained warrior on the show. She's an assassin basically but for the right cause. Clarke is a true leader and has made some very tough decisions she is not always very popular for. I think you'd love all three women which might tell you what these women are like. |

So I guess sometimes the writers come up with these ridiculous story lines and I still don't start hating the character because at least the actor/actress act super. While I like Sophia Bush I do not think that she is that superb actress. For me Jesse's acting works better which is why I guess I prefer Jay as a character over Erin. That of course is also very subjective. And I'm not saying that Sophia is awful actress, but when it comes to certain aspects to her character they just don't feel authentic to me because of her acting choices. Quote:
The one that is abused it depends. If they focus too much on the abuse and make sob story every time I would not like it because well you know these stories have impact if you don't repeat them over and over again. For Clarke it would depend for me on the way she is thinking. Meaning can I agree with her choices and see where is coming from (no matter if the others like it or not). It's in small nuances, but I guess it explains why I don't watch that many shows. I am picky. __________________

Kate is a great character because she's flawed. Hugely flawed. She wasn't Miss. Perfect. She was flawed and was never made to look "pretty" and she wasn't catered to. She was real. Quote:

That said, I do think Betty/Jughead are truly in love and there's feelings between Veronica/Archie. I just hate the Betty/Archie tease even if it's not shocking. Cole looked hot putting on the jacket. It makes sense he'd want a family unit with his dad in prison and his mom winning an award for the worst mother ever. Plus, even FP admits the Serpents aren't hardcore, they don't murder or sell serious drugs... weed and that's it. So if Jughead joins he wouldn't be involved in serious stuff. |
