Okay I am tired of the Gargoyles thing already. Second Betty what the hell are you wearing? I mean can’t the girl get some decent clothes. I miss her hair from last weeks episode. Now Cheryl is firing arrows at Jughead? I am annoyed enough to be okay with it . I feel it’s time to call for the end of the term “game master”.
Jughead seems insane this episode. A little intolerable. I like the Tom and Sierra ship. I am digging the Kevin and Josie scenes. Another wig . Okay Veronica doesn’t look good blonde. Betty couldn’t pull off the brunette either. Do the writers have stock in a wig shop? Knock it off please. V/A reunited and it feels so good. Sex in prison.. Yep that has been done before. A little unrealistic about the unsupervised time in jail. . Now we are talking about a breakout? A big drain? Jebus. Even if you get out, what are you going to do after Archie? I am going hurt my car driving through these plotholes. Betty’s next outfit has suspenders. Lili did you bang the costumes designers husband? Why can’t the girl get a decent outfit? Do love the fact she took Jugs bike. I am so confused is the game brainwashing people? Archie is going to be killed and Jughead is play dungeons and dragons . This is a lot different than last season. Joaquim! I am mildly happy to see him then he stabs Archie? What is happening? Archie gets stabbed and shot? Jebus. Now teenagers are sneaking into a private fight in a prison? Nice abs on fighter one. Joaquim is running outside of prison and he joined a different gang? Betty in the Serpent Jacket . I like seeing Kevin and Betty together again. Veronica calling Hiram daddykins . Happy to see her knock Hiram down a peg. Archie is free! The motorcycle chase was fun. Everyone has a gun but Betty got the warden to stand down with mace? What? Will this show start making sense? Who will wear a bad wig next? Will the talking tree ever be explained? Stay tuned till next week. __________________

Archie is free, but he shouldn't have been in prison or ''an underground fight club'' to begin with. Regardless it was quite strange that teens knew how & did help him escape. There was things in this episode that I wanted to understand, but didn't.
So from the description of this episode, Archie was in prison for ''weeks'' I think & then his pals either were planning that whole time to help him escape, or had nothing else better to do, such as school, but maybe they are so smart they can get into any college they want to anyway. It's hard to see how they have time to study. This is only episode 5, so did not understand why they had to rush to get Archie out of jail. Most people that get sent to prison wrongly by the way, don't have buddies to do what Archie's did, so it just made this more unrealistic. But, maybe some people that watched now know how to escape an ''underground fight club''. The silliest thing that happened on this show, was Betty threatening the warden with mace, though if saw correctly their were guards with guns aimed at her. But, what made even less sense to me was that same warden shortly after letting her go, committed suicide. Remember he was afraid of mace. In ''real life'' I'd guess that Betty would have been killed before escaping with Archie, but thankfully this is just a T.V. show. __________________

This episode was okay but sort of strange to me.
I thought Betty's outfits were cute. And I really enjoyed the Barchie scene actually and the kevin/betty scenes too. I do like that we got to see a bit more of Kevin and Josie. But wait, did i hear that right, their parents are getting married? Jughead is acting crazy. Is it because of what he drank? Or does the lake they swam in have to do with what is going on? This show is so over the top and way too dramatic. I am not sure I am enjoying this gargoyle storyline anymore. I love Mad Dog, I am glad he didnt die. I hope we see more of him. And wait, the Warden just kills himself because of this stupid game? Huh? This storyline doesnt make much sense to me lol. Archie is out now, but what the hell are they going to do with having to hide him? How the hell is he going to get off free now with him escaping??? and Joaquin kissing Archie, wtf was that? lmao. |

Yeah. I haven't seen a bunch of prison films. I think ''Brubaker'' that Robert Redford was in was 1 & don't remember anyone crooked committing suicide in it. In that film though Redford played the warden who was trying to cleanup a corrupt penal system.

Well the strangeness of this show in general I think is in part because of so many what I'd say are preposterous things that happen on it. This episode was a good example & perhaps so is that game they've been playing lately.

I have no idea where the writers are going with things.

I liked the storyline before as well, maybe the last episode was just a off day for me and I am liking it again next time.
