Please don't spoil Tag links like that, it's a huge pain in the ass on mobile.
Not totally flipped, but Veronica is a lot more stable and sort of plays the 'straight man' role a little. It changes somewhat as the season progresses. Wouldn't call Betty bitchy though, just not in a great mental state throughout the season. She's still very supportive of her friends. Cheryl is the head bitch in charge anyway.
Considering who's joining the cast next season, I doubt V is going to stay quite as composed.
FINALLY caught up. Lord have mercy. I didn't see the dad killing Jason, him committing suicide, or Cheryl burning down the house. How the hell did they get out of there anyway?
Also, I love how the gang got into the South Side school with no issues, despite them establishing the place is heavily on the security..
Also, what happened to my Sabrina cameo, leakers? I want my girl =(
Second also, I NNEEEED Molly Ringwald to join on as a regular. She's amazing.
It was the sex scene, wasn't it?

The problem in this scene wasn't the acting tho.
Can't think of a single actor who could've pulled of that dialogue. Lowlight of the show so far.
Also, can't believe they went with the
"ultimate Cliffhanger"
But the real question is ... when will they cast Sabrina and SPECIALLY Salem ?
and by real question I mean been a while tat I don't enter this topic so I really want to know and sorry if this was big news 5 pages ago

Jughead's whole demeanor is the worst part of the show.
Only fan casting has happened. Fronting the list is Dove Cameron I think

Thought Cole/Jughead was a pretty good actor in this show IMO. His monologues anchor the show and give it context, and he pulls them off gracefully. Either way he's an excellent writer. The show is exceptionally well-written. Compelling, engrossing and super entertaining television. Looking forward to S2.
On a related note the girls are also wonderful actresses, especially Betty. Love her emotion when she acts. It makes her seem like a real human being and gives the show some heart.

We love Cole -- he's an exceptional actor and we're very, very lucky to have him as Jughead. No one could play him better.
And for the record, S2 Forsythe Pendleton Jones will absolutely blow your mind.

I had the same idea. He was their Noah.

C'mon Cole, it's pretty arrogant to talk yourself up like that.
Besides, we know any shortcomings with your character aren't your fault. It's those damn writers!

I am ready for season 2.
My most anticipated return of a show that started this year.

I think I enjoyed the first 3 seasons of Vanpire Diaries more, but it's for sure the highest (maintained) production on CW so far in terms of set design, visual interest and overall production values.
I don't know why, but I went ahead and watched the first couple episodes of this show. And LOL, it's definitely...um, a show. But even knowing that CW was going to take some liberties with the source material, I'm still surprised at some of the decisions. I really dislike the actresses that they got for Veronica and Cheryl. Betty is okay, and just like in the comics, cuter than Veronica. Ms. Grundy isn't a senior citizen but some cougar teacher that looks like she just graduated college a semester ago. Moose is partially gay, and Reggie barely had any screen time whatseover, even though he's one of the main characters in the series. Instead of adapting the light-hearted, humorous tone of the comics, it's basically a modern day 90210 with a dose of How to Get Away With Murder mixed in. Interesting.
Not going to lie, part of me is curious where this show is going, but it's still a pretty awful show. I do have to say though, the guy they got playing Archie has a great physique.

Surprising, I hate the actress for Betty but love Ceryl and Veronica. Also I do not find Betty anywhere near the same league as either of the other two beauty wise (though obviously they are all 10+ being on the CW, basically arguing which godess is prettier)

Yeah these shows are on another level personally

Judging by today's new comic, some of the Riverdale sensibilities are starting to seep over to the comic side.
MASSIVE COMIC SPOIILER!

They killed Betty in a car crash!
Okay, they probably didn't actually do it, but they sure want to make you think they did.

The three female leads are very beautiful women, each in their own way. Love Betty the most.
Also place me in the group that genuinely believed GhostWriter24 was Cole. So I guess he's a writer for the show but not actually Cole Sprouse then?
If so you're writing for an amazing show. Kudos man.

Ain't that the truth.
As for GhostWriter24's identity it looks like they're a core writer for the show, hence the immense joy and relief at all our posts praising the show.
Pretty to cool to have a writer for the show on NeoGAF, particularly in this thread.
but there's 4 of them. power rankings after s1
1) Dark Betty
2) Cheryl (cheerleader routine scene sealed her > V for me)
3) Veronica
4) Betty

For me it's:
1. Betty, just for her heart and emotion
2. Veronica, for generally being a beautiful goddess
3. Cheryl, beautiful, but loses points for her personality - though admittedly she's probably a completely different girl in real life
I'm probably going to get called out for blasphemy for putting Betty above Veronica, lol.

I'm five episodes in, and Reggie STILL so far has less than 3 minutes of screen time holy shit
What's wrong with the actress who plays Betty?
