I'm thinking Betty's going to snap and start smashing stuff. She did dig her fingernails into her palms when Cheryl was trying to get her angry when she was talking about her sister.

And yeah, Veronica's actress was the best.

On tonights episode...


Oh. My. God *jaw drops*

The show is certainly memorable through both episodes so far.  Even it weren't good, seeing the Archie characters on the TV screen would be difficult for me to skip.  Archie/Ms. Grundy is a huge mistake.  Having Archie's parents divorced is wrong.  Reggie was so badly miscast I had to wait for the dialogue to know it was him.  The actress playing Betty is certainly spot on.  Jughead's hat is wrong.  Moose being gay makes no sense.  Jughead gay makes a lot of sense (there seems to be a hint of it).  Veronica's parents being divorced is very logical and the comics often seem to hint at this-Mrs. Lodge is very rarely seen.  I don't understand why Cheryl would get invited to Betty's house, it seems stupid. 
   I would still prefer a sitcom (or actually a cartoon).  It would work better PG rated.

That used to be true, from the 1940s through the 1980s, but actually Hermione Lodge has been a big presence in Veronica's life since Veronica got her own series back in the late 1980s. She hasn't been seen a lot since it's been cancelled, but Mrs. Lodge has appeared in issues of KEVIN KELLER and BETTY & VERONICA before those series were cancelled, also.

I agree with you. If they ever made a show like that, then I'd watch it.

Some cool edits i found on Instagram

I never felt like the comics were implying they were divorced (at least not in the classic comics. I don't know about the reboot). I just always imagined Ronnie's mom was always traveling but never did it cross my mind that they were divorced. And like DeCarloRules said, she was around during the 1980s in the house with Mr Lodge.

I just watched the second episode and I liked it more than the first episode, too.  I thought it was good, though the show is still finding its footing. I'm hoping it gets a lot better as the season progresses.

IMO, except for having the Lodges divorced, every change the TV show made was for the worse.   That article made some mistakes-Betty and Veronica are certainly friends in the comic book.  It's one of the biggest jokes in the series.  IRL, they would consider their friendship more important than dating Archie and both dump him.  Also, Jughead is certainly a loner even in the comics.

Apparently their friendship is not more important than replacing Pop Tate's with a Lodge-owned coffee franchise, though. Or so Adam Hughes would have us believe. And apparently, TeenVogue did believe.

Well, to be fair, that is another universe's version of the gang.

But yeah, the next story arc should be Veronica trying to win Betty's friendship back because no way should Betty forgive. I mean, I can get helping your dad--but she went out of her way to rub every sneaking thing she did to stop Betty right in her face and was as smug as possible every time they talked.

Damn, this show is really entertaining and suspenseful right now. I really love it! Can't wait for Ep. 3!

That's what I keep trying to tell people, but as far as some people and ACP are concerned, they consider it "the real deal" universe.

BUT... we are talking about RIVERDALE here. And Adam Huges' BETTY & VERONICA is the one they are reprinting along with the other New Riverdale #1 issues in the trade paperback THE ROAD TO RIVERDALE (or RIVERDALE DIGEST #1 if you're too cheap to shell out for the full-sized TP), and those use the TV series logo, so it's fair to say that ACP is trying to establish a link between the New Riverdale comics and the TV series. Just so you know where I was going with that.

Now, when talking about the comics, which do you think TeenVogue is more likely interested in? Probably the ones ACP sent them as research material for their article. No, I can't see the TeenVogue writer sifting through old classic Archie floppies or digests researching the differences between RIVERDALE and the comics. Scanning through a couple dozen issues of New Riverdale comics sounds like more their speed. And it does account for their saying that B&V are not friends in the comics, compared to the TV show. Besides, I'm sure if it weren't for the TV series, no one connected to TeenVogue would be caught dead reading comics, and if they were, it sure wouldn't be Archie classic-style comics... if they could actually find some of those. But I don't see TeenVogue writers as spending a lot of time cruising the magazine racks at Walmart or Barnes & Noble, do you?
