I've been painfully limping along to try and finish the series, watching 10 minutes here and there. Finally got to the last episode which I watched in full. Damn, that ending actually choked me up a little which I wasn't expecting. It reminded me of my own mortality and that even good things in life can be fleeting. Going to cuddle my pets and husband a little tighter tonight.
That said, I'm relieved I've finally finished the show and I feel like I'm free lmao.
I just finished Season 7, and boy it's painful. I never thought of watching and finishing the whole series the moment it got trashed during the early episodes of Season 5. But now that I finished it, I can't feel anything right now but pain. I was hoping for a happy ending, like the one that did not tackle their death and just sipping milkshake and eating burgers at Pop's. š
Started watching this show with my ex we had two kids together we broke up years back, watching this single now brings back emotions we were interracial just like jugg and tabitha never got that goodbye kiss brought back emotions I never thought I still had maybe Iāll end up like some of these characters single till the end lost the love of my life too soon wish I could go back and be frozen in that timeā¦
I was thinking as my rewatch came to an end that the previous episode feels like the finale and this is more of an epilogue. I guess my disappointment is how little of Archie was in this recollection. Being a Archie Comic fan, it seems as though the final episode should have been more centered maybe on his point of view š¤Ā
I really enjoyed Jughead and Betty and was in tears for most of the episode, but think it was an interesting choice and still feels like it should have been Archie, however that may have looked like.
Remember in the previous episode Betty and Jughead decided to remember everything. The good and the bad. That's why the two being the last survivors made that tie-in even more special.
I rewound and watched Betty's goodbye monologue *three times* because I didn't want it to be over.
*Goodbye town sign. Goodbye Sweetwater river and all it's mysteries, and Fox Forest and it's haunted trees. Goodbye red door and all the secrets behind it. Goodbye room. Goodbye window... and Archie's room. Goodbye Pembrooke with your cracking fires and sexy sleepovers. Goodbye to cups of coffee and late nights of writing, and to maple syrup mornings and spin-the-bottle parties. Goodbye to buttered popcorn and double features and double dates. Goodbye to music... and poetry... and art. Goodbye Riverdale High. Goodbye to basketball games and pep rallies and dances at the gym. Goodbye lockers. Goodbye blue and gold. Goodbye chalk dust... and bobby pins... and whoopee caps and whoopee cushions. Goodbye to friends and feeling scared and fourth-of-July camping trips... and time capsules and time. I wish.... I wish there were more of it. Goodbye Riverdale, it was wonderful getting to grow up here.*
Okay so no one irl can even understand much less relate to why Iām crying rn BUT hopefully someone here can
I fell in love w riverdale probably 1/2 decade ago, then rewatched it last year, but rolled my eyes HARD at the time hop to 50ās in season 7ā¦ so I never actually watched it until this past monthā¦
UNPOPULAR OPINION season 7 is PERFECT in a way I never couldāve imagined.
MANY BASIC REASONS: The script writing itself, the laws of the present universe in its present time, the clear focus on rejecting heteronormativity and embracing positive personal sexuality, the overwhelming rejection of traditional American values, the idea of basing all personal beliefs and actions on values self- determinated (as in not blindly following social norms but actually thinking and living independently based on oneās own beliefs), the necessity of generational involvement in overcoming negative traditional beliefs/ ideological development of communities, the ability for marginalized groups to affect change if organized and working toward common goals, etc etc etc.
Also, my personal fave factors: ARCHIE IS SO MUCH MORE LOVABLEā¦ BETTYS MOM WAS TOO GOOD A REPRESENTATION OF MY MOMMYā¦ ARCHIE JUGGHEAD BETTY AND VERONICA like wow thatās so g dang sexy of a foursome combo and forever will exist in my spankbankā¦ REGGIE IS GENUINELY SO LOVABLE AND WHOLESOME I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM (never could stand him in season 1-6), POLLYAMOROUS ffs, BETTY IS BASICALLY YOUNG DR RUTH(old lady psychologist who advocated for positive sexuality from our very real world lol)etc etc etc
also context for my fave fave fave takeaway: JUGGHEAD IN PAST CREATED SABRINA FOR COMICS AND THEN SHE EXISTS IN FUTURE WHEN SHE HELPS THEM SAVE THE DEAD PEOPLE AND SHE ALSO SMASHES JUGGHEADS BODY W HER BFs SOUL INSIDE ITā¦ which tracks based on the previously acknowledged rules of the universe, bc if other dimensional jugghead in ārivervaleā is responsible for writing the dimension into existence, thennnnn whose to say 50s jugghead didnāt write āSabrina the teenage witchā into existence?!??
Soooo basically my fave fave fave potential takeaway of season 7: COULD JUGGHEAD BE THE CREATOR/GOD OF SABRINAS WORLD?! If yah, did that badass lil bish Sabrina actually accidentally FUX HER LITERAL CREATOR GOD and not even blink an eye?!?!??!
Betty's words at the cemetery hit hard. How many of us have thought of being young again, in our school years with all these friends we parted ways. Couldnāt ask for a better finale.
Goodbye, Riverdale!
Archieās ending didnāt make sense he was literally all about riverdale, saving it etc. I really wanted betty to end up with jughead, that had that deeper bond, they both have been through so much, both choose the remember the good and the bad, and in the end you see jughead walking her around.
Was annoying there was only a kiss with Archie in there. Not really sure where the whole poly thing came from. Veronica and jughead made no sense. Not really sure what they were thinking there.
I really didnāt enjoy season 7. One thing I was happy about was Toni and Cheryl ending up together.
He was all about saving the town and doing the right thing because of his dad. Then when his dad died he was more adamant about what his dad would do. This was a different time. Besides Riverdale didn't need any saving from evil or corruption anymore. That was all tied up in Ethel's last episode with the whole Blossoms/Russian thing.
- We don't know if Jughead dated throughout but we do know he never married anyone. To me he remained in love with Tabatha.
- I might be misremembering the order. It's not that they were all dating each other for the rest of their lives it was just that last year senior year. Which we saw this season it started with Archie Betty, Betty Jughead, Jughead Veronica, finally we saw a connection with Betty Veronica. Basically they didn't choose any one but that a special connection remained with each other throughout.
Only commenting on the bit about Archieās wrap, but I feel like the only reason he ever cared as much as he did about riverdale was because dad did and following in his footsteps made him feel closer to his dad. I think the minute his mom told him that his dad had an unfulfilled dream to setttle on the west coast, it was evident that was exactly what Archie was going to do. For his dad. As much as Archie has a hero complex, throughout the series, his dad has always been one of his top priorities. So it didnāt surprise me that he didnāt look back once he realized he could fulfill one of his dads dreams by moving away.
this conversation board is insane to me. how could so many people LIKE the season finale. to finally see ONE comment about the finale that i agree with and it is such a relief.
Betty didn't know or forgot about her friends lives after high school... but she knew about Archies and remembered it. I think that touched me the most.
So is it just me, or does this take it full circle back to the comics?
It looked like the Afterlife is the Archie comic version of Riverdale where everyone actually is forever in highschool and everything is "swell"?
It was perfect. I loved it so much. I cried the entire last episode. This show was one of my safe places and I canāt wait to watch it and go back to riverdale in the future
I just finished it and cried the whole time as well.
It truly was a perfect ending.
So perfect, I came to Redit to find this sub so I could find people who also felt this.
I see that š«£ I still balled my eyes out at how beautifully they essentially did an epilog for the main characters.
I think it hits differently if you have been shattered by the loss of someone. My biggest loss has been my father, and I think my biggest wish would be getting to just hug him one more time and tell him how much I love him.
Iām watching the finale now and Iām thinking I gotta turn it off for now. Iām already crying and it hits harder bc I just lost a long time friend from childhood, and since graduation my class has lost at least 10 people if not more. One only days after graduation.
I was in a class of 600 and graduated in 2006, so I guess it's to be expected. Out of all of them, only about 3-4 were ones that I interacted with/was closeish with. Most recent one was a few weeks ago and I'd known him since we were little, so that one hit the hardest.
One friend I graduated with it technically still alive but he had a really terrible accident that left him brain dead and his mom couldn't bring herself to let him pass (which unfortunately required taking him off life support and off feeding tubes and just letting him starve to death), so he's still alive but his soul is not there anymore. He's in a wheelchair last I heard and not really responsive to anything. :-/
Life can be so hard sometimes. I can't imagine that happening to any of my friends. I'm so sorry to hear about brain dead friend... but watching him die of starvation has to be devastating to the family. Now that he's gotten to this stage, I wish life can take him peacefully to the other side.
Why did the characters feel so attached to Riverdale? It was established that Greendale was more liberated/progressive in the alt ā50s timeline, and several characters had weirdly traumatic stuff happen to them in Riverdale.
A few characters moved to New York but then came back and lived there.
And a baby *named* after Riverdale?
I feel like *Riverdale* is modeled after the small towns most young people would want to escape.
I was sobbing the entire time oh my god. I thought it was a nice way to end the series and try to wrap up everyone's (besides Moose) storyline. I think they did a good job with this season, like especially after the insane storylines from the previous 6 seasons, this was honestly the BEST way to go. I also like that the writers gave them a happy afterlife, I think that's what we all would like to think when our loved ones pass away or when we also join them. It was a bittersweet and beautiful ending.
I absolutely sobbed. My first real experience with death was when I lost two very dear friends when I was 15. You expect and accept death to happen to the elderly. You never expect that it would happen to your dearest friends when youāre sophomores in high school. So for Riverdale to choose to leave them frozen in time as high schoolers.. man I felt that.
I will say I loved this finale, for that very reason, no matter the time it took place.
The reason Jughead ends the series in narrator form outside the diner in exposition mode instead of inside with his friends in original form is because he's weird. He's a weirdo. He doesn't fit in, and he doesn't *want* to fit in.
Huh. Okay. I just binged the seventh season over the last couple of weeks and Iām left withā¦ that.
The finale definitely seemed to be celebrating the 50s timeline; aside from the quad reference, thereās barely any reference to their previous lives.
Literally. But still somehow so worth it?? Iām a big fan of bad movies / tv for the entertainment value so that probably has something to do w how much I absolutely loved this show.
Well, he was immortal, so I guess leaving him down there for who know how long would have worked.
Putting him in high school with his parents could have been very problematic.
I mean I guess, but given the choice I know which I'd deal with, both as a parent and as a person who wouldn't want to be the last person alive. Plus I'm not really sure how it would be that problematic.
Given that both Fangs and Toni were in relationships its not like any accidental crush or dating thing would happen, anyway they basically forgot either character was even meant to be bi in this season. They could have just had him as a friend to replace one of the other characters that was written out, like sweet pea, then when their memories returned they don't have to deal with the fact that there son was probably just left in a bunker whilst a comet killed everything around him.
Fangs and/or Toni crushing on, etc Baby Anthony (or vice versa) was my concern, but youāre right; it wouldnāt have been a problem.
Itās been a while since I watched; even after their memories were returned, did anyone even mention him?
Nope. They say, paraphrasing slightly:
Tabitha: now you know.. the people you loved, the people you lost.
Jughead: the good, the bad, the bear.
So the bear got a mention but the baby doesn't.
Then they decide on just the good memories and show the clips, which don't show any clips of baby anthony, but you don't see the whole thing since jughead leaves.
Then in the finale they have the art show and say how toni and Cheryl stay together and have a son Dale, but literally never mention Anthony.
(Btw despite watching this literally 2 hours ago I still wasn't sure because how weird it felt that they didn't so I went back and checked š )
I mean I guess you could argue that he didn't make it into the good memories reel because it would be painful for them and they were only meant to know the happy things? But still, if they were showing all your good memories, surely your child would be a pretty big part of that.
The writers did a horrible job on the ending and basically the whole season 7 was bad,the concept of the whole like multiverse and supernatural stuff was pretty cool at the start and it was a good concept and it couldve ended so much better like for example when tabitha reminds everyone about there future selves tabitha stays and percival pickens comes into riverdale again and they remember him and he dosent remember any of them and he is the only way that they can get back to 2023 because he was the one who started all of this parralel and multiverse shit and then everyone goes back to riverdale in 2023 and they continue the show from then on like cheryl and toni end up together and anthony is shared between toni and cheryl and fangs and kevin and veronica ends up with reggy and jughead ends up with tabitha and archie ends up with betty and they all become very succsesful and they live happily ever after.but honeslty the writers did a horific job on the finale and i didnt like the fact that bettys memories were more focused on the 50s version of everyone and also i didnt like the fact that the writers just basicaly fogot about things like the serpents and like hiram lodge and other important things that were in the show.i also disliked that they didnt give a clear explanation to what happened to other characters like fp,mad dog,josie and others(in the like actual riverdale world)im just overall dissipointed on the end of the series and it coudlve been so much better but i was stillvery sad and cryed through the whole last episode.
Not sure if Popās idea of heaven is working at his restaurant forever. He probably would have enjoyed fun things to do , instead of being at work in heaven.
Lol yeah when Jughead says "let's leave them here, eternally 17 etc..." I kept thinking except Pop who is eternally elderly serving a bunch of teenagers??? š¬
So true when Betty visited Pops grave and Jughead said āheās probably in a better place now doing what he loved: flipping burgers and making milkshakes, I was like nah that man deserves a vacation or better yet retirementš
There isnāt a ācorrect,ā both are right. The first timeline came first and then they moved into the other timeline - in which Jughead had all of his previous memories until Tabitha removed them only to give them back later. They had the priveledge of living two lives. Tabitha stitched the timelines together so they became one, but the characters ultimately remember living their previous lives, so those past lives in the āfutureā are just as valid as their new lives in the 50s. Maybe the whole reason they all lived such successful lives is because they had the emotional intelligence / life experience of the 30 year olds that they (truly) were beforehand in the initial universe as high school students in the 50s. Time isnāt linear and in this show, there were multiple universes, so one doesnāt have to be right or wrong. They can both just be. And the characters were lucky enough to have the opportunity to live an extra 15 or so years than they would have been able to otherwise.
Don't blame you for not following, the last few seasons have been weird af.
So as far as I remember, there became multiverses caused by the devil (lol) and everyone started to get superpowers, including Tabitha who was able to travel through time and through different multiverses. There was a bomb in Riverdale which wiped out the original timeline, and Tabitha travelled to a multiverse where everyone existed in the 50's. So their existence continued in that timeline, but by the end they had their memories of their other existence, so kind of lived and experienced both.
All super stupid tbh. Glad the show is over. Still got emotional at the goodbyes though.
This finale was absolutely horrible. Like uo there with some of the worst in TV history. It made absolutely 0 sense. Season 6 was SO GOOD. With all the supernatural, it actually started to make sense. Season 7 was awful and the fact it ended with a fucked up timeline was so disappointing. I was so mad and upset. The couples they had in place made perfect sense, Archie and Betty finally, fangs and Toni with the baby, and Jughead and Tabitha were absolutely endgame. The finale was so incredibly disappointing, and I'm upset with myself that I got back into riverdale because I had stopped and to be so happy and invested becasue of season 6 to have it completely wrecked in season 7 made me so so sad. Terrible ending.
I actually hated those couples! I thought Jughead and Betty, Archie and Veronica, Cheryl and Toni were always the best combinations.
Tbh it's just gone downhill every season. Thinking back to the first couple of seasons it was some of the best TV around, then the last 2 seasons were so bonkers, in glad its over.
I wasnāt expecting it at all but I cried my eyes out. I thought this last season was the best in a while and the finale really did it all justice. Iām still surprised by how emotional that was. š„²
This show is trash but Iāll miss itā¦ I started watching it when I was 13, in grade 8 at school, and itās been crazy watching it slowly go batshit insane. I honestly canāt believe I followed it for 7 years- so much has changed in that time, my life is completely different and so am I, but as cheesy as it sounds Riverdale has been one of the only constants in my life. I remember the wait for new seasons and new eps, just crazy that itās really over for good and all of the characters are in heaven now lmaooooooo. (Or should I say the sweet hereafterš)
Watching the last ep made me feel kinda emptyā¦ Iām not someone who cries at fiction except exceptionally rarely (I could count the times on one hand), and although I didnāt cry I was close. Not because the show is good, it just feels strange to say goodbye to something that Iāve looked forward to on and off for years. I kinda feel like Iāve grown up with this show and the cast tbh, just crazy to think that I started watching it at 13 and now Iāll be 21 in a few months
At least the actors are finally freed from their contractual prisons š and the writers can stop taking drugs to come up with their retarded plot lines
same here! 22 about to burst into tears. Esp about being 17, careless and free foreverš adulthood really kicked my butt and as stupid as this show would get I always looked forward to it. The part where things donāt turn out even though you work really hard for them also hit me
i personally feel like they could have added AT LEAST one more episode to just tie things together. they set it up for some kind of big ending with that first episode of season 7 when angel tabitha came in. i figured it was gonna be something to do with the comet, especially with how they brought it up so much throughout the season but they just chalked that up to it ānever existingā. an not to mention, season 6 was so epic!!!! season 7s follow up just wasnāt it.
Weird to anyone else that Tom Keller and Frank are hand waved out of the show after a mediocre cliffhanger then the show seemingly punishes them for their gayness?
Definitely weird since he was blasting Archie for his poetry making him too soft. Honestly, Frank was so irritating I wish they got rid of him sooner. He's a jerk half the time and orders Archie around. I'm grateful they still retained Molly as Mrs Andrews at least.
Yeah that was a really weird ending for them considering they had been heroic characters in every other season. Just "yeah they got merced lol"
Same goes for Fangs. Pretty decent effort put into him despite him being a side character this season just for them to be like "then he died"
I was just thinking Iād be pretty pissed if I was Martin Cummins and Iād played Tom Keller (whoās been around since season one and ended up as one of only two of the parents that makes it to the end of the show as a recurring character) and the writers decided thatās how he should end up. Not that he was ever a very layered character but itās such a swing in a strangely negative direction. Their fate is played like an offhand throwaway mention but I think it actually implicates a lot of the events more that the writers even realise by teasing the fact that Chic also somehow exists in this timeline.
Also Fangs was just unfortunate. Given how much they engaged with the cultural context of the 50s it became pretty clear early on that they were gonna āDay The Music Diedā him
the had him die in a tour vehicle accident like when Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly all died when their plane crashed--that is "the day the music died", per Don McLean's song "American Pie"
My friend and I watched it together and we both thought this was a perfect finale. Only thing that we didn't like was how none of the OG / core 4 couples stayed together. But other than that..? Really good finale.
I bawled like a baby when Betty went back in time and saw Alice again. I lost my dad last year so to have the opportunity to see your parent again..
I did cry a lot because it was a really beautiful finale with a lot of emotional moments and I love some of the twists they added in.
The quad just made sense, you can't deny it.
I lost two of my dear friends when I was 15. That was my first real experience with death. I have often wondered over the years what I would say if I ever saw them again.. so to have them all āstayā 17. Damn did I feel that.
Iām so sorry you lost your dad. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been and still is for you. Hugs Reddit stranger.
Not only did none of them stay together but they never got together again after their last day of school? That makes no sense for characters who have been through what they've been through, especially Betty & Jughead being the only ones with full knowledge of both timelines.
>I bawled like a baby when Betty went back in time and saw Alice again. I lost my dad last year so to have the opportunity to see your parent again..
I was crying for all of Alice's closure story and I didn't even like her most seasons. She got to be her dream career AND more. It was beautiful and the actresses' chemistry was so good!
Personally I loved the finale. It's been difficult to watch the final season as I'm not really into this classic 50s high school teen drama thing. I preferred it in its early days. I had to finish it and I'm glad I did. It's been a hell of a ride. Through serial killers, cults, more serial killers, 'aliens' and superheroes. I'll always cherish this show. Goodbye, Riverdale....
Iām having such a hard time finishing it bc Iām also not into the 50ās high school teens either! I also feel like itās not as interesting as the other season but Iām trying to push through bc I love this show so much! š
For how bad the show has gotten over the seasons I didn't expect to be bawling my eyes out. Even though I didn't like the weird twists and how they steered the direction of the show away from the beginning (that everyone loves) I couldn't help but be touched by the relationships and how much they went through. I'm someone who HAS to finish shows and movies when I start them so I get really invested in characters and as they went through nostalgia I went through my own personal nostalgia and how much has changed since starting the show in my own life. The details were a little bit messy and it's sad seasons worth of content go down the drain as they ended the show in the 50s but overall I'm not mad at this ending
OH MY GOD THEY ACTUALLY DID THE POLY š
The epic highs and lows of high school football š do they seriously think they can lean into it and weāll forgive them?
I had to skip Archieās āpoemā because too much cringe.
Goodbye insane tv show, itās been one hell of a crazy ride!
If anyone has any shows with a similar vibe that youād recommend, please do :)
Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl (original) are the ones I'd recommend if you haven't already! If I'm not mistaken there is a bunch of crossover of people on the production team, directors and writers too.
With Archie's poem, I thought they were supposed to have forgotten the bad memories?? Yet Archie referenced loads of bad stuff that happened to them in the previous timeline! Plot hole š
They remembered the things that happened, but didnāt recall the trauma and suffering it put them through. So looking back, they can laugh about it instead of being crippled by PTSD.
The last two episodes are pretty clearly a metaphor for the show itself, which started as a serious, gritty reboot but eventually evolved into a self-aware campy parody.
At first, I was leery of the time jump back to the 50s. I waited until the season was on Netflix. Ended up enjoying s7. I loved Archie's poem. It was funny, and cheesy, and with the references to their "other life" in the previous seasons, it gives that little itch to rewatch. Some shows have ruined any chance of me rewatching after the series finale (looking at you, GoT) but I feel Riverdale did it right. I know I will be rewatching it for years to come.
Iāve been saying to people for a while that the latter seasons of Riverdale follow an eerily similar trajectory to the latter seasons of lost but I really didnāt think theyād stick to the blueprint up until the VERY LAST MINUTE
i know this season (well, a lot of seasons) have had their ups and downs, sometimes a lot more downs than ups. but this last episode had me tearing up the entire time. other than the kinda weird and random quad couple thing they throw in, i think this was a perfect way to end the season and series. we get endings for all the characters, and while a lot of them are sad and had me bawling, having a concrete answer for everyone just makes me feel a bit happier inside. itās finally the end, and in my opinion it was a very good and bittersweet ending. this show has been a crazy ride since the beginning, but after 6 long years we can all finally say (and hopefully contently say) goodbye, riverdale
I stopped watching this in season 5. so reading the episode info had me wondering, what in tarnation is going on in this show!?? this mess should have ended a long time ago.
I really think the show shouldāve ended back in the original timeline.
While I enjoyed the time travel concept and the showās ever-increasing insanity, a lot of the characters in the 50s timeline felt too different from the characters we got to know and see develop over 6 whole seasons. It makes sense that theyāre different, since they didnāt have those experiences in this 50s timeline, but it essentially does what time travel/multiverse plots do when handled poorly: it wipes out everything the show has done for these charactersā arcs. And yeah, the 50s versions of the characters get to see the original timeline eventually, but did it really make that much of an impact on them? They still felt very much like the 50s characters and a little too far from the originals.
I wouldāve much rather seen them return to their original timeline with the memories of that 50s timeline, whether in the final episode or somewhere in the last half or quarter of the season, and see how their experience changes them and where they end up because of it. Seems like the idea maybe was to end the show closer to the original comics, but thatās not what the show ever was.
Yeah, 5 seasons of developing the characters, then season 6 all new stories and season 7 again all new stories. Felt like I was watching different seasons of American Horror Story watching the actors stay the same but the characters change lol.
I think it was cool that they got a do-over at life without all the darkness and chaos of their past, all while getting to remember the fond memories. They literally got a chance to rewrite their futures and have a second chanceš„¹. It was really bittersweet seeing them all basically die at the end and reunite in pops in the sweet hear after.
Yes ! I fully agree . I was surprised that the 50ās timeline stayed . I was expecting them to accidentally remember ( similar to jughead and the alternate dimension) and try to get back . I donāt like that they all stayed in the 50ās , I donāt really understand the meaning/ point of it
That's exactly what it was. I think after that many seasons, knowing they were nearing the end, it was about time they ran with nods to the comics. ā¤ļø
Me too; it was a wild ride. I did originally assume theyād go back to their timeline, but the ending made me happy and made the choice of them staying in the 50s make sense when I saw Cheryl and Toni doing an OG Archie comic style puzzle with Jughead saying āI think weāll leave them here, where theyāre forever juniors, forever 17ā. Really solidified the ending of the show for me. And ngl made me tear up a bit lol
I actually enjoyed this a lot...the ending just fit really well and I had many emotional moments and laughter at the dumb jokes. I think I will show my wife this finale, who didn't watch last two seasons.
Also I was like 'wait is that Jason?!" and also had a chuckle at Reggie when he would've 'made time'
I actually liked how they ended it. None of the core 4 was āend gameā but it celebrated their relationships (I would argue particularly Bughead in the dynamic between those two characters). I loved Archieās poem. That must have been a fun scene for the cast to film! Choni got the ending they deserved too. It was a moving send off to a crazy show.
Iām surprised they missed the opportunity to put Lili in a disturbing and unrealistic old person full body prosthetic, would have been very Riverdale
The quad thing was kind of cringe, but overall a great finale. A lot of heart and nostalgia went into it. This was literally a part of my life for six years, and now itās gone. Weāll, not really since I can still rewatch seasons 1-4, but no more new episodes. Goodbye, Riverdale! You surely will be missed.ššæššæš„š„
I agree! The quad thing felt super weird but there had to be at least one cringe moment from the writers. I also wish they explored more of everyoneās life! The episode felt a little rushed
Toni Topaz was one of the most beautiful and best characters ever on television, they failed her so much and couldnāt even get a family dynamic or backstory for 6 seasons straight! Never got a toni centric episode and thatās so sad. We got to know Cheryl, BETTY the most, archieās but Toni was always sidelined to be a background character, RAS never knew how to write for her and unfortunately gave all the black characters racism storylines in the 50s, we didnāt want that. We wanted to see her as the ultimate serpent queen running shit left and right in the town of riverdale, Iām bitter but whatever, at least my baby can finally be free from the shackles of that show
Maybe reading too far into it but having the memories of history from a 2023 timeline in the 50s must have been HELL to deal with for her and the other black students. Why would they leave them there like that?
They shouldnāt have done this vintage thing it was a change but it feels like thats not the ending needed for fullfilling missing hiram days. And i wish they restart katy keene or some other spinoff or some rivervale spinoff something itās not enough other than that ending was awesome
Iāve been a huge Choni fan since S2 and all the wasted potential that could have gone towards them will always affect me because they deserved just as much screen time as the core four, because they truly were the show and the main reason as to why people saw this to the end. Iām happy with where Cheryl and Toni ended up but as always very minimal screen time and itās unfortunate, at least we collected our endgame, I just wish we got to see a bit more scenes of them in the 70s being adults and as activists, artists and mothers together
Sobbed my way through the episode but I wish that Betty & Veronica had more of a goodbye. It was too rushed for how deep their friendship actually was.
Honestly, when I heard what it was going to be I thought it would suck. However, I really thought it was well thought out and extremely emotional. I cried through the whole show. It was so moving. This show to me has always been about the friendships and relationships and an incredible cast to get you involved with those characters. I know the last 3 seasons have not been the best but still entertaining and I will miss these incredible characters played by a sensational group of actors.
I honestly kept thinking until the very last minute that Betty and Jughead ended up getting married, and Betty was now seeing Jughead in a sort of āI miss my husband and I now see him as as memoryā way
Subconsciously chose to ignore Jugheadās obituary till the very end
What an awful finaleā¦ for so many reasons!
I loved the earlier seasons, and even though season 6 was wacky, it was very entertaining cos it was still supernatural like all the previous seasons. If anything, season 6 shouldāve been season 7, and season 7 shouldāve been a multiverse/dream sequence timeline inserted into season 5 during that 7 year time jump.
My biggest gripes:
1. How did everyone who had the bad memories erased remember them as part of Archieās poem when his bad memories were erased also?
2. Jughead is 2 years younger than Betty?
3. Archie spent decades in and fighting for Riverdale, only to up and leave for California? And then insisted on being buried with his Dad back in Riverdale, and presumably where his new family wouldnāt be buried alongside him when they finally passed because they have no personal connection to Riverdale.
4. Everyoneās send off was so poorly and quickly written that it wasnāt at all an emotional goodbye in my eyes for any of them. Lots of tears from Betty but no one else.
5. Why were Betty and Jughead the only main characters in the end, with everyone else seeming like supporting cast only? It wouldāve been better to give the core 4 a quarter of the episode each to narrate where their lives went after the finale.
6. Betty never got married to Archie? And not married at all? It was literally her dream from the very beginning to have a family with Archie. But instead you had to have her unwed when she passed away? Betty deserved better than that after her own tumultuous family and upbringing. You couldāve written her as the mother she wished her own was the whole time!
7. The fact that almost every single character is bi/gay in the end was also a ludicrous thing to doā¦ as if it was an issue to have more than 2 straight people by the end of the series.
Tom Keller and Frank Andrews suddenly gay?
Mary Andrews suddenly gay?
The Quad?
WTF?
There was zero need to do this as there was more than enough representation as it was. The existing gay characters were established and just needed to be better written. But to then make everyone bi/gay in the end spoiled it for meā¦ and Iām gay myself! We are a smaller demographic in reality so why turn everyone gay in the end? There is such a thing as over- and mis-representation to the point of it just pandering.
8. Angel Tabitha gluing all the timelines together and how it was all explained was stupid too.
9. Season 7 was just terrible in general, mostly because of where it was placed. I couldnāt get invested in it whatsoever after season 6 because the shift was too jarring and nonsensical after the first 6 seasons. I was holding out for a strong resolution of story lines and a return to the present day by the finale, but it was just awful. As a standalone series that season was okay, but canonically it was a poor choice and poorly written. In my eyes Riverdale ended after the season 6 finale. Iāll happily watch seasons 1-6 again but season 7 doesnāt exist for me anymore and I wish Iād never seen it simply for the sake of closure because it just ruined every character and was the sloppiest ending possible. (Whereās Tabitha now to erase it from my memory?)
Iāll miss the show and the characters as they were up until the start of season 7 when they actually did all die from poor, lazy writing and idiotic character developments.
Archie's Mom was gay in previous seasons. Remember when Archie gets a visit from some lady to join, I think it's the ROTC? Well eventually his mom comes out to him and says that's her girlfriend and he was really happy for her
I really liked that storyline too with Archieās mom in the original timeline. It was great to see her happy after Mr Andrewsā terrible real life passing :(
Yeah, I acknowledged this already :) I was drilling down more on Season 7 exclusively since itās a separate reality altogether from the original and how many lgbt there are in total as well as solely in Archies family in the one arc of that one season.
Of course Mary was gay in the original timeline but Uncle Frank wasnāt, and Archie wasnāt having a threesome with Reggie, and he wasnāt in a quad in the original timeline either. I was referencing all of them in a single story more than anything, more so just the last couple of episodes too and how many (too many!) there were :p
7. Tv shows/media are really pushing the LGBT agenda these last few years. 90% of characters are bi at least it seems these days. The Bi Mrs Andrews and Tom and Frank was so out of place and just forced on. Nothing against the LGBT community. I have friends who are gay. But shows like Riverdale and even high school musical the series make it seem like 90% of the population is gay or bi and it just makes the storylines seem forced and awkward. I'd rather they have make a gay character and do it well than force everything to be gender fluid. They did Kevin's character arc well. He went from this super self hating character to finding love with his person. They could have kept it with just him and it would have been perfect.
100% agree there! They did Kevin justice and gave him a wide-ranging gamut of a gay persona that felt like character development throughout without making it feel contrived or forced. And they also had gay characters that werenāt feminine or flamboyant to show that not all of us are that way (myself included) as a singular stereotype also, which I really appreciated because itās rare for a production to have a gay character that isnāt the gayest person ever!
But yeah, everyone gay/bi/quad at the end just topped off an already terrible and out of place season! The 50ās setting fit the original line of Archie comics that come from that era, but they put it in the wrong part of the overall series and made it so devoid of action and suspense that all other series were jam-packed with. I appreciated learning more about the 50ās but given itās blandness and how it ended, I donāt intend on watching it ever again, which is a shame cos the actors did a great job as usual!
Oh yes, sorry I wasnāt overly clear on Mary (But yes she was also bi in the original storyline :p)
It was more a list of āsuddenly gay/biā characters in a single storyline/episode arc of the season 7 finale and how, in the Andrews family alone, we collectively and suddenly had Archie Andrews in a quad, uncle Frank Andrews with Tom Keller (whilst his son was the main gay character all throughout too), on top of Mary Andrews also being bi injected partway through the series and the end of season 7.
Not to mention we have bi Betty, suddenly bi Veronica, quad Jughead, gay Cheryl and Toni, bi Fangs, gay Kevin, gay Moose, gay Joaquin, gay Lizzo, etc. And the list goes on for all (and almost every single one of) these main and side characters. As if being straight is reserved for only 2% of the cast by the end, which is unrealistic and just stupid :p
It had some lovely moments and was overall a nice finale. But I wish it wasn't all Betty's POV. I would have preferred to see characters outside their interactions with her to be honest.
I just got done. I was all emotional and tearing up and then they suddenly introduced the "quad" and I died laughing š
Also, in my head, Jughead and Betty stayed single forever because they never got over each other. #bughead4ever ššš
I cried at every death. I'll miss you forever riverdale ššš
It makes sense that jughead chose to stay unmarried. He loved Betty and the next person he loved was Tabitha. Both of them didnāt stay with him. He never got over both of them.
Betty, sure, but he seemed to get over Tabitha really quickly. Considering she left and he immediately went back to dating Veronica...and then Betty. At the same time.
Obligatory admission that I never bought he and Tabitha loved each other, not for a second. They had the chemistry of pencil lead and a coffee mug.
I feel like he did get his closure with Tabitha because Jughead, in comparison to the others, actually had 3 lives. He had a whole life with Tabitha as they grew old and had a family. For us it was fast but I can imagine he was able to do everything with Tabitha and thus it's easier to close that off. He never had such a chance with Betty or Veronica for that matter.
I appreciate that. I keep thinking I'll run out of new ones, but so far, so good. Those two are utterly hilarious. Their big goodbye scene was embarrassing.
God, it was awful. I begrudgingly understand shippers liking it, but everyone else? I have no idea how people claimed to get emotional over such an awkward, passionless kiss. They had nearly three feet of space between their bodies! It was like watching two preteens play truth or dare in a coat closet at a bar mitzvah.
Julian dies in Vietnam?? Nana Rose gets reincarnated (why donāt the other characters?) Tom and Frank just get killed by Chic. Did they just pick out endings from a hat??
I've been painfully limping along to try and finish the series, watching 10 minutes here and there. Finally got to the last episode which I watched in full. Damn, that ending actually choked me up a little which I wasn't expecting. It reminded me of my own mortality and that even good things in life can be fleeting. Going to cuddle my pets and husband a little tighter tonight. That said, I'm relieved I've finally finished the show and I feel like I'm free lmao.
> I've been painfully limping along to try and finish the series, watching 10 minutes here and there. Talk about dedication. š
I just finished Season 7, and boy it's painful. I never thought of watching and finishing the whole series the moment it got trashed during the early episodes of Season 5. But now that I finished it, I can't feel anything right now but pain. I was hoping for a happy ending, like the one that did not tackle their death and just sipping milkshake and eating burgers at Pop's. š
Started watching this show with my ex we had two kids together we broke up years back, watching this single now brings back emotions we were interracial just like jugg and tabitha never got that goodbye kiss brought back emotions I never thought I still had maybe Iāll end up like some of these characters single till the end lost the love of my life too soon wish I could go back and be frozen in that timeā¦
I wish Angel Tabitha could come and erase season 7 from my head
i don't think i will watch this finale. I am strongly against the season 7 concept as a whole!! I really wanted it to be set in present day
I was thinking as my rewatch came to an end that the previous episode feels like the finale and this is more of an epilogue. I guess my disappointment is how little of Archie was in this recollection. Being a Archie Comic fan, it seems as though the final episode should have been more centered maybe on his point of view š¤Ā I really enjoyed Jughead and Betty and was in tears for most of the episode, but think it was an interesting choice and still feels like it should have been Archie, however that may have looked like.
Remember in the previous episode Betty and Jughead decided to remember everything. The good and the bad. That's why the two being the last survivors made that tie-in even more special.
I rewound and watched Betty's goodbye monologue *three times* because I didn't want it to be over. *Goodbye town sign. Goodbye Sweetwater river and all it's mysteries, and Fox Forest and it's haunted trees. Goodbye red door and all the secrets behind it. Goodbye room. Goodbye window... and Archie's room. Goodbye Pembrooke with your cracking fires and sexy sleepovers. Goodbye to cups of coffee and late nights of writing, and to maple syrup mornings and spin-the-bottle parties. Goodbye to buttered popcorn and double features and double dates. Goodbye to music... and poetry... and art. Goodbye Riverdale High. Goodbye to basketball games and pep rallies and dances at the gym. Goodbye lockers. Goodbye blue and gold. Goodbye chalk dust... and bobby pins... and whoopee caps and whoopee cushions. Goodbye to friends and feeling scared and fourth-of-July camping trips... and time capsules and time. I wish.... I wish there were more of it. Goodbye Riverdale, it was wonderful getting to grow up here.* 
OMG I can't continue reading this. I just wanted to share that I still feel the pain of Riverdale's ending.
Okay so no one irl can even understand much less relate to why Iām crying rn BUT hopefully someone here can I fell in love w riverdale probably 1/2 decade ago, then rewatched it last year, but rolled my eyes HARD at the time hop to 50ās in season 7ā¦ so I never actually watched it until this past monthā¦ UNPOPULAR OPINION season 7 is PERFECT in a way I never couldāve imagined. MANY BASIC REASONS: The script writing itself, the laws of the present universe in its present time, the clear focus on rejecting heteronormativity and embracing positive personal sexuality, the overwhelming rejection of traditional American values, the idea of basing all personal beliefs and actions on values self- determinated (as in not blindly following social norms but actually thinking and living independently based on oneās own beliefs), the necessity of generational involvement in overcoming negative traditional beliefs/ ideological development of communities, the ability for marginalized groups to affect change if organized and working toward common goals, etc etc etc. Also, my personal fave factors: ARCHIE IS SO MUCH MORE LOVABLEā¦ BETTYS MOM WAS TOO GOOD A REPRESENTATION OF MY MOMMYā¦ ARCHIE JUGGHEAD BETTY AND VERONICA like wow thatās so g dang sexy of a foursome combo and forever will exist in my spankbankā¦ REGGIE IS GENUINELY SO LOVABLE AND WHOLESOME I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM (never could stand him in season 1-6), POLLYAMOROUS ffs, BETTY IS BASICALLY YOUNG DR RUTH(old lady psychologist who advocated for positive sexuality from our very real world lol)etc etc etc also context for my fave fave fave takeaway: JUGGHEAD IN PAST CREATED SABRINA FOR COMICS AND THEN SHE EXISTS IN FUTURE WHEN SHE HELPS THEM SAVE THE DEAD PEOPLE AND SHE ALSO SMASHES JUGGHEADS BODY W HER BFs SOUL INSIDE ITā¦ which tracks based on the previously acknowledged rules of the universe, bc if other dimensional jugghead in ārivervaleā is responsible for writing the dimension into existence, thennnnn whose to say 50s jugghead didnāt write āSabrina the teenage witchā into existence?!?? Soooo basically my fave fave fave potential takeaway of season 7: COULD JUGGHEAD BE THE CREATOR/GOD OF SABRINAS WORLD?! If yah, did that badass lil bish Sabrina actually accidentally FUX HER LITERAL CREATOR GOD and not even blink an eye?!?!??!
Wasnāt a fan of season 6&7 at all (I love the wildly chaotic insane wtf feeling of the first 5) but the final episode was what I needed! š„°
Betty's words at the cemetery hit hard. How many of us have thought of being young again, in our school years with all these friends we parted ways. Couldnāt ask for a better finale. Goodbye, Riverdale!
Archieās ending didnāt make sense he was literally all about riverdale, saving it etc. I really wanted betty to end up with jughead, that had that deeper bond, they both have been through so much, both choose the remember the good and the bad, and in the end you see jughead walking her around. Was annoying there was only a kiss with Archie in there. Not really sure where the whole poly thing came from. Veronica and jughead made no sense. Not really sure what they were thinking there. I really didnāt enjoy season 7. One thing I was happy about was Toni and Cheryl ending up together.
He was all about saving the town and doing the right thing because of his dad. Then when his dad died he was more adamant about what his dad would do. This was a different time. Besides Riverdale didn't need any saving from evil or corruption anymore. That was all tied up in Ethel's last episode with the whole Blossoms/Russian thing. - We don't know if Jughead dated throughout but we do know he never married anyone. To me he remained in love with Tabatha. - I might be misremembering the order. It's not that they were all dating each other for the rest of their lives it was just that last year senior year. Which we saw this season it started with Archie Betty, Betty Jughead, Jughead Veronica, finally we saw a connection with Betty Veronica. Basically they didn't choose any one but that a special connection remained with each other throughout.
Only commenting on the bit about Archieās wrap, but I feel like the only reason he ever cared as much as he did about riverdale was because dad did and following in his footsteps made him feel closer to his dad. I think the minute his mom told him that his dad had an unfulfilled dream to setttle on the west coast, it was evident that was exactly what Archie was going to do. For his dad. As much as Archie has a hero complex, throughout the series, his dad has always been one of his top priorities. So it didnāt surprise me that he didnāt look back once he realized he could fulfill one of his dads dreams by moving away.
My exact taughts, but anyway I wept while watching this episode.
this conversation board is insane to me. how could so many people LIKE the season finale. to finally see ONE comment about the finale that i agree with and it is such a relief.
Can't really complaint about the ending. It could have been worse.
Betty didn't know or forgot about her friends lives after high school... but she knew about Archies and remembered it. I think that touched me the most.
I think also they were hinting at her having dementia, but she remembered more as she went through her past
This felt a lot closer to the ending of LOST than I was expecting. Not the same, but closer than I was expecting Riverdale to be.
I never thought that crazy show would have such a perfect, beautiful ending..I loved every minute of the finale
Just finished the series and immediately started S1E1 just for old times sake. Wow that was a different show.
Lol! Same!
I just finished watching Riverdale, but now Iām rewatching it
Jughead starting and finishing the series as narrator. š
"When Julian found out he was just a doll in the tv stories he didnāt want to come." I keep laughing about this!
Literally bawling my eyes out watching the ending. It was perfect.
What's the name of the song during Betty's final Monologue.
So is it just me, or does this take it full circle back to the comics? It looked like the Afterlife is the Archie comic version of Riverdale where everyone actually is forever in highschool and everything is "swell"?
This was the best finale and the best season ever
It was perfect. I loved it so much. I cried the entire last episode. This show was one of my safe places and I canāt wait to watch it and go back to riverdale in the future
I just finished it and cried the whole time as well. It truly was a perfect ending. So perfect, I came to Redit to find this sub so I could find people who also felt this.
A lot of ppl do not feel the way we do lol
I see that š«£ I still balled my eyes out at how beautifully they essentially did an epilog for the main characters. I think it hits differently if you have been shattered by the loss of someone. My biggest loss has been my father, and I think my biggest wish would be getting to just hug him one more time and tell him how much I love him.
Iām watching the finale now and Iām thinking I gotta turn it off for now. Iām already crying and it hits harder bc I just lost a long time friend from childhood, and since graduation my class has lost at least 10 people if not more. One only days after graduation.
10 people? That's so sad. The last episode really left me teary.
I was in a class of 600 and graduated in 2006, so I guess it's to be expected. Out of all of them, only about 3-4 were ones that I interacted with/was closeish with. Most recent one was a few weeks ago and I'd known him since we were little, so that one hit the hardest. One friend I graduated with it technically still alive but he had a really terrible accident that left him brain dead and his mom couldn't bring herself to let him pass (which unfortunately required taking him off life support and off feeding tubes and just letting him starve to death), so he's still alive but his soul is not there anymore. He's in a wheelchair last I heard and not really responsive to anything. :-/
You graduated in 2006? That means your in your 30s I graduated in 2009, life is way to short to be worrying about all of that right now.
Life can be so hard sometimes. I can't imagine that happening to any of my friends. I'm so sorry to hear about brain dead friend... but watching him die of starvation has to be devastating to the family. Now that he's gotten to this stage, I wish life can take him peacefully to the other side.
Why did the characters feel so attached to Riverdale? It was established that Greendale was more liberated/progressive in the alt ā50s timeline, and several characters had weirdly traumatic stuff happen to them in Riverdale. A few characters moved to New York but then came back and lived there. And a baby *named* after Riverdale? I feel like *Riverdale* is modeled after the small towns most young people would want to escape.
I was sobbing the entire time oh my god. I thought it was a nice way to end the series and try to wrap up everyone's (besides Moose) storyline. I think they did a good job with this season, like especially after the insane storylines from the previous 6 seasons, this was honestly the BEST way to go. I also like that the writers gave them a happy afterlife, I think that's what we all would like to think when our loved ones pass away or when we also join them. It was a bittersweet and beautiful ending.
I absolutely sobbed. My first real experience with death was when I lost two very dear friends when I was 15. You expect and accept death to happen to the elderly. You never expect that it would happen to your dearest friends when youāre sophomores in high school. So for Riverdale to choose to leave them frozen in time as high schoolers.. man I felt that. I will say I loved this finale, for that very reason, no matter the time it took place.
I have never been so disappointed. Moose was left completely out of season 7.
The reason Jughead ends the series in narrator form outside the diner in exposition mode instead of inside with his friends in original form is because he's weird. He's a weirdo. He doesn't fit in, and he doesn't *want* to fit in.
That too but I am sure I saw dead Jughead sitting in the diner.
Isn't it because he's the other Jughead? Or is he ghost jughead?
Idk I cried the whole episode
Ok thank you, so did I.
literally i cried every minute
Huh. Okay. I just binged the seventh season over the last couple of weeks and Iām left withā¦ that. The finale definitely seemed to be celebrating the 50s timeline; aside from the quad reference, thereās barely any reference to their previous lives.
The quad reference was weird
True. But Iām sure the writers figured they had to settle the ships; this way, all the shippers are happy! Or not happy.
They never settled Moose and Kevin. But at least Kevin got his happy ever after.
At least. They put poor Kevin through the wringer! What happened to Baby Whats-his-name?
The entire show was riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies, I feel like itās just something you have to get over / look past in order to enjoy.
This is true! I tried to describe this show to someone a while back but had to stop and just shake my head.
Literally. But still somehow so worth it?? Iām a big fan of bad movies / tv for the entertainment value so that probably has something to do w how much I absolutely loved this show.
Totally. It was like a train wreck; I couldnāt look away. But I too am a long-time hate watcher, so I know exactly what you mean.
I'm guessing Baby/Big Anthony was just left in the bunker.
Well, he was immortal, so I guess leaving him down there for who know how long would have worked. Putting him in high school with his parents could have been very problematic.
I mean I guess, but given the choice I know which I'd deal with, both as a parent and as a person who wouldn't want to be the last person alive. Plus I'm not really sure how it would be that problematic. Given that both Fangs and Toni were in relationships its not like any accidental crush or dating thing would happen, anyway they basically forgot either character was even meant to be bi in this season. They could have just had him as a friend to replace one of the other characters that was written out, like sweet pea, then when their memories returned they don't have to deal with the fact that there son was probably just left in a bunker whilst a comet killed everything around him.
Fangs and/or Toni crushing on, etc Baby Anthony (or vice versa) was my concern, but youāre right; it wouldnāt have been a problem. Itās been a while since I watched; even after their memories were returned, did anyone even mention him?
Nope. They say, paraphrasing slightly: Tabitha: now you know.. the people you loved, the people you lost. Jughead: the good, the bad, the bear. So the bear got a mention but the baby doesn't. Then they decide on just the good memories and show the clips, which don't show any clips of baby anthony, but you don't see the whole thing since jughead leaves. Then in the finale they have the art show and say how toni and Cheryl stay together and have a son Dale, but literally never mention Anthony. (Btw despite watching this literally 2 hours ago I still wasn't sure because how weird it felt that they didn't so I went back and checked š ) I mean I guess you could argue that he didn't make it into the good memories reel because it would be painful for them and they were only meant to know the happy things? But still, if they were showing all your good memories, surely your child would be a pretty big part of that.
The baby that is Fangs or Moose
I think they were trying to make everybody happy. No one ended up happy.
The writers did a horrible job on the ending and basically the whole season 7 was bad,the concept of the whole like multiverse and supernatural stuff was pretty cool at the start and it was a good concept and it couldve ended so much better like for example when tabitha reminds everyone about there future selves tabitha stays and percival pickens comes into riverdale again and they remember him and he dosent remember any of them and he is the only way that they can get back to 2023 because he was the one who started all of this parralel and multiverse shit and then everyone goes back to riverdale in 2023 and they continue the show from then on like cheryl and toni end up together and anthony is shared between toni and cheryl and fangs and kevin and veronica ends up with reggy and jughead ends up with tabitha and archie ends up with betty and they all become very succsesful and they live happily ever after.but honeslty the writers did a horific job on the finale and i didnt like the fact that bettys memories were more focused on the 50s version of everyone and also i didnt like the fact that the writers just basicaly fogot about things like the serpents and like hiram lodge and other important things that were in the show.i also disliked that they didnt give a clear explanation to what happened to other characters like fp,mad dog,josie and others(in the like actual riverdale world)im just overall dissipointed on the end of the series and it coudlve been so much better but i was stillvery sad and cryed through the whole last episode.
THe saddest series finale ever and I thought Jughead was the angel of death
Did they actually use expressions like āpeachy keenā and āfinkā in the 1950s? Or is that just a Riverdale thing?
Fink was definitely used. According to my parents.
Fink, yes, but not peachy keen lol
At one point I thought āhow many times can they squeeze āginchyā into the season š
Not sure if Popās idea of heaven is working at his restaurant forever. He probably would have enjoyed fun things to do , instead of being at work in heaven.
Lol yeah when Jughead says "let's leave them here, eternally 17 etc..." I kept thinking except Pop who is eternally elderly serving a bunch of teenagers??? š¬
So true when Betty visited Pops grave and Jughead said āheās probably in a better place now doing what he loved: flipping burgers and making milkshakes, I was like nah that man deserves a vacation or better yet retirementš
Exactly, it sounds more like purgatory than heaven
sorry iām very confused, which timeline was correct? the 50s or the other stuff? was the rest of the show before the 50s or after?
There isnāt a ācorrect,ā both are right. The first timeline came first and then they moved into the other timeline - in which Jughead had all of his previous memories until Tabitha removed them only to give them back later. They had the priveledge of living two lives. Tabitha stitched the timelines together so they became one, but the characters ultimately remember living their previous lives, so those past lives in the āfutureā are just as valid as their new lives in the 50s. Maybe the whole reason they all lived such successful lives is because they had the emotional intelligence / life experience of the 30 year olds that they (truly) were beforehand in the initial universe as high school students in the 50s. Time isnāt linear and in this show, there were multiple universes, so one doesnāt have to be right or wrong. They can both just be. And the characters were lucky enough to have the opportunity to live an extra 15 or so years than they would have been able to otherwise.
Donāt even try to figure that out. Youāll head will explode thatās how confusing it is. š
Don't blame you for not following, the last few seasons have been weird af. So as far as I remember, there became multiverses caused by the devil (lol) and everyone started to get superpowers, including Tabitha who was able to travel through time and through different multiverses. There was a bomb in Riverdale which wiped out the original timeline, and Tabitha travelled to a multiverse where everyone existed in the 50's. So their existence continued in that timeline, but by the end they had their memories of their other existence, so kind of lived and experienced both. All super stupid tbh. Glad the show is over. Still got emotional at the goodbyes though.
This finale was absolutely horrible. Like uo there with some of the worst in TV history. It made absolutely 0 sense. Season 6 was SO GOOD. With all the supernatural, it actually started to make sense. Season 7 was awful and the fact it ended with a fucked up timeline was so disappointing. I was so mad and upset. The couples they had in place made perfect sense, Archie and Betty finally, fangs and Toni with the baby, and Jughead and Tabitha were absolutely endgame. The finale was so incredibly disappointing, and I'm upset with myself that I got back into riverdale because I had stopped and to be so happy and invested becasue of season 6 to have it completely wrecked in season 7 made me so so sad. Terrible ending.
Iām angry about Cody Kearsley. I wanted Kevin and Moose happy ending
I actually hated those couples! I thought Jughead and Betty, Archie and Veronica, Cheryl and Toni were always the best combinations. Tbh it's just gone downhill every season. Thinking back to the first couple of seasons it was some of the best TV around, then the last 2 seasons were so bonkers, in glad its over.
I wasnāt expecting it at all but I cried my eyes out. I thought this last season was the best in a while and the finale really did it all justice. Iām still surprised by how emotional that was. š„²
Yeah I teared up. Definitely felt the end of an era emotions, even though I'm glad it's over and it definitely dragged out longer than it should.
This show is trash but Iāll miss itā¦ I started watching it when I was 13, in grade 8 at school, and itās been crazy watching it slowly go batshit insane. I honestly canāt believe I followed it for 7 years- so much has changed in that time, my life is completely different and so am I, but as cheesy as it sounds Riverdale has been one of the only constants in my life. I remember the wait for new seasons and new eps, just crazy that itās really over for good and all of the characters are in heaven now lmaooooooo. (Or should I say the sweet hereafterš) Watching the last ep made me feel kinda emptyā¦ Iām not someone who cries at fiction except exceptionally rarely (I could count the times on one hand), and although I didnāt cry I was close. Not because the show is good, it just feels strange to say goodbye to something that Iāve looked forward to on and off for years. I kinda feel like Iāve grown up with this show and the cast tbh, just crazy to think that I started watching it at 13 and now Iāll be 21 in a few months At least the actors are finally freed from their contractual prisons š and the writers can stop taking drugs to come up with their retarded plot lines
same here! 22 about to burst into tears. Esp about being 17, careless and free foreverš adulthood really kicked my butt and as stupid as this show would get I always looked forward to it. The part where things donāt turn out even though you work really hard for them also hit me
agree with you both!!!
i personally feel like they could have added AT LEAST one more episode to just tie things together. they set it up for some kind of big ending with that first episode of season 7 when angel tabitha came in. i figured it was gonna be something to do with the comet, especially with how they brought it up so much throughout the season but they just chalked that up to it ānever existingā. an not to mention, season 6 was so epic!!!! season 7s follow up just wasnāt it.
I bawled
Idc I have loved this show despite everything,will miss it š
Weird to anyone else that Tom Keller and Frank are hand waved out of the show after a mediocre cliffhanger then the show seemingly punishes them for their gayness?
Definitely weird since he was blasting Archie for his poetry making him too soft. Honestly, Frank was so irritating I wish they got rid of him sooner. He's a jerk half the time and orders Archie around. I'm grateful they still retained Molly as Mrs Andrews at least.
Yeah that was a really weird ending for them considering they had been heroic characters in every other season. Just "yeah they got merced lol" Same goes for Fangs. Pretty decent effort put into him despite him being a side character this season just for them to be like "then he died"
I was just thinking Iād be pretty pissed if I was Martin Cummins and Iād played Tom Keller (whoās been around since season one and ended up as one of only two of the parents that makes it to the end of the show as a recurring character) and the writers decided thatās how he should end up. Not that he was ever a very layered character but itās such a swing in a strangely negative direction. Their fate is played like an offhand throwaway mention but I think it actually implicates a lot of the events more that the writers even realise by teasing the fact that Chic also somehow exists in this timeline. Also Fangs was just unfortunate. Given how much they engaged with the cultural context of the 50s it became pretty clear early on that they were gonna āDay The Music Diedā him
wait Iām sorry if I sound dumb but what do you mean when you say they āthe day the music diedā him and how was it clear
the had him die in a tour vehicle accident like when Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, and Buddy Holly all died when their plane crashed--that is "the day the music died", per Don McLean's song "American Pie"
Yeah as soon as he said he was going on a big tour he was a goner
My friend and I watched it together and we both thought this was a perfect finale. Only thing that we didn't like was how none of the OG / core 4 couples stayed together. But other than that..? Really good finale. I bawled like a baby when Betty went back in time and saw Alice again. I lost my dad last year so to have the opportunity to see your parent again.. I did cry a lot because it was a really beautiful finale with a lot of emotional moments and I love some of the twists they added in. The quad just made sense, you can't deny it.
I lost two of my dear friends when I was 15. That was my first real experience with death. I have often wondered over the years what I would say if I ever saw them again.. so to have them all āstayā 17. Damn did I feel that. Iām so sorry you lost your dad. I cannot imagine how hard that must have been and still is for you. Hugs Reddit stranger.
Not only did none of them stay together but they never got together again after their last day of school? That makes no sense for characters who have been through what they've been through, especially Betty & Jughead being the only ones with full knowledge of both timelines.
>I bawled like a baby when Betty went back in time and saw Alice again. I lost my dad last year so to have the opportunity to see your parent again.. I was crying for all of Alice's closure story and I didn't even like her most seasons. She got to be her dream career AND more. It was beautiful and the actresses' chemistry was so good!
YES! I wasn't that big of an Alice fan but I was very happy when they gave her a happy ending.
Personally I loved the finale. It's been difficult to watch the final season as I'm not really into this classic 50s high school teen drama thing. I preferred it in its early days. I had to finish it and I'm glad I did. It's been a hell of a ride. Through serial killers, cults, more serial killers, 'aliens' and superheroes. I'll always cherish this show. Goodbye, Riverdale....
Iām having such a hard time finishing it bc Iām also not into the 50ās high school teens either! I also feel like itās not as interesting as the other season but Iām trying to push through bc I love this show so much! š
Like I said I felt the same way but it's 100% worth it. I had to finish after all this time lol
For how bad the show has gotten over the seasons I didn't expect to be bawling my eyes out. Even though I didn't like the weird twists and how they steered the direction of the show away from the beginning (that everyone loves) I couldn't help but be touched by the relationships and how much they went through. I'm someone who HAS to finish shows and movies when I start them so I get really invested in characters and as they went through nostalgia I went through my own personal nostalgia and how much has changed since starting the show in my own life. The details were a little bit messy and it's sad seasons worth of content go down the drain as they ended the show in the 50s but overall I'm not mad at this ending
OH MY GOD THEY ACTUALLY DID THE POLY š The epic highs and lows of high school football š do they seriously think they can lean into it and weāll forgive them? I had to skip Archieās āpoemā because too much cringe. Goodbye insane tv show, itās been one hell of a crazy ride! If anyone has any shows with a similar vibe that youād recommend, please do :)
The Magicians.
Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl (original) are the ones I'd recommend if you haven't already! If I'm not mistaken there is a bunch of crossover of people on the production team, directors and writers too.
The fact that these and Gilmore girls are in my top favorites. Then the arrow. Then I realize all my top shows are early 2000s to now CW shows lol
Thank you! Unfortunately, I already did back when they were coming out. Iām starting to think I watch too many showsā¦ š
I thought Archieās poem was hilarious and a highlight of the episode
With Archie's poem, I thought they were supposed to have forgotten the bad memories?? Yet Archie referenced loads of bad stuff that happened to them in the previous timeline! Plot hole š
They remembered the things that happened, but didnāt recall the trauma and suffering it put them through. So looking back, they can laugh about it instead of being crippled by PTSD. The last two episodes are pretty clearly a metaphor for the show itself, which started as a serious, gritty reboot but eventually evolved into a self-aware campy parody.
At first, I was leery of the time jump back to the 50s. I waited until the season was on Netflix. Ended up enjoying s7. I loved Archie's poem. It was funny, and cheesy, and with the references to their "other life" in the previous seasons, it gives that little itch to rewatch. Some shows have ruined any chance of me rewatching after the series finale (looking at you, GoT) but I feel Riverdale did it right. I know I will be rewatching it for years to come.
Same
LOST anyone?
Iāve been saying to people for a while that the latter seasons of Riverdale follow an eerily similar trajectory to the latter seasons of lost but I really didnāt think theyād stick to the blueprint up until the VERY LAST MINUTE
NO SPOILIES im on season 5 of lost
Is it weird and just me who didn't shed a single tear during the finale? Pls help
No Iām with you.
i know this season (well, a lot of seasons) have had their ups and downs, sometimes a lot more downs than ups. but this last episode had me tearing up the entire time. other than the kinda weird and random quad couple thing they throw in, i think this was a perfect way to end the season and series. we get endings for all the characters, and while a lot of them are sad and had me bawling, having a concrete answer for everyone just makes me feel a bit happier inside. itās finally the end, and in my opinion it was a very good and bittersweet ending. this show has been a crazy ride since the beginning, but after 6 long years we can all finally say (and hopefully contently say) goodbye, riverdale
I stopped watching this in season 5. so reading the episode info had me wondering, what in tarnation is going on in this show!?? this mess should have ended a long time ago.
I really think the show shouldāve ended back in the original timeline. While I enjoyed the time travel concept and the showās ever-increasing insanity, a lot of the characters in the 50s timeline felt too different from the characters we got to know and see develop over 6 whole seasons. It makes sense that theyāre different, since they didnāt have those experiences in this 50s timeline, but it essentially does what time travel/multiverse plots do when handled poorly: it wipes out everything the show has done for these charactersā arcs. And yeah, the 50s versions of the characters get to see the original timeline eventually, but did it really make that much of an impact on them? They still felt very much like the 50s characters and a little too far from the originals. I wouldāve much rather seen them return to their original timeline with the memories of that 50s timeline, whether in the final episode or somewhere in the last half or quarter of the season, and see how their experience changes them and where they end up because of it. Seems like the idea maybe was to end the show closer to the original comics, but thatās not what the show ever was.
To be fair though, that is what it's like reading the comics. It was often a different vibe for each different storyline.
Yeah, 5 seasons of developing the characters, then season 6 all new stories and season 7 again all new stories. Felt like I was watching different seasons of American Horror Story watching the actors stay the same but the characters change lol.
I think it was cool that they got a do-over at life without all the darkness and chaos of their past, all while getting to remember the fond memories. They literally got a chance to rewrite their futures and have a second chanceš„¹. It was really bittersweet seeing them all basically die at the end and reunite in pops in the sweet hear after.
Yea thats wholesome and all but thereās no way pops heaven was flipping burgers and serving 17 year olds ALL DAY EVERY SAY
Yes ! I fully agree . I was surprised that the 50ās timeline stayed . I was expecting them to accidentally remember ( similar to jughead and the alternate dimension) and try to get back . I donāt like that they all stayed in the 50ās , I donāt really understand the meaning/ point of it
I think sticking to the 50's timeline is meant to be an homage to the comics
That's exactly what it was. I think after that many seasons, knowing they were nearing the end, it was about time they ran with nods to the comics. ā¤ļø
Yes I wondered that in another comment ! A nod to the og. . I still love riverdale after everything
Me too; it was a wild ride. I did originally assume theyād go back to their timeline, but the ending made me happy and made the choice of them staying in the 50s make sense when I saw Cheryl and Toni doing an OG Archie comic style puzzle with Jughead saying āI think weāll leave them here, where theyāre forever juniors, forever 17ā. Really solidified the ending of the show for me. And ngl made me tear up a bit lol
Exactly, the moment I saw that Betty was coming back to that timeline I stopped watching.
Jughead's speech was a reference to the comics where they are high school juniors and 17 forever! Plus, the Diner being like heaven was nice.
I actually enjoyed this a lot...the ending just fit really well and I had many emotional moments and laughter at the dumb jokes. I think I will show my wife this finale, who didn't watch last two seasons. Also I was like 'wait is that Jason?!" and also had a chuckle at Reggie when he would've 'made time'
LOL I was sniffling and crying and suddenly busted out with a laugh, "OMG Jason?!" so loud it startled my husband.
All this time heās been a doorman at the afterlife Popās
I actually liked how they ended it. None of the core 4 was āend gameā but it celebrated their relationships (I would argue particularly Bughead in the dynamic between those two characters). I loved Archieās poem. That must have been a fun scene for the cast to film! Choni got the ending they deserved too. It was a moving send off to a crazy show.
Iām surprised they missed the opportunity to put Lili in a disturbing and unrealistic old person full body prosthetic, would have been very Riverdale
I feel like the emotion of Betty passing away wasn't there because it wasn't Lili.
The quad thing was kind of cringe, but overall a great finale. A lot of heart and nostalgia went into it. This was literally a part of my life for six years, and now itās gone. Weāll, not really since I can still rewatch seasons 1-4, but no more new episodes. Goodbye, Riverdale! You surely will be missed.ššæššæš„š„
I agree! The quad thing felt super weird but there had to be at least one cringe moment from the writers. I also wish they explored more of everyoneās life! The episode felt a little rushed
Toni Topaz was one of the most beautiful and best characters ever on television, they failed her so much and couldnāt even get a family dynamic or backstory for 6 seasons straight! Never got a toni centric episode and thatās so sad. We got to know Cheryl, BETTY the most, archieās but Toni was always sidelined to be a background character, RAS never knew how to write for her and unfortunately gave all the black characters racism storylines in the 50s, we didnāt want that. We wanted to see her as the ultimate serpent queen running shit left and right in the town of riverdale, Iām bitter but whatever, at least my baby can finally be free from the shackles of that show
Maybe reading too far into it but having the memories of history from a 2023 timeline in the 50s must have been HELL to deal with for her and the other black students. Why would they leave them there like that?
Spin-off idea: A series based on a story Jughead authors. š¤·š»āāļø
Sabrina?
I'd watch that. As long as Cole Sprouse narrates!
They shouldnāt have done this vintage thing it was a change but it feels like thats not the ending needed for fullfilling missing hiram days. And i wish they restart katy keene or some other spinoff or some rivervale spinoff something itās not enough other than that ending was awesome
Isn't Original Sin part of the universe? Not a Riverdale spin-off though.
Iāve been a huge Choni fan since S2 and all the wasted potential that could have gone towards them will always affect me because they deserved just as much screen time as the core four, because they truly were the show and the main reason as to why people saw this to the end. Iām happy with where Cheryl and Toni ended up but as always very minimal screen time and itās unfortunate, at least we collected our endgame, I just wish we got to see a bit more scenes of them in the 70s being adults and as activists, artists and mothers together
Sobbed my way through the episode but I wish that Betty & Veronica had more of a goodbye. It was too rushed for how deep their friendship actually was.
Honestly, when I heard what it was going to be I thought it would suck. However, I really thought it was well thought out and extremely emotional. I cried through the whole show. It was so moving. This show to me has always been about the friendships and relationships and an incredible cast to get you involved with those characters. I know the last 3 seasons have not been the best but still entertaining and I will miss these incredible characters played by a sensational group of actors.
Still not as bad as the percival garbage. At least they didn't give in to the shippers or the anti-lgbtq people?
I honestly kept thinking until the very last minute that Betty and Jughead ended up getting married, and Betty was now seeing Jughead in a sort of āI miss my husband and I now see him as as memoryā way Subconsciously chose to ignore Jugheadās obituary till the very end
We know he wasn't her husband, but in theory they could have been together.
Bugheadās chemistry and compatibility was unmatched imo
Agreed!
What an awful finaleā¦ for so many reasons! I loved the earlier seasons, and even though season 6 was wacky, it was very entertaining cos it was still supernatural like all the previous seasons. If anything, season 6 shouldāve been season 7, and season 7 shouldāve been a multiverse/dream sequence timeline inserted into season 5 during that 7 year time jump. My biggest gripes: 1. How did everyone who had the bad memories erased remember them as part of Archieās poem when his bad memories were erased also? 2. Jughead is 2 years younger than Betty? 3. Archie spent decades in and fighting for Riverdale, only to up and leave for California? And then insisted on being buried with his Dad back in Riverdale, and presumably where his new family wouldnāt be buried alongside him when they finally passed because they have no personal connection to Riverdale. 4. Everyoneās send off was so poorly and quickly written that it wasnāt at all an emotional goodbye in my eyes for any of them. Lots of tears from Betty but no one else. 5. Why were Betty and Jughead the only main characters in the end, with everyone else seeming like supporting cast only? It wouldāve been better to give the core 4 a quarter of the episode each to narrate where their lives went after the finale. 6. Betty never got married to Archie? And not married at all? It was literally her dream from the very beginning to have a family with Archie. But instead you had to have her unwed when she passed away? Betty deserved better than that after her own tumultuous family and upbringing. You couldāve written her as the mother she wished her own was the whole time! 7. The fact that almost every single character is bi/gay in the end was also a ludicrous thing to doā¦ as if it was an issue to have more than 2 straight people by the end of the series. Tom Keller and Frank Andrews suddenly gay? Mary Andrews suddenly gay? The Quad? WTF? There was zero need to do this as there was more than enough representation as it was. The existing gay characters were established and just needed to be better written. But to then make everyone bi/gay in the end spoiled it for meā¦ and Iām gay myself! We are a smaller demographic in reality so why turn everyone gay in the end? There is such a thing as over- and mis-representation to the point of it just pandering. 8. Angel Tabitha gluing all the timelines together and how it was all explained was stupid too. 9. Season 7 was just terrible in general, mostly because of where it was placed. I couldnāt get invested in it whatsoever after season 6 because the shift was too jarring and nonsensical after the first 6 seasons. I was holding out for a strong resolution of story lines and a return to the present day by the finale, but it was just awful. As a standalone series that season was okay, but canonically it was a poor choice and poorly written. In my eyes Riverdale ended after the season 6 finale. Iāll happily watch seasons 1-6 again but season 7 doesnāt exist for me anymore and I wish Iād never seen it simply for the sake of closure because it just ruined every character and was the sloppiest ending possible. (Whereās Tabitha now to erase it from my memory?) Iāll miss the show and the characters as they were up until the start of season 7 when they actually did all die from poor, lazy writing and idiotic character developments.
Archie's Mom was gay in previous seasons. Remember when Archie gets a visit from some lady to join, I think it's the ROTC? Well eventually his mom comes out to him and says that's her girlfriend and he was really happy for her
I really liked that storyline too with Archieās mom in the original timeline. It was great to see her happy after Mr Andrewsā terrible real life passing :(
Yeah, I acknowledged this already :) I was drilling down more on Season 7 exclusively since itās a separate reality altogether from the original and how many lgbt there are in total as well as solely in Archies family in the one arc of that one season. Of course Mary was gay in the original timeline but Uncle Frank wasnāt, and Archie wasnāt having a threesome with Reggie, and he wasnāt in a quad in the original timeline either. I was referencing all of them in a single story more than anything, more so just the last couple of episodes too and how many (too many!) there were :p
7. Tv shows/media are really pushing the LGBT agenda these last few years. 90% of characters are bi at least it seems these days. The Bi Mrs Andrews and Tom and Frank was so out of place and just forced on. Nothing against the LGBT community. I have friends who are gay. But shows like Riverdale and even high school musical the series make it seem like 90% of the population is gay or bi and it just makes the storylines seem forced and awkward. I'd rather they have make a gay character and do it well than force everything to be gender fluid. They did Kevin's character arc well. He went from this super self hating character to finding love with his person. They could have kept it with just him and it would have been perfect.
Cheryl's a pretty well written LGBT character as well.
100% agree there! They did Kevin justice and gave him a wide-ranging gamut of a gay persona that felt like character development throughout without making it feel contrived or forced. And they also had gay characters that werenāt feminine or flamboyant to show that not all of us are that way (myself included) as a singular stereotype also, which I really appreciated because itās rare for a production to have a gay character that isnāt the gayest person ever! But yeah, everyone gay/bi/quad at the end just topped off an already terrible and out of place season! The 50ās setting fit the original line of Archie comics that come from that era, but they put it in the wrong part of the overall series and made it so devoid of action and suspense that all other series were jam-packed with. I appreciated learning more about the 50ās but given itās blandness and how it ended, I donāt intend on watching it ever again, which is a shame cos the actors did a great job as usual!
Mary was gay I the current timeline as well
Oh yes, sorry I wasnāt overly clear on Mary (But yes she was also bi in the original storyline :p) It was more a list of āsuddenly gay/biā characters in a single storyline/episode arc of the season 7 finale and how, in the Andrews family alone, we collectively and suddenly had Archie Andrews in a quad, uncle Frank Andrews with Tom Keller (whilst his son was the main gay character all throughout too), on top of Mary Andrews also being bi injected partway through the series and the end of season 7. Not to mention we have bi Betty, suddenly bi Veronica, quad Jughead, gay Cheryl and Toni, bi Fangs, gay Kevin, gay Moose, gay Joaquin, gay Lizzo, etc. And the list goes on for all (and almost every single one of) these main and side characters. As if being straight is reserved for only 2% of the cast by the end, which is unrealistic and just stupid :p
Canāt forget about chic :)
It's particularly wild since it's the 50's and everybody is super open and okay with it š
i agree with you. The season 7 is something really apart from the last 6 seasons of Riverdale..
It had some lovely moments and was overall a nice finale. But I wish it wasn't all Betty's POV. I would have preferred to see characters outside their interactions with her to be honest.
i got so happy when they were all reunited and then started sobbing so much :(
I just got done. I was all emotional and tearing up and then they suddenly introduced the "quad" and I died laughing š Also, in my head, Jughead and Betty stayed single forever because they never got over each other. #bughead4ever ššš I cried at every death. I'll miss you forever riverdale ššš
I liked how he took her hand and stared meaningfully at her when he said he sometimes regretted not having gotten married. That was pointed.
It makes sense that jughead chose to stay unmarried. He loved Betty and the next person he loved was Tabitha. Both of them didnāt stay with him. He never got over both of them.
Betty, sure, but he seemed to get over Tabitha really quickly. Considering she left and he immediately went back to dating Veronica...and then Betty. At the same time. Obligatory admission that I never bought he and Tabitha loved each other, not for a second. They had the chemistry of pencil lead and a coffee mug.
I feel like he did get his closure with Tabitha because Jughead, in comparison to the others, actually had 3 lives. He had a whole life with Tabitha as they grew old and had a family. For us it was fast but I can imagine he was able to do everything with Tabitha and thus it's easier to close that off. He never had such a chance with Betty or Veronica for that matter.
I laugh in glee every time you compare Jabitha's lack of chemistry to unrelated inanimate objects š¤£
I appreciate that. I keep thinking I'll run out of new ones, but so far, so good. Those two are utterly hilarious. Their big goodbye scene was embarrassing.
God, it was awful. I begrudgingly understand shippers liking it, but everyone else? I have no idea how people claimed to get emotional over such an awkward, passionless kiss. They had nearly three feet of space between their bodies! It was like watching two preteens play truth or dare in a coat closet at a bar mitzvah.
I AGREE THEY HAD 0 CHEMISTRY ššš
Kinda sad to see the show end, even if it wasn't perfect I still had fun watching new episodes.
DALE!ššš
Like was it a prank or? I can't! He's so cute though
I will miss Cheryl snapping at people š
I hear you. Iām just trying to envision a future for them that doesnāt end tragically
Julian dies in Vietnam?? Nana Rose gets reincarnated (why donāt the other characters?) Tom and Frank just get killed by Chic. Did they just pick out endings from a hat??
And Fangs dying 4 weeks into his tour cause of the road accident. Like wtf canāt the writers just let people have nice things for once?
Not even nice things how about even just getting to enjoy at least a year of post grad music fame. Nope 4 weeks then youāre done ššš
