Riverdale: Final Verdict

Character development from Betty, Veronica, and Archie has not changed from the first episode. The only person who seems to have any character development is Jughead because of who he is. The fact that he does not say a ton all the time, makes for a good character development. When he does say something, it is important and it is relevant. Jug is a strong character.

I feel as though; Betty and Veronica say too much and that does not allow them to have any significant character development. They tend to talk too much and I don’t know who they are exactly by the things they say. They are predictable things they are saying, and I cannot figure out if that is good or bad right now. However, like I said before, plenty of times, Jughead is the main star of the show.

Veronica being that “bitch” of a character is becoming predictable. Betty is the goodie-two-shoes and that is predictable. Archie is the good boy turned bad and that is predictable. We know what these characters are going to do, something eye-opening or something not so eye-opening. It is just about when and how they execute it.

What we do need is more from the “gay best friend” (Kevin Keller) – what he is labeled as because no one can remember his name. Mostly because he is the friend on the side who says witty comments and talks about the cute boys of the school. We, as viewers, get nothing from him and we rarely see him unless there’s a guy involved or Betty at school. He does not show up unless it is a situation where he is needed, essentially.

Where is he when they are at the café drinking milkshakes? Is he not that good of a friend? It confuses me because he is one of my favorite characters aside from Jug. We need more of a basis for him, other than just an extra. Right now, he is just an “extra” in the show “Riverdale.” When he can act and his character is important to the show. Petition this.

I enjoyed the sass from Veronica, but she bowed down when she was confronted and that I don’t like. If you want to have a “bitch” character that’s a strongfemale character, then she needs to be able to stand up to asshole guys. I want to see more of that from her. Not just talk, but action. I, also, want to see more of Barb (Shannon Purser).

Josie is badass, she has a little character development in this episode. She is getting there because she has, so far, been just a girl who sings. I want to see more of this and I want to see more hints of “black lives” in TV shows. More hints of privilege in TV shows. We need that. We need this. Respect.

I want the character development to be less forced between Cheryl, Betty, and Veronica. I want it to come naturally and it to be something I am not annoyed by every time they speak. I want more for these characters. We are getting Betty turning “bad” because she is influenced by Veronica, but I saw that coming. The “good girl” always gets influenced by the “bad girl” friend and thus turns bad in result of that.

The Archie Comics are predictable, the comics are not about anything crazy. The way these characters are on the show is the way they are in the comics. I cannot complain about that. That is why I have an issue. When you turn a comic or creative measure into a TV show or film, you need to give these characters more depth. More something. They don’t have that yet. Granted, this is the third episode. We have time and I want to see it.

Side note: WHY WAS I SO HAPPY BETTY’S MOM GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE?

All and all, I am tuning in next Thursday – are you?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
