Look, I know there is zero chance of this happening, but imagine how glorious it would be, if tomorrow, at PaleyFest, no one asked any shipping questions … If, in fact, no one asked any pertinent questions!
Is it really passive-aggressive to want to ask things of no consequence, if the show only gives you plots of no consequence?
Just imagine, if people went …
- Was Caramel Polly’s cat too or just Betty’s?
- How many of Samm Pansky’s clients ended up being best-selling authors?
- Who does Nana Rose’s hair at Thornhill? Tutorial, please!
- Will we see Cheryl using mixed media or is she strictly oil-on-canvas?
- How many kidneys does Fangs have?
- What are Juniper and Dagwood’s favourite subjects at school?
- Tabitha Tate: Pop’s classic burger-and-fries or Chicago-style deep-dish pizza?
- I expected Archie to go shirtless more frequently after his wardrobe was wrecked during the explosion. Will this be explored in future episodes?
- Will there be another musical episode? If yes, could it be West Side Story and could Kevin play Officer Krupke?
- Does Britta still go to school?
- As a school counselor and a biker gang leader, what are Toni’s tips for motorbike safety?
-How much wood would a woodchuck chuck How many serial killers would Betty serially kill, if Betty could serially kill serial killers?
- Does Jughead’s new super power mean he hears his own thoughts as well? Will he now narrate with reverb effect?
- Did Veronica enjoy teaching at RHS?
- Would Reggie grow a moustache? And if so, what would it be: the chevron, the walrus or the handlebar?
- What is Dr Curdle Jr’s first name and favourite ice-cream flavour?
- What kind of fish are in Sweetwater? Could salmon aquaculture be the answer to Riverdale’s declining economy?
Naturally, there wouldn’t be any questions about Toffee, because RAS would be prepared. Hot Dog and the anonymous snake at the old Whyte Wyrm, on the other hand, would be both game!
If, however, I wanted to be really snide, I’d have one question and one question only, because the writers’ attempts to capitalize on the BLM movement to promote their show have been abysmal. Kudos to them for supporting what is right and just. But using it as advertisement for the show, especially, when they haven’t fixed what is problematic? Not ok. Toni’s s5 job being a vehicle for Cheryl and Archie’s storylines? Toni’s pregnancy being a vehicle for Kevin’s trauma plot line in s5? The fact that in s6b out of the show’s 5 poc regulars, 2 are shown as villains (Veronica, Reggie) and 2 are given a gang violence-related plot? Not. Ok.
So,that question to RAS would be:
“During the summer of 2020, you’ve been very vocal about the show’s effort to be socially aware. And yet, when the show resumed and the time-jump happened, you showed a sheriff, an FBI trainee, an ex-army officer and three civilians conducting a no-warrant forced-entry police raid, which you advertised as “badass”. You finished off that season with the same law enforcement officers letting Hiram walk free in spite of having condemning evidence against him. So, my question is: what changed?”
I, too, would like to know how many kidneys fangs has. Is kidney regeneration his superpower?
