I think that a number of stories got finished with the books, Logan for example (I mean he can be around as a romantic figure, but his storyline is finished. He's faced down his demons and shown us how he will function in the future). The books finished off some more stories, Lianne and Weevil. I think for a lot of people it is okay if V is just a PI all her life, but I think she came back to work on what she wants to be when she grows up and her relationship with her father, things that were cut off when she left Hearst abruptly and those storylines aren't finished yet, also Keith could use a bit more resolution (I hope).

Well, Dick did give the roofie to Madison without her knowledge with the intent of making it easier for him to have sex with her, so actually a rapist, even if his plot didn't work. Assault with a deadly weapon can be worse than manslaughter, because of intent. I think he honestly thought that Cassidy was gay and so couldn't rape Veronica, so just being a bully. I think Veronica had other issues with Madison, long term issues, and the lingerie store incident was more illustrative of why the incident bugged her and brought up Veronica's insecurities. Logan would have known that, too. She might have forgiven him for sleeping with Madison, considering they weren't together when it happened. But I think that Logan had said 'less pain now versus more pain later' and then got back together with her and when she ran into some more pain it occurred to her that he was right, it was just going to be a cycle of pain.

I'm also kinda' bored and waiting for the end. The mirror/Eve's identity thing is a bit much, though, particularly remembering that huge psychedelic flooring plotline. I know she isn't the best actress, but do we have to again? Just hint at the turmoil with a few words and move on. Maybe give ten minutes to Monroe assembling a three baby crib. I want to comment more, really I do, but I'm having trouble whipping up much interest. It is really too bad about this show.

It would be interesting if they could pull it off, but I think they would have to really phase him out. He could show up once or twice in an episode, sitting in a park with his guitar, getting a drink at the water fountain in his football uniform, seeing them at the malt shop. We'd get bits of him studying, getting a car, playing catch with his Dad. He'd be on a date with Betty when something would happen and Jughead would pull her away. On a date about to kiss Veronica over their shared malt when her mother comes over and orders her outside for a chat. At the end of the show he'd visit them all in jail or visit their graves as he drove off to State University. Sort of a counterpoint.

If the dog doesn't talk, or at least come with thought balloons, I'm going to be upset! The show needs a talking dog, stat.

So, did Jughead and Archie have a falling out because Jughead became homeless and didn't want Archie to know? Where is Jughead living now? In a Blossom mausoleum? Thing is you know Archie's father would take him in and the house seems bigger than necessary, so it is a puzzler to me.

I thought breaking into the bathroom when she doesn't respond and finding her with a pregnancy test might make sense, so yeah. Has to be a pregnancy storyline at some point.

It seems really overdone, It might be what Cheryl felt it was like, giving us an insight into her head. I think the overreaction was because it was the dress she was wearing the morning when she was last with Jason. I'm not sure if everyone would know that. Photo in the paper? Later in the show doesn't the mother 'threaten' her with boarding school in Europe? Oh, please, Brer Fox..... Was Jason the only one smart enough to want to get out of Crimson Peaks? also, that dinner party that Veronica was invited to? Was anything served except maple doused ham?

Works for me!

Thanks, I wasn't sure. Still, the mother controlling her daughter's duo personas with shades of lipstick is intriguing, too bad....

I just caught up with this. So, Cheryl says 'he was supposed to come back.' and then we find out he was shot a week later. Hey, zombies? Some strange witchy twin ritual and when he came back wrong she had to shoot him? Just sayin... Is there another place in town where the kids hang out because Pop's must be crowded on Saturday night. Maybe that's why everyone frequents the river's edge. If Veronica's mother is scraping by as a waitress why is Veronica giving out roses and mani-pedi coupons? Did I miss something? I found myself wishing for more Luke Perry, frankly, and in a less inane roll. Something in a brioche. Why can't I spell? He seems to be like a father bot, hoping for character development. In general I think that the interactions between people don't seem to really be part of an interwoven net of story, yet, just individual interactions between people. Maybe that will change.

I'll watch it to see Alan Tudyk on the screen every week and there is the potential for him ending up to be the Tom Thumb of the family. Bruce seems to be kind of a jerk, and face it, he probably is a jerk. The cast looks like different people, always appreciated, I prefer it to the shows where it takes me a year to figure out who's who.
-
I kept on hoping for zombies and witches, maybe a sarcastic cat? It doesn't seem to have much humor or its own personality.

A long time ago I spent some time in a small town in Iowa. There aren't many lakes in Iowa and this town wasn't particularly huge but there were a lot of mansions and luxury cabins around the lake. There was a country club, too.

It's the weird bushy eyebrows, giving him that werewolf crazy look. The weird bushy dyed eyebrows :-)

I think we were supposed to see Veronica as happy with Piz. She says so, to Mac. Also we see she is sexually insecure and Piz is letting her gain confidence before they take that step and he joins her in homework and in going to activities. Logan is, first off, by definition (look around) an emotional vampire and Veronica, like Keith, is a stayer, not a runner like Lianne (an unpopular opinion). I think the show tried to break Logan and Veronica up over and over, showing it was a horrible relationship and that fans and the network wouldn't let it go--which I think is why the ratings fell and the show was eventually cancelled. If Logan had disappeared to rehab at the end of season two maybe he could have reappeared in season four as a friend. I suspect that is unpopular. Also: I like Keith but I think he wasn't the best father during the period of the show, but that it was probably okay. I think the worst thing that happened to veronica was Logan taking the gun away from her on the roof, if he was concerned he should have talked her down. Being raped with her own taser and then essentially having control taken away again was really the worst outcome. I don't know that she would have shot Cassidy anyway, but it was a moment when she could choose between justice and revenge and Logan made it all about him. And to all, enjoyed reading this unpopular opinion thread. Unpopular opinions are the best.

I'm not sure we have the whole picture yet, but I think one can make a case for Chidi's motivations being self seeking, he was seeking always to not make a mistake (or to not feel guilt) and not considering the feelings or needs of others. Self centeredness seems to be a bad place qualification, Mindy certainly has it, too. -

If that happens, and it sounds like a theme, they'd have to have access to the whole system, which seems to be mostly lava monster inhabited physical torture based hell. Maybe Janet? -

I think we're going to see a lot of bumbling, good-hearted Michael, but we will know that he is evil, conniving....adding another layer.
