Riverdale 2.03 Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods

Riverdale 2.03 Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods

Why does this Black Hood take trophies of the adults but not the kids? He shot the kids and none of their possessions were taken. Fred Andrew's wallet was stolen. Miss Grundy's sunglasses. People all revolving around Archie.

What in the world is a Ghoulie?! Why are there more than one gang groups on the South Side? This complicates things but I guess there wouldn't be Serpents if they didn't have a rival gang. They need a group to challenge so obviously seems like the best way to present itself. Jingle Jangle is also a silly name for a street drug. Then again, Riverdale is supposed to be perky and fun... it's just we have murder thrown in!

I do feel bad for Kevin's anger. He has this inner turmoil and he wants so hard to be himself but he's in a conservative town hiding. I don't think the dialogue missed the mark, but you're kept guessing as to why he's always running in the woods. Only the imagery of seeing fellow gay men do you realize he's there to meet up with strangers. These strangers are also hiding themselves in the dark, just like Kevin. That one angry male adult really scared me though. That's when predators show aggression and you get uncomfortable in a snap.

Red Circle looks silly. Why am I laughing so hard that he found the name off his old comic book? I wonder how long this will last but it's fantastic how the idea took off with advice from Hiram Lodge.

How easy it is for Mr. Lodge to plant a seed so suddenly to show the ripples of his actions. Involving himself this way shows he's used to get his way. All he has to do is plant a seed, not really lifting a finger to start something. It's almost admirable, especially since they were able to help Ethel. I don't know why she's walking late at night on a scary road alone, but that's always how it happens. Everyone knows to steer clear of those pedophile vans!
