Review of "Fast Times at Riverdale High"
Season 4 Episode 2
Though I'm quite proud of Episode 1's story line and the honor it showed Luke Perry, I will not be reviewing it.
In a weird turn of events, this episode actually showed our fav teens in school. Yes, in classes and the lounge and going to football practice. Charles tells Betty to act like "a normal high schooler." I laughed out loud. How ironic! He's also requesting her to participate in an FBI investigation.
Kevin is back and wants Betty's forgiveness and to be one of the gang again.
I understand that the actors are in their 20s, but why does this show portray them sleeping together so much? I may be out of touch with high school culture, but no teens sleep together as much as these do.
Thank you to the writers for a small mention of Betty's crush on Archie. I am a sucker for friends-to-couples story lines, and I hope they get some cute, romantic scenes by the end.
The new principal Mr. Honey seems suspicious to me. What is he hiding? Also, shout out to the casting staff for bringing in another actor from 90s dramas, as Kerr Smith starred on Dawson's Creek.
They wrapped up Reggie's relationship with his abusive dad quite quickly. I wonder if he will eventually move out because of all the oppression his dad inflicted on him.
When the episode had house parties and football practice, it reminded me of a twist between Friday Night Lights and One Tree Hill. The ongoing mysteries definitely took a back seat for this episode.
Another weird moment was when Veronica danced sexually at the teen speakeasy and invited the reporters who were going to interview her about her parents. The dance definitely had an adult nightclub feel to it, though they tried to make it classier by using a jazz song. Again, this does not fit with the characters as teens or a teen audience.
Veronica chooses to go by her mother's maiden name on her college apps. Is this legal?
And, finally, the crazy flash-forward: Why does Jughead go missing (and who is going to be the new narrator)?
Coming Soon: an opinion on youth ministry for girls and the elephant of singleness
