slightly silly: riverdale, episode 12: anatomy of a murder

i like that the riverdale writers decided to tie up the mystery of jason blossom's murder in this episode, leaving next week's season finale to queue up more mysteries to ponder over the long summer break.

these last few episodes of the show have been on point. everything is clicking, the core cast are all playing off each other so beautifully. and i do mean beautifully. one of the favorite things about watching this show are the aesthetics. every characters' look and wardrobe choices are so carefully curated. the atmosphere the set design and lighting evokes is so masterfully constructed. i love the artifice--it suits the story.

this episode was riverdale's twistiest yet. we learn who killed jason blossom, but before that final reveal we learn why everyone else was acting so damned shady. or at least some of the reasons. there are still enough secrets and lies in this town for the story to go places. and i'm psyched that we get one more episode in the season to serve as a launchpad for that.

the salaciousness of jason's death is only trumped by the scandal of who did it. how do the blossoms recover from this? now that we know the link between the blossom and cooper families, what happens? especially now that cliff is dead?

with the mystery taking the front seat to all the relationship drama this week, i imagine next week will refocus on that. there is still a lot of soapiness to mine from the love quadrangle. betty does not know that archie and veronica hooked up. what happens when she finds out? and what happens when she finds out that jughead knew and didn't tell her?

i love where this is going, you guys. i can't believe we've reached the end of season one already.

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s...

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

By
Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being. Epic fantasies force you to use your imagination and take you on an adventure to places you never thought possible, but as different as everything feels, there are still things that are always real, no matter how you write it. Keep reading to see what a handful of Entangled TEEN authors think about epic fantasies: Erica Cameron - Island of Exiles (The Ryogan Chronicles, #1): Why do I love epic fantasy? It's a blank slate. We can erase all of our preconceived notions of society and law and even science, throwing all of that over the side of a cliff. Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever...

When you know you shouldn't go there? Not even in your head.  Annie has never experienced the 'spark' with a guy-the kind of instant chemistry that steals your breath and blindsides you completely. Until a night out with friends brings her face to face with the wickedly sexy and mysterious Jack. It's not just a spark that ignites between them. It's an explosion. Jack promises to consume Annie, and he fully delivers on that promise. Overwhelmed by the intensity of their one night together, Annie slips out of their hotel room. She is certain that a man who's had such a powerful impact on her and who could bend her to his will so easily, must be dangerous. But she's already in too deep. And Jack isn't only dangerous. He is forbidden.
