Yeah, Riverdale fans, you're FINALLY going to get the rest of the season.

[Dark Avenger]

A long wait and it's back. Looks like once S5 ends we go right into 6. If 6 starts later this year. They'll be virtually no break in between. Still 5 months off was weird.

[Tim]

The rest of the season might have starting sooner.  But it seems they wanted to wait until the Olympics were finished.

[Silas]

Yeah, I think that is why, because Kung Fu ended weeks ago, the season would have taken its slot I think by now.

And looks like we'll have to put up with something like that again next February because that's when the winter Olympics air. So they'll put everything on hold for two weeks again. We shall see.

[Dark Avenger]

The 5 month break  was so uneccessary and I guess I should have rewatched the last episode before tonight. As couldn't remember what happened.

Oh wow a Hiram backstory no one wanted.

Batman and Superman reference in Riverdale nice

So the Archie moments must have been inspired by the events when Archie met Batman '66 and it seems like Jughead doesn't let things go, he goes to the extreme and will sully your name in a book. As for Reggie, at least we know why he is working for Hiram.

[Tim]

The 5 month break was so unnecessary and I guess I should have rewatched the last episode before tonight. As couldn't remember what happened.

That's the problem with such breaks.  People forget.
