TV, contributors, Riverdale, The CW By Jessica Mason on Thu,12:10 The course of true love never did run smooth … I’m sure one of those Shakespeare-quoting, gargoyle-chasing kids of Riverdale will say that to Veronica or Archie when they find out that “Varchie” turned out not to be endgame, and is, instead, just at an end.

Big on the Internet, Bernardo Bertolucci, David Edelstein, NPR By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,3:22 David Edelstein should have stared at his post for a very long time, looked at himself in the mirror, exclaimed, "What is actually wrong with me?", hit "delete," and he would still have a role with the great Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air.
