BRIDGERTON Season 3 Kanthony | Sneak Peek

ONE DAY ↳book > screen

Imagine one selected day struck out of your life and think how different its course would have been. Think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on that memorable day. - Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

He lay down once more, and after a moment she followed and jumped a little when she found out that he had slid his arm beneath her shoulders. There was a self conscious moment of mutual discomfort before she turned onto her side and curled toward him. Tightening his arm around her, he spoke into the top of her head.

“You know what I can’t understand? You have all these people telling you all the time how great you are, smart and funny and talented and all that, I mean endlessly, I’ve been telling you for years. So why don’t you believe it? Why do you think people say that stuff, Em? Do you think it’s a conspiracy, people secretly ganging up to be nice about you?”

She pressed her head against his shoulder to make him stop or else she felt she might cry.

BONUS: While it isn’t technically a “Hey there, Juliet” moment, Jughead was really the Romeo to Betty’s Juliet in a school production of the Shakespeare classic as featured on the cover of Jughead #315 (1981).

Another thing, in episode 4, Cheryl referred to the gang as “sad Breakfast Club” so here’s an alternative cover for Archie #28 (2018) that was illustrated by Dan Schoening. It that depicts the Riverdale gang as characters from the John Hughes classic (although this one features Reggie instead of Kevin).

Speaking of pop culture references, Jughead also referred to them as the “Scooby gang” so here’s the core four (and Hot Dog!) dressed up as those meddling kids in Archie’s Weird Mysteries #6 (2000).

Seeing Lockwood & Co get canceled just reinforces how important the writers’ strike is, I think. The WGA’s demands are confronting the corporate shift spearheaded by Netflix which tosses aside at a moment’s notice the stories that people love, even if a show is watched and discussed and profitable. The point of a strike is that there is no reason this business has to be done in the way that the executives have chosen. All people involved in the creative process deserve a fair wage. Viewers deserve to see the stories they love—and support with literal money—continued. 

By Netflix’s own metrics, there was no reason to cancel Lockwood & Co. The entire media landscape does not need to be made exclusively of blockbusters. The people working in the entertainment industry do not need to be scraping by to make ends meet while being turned from valued employees into discardable gig workers. None of this has to be the way it is—people are making choices. And the WGA is absolutely right to say no.
