Smithers or Pop Tate being the killers definitely would've shocked me. It would've been better than some random that we knew for two episodes, who was also super obvious. Svenson was so obvious that I thought he was a red herring. Same. I heard a few of my friends say they thought Mr. Svenson was the Black Hood and I laughed, because I thought they wouldn't go that route because it was too easy and obvious, but I guess I was wrong. I'm so used to murder mysteries where a killer or an anonymous character turns out to be someone completely unexpected, and I'm always in for a shock factor. They should've at least introduced Joseph at the beginning of season 2 and made him come across as a nice, older character like Smithers or Pop Tate. I hate that they introduced him so late and made it so clearly obvious. I'm hoping Svenson was either hired by someone, or there is more than one Black Hood, which I'd be all for. I theorized before there were two, particularly how Grundy was the only victim of his to not be targeted with a gun. I found that strange.

Also, the scene with Archie and Veronica kissing under the mistletoe and someone taking pictures was clearly a striking point.
