I just don't know why Emily and Ali needed a pregnancy like that to get them together. It's so forced. Let the characters get there on their own with out any rape storylines I know it's totally not the point and I agree with yours, but I would add that on a scale of 1-10, their chemistry was a -7528. Truly the least believable sex scene of all time... that buzzfeed quote was everything... I know lesbian sex is confusing, but generally it involves skin touching. I could not stop laughing at that. |

So I used to read these recaps after each episode. The gal who writes them works for a site that is all about the LBGTQ community and they do a lot of recaps of shows that have LBGTQ characters (she was on a different site for the first few seasons). Her recaps were one of my favorite things about watching PLL. She's hilarious and calls out this show on it's ridiculousness but also makes you think about some of the story lines. Here's the link if anyone is looking for something to read. www.autostraddle.com/?s=pretty+little+liars |

I like how Jason hooked up with his sister and his cousin. That's probably why he disappeared, he was bleaching his whole body.

Also the Alex reveal means slut daddy Hastings had 3 secret illegitimate children. That's got to be some kind of record. Are any kids in Rosewood not conceived based on deception and lies?

Let the characters get there on their own with out any rape storylines I'm 98% sure they only wrote the baby story line in because Sasha put on weight due to her hormonal issues and the writers couldn't let one of their precious, perfect Liars gain weight for natural reasons. No, she had to be pregnant, as that was the only acceptable reason for her size to increase. I have said it multiple times, but the story line actually makes me sick for Sasha. How effing demeaning to be written as pregnant when you aren't (and it is clearly a way to write in weight gain). If they would have had her wearing a fake bump, a la Rachel Greene, that would have been different. |

This show never made any sense and I think I just got over it quickly and loved it anyway. They literally threw stuff together like Ali snuck out for what? An hour. And she seen everyone in town and their parents yet no one knew what happened to her. Or didn't happen to her, instead Bethenny young apparently. Everyone ties in together in some weird ass way. And a couple towns over there is a legit haunted town, ravenswood. Plus all the 12 year old girls can very easily fake their death and just run away. And none of the adult men can recognize them for teenagers or they do but don't care anyway. Not to be picky, but she was 15 on the show, not 12 (like in the books). She disappeared the summer before Sophomore year. Aria's family almost instantly packed up and moved to Iceland for one year. They came back at the end of summer before Junior year. After they found Ali's body, the newspaper results said she 'would have been 16 now' or something like that. She was born June 6, 1994 and went missing September 1, 2009 - 15 years old. The actress playing her, on the other hand, was 12 when they first got the cast together. |

That web also pointed out that Paige was with Shanna (another relationship I don't remember), which does eliminate my statement that Paige had absolutely zero ties to Team A (unless she were to join to protect Emily, like Toby, Spencer, and Melissa (she claimed)).

I'm still disappointed with AD being Twincer. I'm super disappointed we never got answers on Original A.
But I am actually really happy with the confirmation Wren was part of Uber A. I'm really happy it wrapped up a bunch of plot holes.
I'm still side-eyeing the claim that 'Wren and Melissa had broken up', because that would be impossible in that timeline, unless Melissa was never there in the first place. When Spencer went to the Oxford interview, did she ever SEE her sister (off-screen) or was she told that her and Wren were on vacation? Is it possible that Melissa was dead, too?

Wren hooked up with spencer when she was underage. Wren tried to hook up with Hanna. Ian was hooking up with Allison and spencer. |

I've only read the last few pages so sorry if this has already been talked about. But has anyone seen the rumors that Marlene ripped off the ending from a fan fic story? With the hot mess the show was no clue if it's true or not.

I'm extremely late to watch here but I'm watching now. Why is Arias dress so ugly? Is Alex's accent killing anyone else?
I'm only halfway through. I'm sure I'll have more see thoughts.

I love Monas breed of crazy and thought the tea scene was hilarious.
Not that into the new generation of Liars. I could have done without that.
Overall I'm satisfied enough. I've been hate watching for years so I feel free now.

I just thought of more questions. Why was Mona working with Alex at the end? Why would she want to and why did nothing ever come of that? It was so random. Also, why would Alex even want to work with Mona, wouldn't she want to punish Mona for killing her sister?

And she did Well, and she had no choice. Wren, working with Alex, entered her room at the psych hospital, planning to kill her. Mona convinced him, and Alex, that she could instead help free Mary from prison, which she did. She was first trying to save her own butt. While working for 'them', she built her lair in Paris and also found a boyfriend to pretend to be a cop to 'arrest' them once she got Alex's location. |

There is a video on Youtube where Marlene answers 50 of fan's biggest questions.
I don't have a link because I refuse to watch it. Apparently, most of her answers are along the lines of "that happened off screen" or "they had this conversation offscreen". It appears she was making it up as she went along.
I still say that if you have to give massive interviews after a show ends, you did your job incredibly poorly.
