    The creepiest thing about the entire show is that Ezra went out of his way to have a sexual relationship with 16-year-old Aria. And the show NEVER talks about this. The only reason Aria gets angry and they break up is because he was writing a book about them, not because he is a predatory pedophile. Everybody else, including Aria's parents, thinks that Ezra and Aria started out as a one-night stand without realizing the age difference but in reality, he sought her out and groomed her.

    I've never seen the show, but I know Allison is A in the books, so here's my take: I feel like it would have been more interesting if the person who attempted to kill Allison didn't matter, because the entire town of Rosewood refused to turn them in. She terrorized everyone so much that when she was "killed" everyone agreed that it was for the good of the town, so when she turned out to be alive, she used A to bully the people in the town into admitting who attempted to kill her. And the writers could have played around with who the killer was, maybe by planting it on different people or making it a team effort.

I would love for the both of them to have ended up being A or Aria assuming the position of A after Alisson died bc she wants to manipulate the girls into becoming friend again after they split up with Allison's disappearance (it would also explain why none of the girls ended up dead and why Aria would often be the one to "be around" after something traumatic happened to them all bc she wants the girls to trust her the most and to maintain the group together).

    Yeah, the best part about the reveal of a mystery is being able to connect everything, like “oh that explains...”, ”that's why this character...”, “so _that’s_ what happened there” and “that’s why *all* this happened”. Like, finding out who River Song was in Doctor Who, how she knew the doctor, why she did what she did, her name. In such a short span of time we found out who Amy's friend was really, and *then* River Song appeared. Man, I had to pause and start connecting all the threads for a bit. It explained so much. Even if I had guessed it earlier, it wouldn’t have been a bad reveal, because it made sense. You’re supposed to be able to connect the threads if you pay attention.

    It was actually forced "in vitro", not artificial insemination, as the eggs got fertilized prior to being implanted in Alison. The eggs were Emily's retrieved stolen eggs, not Alison's, and an artificial insemination would have led to Alison's egg being naturally fertilized inside of her own body.

    Yeah, it was very disturbing. Also, I think Alison and Emily had more chemistry during the flashbacks. When they actually get together, I think they look so stiff. It lacks passion, their kisses are so bland. I rooted for them out of nostalgia, but their relationship wasnt believable at all for me.

    The sad thing is that the books were really good! Part of what made Allison so evil was the lasting damage she did to her friends. In the first book, we learn that Hannah has Bulimia that effects everything she did, even in later books. Emily was a bisexual who was shipped off to her incredibly conservative aunt and uncle to 'straighten her out' and then ran away from them because of it, she also gets pregnant and has to give up the baby with no support from her family. Aria is a nice person who genuinely cared about others but was a little weird, she had to hold onto the secret of her fathers affair for years and Allison held it over her head. IMO Spencers relationship with her sisters fiancé felt a lot more predatory in the books, she tried to support her sister but her future brother in law kept making advances. Mona dies and stays dead. I couldn't watch the tv show because they ruined the characters and made them so shallow

    I rewatched the show and I definitely feel that Aria was supposed to be A. In one episode when she is watching those old black/white films, it includes the movie audio saying "Even his son", and a few episodes later it's revealed that Ezra has a son. In another scene of her watching a movie, it says something about a person having someone's head inside of a box; so it made me think that she hid Allison's head in a box (before they brought her back to life). Aaand, just before Mona was killed, she tells Aria "You know just where to plunge the knife and twist it", then she is killed in that exact way afterwards. I wish we weren't robbed of the Aria is A ending, it would have made the show much better.

The clue is that in one of the earlier books (book 5, I went back and checked), the girls go visit Alison and are told that she's in her room. They go upstairs and see her on the bed, but before they can talk Mrs DiLaurentis comes up stairs and tells Ali to come downstairs in a very "you're in serious trouble" tone. The girls eventually come downstairs and find Ali outside on the patio. She's wearing a different shirt and when Spencer asks her what she got busted for, Ali looks visibly confused. What had happened is that both girls were at the house at this time, and the main girls encountered one girl upstairs and another on the patio.

There's people who have actually been groomed and abused because Aria and Ezra is made out to be romantic, so they think it's romantic when a teacher or older man shows them attention and end up getting in some dangerous situations because of this shit show.

    Personally, I think Alison should have been the second A like in the books. I think one of the main reasons Marlene changed it because she wanted Sasha Pieterse to come back and play Alison in the present, but you can still do that with the A theory. You could even make her good if that’s what you wanted. You could make her pretend to be good while she’s “helping” the girls find out who A is, while making her draw them further from the truth. You could add some clues to this too, have the girls slowly pick up on the fact that Alison is constantly ruining their plan. It could clear up other storylines too. Noel Kahn’s motive could be his love for Alison like in the books. Noel could’ve been in love with Alison. Alison was also the only one not in the dollhouse, this could’ve been because she was A. If you wanted Cece to fit into the plot, she could be the one helping Alison stay hidden. She could be the one being A as Alison is in jail. This could also help the Red Coat storylines too. That was why Cece put Emily in the box, to keep the liars away from Alison. If the writers had taken more storylines from the books, Mona’s reveal could’ve been better as well. Mona wanted revenge for Jenna in the books, this would’ve worked for the show because we _literally_ see Mona *befriending* Jenna during the Halloween episode in season two. The Alison is a twin thing would be good for the same reason. Alison told a story about a girl who murdered her twin sister, just like Alison and Courtney. I think the main reason Alison shouldn’t have been in the liars on the show was because she doesn’t *care* about them. She’s not _supposed_ to. They’re just _dolls_ to her. She doesn’t care about them, they’re there for her to play with. She views everyone as her dolls and that’s how she’s so manipulative. She killed people in the books because they didn’t _mean_ anything to her. They were not on her level, for lack of better words, she was better than everyone. When we found out she killed Ian, like she did in the books but in a different way, I thought later we were gonna find out that Alison was just pretending to be back. Bethany Young was such a dumb plot point because Courtney was already there. The layout was there, but Marlene ignored it. You could’ve had a better mystery if it wasn’t for the shock value. The audience is _supposed_ to figure out who it is. It’s not supposed to be so hard that it’s literally impossible to figure out. TLDR; Ali would’ve made a better A.

    In the book A was Allison. She had a twin that was bat-shit who spent most of her life in a mental hospital since she was a child. The twin liked to pretend she was Allison so that she didn't have to go back to the institute. She finally succeeded once and Allison was sent to the institute in her place cause her parents didn't believe that she wasn't her twin. When she finally broke out at sixteen she had become even more mentally crazy than her twin ever was thus the A reveal.

    It wouldve been AMAZING if Ezra was A! He was a full-on creep, he was a little too neat and nice and A never directly went after him (A only threatened Aria to go after him basically) and then they had him act super creepy and intimidatingly, he stalked and spied on the girls for years...... for a novel??? that he never even published???? like what... just so he and Aria could end up together?? such a letdown

It landed on Aria and another A moved it to Spencer. That so would be Ezra. My picks were always Wren, Ezra, Melissa, Courtney being Jason's twin since in the book Ali and her are Spencer's half siblings and in the show Jason was so having it be him would be like the books but with a twist, and Pastor Ted I know the last one sound crazy but I want it to happen.

    Actually, a lot of the mysteries were in the books and had perfectly sensible build-up and development, but Marlene King wanted to "surprise" the audience or something and decided to take a different route most of the time. And I suspect a lot of the ones she wrote herself had a sensible answer too but once the fans figured them out, she decided to scratch that for the sake of outsmarting them.

    People are supposed to be able to find out the mystery, that means it makes sense! It will still blow the minds of most people who weren’t suspicious, and will be satisfying to those who found out themselves. Then you just sprinkle in some unknown information, to explain it better and tie up loose thread, like what happened the night Alison went missing, and you have a good finale. Always tie up the loose threads, preferably gradually during the show when introducing new mysteries, and not cram it all in the finale, but even that is better than leaving them open.

Honestly, even thinking about it now still frustrates me cause I was one of the people who would pick apart scenes and set design in this show to find clues about A. All that detective work gone to waste just because Marlene wanted to be “one step ahead” and just change the plot to suit whatever dumb surprise/twist she wanted to have. 🙄

Maybe if they would have just stuck to an original storyline, not strayed from it, even if it meant making less seasons, they could have created a satisfying story that was consistent and made sense. Quality not quantity! Instead, it snowballed into one disaster plotline after another just to keep it going. The plot holes, the clues that turned out to mean absolutely nothing, the creep factor that never panned out and instead the villains just became more and more ridiculous. It started off as great art and turned into garbage.

But then it started getting popular. So then they green light it for another two seasons which then they decided to add in guess what Allison is alive. And now it’s about adjusting to a dead not dead character. Then green light again. And now they decided let’s kill Mona but then it gets fucked up again and decided to change direction. So then they decided to change the mystery again and it just didn’t make sense. You could literally see the chucks of the mystery that would work as a seperate shows and spin-offs.

She couldn’t tell anyone or they would die the police didn’t listen to and was even tormented by a police officer she came very close to death multiple times and then your saying she fears everything well no fucking shit Sherlock of course she’s scared she doesn’t know who to trust.

Like, they all could have been made so much better, and had a real impact in the reveals. It made the actual reveals feel so flimsy because there was no real motivation- or if there was, it had nothing to do with the premise and set-up the writer's had given us.

    41:30 Mona helping Alison after she saw her injured is probably one of the only things that makes some kind of sense. I partly think this because of Janel's performance in that scene. Mona seems genuinely surprised that she killed Bethany - "but if Cece kit Ali..." and then notes that she basically never saw the face of the person she hit, just their hair and outfit. After Mona hit Bethany, she seemingly flees, which is why Melissa finds Bethany alone and is able her to bury her (alive) unobserved. Maybe Mona, realizing what she did, went back to find the body, but doesn't find her ( Melissa has already buried her) and freaks out. She's then driving around (possibly towards the hospital) and sees Alison with a head wound walking about. She must think - "holy crap, she didn't die." All Mona knows is that she hit a blonde from behind and Ali doesn't know who hit her because she (too) was hit from behind, so Mona can 'safely' assume Ali wouldn't suspect her and can offer to help. She takes Ali to the motel, cleans her up, comforts her, and then both suggests and gets her to disappear completely! Mona now must think she's safe, she hasn't killed Ali, Ali doesn't know Mona tried, and now Ali is leaving town altogether because Mona scared her enough as A and after having "hit her" in the head. Now when 'Alison's' body is she discovered, it seems like she probably didnt know it was not actually Alison - because Mona doesn't know Bethany existed (yet) and she didn't see Ali again after Ali drove off the morning after everything happened. As far as Mona thinks, it's been a year since she convinced Ali to leave. But when the body is discovered and it's identified as 'Alison,' Mona must think that Ali must have changed her mind about disappearing completely and came back. Maybe a few weeks in, Ali decided to plan a dramatic reappearance wearing the same outfit she disappeared in, but instead found another person who hated her and was killed and buried in her own backyard. Mona finds out during her A snooping that this 'Ali' was buried alive, so that would make her even more sure that 'Ali' was killed by someone else. She even noted just how many people hated Ali at that time, so there wouldn't be a shortage of potential murderers - maybe even the liars! It could have been interesting if part of why Mona was harassing the liars was because she thought one of them killed Alison. She read Ali's diaries and knew their dirt. She could have framed Spencer specifically because that's who she thought killed her! She might have thought she found a like-minded hater of Alison. But instead, Spencer inspires the liars to block their A texts, 'steals' her friend, thinks shallowly of Mona, and doesn't even properly befriend Mona when she tries to join the group. And then Spencer rejects a spot on the A team! But anyway, after all of that...MESS, Ali turns out to be alive, which must be just another way in which Ali appeared to Mona as larger than life, and would feel like even more a threat when she comes back to Rosewood High in season 5.

    Cece being A still makes sense if you take into account that she's actually CECE, not Charles. That's what makes no sense about her reveal. Her being trans. Not a single implication was made throughout the show ever since she showed up. But Marlene didn't lie when she said -A was revealed in Season 3. We literally saw Cece in a black hoodie listening to somebody (I think it was Aria, it's been 7 years since I watched it). So yeah, Cece as Cece makes sense, but Cece as Charles doesn't and it never will.

    Completely agree. Cece as A is a twist homage to the second A of the books. I'm planning to rewatch the show with a differenty backstory for her and see how the story was presented initially given the absolute divergence of her backstories between S3/S4 and Charles' existence.

I just couldn't, I called out the disgusting pedo relationships that was "romantic" and all the dumb shit that was happening. It did have a kick-ass intro song though which I made my ringtone for a long time
