Pretty Little Liars: Season Finale

Sorry for the long awaited Pretty Little Liars season finale post. I'm still mourning over the fact I have nothing to watch on Monday nights. Is it me, but it seems like it's been forever with these hiatuses. It's been MONTHS since a new Vampire Diaries (just saying, but this is about Pretty Little Liars).

So the season finale didn't disappoint, they (the powers that be over at PLL) still left us all confused towards the end with 10 million more questions to be answered. It feels like it's a endless can of worms. Which in a way is good but might be super annoying to people who read the series and those who read about the series on Wikipedia (i.e.- ME).

Here are some of my questions/ concerns from the finale:


1. Garrett and Jenna


- Um. Did anyone see that coming? So in my extensive research from wikipedia, Garrett was not mentioned in the books. Or maybe he was but he wasn't a major character. The point is, I don't understand that relationship or the point of it. I guess it would have to be answered when the series returns.

2. Ian



- Yeah, Ian "killed" Alison. I use "" because I "like" to and I'm not "sure" along with everyone else if "Ian" is really "dead". However, for you PLL book readers if "A" is who "A" is in the book, could "A" really throw Ian like that. I mean"" could she?

3. Spencer's sister's baby bump.

- I don't think Spencer's sister is really pregnant. I'm just totally against the whole thing. Especially if she lied about going to Georgia in front of the pastor's wife. That baby bump happened so fast like Mr. Schue's wife's hysterical pregnancy. (Glee season 1).

4. Ezra and Aria.



- I think this is the end. Which I am happy for because the world's most boring couple definitely goes to those two. I mean it wasn't that scandalous if you look back at the history of teacher/student relationships on teen angst dramas. The number one teacher/student relationships goes to Pacey Witter and his English teacher Tamara Jacobs (that's Dawson's Creek circa 1998)



So I can honestly say I enjoyed PLL. I hope it returns quickly because I REFUSE to watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager (they talk to much on that show, way too much talking).

Thought, theories of Pretty Little Liars? Share away!

TV: Pretty Little Liars

Pretty Little Liars is coming to an end but will we have some answers? It always feels with this show that it's one step forward and then a million steps back. What's up with that?!

This episode was okay, nothing too big revealed except for the end but it wasn't that fulfilling. Hopefully the season finales leaves us with an O.M.G moment (like Hanna getting hit by the car but then a miraculous recovery. Just. Like. That.) I just want some questions answered man. Who is A? Did Ian kill Alison? Is Jenna really blind? (Yeah, I know she is but didn't you feel so bad for her when Hanna slapped her last episode? I almost cried, that was scary!) When is Mr. Fitz going to get fired? Why is that policeman so creepy? And how did Spencer's sister get super pregnant so fast?

I love this show but sometimes I feel like they just introduce a character and get rid of them in a second. The same thing I felt with Lucas but from the promo for the season finale he's back. I didn't miss him that much. Caleb was such an improvement from Lucas and the boyfriend (whatever his name was). I feel like Caleb reminds me of Jacob Black (what Jacob Black should of been instead of awkward Taylor Lautner.It's not his fault the whole cast is awkward, he goes with the flow... the flow of awkwardness). Anyways Caleb was a really cool "bad boy". Not so bad but smart ass, yes! More Caleb please!

Another thing that I want to see is more creepy Ian. Ha ha. He's so creepy. Why doesn't the rest of Spencer's family see that? He's like EVERYWHERE! EVERYWHERE! But it's good because you know he's a rat and he's totally going to get caught for being a rat. 

As for Emily... gosh is her story line annoying and boring. Emily needs to loosen up. Even when she was "drunk" as Deena Nicole puts it she was not a holiday in a glass. LOOSEN UP EMILY! And that girl Paige has issues, SHE TRIED TO DROWN YOU! Hello?! Anyone remember that? Anyone?

Anyways, let's hope that next week's season finale is promising. I want my questions answered darn it! At least one. I'm so happy I'm watching the show instead of reading the books. My friend wikipedia told me everything I wanted to know about the books and I'm kinda disappointed with the story lines.

Promo for next week:

Well that's how I feel about it.

Let's start a dialouge: Tell us what you think?

Who's A?
Who's creepier? Toby? Cop guy? Or Ian?
Who does Spencer remind you of: Scooby-Doo or Nancy Drew?
Who's more annoying? Aria or Emily?
Are you so over Mr. Fitz?
Isn't Caleb awesome?

These are the things that keep me up at night.

Tell next week

What I watched on TV last night: Pretty Little Liars

Well, I know who "A" is... thanks Wikipedia and my awful curiosity. I just can't believe it took like 3 books (I think) for them to reveal who the mystery person was. If I was actually reading the books, I think I would have been pissed. But then again you have a different experience when you read. Like for instance the Twilight series was somewhat exciting more so than the movies. Somewhat.

Anyways last night was interesting. Lot's of display of emotions and non-emotions and no need for emotions. I really feel bad for Lucas, poor fellow he needs a hug. However, that Noel dude is very creepy and Ezra needs to grow a pair. I think everyone on that show needs to be a little more assertive. Like Hannah should have been like "No Mona, I don't want these people in my house because we have tons of money that my mom took stashed all over the kitchen." But no, she didn't and now possibly mom is going to have drug problem just like Cindy did on the new Melrose Place (same actress and I think that show should of had another chance).

But I digress, I wonder what's going to happen. Are they going to reveal who "A" is soon? And Spencer is totally on to something, she reminds me of a Nancy Drew or Scooby-Doo. And how creepy is the Toby-stepsister thing?? Yuck. Incest is never okay. You go Toby! No means no!

I just have to give major props to the actress who plays Mya, Bianca Lawson. The chick is like 31 and still playing a teenager and she is flawless! Huge fan of her since Buffy and Capeside (Dawson's Creek). And she was Emily on The Vampire Diaries, I hope they bring her back. Actually I think she would have been a better Bonnie.... just saying.



On to next weeks episode. This is the only show I like now on ABC Family since they cancelled my beloved Lincoln Heights (no more Chassie) and I refuse... REFUSE to watch The Secret Life of the American Teenager (too much talking, waaaayyy too much talking).

By the way does the opening theme song remind you of the original Weeds theme song. Let's do a comparison...

And an open letter to the creators of Weeds: PLEASE BRING BACK THE OPENING THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

What I watched on TV last night: Pretty Little Liars

Hooray, our favorite liars have returned! Sadly, I didn't write about this show last summer but I really enjoy it. It's like Gossip Girl meets I Know What You Did Last Summer.

With out any delay the show picks up right where it left off and still fails to leave you with that "so what just happened moment". We still have no idea who "A" is and right now it's kinda driving me nuts, but I'm intrigued. Without giving anything away, a lot of things happened, and didn't but there was a lead. Spencer now thinks that "A" is working with someone.

Here's what I think. I do concur that "A" is more than one person. I think it's that guy (the actor from "Smart House"- old school Disney), and Spencer's sister. The actress played that really crazy nanny on that one season of One Tree Hill that I watched. Or Spencer's sister's boyfriend and that Mona girl.

Or "A" is Andrea Zuckerman... Did you know that she turned 50 today? 50!



Can't wait to see how everything unfolds and folds back together again.

Pretty Little Liars is on ABCFamily Monday Nights (check your local listings, I'm not a TV Guide).

My Vote Doesn't Count: Teen Choice Awards

I've come to the harsh reality that as of tomorrow when I turn 25, my opinion no longer counts for such competitions as Choice Hottie. It is a sad, sad day. I'm not going to lie, up to a couple of years ago I was logging on the Teen Choice Awards website to vote making myself eligible . As pathetic as that sounds (which it is and I regret sharing that with the world-wide web), tonight is a worse situation: I am boycotting the award ceremony and feeling horrible about it as I type.

Why this all of a sudden sense of being an adult, you ask? Because I think it's about time. I'll be straight out, I love watching iCarly and ABC Family (Pretty Little Liars is my summer fave), but I don't have to actually participate in the communtiy.That's lame and sad.  I can remain a fan and still watch those shows, but learn my limits and not participate (less lame and sad, a closeted tween).

I learned this the hard way on may occasions during the past year. First occasion (on going occasion), a tween I attend church with knows I too enjoy the Jonas Brothers. Short coming of that occasion, the stares I get from my peer group, the adults. Second occasion, during my practicum as I was giving an assessment to a 8th grader the subject of New Moon came up. The 8th grader and I shared our plans about seeing the movie. Helllloooo? Wasn't I suppose to be doing something like I don't know, work.

Not get me wrong, it's great to connect to kids and know what they are listening to and build rapport but when does it turn into you're too old to be liking what I like? It reminds me of that Knocked Up scene, where Leslie Mann and Katherine Heigl are trying to get into the club and Craig Robinson calls them out. I don't want to be Leslie Mann crying on a curb in a couple of years. That's sad. I don't want to end up being that mom. You know, that mom.

Excuse the cursing :(

Anyways, maybe this is just a cry out for the loss of my youth. But I'll read about who wins tomorrow on MSN anyways :)
