DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD
I have been watching Pretty Little Liars since I was a wee seventh grader. Now, I am a rising junior in college who still looks forward to Tuesday nights at eight o'clock so that I can keep up with the show that's been with me since I discovered Netflix. Truthfully, I think that the show has lost a lot of its glory. After Season 3 when the dreaded "Ezra-is-A-but-not-really-because-he's-just-a-shady-wannabe-author" plot took off, the show just hasn't been producing quality content. The story is too convoluted. Irrelevant characters become relevant in the most haphazard ways. Big events take place and then they're swept under the rug and never spoken about again. But, I'm a sucker for following character development. Also, I'm a sucker for answers.
That's what we want, Marlene King. We want to know what the HECK is behind the hot mess that is Rosewood, PA. I have a handful of questions in mind and I think that my fellow fans would back me up when I say that I demand the answers to them. We've got a few episodes of the series left and let's hope they count.
Furthermore, if anyone reading this has answers, explanations, theories, insights, etc. send them my way!
1. Who Is A.D.?
This is obviously the biggest burning question. It's also one that must be answered. I'm sure it will be, but what I'm not sure about is if we're going to get an adequate explanation following the A.D. reveal.
2. Who Killed Charlotte?
This is the second biggest question, in my opinion. Whoever A.D. is, they want vengeance for Charlotte's death. However, they're only going to get that if they find out who the killer is. I also would like to figure out who the killer is.
3. Who's Side Is Mona On?
Hanna
entrusted Mona to help with A.D.'s interactive board game of terror, but last
week's episode ended with Mona in a mini-lair with blueprint for the game,
insinuating that she's the one who created it. I've been very trusting of Mona
the past couple of seasons, but now I don't know what to think. How deep has
Mona gotten herself in the world of A? Does she truly want to keep terrorizing
the liars, or is that she just can't get herself out of the mess she created?
4. Where Did Melissa Go?
I really don't think Melissa did anything serious, and I would be shocked if she was A.D., but I still want to know why she's MIA and why she seems to matter so much in the strangest of times. I believe that she knows so much more than she's letting on about her family and the DiLaurentis's.
5. Is Emison For Real, Or Are You Just Queer-Baiting Us?
I have been rooting for Ali and Emily since Season 1 and I'm not stopping now. They're having a baby together and they've said their "I love yous," so is it too much to ask for that they get a happily ever after? Especially Emily because she's been through so much and deserves it more than anyone.
6. Will Aria Get What's Coming To Her For Joining The A Team?
I'm not surprised that Aria started playing for A. She's always struck me as a selfish character, but now every time she's on screen doing dirty work for A.D. I'm enraged. She says it's all to protect Ezra, but is it really though? Because every time she's with him she looks completely disengaged, like she couldn't care less what he did. I just think Aria has messed up morals and I want to see the other liars get some justice.
7. How Are The Liars Going To Get Away With Rollins/Dunhill's Murder?
There is no legitimate way I can see them getting away with this, especially with the evidence that the police have and the fact that Spencer basically confessed to being involved. But I can't see them going to jail as a series finale, so how are they going to pull this off?
8. Will Spencer And Toby Reunite?
Toby has been MIA since Yvonne died, which is completely understandable. I just don't want to see his character go unresolved in the end. He deserves so much more than he's getting.
9. Why Does Wren Keep Coming Back?
Every time he comes around he's either too compassionate or too shady. Honestly, I can't seem to figure out why he matters at all.
10. How Exactly Does Jenna Figure Into All Of This?
Jenna has been suspect since day one. She becomes super relevant and then leaves in a cyclical fashion. However, I feel like we don't really know exactly why. And I'd like to know why. I want to know all of Jenna's motives and all of the shady things she's done.
11. Why Again Did Jessica DiLaurentis Die?
The most recent episode dug a little into this. Peter Hastings and Mary Drake seem to be the one's responsible. But how and why? That one went right over my head.
12. Is Ali Truly The Person She Appears To Be?
Contrary to popular opinion I love Ali. I have been so engrossed in her character development. What I really want to know is if she really has changed for the better. Sometimes the "old Ali" comes out in the subtlest of ways. This doesn't necessarily mean she's still the worst, but I'm a little 'spicious.
