Murder Monday: Dear A, Just Kill the Pretty Little Liars Already

Don’t get me wrong, I indulge in all the Pretty Little Liars ridiculousness. I will probably continue to until they either kill off my favorite characters, or finally end the show but I’m getting tired of A. 

This is because I do not understand A’s motivation. When A was Mona, I understood that Mona felt hurt by the Liars and wanted revenge/bitch is crazy. But honestly, the effort she went to was insane to me. So much so that in real life, that girl would never get out of Radley. This new A is even crazier. Red Coat A is off the charts in trying to hurt and torture these girls. So I do not get it. What the hell makes this okay? And why haven’t you just murdered them? They’ve been tortured enough; it’s time to end it. 

The only theory of who A is that makes sense to me is that A is Ali’s evil and/or crazy twin sister. I think this girl broke out of Radley to kill her sister. I think that the twin is probably justified because her sister seems like a genuine bitch, “My name is Ali and I don’t breathe until Mommy gives me what I want.” Then maybe evil twin decides to torture the Liars because she is jealous that her sister had friends when she couldn’t?

This isn’t enough motivation for me. None of the theories I have heard are. I’ve heard theories that say Melissa is A. But wouldn’t she ONLY torture Spencer? What did the other girls do to her? Nothing except be friends with Spencer. 

I understand that overall the motivation is that A is crazy. I got that from Mona’s storyline. She’s crazy so she wants to torture these girls. But “crazy” isn’t a motivation. It’s their motivation that makes them crazy, not the other way around. For example, every villain in Batman is mentally ill because they have something in their mind telling them that what they are doing is correct and justified. So far, it seems that A’s only motivation is that he/she is in fact insane and full of hate. There hasn’t been enough to prove why. 

I want the show to end. Or change gears. Can we know who A is, even if the Liars don’t? Or can we know who killed Ali but not know who A is? I guess I want answers rather than more questions, and all I’ve been given in this show is answers that lead to more questions and more complications. 

So A, please stop torturing these girls and just murder them already. You’ve been dragging it out for way too long.

Theory Talk Tuesday: Pretty Little Liars Season 4 TONIGHT!

Alright, so even though Pretty Little Liars is marketed to girls way younger than me, I still love this show. Guilty pleasure or not, I'm completely entertained and want to know who Red Coat is. And I want to know who the murderer is. That's not say I don't have my own theories. I guess my blog is week is all about theories!

Before I watched the clips above. I was convinced that Jason was the body in the trunk of Wilden's car. But in one of the clips Ali's mother mentions Jason and no one seems to think he's dead. The girls would know. They saw the body, and in the promo videos they seem to go to a funeral. So the question is, who died? Wilden? Then why would they go to the funeral? I say Wilden. If not Jason, then Wilden. For a moment I thought it might be Lucas, but Hannah would cry, right?

I don't have many theories on who Red Coat is. Either Ali's evil twin, as is hinted at in the first Halloween episode. OR Ali herself.

My biggest theory came from re-watching the whole series the past two months. I am convinced that the murderer is someone in the Hastings family. Whether it be Spencer's dad, mom, sister, or Spencer herself someone in that family killed (or tried to kill) Alison. Spencer's dad is clearly a creep, something is off about him. Her sister is also a ticking time bomb of crazy, and maybe she lost it on Alison that summer. The mother is the lowest on my list, but all the more reason for me to think it's her! It's never who you expect on shows like this (I'm reminded of season 1 of Veronica Mars)! Spencer is high on list because of the fact that she was awake before the other girls the night of Ali's murder. Also, even more reason besides love for her to lose her mind over Toby being A, maybe the idea of him knowing what she is capable of (and capable of accusing him of) was too much for her.

I hope we find out something and not just more questions tonight!

Trash Talk Tuesday: Season one of Pretty Little Liars

"Got a secret. Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then they know it
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead…"

- "Secret" by The Pierces

Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the show.

 

Some of have judged me for even bothering to watch Pretty Little Liars but since I have nothing to do (besides study for the GRE), I have been rewatching the show. After finishing the first season, I was left wondering: Why did I ever start this show in the first place? 

But I did. And I love it. But I think it is incredibly stupid. Especially when rewatching it, and having the knowledge from the later seasons. I'll keep my judgements short, since I do love the show. I've picked two things that made the first season hard to re-see. 

#1 Ali's brother Jason. I understand that the writers have no way of preventing actors from leaving the show, but Jason has a totally different personality, tone, demeanor, and everything in the first season. He comes off like an Ivy league rich boy creep. In the second season he suddenly looks like a Hanson brother. 

#2 How the hell did "A" who is supposed to be Mona, (and from my knowledge, only Mona) in the first season push Ian off that ledge? He looks at her, sees who it is, is scared, and then she able to push him off a ledge? He is a big dude, and she is tiny girl. Not believable. The hooded figure didn't even look as short as Mona. I'm hoping when they find out its Mona the liars question this and give me an answer. 

So, I'm looking forward to the new season and I've already started rewatching the second but I'm majorly judging. Feel free to judge me right back in the comments, I would love some explanation.
