It’s September 1st and it’s Tuesday so I’m bringing back the Pretty Little Liars Tuesday that ABC Family was doing to relive my childhood but I go on Disney Plus and I’m reminded of this weird description for the pilot they have up lol

Trying to remember if the show creators actually wanted to do something along these lines

I love this show sm

I'm so sad it's almost over.

@spoiledbat222

The theory is aria never going to Iceland but radley instead

Arias sasquatch notebook transported me back to highschool

jeez i know they’re looking at it objectively but could they have been any meaner 😭 the way most of these reviews went on to be completely flipped is insane. no wonder troian talked about the imposter syndrome and insecurity she had when she first got cast as spencer, because imagine getting cast on a brand new show and then seeing reviews like this ,,, the fact that they judged her the harshest when she went on to be considered one of the best actresses on the show is so ironic. i also think they did a little too much with shay 😭 i get on her sometimes too, but people really failed to realize this was one of her first acting jobs. what do you guys think about the reviews though? do you agree or disagree with any of them?

My ranking :

6-Allison

5-Aria

4-Emilly

3-Monna

2-Hannah

1-Spencer

I’m an OG watcher, and have seen s1 - s6 (first half) many times. I never watched s7. It just never caught on for me.

I finally finished it, and I gotta say…not bad! I mean, “bad”, yes, but in like a fun way lol.

Anyways, here are just a few of the many moments from the time jump onwards that cracked me up I rewound them to experience again. Enjoy!

1) This line from Jenna
2) Headless Noel (I love how falling on that old axe sliced right through his bone
3) Not funny, just caught a typo in the last sentence (“here” instead of “her”)
4) Hanna going full Dexter on a lifelike doll of herself
5) I caught a crew member’s reflection in the iPad screen behind aria
6) The cursed fake Aria
7) Dream-sequence Ezra absolutely beat to sh*t
8) Beard Toby
9) British Evil Twin Spencer (“eLLo SiStAh!”)
10) This horrid wig on Ali

I’ll start!

1. I’d give Alison a mentally ill twin like in the books.
   Peter would be their father, having had an affair with Jessica, making Melissa and Spencer their half sisters. Jason would be Kenneth’s son.

2. The N.A.T club would be an integral storyline to the plot, with Jason, Ian and Garrett being predators.

3. Ezra would be Alison’s yes-man (because she’d be the 2nd A in my version) and would be in love with her; he would eventually be caught and sent to prison, taking the fall for Ali while she gets away.

4. CeCe would also be Alison’s helper but Alison and her would actually be a duo and like each other like true sisters. CeCe would have mental health issues and would die the a house fire (like the Liars believed Alison did in the 8th PLL book)

5. Mona’s death would be the driving cause for the last two seasons of my show, the timeline being 8 years in the future. She would be sucked back into the game, killed by Ali to lure the others back home.

just want to share how obsessed i am with this show and i watched the whole thing in a month

my boyfriend broke up with me in july so i was like “might as find a new show to watch”…. i did NOT expect to be so obsessed with it. i think i left my house 7 times within the last month. 1 because i am depressed from my breakup and 2 because i LOVE THIS SHOW. i finished it in literally a month. i need to reintegrate into society now!!

Either on rewatch or your first watch.

I’m currently on Season 1, Episode 9 “The Perfect Storm”

I love Hanna and Lucas’ friendship, Emily and Maya, the memorial.

17 years ago today Alison went missing.

Went on her Instagram and she hasn't aged a day for like 20 years

We often talk about the plot holes, questionable writing and annoying storylines, but for PLL Day, let’s give the writers some credit 🤓

What’s one storyline they executed really well and that you genuinely enjoyed?

Who’s with me?

I always re-start PLL on the 1st September every year with cosy socks, big mug of coffee, fairy lights. Candles lit. Perfect show to welcome Fall 🍂

How long does it take you to get through the whole series?

I feel like people always find Emily the ‘boring’ one or the one who has no character growth throughout the show. I’m on my MILLIONTH rewatch (i genuinely have lost count at this point) and am on the episode with the father daughter dance. She is genuinely so sweet and genuine. I don’t see how people find that boring. She just doesn’t do any wrong really, i think that’s why people find her boring.
The whole narrative that she went through nothing and that A was easy on her is stupid too.
Did everyone forget she literally got drugged with a steroid by A and got stomach ulcers?? Maya??? Being IMPREGNATED unwillingly?? like wow. imo she was put through the most by far.
Maybe i’m wrong and this isn’t as big of a narrative as I thought- but i’ve seen too many comments made about Emily’s character being pointless!

What did Mona do oh god!

Je regarde PLL depuis que je suis au collège et pourquoi ont-ils changés les cheveux de Maya ?

J’ai toujours préféré ses cheveux et son style dans l’épisode 1.

Même si l’actrice est incroyablement belle de toute façon j’aurais aimé qu’ils gardent cette DA.

Vous savez pourquoi ils ont changés ?

So Spencer’s Adderall addiction is something I can never shake from the show. Does anyone feel it was immensely over dramatic? I am definitely open to being wrong but would want to understand why it wasn’t or was overly dramatic from other perspectives.

It seemed like right away she was regularly taking extra which I don’t buy in to that much because after just starting up the medication I would think she’d already be plenty wired and not adjusted to the medication at all so unless she had a particularly low response I think it would already be pretty strong for her not something she’d so suddenly be taking extra doses of. (I know some people may be more prone to do that though and Spencer does show some addictive traits for sure.

But would she really be waking up at places she didn’t go to bed at? That’s gotta be pretty rare.

Her dream in that black and white episode was also pretty bizarre.

They wrote her to be so intense during that time which I also find hard to believe.

How long was she even taking them for when she went back on them also? (since we know she had been on them that summer Allison went missing) I could be wrong but it seems she wasn’t on them long at all for her to have gone to rehab and had what seemed like such strong withdrawal after like she seemed exhausted, but your brain and natural baseline from my understanding would not change that quickly in the short span she was even taking the medication? I could be wrong.

& since she wasn’t on them very long at all as far as I can tell wouldn’t her not getting enough sleep not be such a huge factor making her act so intense and erratic as she wouldn’t have been sleep deprived for that long? She was sleeping some.

Can anyone offer their opinion on the whole thing and how realistic or unrealistic they think it was? I just think it was really overdramatic for the plot but I’ve always wondered how realistic it could have actually been or if that’s also still extremely unlikely.

I saw a comment earlier today that said they gave spencer an adderal addiction and not a coke one bc it’s abc family. And it got me thinking. They toned down a lot of the early seasons bc it’s on a family friendly network. Now I started to wonder what kind of storylines would they have done had it been on a more adult network.? Like OC or gossip girl (same network I think not sure) or OTh. Would there have been a teen pregnancy storyline , a car crash? A SEVERE drug addiction like Coke instead of adderal, maybe A could be more Gory. Idk. What kind of storylines do you think would have been created had this show not been on a family friendly network ?
