Hello lovelies, so this post is a little unorthodox for my blog but I felt I had to share with you! I have been watching Pretty Little Liars the day it came out so like a lot of people I have been waiting six long years for this moment. We finally know who A is!! And for those of you who don't watch PLL, please stop reading this blogpost and go get yourself onto netflix until you have caught up!
*SPOILERS*
So us fans have finally found out the identity of A after six long years and there are a lot of mixed reactions on the finale. I wanted to give my opinions of the episode and the whole storyline behind it. It was revealed that Charles was in fact Cece who is the first transgender character on the show, and the episode also dived into a little bit of insest. With a week gone since the reveal of A I thought it was time I shed some light onto the matter!
Opinion of A being A
So a couple of my friends and a lot of people on twitter were very very disappointed with this choice of A. But I really really wasn't. I thought it was so clever how they'd done it and how it was so obvious yet I didn't suspect a thing like that! Everything now fits into place, the dress that Mrs. D was hiding when Alison found it, who killed Toby's mum, the whole Radley thing in general. I think it's a piece of genius and I have searched high and low for many many theories previous to this and I don't think I saw any that were correct. I love how they made you actually feel sorry for A and be able to connect with her. I honestly thought it was brilliant.
Transgender Character and Insest
So many people took to twitter slating Marlene King and the other writers for making the first transgender character a psycho. Yes Cece had been to Radley and done some very crappy things to the liars but what makes everyone think she is actually ill in the head? Mr D put Charles in there because he tried to 'Kill' Alison, but we saw in the episode that he actually really loved Ali and just wanted to make her feel better. As for her being A and doing all the messed up things she has done, why does that make her mentally ill? I think she just loved the game. Doesn't necessarily mean she is mentally ill. And as for the insest, people are definatly taking that out of proportion. Cece even made a joke about 'how frustrated' Jason was (which made me giggle a lot actually) so obviously nothing happened, it was just the desperation of an abandoned child wanting to be with their family.
Radley & Bethany Young
Well, little innocent Bethany turned out the be a massive bitch didn't she? I'm glad that the girls finally know about who killed Toby's mother and I really hope it doesn't just get forgotten about in the next upcoming episodes as they have obviously skipped five years. I want to see Toby's reaction to it all and see how that plays out. And we finally learn who actually killed Bethany after everyone thinking it was Spencer, then Mellisa, then Ali.. It was endless. Poor Mona killed Bethany by accident thinking it was Ali, which I think brings out a whole new side of Mona if she was willing to do that. I mean we all knew she was a bit twisted but she was little A, little A didn't going around killing everyone.
Unanswered Questions
Although we were promised a summer of answers, they did not disappoint but I do still have some questions I would like to know the answers too! The main one being who actually killed Mrs. D? Because my money was on Charles before but now that obviously isn't the answer. The new characters that have come into this season, will we ever see them again? and are any of them actually suspicious?
The Sara Thing
I knew she was super dodgy at first but I was finally starting to trust her and BAM. Ruined. Poor Emily, she has the WORST luck with love life. But I do think because we technically found out redcoat was Cece that it is a bit confusing that Cece is A and Sara is Redcoat.
And the black widow too, i'm glad that was answered and that also made sense! I still don't know how she could do that to Emily. Another question would be if she actually had real feelings for Emily or not?
The 5 year jump
I am very excited to see how they play this out! And the clip that they did show us, there are a lot of differences. It has been confirmed that Alison is indeed married and hasn't just changed her name. Her surname is in fact the same name as a Doctor at Radley and we have been told she is married to a Doctor but that was all the information given.
We also find out that someone is after the girls again, or maybe just Ali this time. But this is a 'he' and this 'he' is confirmed to NOT be Charles/Cece. There is no confirmation that he is the new A but he is definitely the new 'Baddie' of the season.
I'm very excited to see what else they pull out of the bag and how they develop their characters further. I just really hope they don't miss anything really important from the last 5 years!
Sorry for the very long post with getting my opinions out there, if you love PLL just like me, let me know your opinions too! And also if you do like these blog posts I could do so many more of them as I watch A LOT of TV shows.
