But really though

Alright can we just talk about how fossing annoying Pretty Little Liars is getting recently? I feel like I don’t even know what’s going on half the time anymore. So the girls are now teaming up with Mona, who literally JUST tried to kill them for the seventh time and, yes I know they still don’t trust her, but if it were me I would have just taken a shovel to that wench myself and wiped my hands of the whole thing. But then I guess they would have to deal with the other twelve “A’s” trying to kill them, so that wouldn’t solve anything. But in my opinion the more of that team they put down for good the less concerned they have to be.

                 

But while we’re on this topic, how many people could possibly want to torture these girls? It seems like the minor bullying they dished out to Mona in high school somehow doesn’t add up to years of agony and fear getting dealt to them. And if “A” is instead after Alison (Wait did “A” kill Alison or was it someone else? Who killed Alison? Is “A” for or against Alison’s killer? Is “A” one person or thirty?), why is she/he/it/them taking out his/her/its/their aggression on her innocent friends? And for the love of The Big G how are Jenna, Spencer’s sister, that hot dead detective dude, and Ian all connected in this? WHO WAS AT THE BELL TOWER? I’m all for compelling television but I’m going to have to start making a diagram for this soon. Every time I watch an episode I feel like I’m taking a cumulative final where there’s so much information that I know I’m missing at least a few key things.

But possibly the most frustrating part of the show is in the intro when the glossed-up lip moves and the surrounding skin doesn’t move with it.

The first time I saw it I was all “YES, thank god that is not real skin,” because who wants to feel even worse about themselves? Now when I see it I feel like writing a personal letter to The CW demanding they get that ish locked down so I don’t have a spastic attack. 

Don’t even get me started on Aria’s outfits. I know each girl is supposed to have her own “style” and everything (yeah like they wouldn’t all dress exactly the same in real life) but there is no way a high school girl is confident enough to wear black and white striped skinny jeans. When I was in high school I felt uncomfortable if I put on eye shadow and these girls are strutting around in heels like they’ve actually more to do than get to home room in time and finish The Scarlett Letter. Aria has the most obnoxious style by a landslide—a deadly landslide. I’m not sure if the producers just want a more edgy look or are trying to make Goth more appealing but they need to slow their roll on the black-with-skulls-and-lace-and-five-inch-earrings-and-two-hundred-dollar-boots. One scene is enough to render the viewer blind. Maybe that’s how Jenna lost her sight.

The main point here is that a show has to have a top notch intro in order to stick it out—unless you’re SVU then you can repeat the same 90’s theme song complete with pictures for three decades and still be number uno in everyone’s hearts. DUHN DUHN, DUH DUH DUH DUH DUHN, DUUH DUUH DUH DUHN, DUH DUH DUH DUH DUUUH DUH DUHUHUHUHUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUUUH.
