WARNING : SPOILERS AHEAD (Obviously)
From the sounds of a few of you on Twitter.... you've been waiting for this post from me haha! I had thought about writing a post as soon as the episode aired but then thought if I started I writing I may never stop and as time goes on I have had even more thoughts and questions to get through so I've sat down today to let it all out!
8am Wednesday morning marked the end of a 5 year question I've had buzzing around in my brain.
Who the bloody hell is 'A' and why are they doing this?!
I've been watching PLL (Pretty Little Liars) since it started in 2010 and have become, how can I say it... a tad obsessed... ever since! (As you my have noticed on Twitter...#sorrynotsorry)
So I'm going to go through my thoughts about the BIG A reveal, my predictions and if they were right, my honest opinion and a 'few' questions I still have playing on my mind!
My Predictions
All I can say is..... I was right!!! For months now I have been saying I think Cece is A and... hello - I was right! Here's a little proof....
And.... I knew that Sara Harvey was trouble - I thought maybe she was Bethany but I did have an inkling she'd be red coat! As soon as she said "I'm calling Tanner" I knew she was on the A team!
Obviously I did have Wildern and Wren at the back of my mind... like everyone else and I did think Melissa would maybe have something to do with it or someone may have had a sneaky twin but you never know... we still have a season and a half to go!
My Reaction
So, when I first watched the episode there was a lot of "I knew it" "huh?" "what?" "really?"'s coming out of my mouth and going round in my head!
Yes! I had gotten it right Cece was A.... but Sara as Red Coat AND Black Widow?! Bethany IS actually dead... Mona had been the one to hit her AND she was the one who pushed Marion.
I mean... it was a lot to take in and some things just didn't sit right with me (but we'll get to that in a minute)!
Things that did make me laugh....
That crazy screen the girls watched everything on - what is this? Star Trek?!
Cece is cray. "But did you die?" - I couldn't stop laughing at this! Seriously girl - WHY are you doing this?!
Mona's awesome one liner - "Aria maybe you thought Clark was always happy to see you but I couldn't get past the buldge in his pants"
THAT DAMN WINDOW SCREEN! Cece watching the girls through the window.... but really just watching a scene from Season 3? on a screen - hahahahaa! Great attempt guys!
Emily punching Sara - YOU GO GIRL!
The girls saying bye to each other obviously got me all chocked up - Spencer saying "Hanna Banana" - ALL THE FEELS and no matter how I feel about the finale the flash forward has got me SO excited for January!!!
I literally couldn't stop thinking about the episode all day... and that was the problem... the more I thought about it the more I thought - wait a minute? Really?! That doesn't even make sense!
I'm not mad that Cece is A - I mean I had guessed it already but it's just everything else inbetween that's got me a little - confused/frustrated/stressed. Do I take this show too seriously? 100%. Yes.
After Thoughts
You might need a cup of tea to get through the next 2 sections as I may ramble on for a bit!
Now it's been 3 days since I watched the finale and I have been thinking about it a hell of a lot - reading tweets, tumblr, thinking about previous episodes and THERE ARE SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!
I just WISH I had been more shocked/surprised and blown away!
It made me feel a little bit 'meh' - maybe because I had already thought it? But I just feel like if I was more tense and surprised by previous finales e.g. the dollhouse and the Ezra reveal!
I love PLL, I love Marlene but I can't help but think that this wasn't always the plan - I mean maybe it was, but so much doesn't add up and there's been some incredible clues throughout the show which aren't anything to do with anything - so why have them!?
Questions I NEED Answered!
WHAT was Sept 7th all about?! Sara knew the passcode for the Carissimi group - but why was it September 7th?
Cece was 12 when Marion died. This makes no sense with the timeline we have already seen on the show. Toby tells Emily in season 1 or 2 that his Mum passed away 'a year ago last week'. Literally makes NO sense, it wasn't a flashback it was a real scene so there's no talking their way out of that one!
WHAT does Bethany have to do with it all?! Jessica took her horse riding, she wrote letters to Alison (did they know each other?) and she had drawn all those photos of Mrs. D. etc - why was she such a big storyline if she is no-one?
If Cece loved Ali WHY did she want to torture her?!
Where the eff did Sara Harvey come from? Why was she so eager to help Cece if she didn't even know the girls?!
How old was Wildern? He was a policeman already when Marion died? aka when Cece was 12.
Who killed Mrs. D? This one is seriously bugging me! And WHY did Cece text Ali bragging about burying her mum if she was so upset about it?
Why were Radley not looking for Cece?! If a patient had escaped a mental institution you think someone at least would be informed right?
If Ali could hear Mrs. D. talking when burying her then why couldn't she hear Cece?
WHY did Cece want to create a prom that she never went too in the dollhouse? A prom that she was prom 'king' when she's been fighting to be a female her whole life.
Why did Sara have to dress as Black Widow if no-one knew her?
If the Doctors at Radley knew she was Cece then why did she have a visitors pass made for her by Wren? She went in her dressing gown from her room to Mona's - it doesn't make sense.
In the end scenes the girls say "What happened to Sara that night wasn't our fault" - WHAT happened?!
What happened to Cece after she came down from the roof?
Is anyone going to tell Mona that she didn't actually kill Bethany and Melissa did when she buried her alive?
What was Noel Kahn's secret?
We've been told that 'A' is in the pilot.... can somewhere tell me when/where Charles/Cece is in that episode please.
Was the N.A.T. club anything more than what we've seen?
How did Jason see Melissa and Cece talking that night if Cece wasn't there in the yellow top?
What did Aria whisper to Mona in the cinema that time?
What happened to Tippi the bird?
Who drugged Emily and took her to the cemetery?
Was it Cece at Aunt Carol's house? That was never mentioned or addressed!
Where did the boys go?! They were all at prom together and then... nothing!
Why did Cece want to kidnap Mona and make her into Alison?
What did the little girl in Radley have to do with the story?
Why/How did Eddie Lamb recognise Aria?
Why has no-one else ever mentioned Iceland? Only Aria has ever said they went to Iceland.
Who were the twins hinted at this whole time?
If Cece was in Radley whilst at college - how did she has a room mate?
And... how was Cece prom queen if she never went to prom?
How are Mr. D and Jason doing? (Jason is probably scarred for life after dating his brother....)
Mona 'didn't' know about Charles.... but the anagrams of his name were found in her room?
How does the Radley prank even make sense? Radley wouldn't have thought Cece was Alison but they KNOW Cece!?
Why did Cece dress as red coat to 'help' Ali if she was 'A'?
Why was Melissa helping Jenna and Shana?
HOW AND WHY did a mental hospital let their patients out on the roof?!
Radley knew Cece had escaped Radley that night... did they not think maybe she had something to do with her sister's diaperance?
If Mona thought she had hit Alison wasn't she surprised to see her walkng along the side of the road?
How did Noel know Ali was alive?
And I think the number one question on everybody's lips - HOW did the mum's get out of the cellar?!
(If I think of anymore I'll add them as and when!)
See ya in January PLL lovers!
