Thoughts on PLL:Five Years Later

Pretty Little Liars is one of the few shows I’ve diligently
watched from the start of Season one up to this point and still haven’t given
up on it like a lot of other shows. It had a much awaited five year leap from
where they left us in Season 6 mid-season finale and came back on air a couple
of weeks ago. I meant to write a post about it before but I thought I’d wait,
because their first episode back wasn’t very clear as to what direction this
show was taking or how the characters had evolved. Now that I’ve watched this
week’s episode and I’ve got a grip on what’s going on and what the girls have
been up to, here are some thoughts I’ve been gushing over from the last few
episodes. (If you haven’t already caught up with the show, I would recommend
bookmarking this and coming back later so we can have a chat)
1.Hannah has a rock on her finger and we’ve known this a long
time since abcfamily announced it but I wasn’t expecting a seriously hot man
with an accent different from hers and who is also the definition of perfect.
To be fair, she always had expensive taste.
2.Spencer has bangs and when I saw her in the promo for the
five year leap, I hated it. Now I feel like I’m getting accustomed to them and
they might just look really chic with her vintage style. Also, I found this chic picture of her in an Audrey inspired hairstyle.(How cute is it?)
3.There might just be some Ezria sparks still flying in the
air although she has the cutest nerd man back in Cambridge. I am quite hopeful
about the duo getting back together eventually. They were the ‘rock’ couple of
the show.
4.The girls are still carrying a lot of secrets and Alison has
really less screen time even after her sister dying. We can barely get a good
look at her hubby and that just doesn’t seem like who Alison used to be. She
was the one who would be showing off her man every second she could.
5.I really hope Mona and Sara Harvey have nothing to do with
the new A team. We need a new mystery and some more drama. I’m thinking more on
the lines of suspicious Mr Rollins.
6.Melissa is back in town and that almost always means there’s
going to be some bad news.
7.It is still unsettling for me to think that Spencer would be
the one to break The Universal Girl Code and the fact that Hannah looks very uncomfortable about it.
8.The New A is definitely a hipster. He/She has a Crosley
Record Player and that’s enough reason for me to believe that their setup is
Instagrammable.
9.Mona is back to her Season one sassy self when she has the
scene with Caleb (Who kisses better?
Hannah, Spencer or me?) which I quite like more than the drugged and crazy
Mona.
(Updated after the Season Finale)
10. The little Haleb moment right when we were warming up to the idea of Caleb and Spencer was so shocking. I was taken aback to be honest.
11. Well, I guessed one thing right, Mr Rollins isn't what he seems like and poor Allison. I actually feel bad for her because she has truly become a good person now. Also, How many lovers did Cece have?
12. Someone I wasn't expecting to show up on this season is Allison's mom but she also goes by the name of Cece's birth mom? What is going on! There are a lot of twin theories floating on the internet but I don't if the writers of the show would be going that way or no. They always seem to take an unexpected turn. I'm also thinking a personality disorder.

Are you all caught up with Pretty Little Liars Season 6?
What did you think of them?
TV Shows that got cancelled too soon

This one’s a little tribute all the lovely shows I started
watching one fine day, developed an interest and what do you know? A few
seasons later it has been cancelled with no reason and explanation. The show
comes abruptly to an end with no explanation whatsoever leaving burning
questions on my mind. Did my favourite character ever decide to go back home?
Did they have more kids? and the likes. Some hearts are shattered, some tears
are shed(as they make their parting episode extra emotional) and then we
literally move onto the next because of the emptiness every Tuesday night. Some
of these shows are easily forgotten and not heard of again(not even reruns?).This
list spans over a couple of years so it starts from back when I was only 15 to
the current year.
#1 Hart of Dixie –
This one goes first on the list because the
setting was perfect and the happiest, fuzziest thing to me. It was a show set
in a country town ( Southern U.S.A) called Bluebell where everyone had the best
country style honestly and their accents were to die for. The ladies were
primed, perfect and poised and the men so hot and the strong kind who can
possibly rodeo for real( or at least look like they do). They always had so
many festivals and events and those people sure took their town seriously and
it was the sweetest community I’ve ever seen on a show. They did have their
ocassional funny punches and of course, Rachel Bilson’s outfits were to die
for, who is actually a doctor on the show and comes to Bluebell from New York
and stands out from everyone else. It has been cancelled after four seasons but honestly
I’d re-watch them only for it’s cheesy and perfect at it.
#2 Bunheads –
This one was
shocker because it had one of
those abrupt endings and it seemed like
the writers weren’t expecting it to be cancelled and bam, it disappears with no
clear goodbye said. This one only ran for one season which breaks my heart
because I think it had the potential to be a good show in the future. This one
was based around a Las Vegas performer(Sutton Foster) who marries a guy while
she is drunk, who in turn introduces her to his mother, a very famous ballet
dancer in the past who runs a little ballet training class. She expresses her
old love for ballet and becomes a mentor for all the little ballet-loving,
inspiring high school girls of the town and their relationship develop into a
sweet and loving one. They also throw in some great ballet performances and
it’s sad to know that we never really come to know exactly how Michelle’s life
turned out.
