Pretty Little Liars 4.20-4.24
-Well, we got a fair number of answers in the finale. There were quite a few that we didn't. but there were more straight answers than I was expecting.
-IS HE REALLY DEAD?? CAN IT BE TRUE? DARE I HOPE? (Why couldn't he take Toby with him? Maybe Melissa secretly killed him in London.)
-Jason! Melissa! Noel! The characters I've been missing for ages! Even though they all came back to be made 10x as suspicious. Well, less so Melissa. I'm curious as to whether or not she really knows something, or if she just came up with a plan to help Spencer because she looked pretty guilty there.
-I almost went into shock when an adult male in this show reacted properly to a teenaged girl's crush instead of going into full pedo mode. Granted, I'm not sure if Officer I-Forget-His-Name was reacting to it being in public or having a genuine "OMG what signals did I give there this is bad!" moment. I tend to lean towards the latter, though I do think he has more of an interest in Hanna than is strictly appropriate, but probably more out of guilt than anything else. Unless, you know, he's the next Suspicious Candidate.
-Ezra, dude, if you don't want your girlfriend to freak out thinking you're a killer, maybe you shouldn't chase her through the woods at night and then trap her with you on a ski lift 50 feet in the air. Well, it getting stuck probably wasn't actually his fault, but still. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF HE LEARNED HIS LESSON, BECAUSE HE IS HOPEFULLY DEAD. FOREVER. NO BACKSIES.
-I'm glad the writers finally realized they had Miss Parker on speeddial and started using Andrea Parker's death glares. I'm not pleased that she's apparently dead now.
-Part of me is a bit sad that Emily and Paige are probably over forever now. The other part is busy observing that it's probably for the best as Paige isn't as over her earlier controlling tendencies as I had hoped she was for the last season and a half, and that's not something Emily needs. (All of me is observing that Toby is way worse about it than Paige, not to mentioned infinitely more emotionally abusive and manipulative than Paige could dream of being, but he'll never get called on it, much less get dumped for it.)
-Just when I was string to like Hanna's new boyfriend, Ravenswood gets cancelled and Caleb's coming back. Which would have made me giddy, save that I'm annoyed with him over the breakup.
-The handling of ADHD meds and what they do and don't do and their legal availability remained horrendous. Enough so that I had to mostly tune it out, meaning I couldn't properly appreciate the otherwise interesting "Did I kill someone and not remember it?" plotline. TBH, between that and the plotline about Toby's mother, I had a hard time connecting with Spencer's plots this season, aside from the bits that focused on her and Emily.
