LifeGivesUSigns · 06-12-2013, 02:45 PM

that's good

watching tonight

**BlondieLeigh** · 06-12-2013, 04:09 PM

Figured I should try this now.

I love Mona working with the liars, and their not trusting her (even though Hanna really wants to). ~~Friendly reminder that Mona knows how Spencer takes her coffee~~

It was nice to see Spencer relatively happy again, but Toby really doesn't understand her relationship with coffee and that needs to be sorted, tbh. No, Toby, that is not her last cup, she needs an unlimited supply.

It was great to see them sleuthing together, keeps it relevant.

Spencer going through Wilden's casket to get what A had left in it at the funeral though

I love that A gets them doing things they'll get in trouble for doing and they just keep going with it

^ MTE basically

I really enjoyed seeing Mona with the Liars & her coffin scene with Spencer

& the extremely large coffee she bought for Spencer

The Melissa thing is also interesting

and wtf Toby and Ali almost made out????

I loved it especially spoby breakfast scene so sweet!

COFFEE! Mona bought Spencer coffee. And that Spencer/Toby breakfast COFFEE SCENE. AHHHHHHHHHHH! The only real OTP of the show. Spencer/Coffee. (And Ezra's first scene was coffee. S/E MORE!)

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Love all the five-some scenes. I love how involved Mona is. I love her hacking. Nice to hear that Lucas gave the massage. She doesn't know about Ian. So my guess will continue to be Jason.

AHHHHHH. I CANNOT THINK STRAIGHT.

I love all the parallels to the pilot and other episodes.

THEY GOT MY HOPES UP WITH ARIA'S DAYDREAM. Because that shoulda been real. I LOVED IT! Golden.

I do love that everyone still loves Ezra. And I do hope that Aria tries to move on. She needs to try.

Emily/Paige. ADORABLE! And Stanford! (AHHHHH! I'm planning a Teen Wolf Stanford fic, so I am SOOOOOOO including them. ~~Because Jackson attracts all the gays/lesbians to him.~~)

Hanna/Mona. FOREVER. I WANT IT!

The Queen was Wilden/Melissa. WTF. WHY?!

And WHYYYYYYYY all the MELISSA MELISSA MELISSA?!?!

JENNA! I love that she went to Emily. More Em/Toby. More Emily/Jenna. And so Jenna/Shana is canon now? And Jenna/Toby. FOREVER! AHHHHHHHHHH! Be still my heart.

Mona said she got Toby when he took the job in Bucks County. He was in it before Mona got him. Either on Jenna's team or straight up with A. And HOLY CRAP! a) AHHHHHHH Jenna's room is Toby's old room. YOU GUYS DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. b) Alison/Toby. YES! MORE! GIMME MORE!!!!! And how old were they? Middle School babies. AHHHHHHHHHHH!

OMG, I can't think. I have no idea if I missed anything.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *flailing*

**BlondieLeigh** · 06-20-2013, 07:00 AM

Still a little annoyed that Ezra didn't really get arrested, tbh, I still think it's completely absurd that he's back at the school, even if I do want all the S/E

Mona gave us answers without giving us answers and I love that. She rushes through it all so she doesn't have to explain and we don't have a clue if she was telling the truth or not and this needs to continue!!!

***Artemis*** · 06-20-2013, 06:10 PM

Aria's dream was one of the BEST moments on the ENTIRE show. SO PISSED it wasn't real.

I'm glad she gave answers on some of the little things. Though no clue on who pushed Ian. My guess will always be Jason until they say otherwise. And them not saying who, but MENTIONING Mona doesn't know means it'll come up one day.

**BlondieLeigh** · 06-21-2013, 06:34 AM

It should have been real, it could have been interesting instead of typical non-drama.

I still think it was Jason who pushed Ian. Ian knew who pushed him, Jason was in town (something is said to imply he was, at least) and knew at that point that Spencer is his sister (didn't he say he came back because he found out about Peter?), and Spencer was telling everyone who would listen that Ian killed Ali. If Jason believed her, he could have followed Ian, saw him trying to kill another one of his sisters, and snapped. He wouldn't stick around to wait for Spencer to ask questions that it's not his place to answer. That, and I think Toby would be way too cliche.
