Don't Stop Chasing Your Dreams

Going into it, I truly, deeply wanted A.D. to be Mona. I knew that the chances of that were low, not super low, but low enough. I knew that I. Marlene was going to throw a twist (the twist being the twin), so I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be Mona, but then I just didn’t know where to go from there.

The first hoodie reveal, I knew there was no way it was Melissa. I felt that her emotions after killing Bethany were real and that she wasn’t someone who could stoop so low for any sort of reason.

As you can imagine, the second hoodie reveal threw me for a loop and for a second, just a mere second, I was praising myself inside because I wanted it to be Mona. That literally lasted a second and then I realized that it’s way too early in the episode for it to be Mona. I wasn’t disappointed, but I was eager to see who A.D. really was.

I started to think back on the episode where “Spencer” was with Wren at the airport and I didn’t want to believe that Spencer had a twin, but I guess logically and genetically, after all the babies that Mary and Jessica had, there was bound to be a twin in there somewhere. That’s why I ended up relinquishing to the fact that Ali was a twin. That was a stupid thought of mine since Emison was Endgame and no matter how you look at it, Ali having a twin would ruin that relationship in a snap.

So...finally, before the big reveal, I figured it had to be Spencer’s twin.

My thoughts on that. I didn’t like it only because I didn’t want to think that there are people like that out in the world. I understand that Alex was basically thrown out like trash and Charlotte was the only one that made her feel loved (besides Wren) but for her to believe all that Charlotte told her, is something I don’t want to believe in. She hadn’t met the girls, Charlotte was crazy, and Spencer wasn’t the one who chose her adoptive parents. Why get revenge on someone who wasn’t in control of either of the twins lives?

Overall, I think I can understand why I. Marlene ended it the way she did. At first, I didn’t like how it ended because it says something to the continuation of bullying and revenge. But I think I. Marlene specifically wanted it like that. Her show was different and that’s what drew so many people to it. In real life, sometimes these things happen and the cycle doesn’t break unless someone speaks up. Emily tried to pass on her experience and knowledge of the situation to her students and tell them that they are able to make their own choices in life, but they decided not to listen and so continued the circle. I appreciated that so much because it’s reality and not everything can be unicorns and rainbows. 

!!!I’m going to support the theory that Alison has a twin. I don’t have any logistics to my theory but I’ll go with this. ~Bethany Young was actually Ali’s twin sister (probably named something else) somehow the two got separated and one of them ended up living in a different town ~One day Bethany travels to Rosewood and sees Ali and finds out that she has a better life than she ever did and commits herself to trading lives ~The Pilot episode is where Ali and Bethany meet and “trade” lives ~In a later season, Melissa confesses to killing Bethany, but she actually kills Ali and Bethany is living the role of Ali this whole time *Bethany’s reason to be hate the girls is that they were the ones who helped Ali become popular. Bethany would now be AD to avenge Charlotte’s death, thinking that the same girls who made Ali popular were now behind Charlotte’s death because of what Charlotte did to them. Charlotte was the only family Bethany knew who was in a similar situation, they both were basically discarded by their family. --Does that mean Emison is technically not endgame but it looks like it is?

Maybe I’m half not supporting this theory because I like Paily but I think that was too obvious of a clue for Marlene to give. For pll viewers to say that it was Paige based on her hair color and her new do means very little. (Side note: I don’t like how all the articles online are suggesting that viewers “missed this huge clue.” Clearly they don’t know the PLL audience.)

1. It could mean that Paige is helping A.D. No one said that that the person handing the book of braile to Jenna was A.D.

2. “Red” is very subjective as a color description for that hair color. It’s highly likely that the light in that dark scene had a red tinge to begin with. That light shows that even Jenna’s hair was red. EDIT: That could even be Ashley Marin with a haircut.

3. Marlene said that the reveal of A.D. and the why story would be emotional because most, if not all people, would be able to relate to that feeling, and to be honest, that is very vague. I can relate with almost every main and frequently shown character on this show. I can definitely relate to Paige but for her to have a grudge on seemingly everyone is a bit much.

and things to consider. 

1. I don’t want Spencer to have a twin. That would mean that there is another “Spencer” out there. Meaning that there is another person who looks exactly like her and who is just as smart and even though that is a possibility, the probability of that is really low. However, Marlene has come up with some crazy ideas this whole time, so who knows?

2. The idea that Maya is still alive lurks. I just replied to someone in my last post about how I think all people who were said to have died are truly dead, including Maya. I was reading up on a list of tweets that Marlene wrote responding to a fan about if we would see Maya again, she said we may meet a relative of Maya’s. If that’s the case, my first instinct was Lorenzo, but he showed up before that tweet came out...

I’m rewatching again from 6x11 because that’s what Marlene suggests. At this point, after watching 6x11 and 6x12, my theory still stands.

I’ll try to make this as short as possible.

FYI: My original thought on who AD was before 7B started was Mona.

Points numbered, in no particular order: 1. It is clear that Jenna is working for AD. Noel and Lucas too. Keyword: FOR - Jenna will never forgive the girls for what they’ve done and that’s why she was all for the “Endgame” game idea. There’s no doubt in my mind that she is fully blind, just to state my opinion, and that she has no idea who she’s working for/who AD is. - And it is blatantly clear that Noel was working for AD as well. - I can also get on the wagon that Lucas is part of that team solely because he created the game using the phone, but I want to know why he’s helping hurt all the girls.

2. Endgame Pairings (not important but something I care about) - Spoby: Not gonna lie, I don’t care if Spoby happens but I feel that if Spencer ends up with anyone, it should be Toby. - Haleb: Clearly there’s no breaking them apart anymore. - Ezria: Sorry Nicole but I was rooting for Ezria from the start of the series. - Paily: I really, truly want this to be endgame but if this show is looking for happy endings, and all five girls need to be in some sort of relationship, then I have a feeling Marlene is going to make Emison endgame. :( My hate for Emison comes from the fact that Emily doesn’t deserve Ali’s ways. Who cares if you hate Paige that much, you’re making the girl you love feel like shit, you’re a bitch in my book.

3. Mona - Like thebestplltheories said, there’s no reason for Hanna to have had that whole fashion ordeal with Mona if nothing was going to come out of that. There’s AD to think about and you want Hanna to focus on her fashion? I get that Caleb is encouraging her to think about other things but that’s just.. No. I want Mona to turn out good but it’s still not looking good for that one. If Mona really is AD, I can see why Lucas is involved. Mona be scary.

I just really wanted to share about how walking a mile in someone else’s shoes, really lets you see their perspective.

Yesterday I gave my coworker a note of appreciation because I had to fill in for her while she was away on vacation. In my card to her, I was basically telling her how grateful I was for all the work that she does in the office. She actually does a lot more than everyone realizes, and I didn’t know that until I had to do all the things that she does while she was out. I mean, there was another coworker to help me, but help she did not.

Maybe it seems like that, but it doesn’t help that you’re spending all your money eating out all the time and not budgeting or even attempting to live below your means to save money.

This was coming from a woman who was given the opportunity to work with a multimillionaire who was willing to help her build an asset so that she wouldn’t have to work any longer and eventually be able to pay off all the debt that she has accumulated by sending her daughter to college.

The movie is set in Texas where we immediately learn that an annual event known as The Thinning, occurs with students from first to twelfth grade. These students take a test to, essentially, weed out the dumb from the smart to create their “utopian” world. For a movie at that length, it moved pretty quickly while still following the plot. There was enough action and steadiness to the whole thing that kept it likeable. But there were not enough twists and turns to make the outcome a guessing game.  The end, for me, was a disconnect. Unless they plan on making a sequel, there should have been an explanation for the way they ended the movie. There was just too much to be left to the imagination for that to be the end.

For my job I have to take phone calls and take the person’s first and last name. Today this is how my conversation went. Me: Can I get your last name sir? Man: (immediately starts spelling it) Delta, Echo, Larynx... Me (stopped listening after Larynx because I was wondering why he said “Larynx.”): Oh, I’m sorry. Can you repeat that? Man: Delta, Echo, Larynx, Echo, Robert, Echo

These particular people just really have nothing else in their lives. Yeah, maybe they have families and pets or whatever, but the main common thing that I’ve found about these people are just that they have no lives outside of work.

The most recent one that I’m talking about just only talks about the shows that she watches on TV. She has no other hobbies like say crafts or exercise whatsoever. She comes in every day and just starts talking about the TV show that she saw the night before. I get that TV takes over your life but maybe that’s where you’re learning how to just gossip and talk about others in such a negative way.

I’m not saying that I’m better than the next person, but I have a hobby that I can fall on to either relieve stress or just exercise. My mind and life has something other than work and other than television shows to live vicariously through so I don’t have time to talk crap about other people.

Why can’t people just mind their own business and work on themselves instead of beating down on others?

(in no particular order)

1. Spencer - someone mentioned that based on the last episode, we are able to narrow down A.D. to be Mona. Just because she wasn’t in the house doesn’t mean she is A.D. Spencer still could’ve planned all of it. Think about it, if Jenna is really blind, who’s to say that Spencer didn’t purposely get shot? She didn’t know exactly where she would get hit, but maybe that was the plan. It’s possible she got shot so it’s impossible for her to be traced as A.D. I am not saying that I believe Spencer to be A.D.

2. Jenna - The fact that it can never be proven that she truly is blind is a huge factor. Her anger towards the girls for the loss of her sight is something I wouldn’t take lightly. She also still has her pawns lurking about.

3. Mona - I can’t explain to you the exact reasons why Mona might still want revenge against the girls, maybe it’s because they just disregard her intelligence and her want to be included so much, but she is a force to be reckoned with.

4. Charlotte - The word “dead” really means nothing on this show. Unless you’re like Noel *spoiler* where your head is rolling about and being nudged by a “blind” girl’s foot or hit by a car then buried and then dug up with maggots crawling on your face, “dead” is just a word that ignorant people toss around when they’re guessing if someone’s dead. Truly horrifying if you think about it. But Charlotte was just covered by a tarp, so yeah, she’s dead...

All the things I’ve been pondering as I think about who AD is.

As the show went on, we found out that there was another A running the show, aka Charles. By the early part of Season 5, I had figured out that Cece was A. I have a cousin whom I see every Sunday and who also watches the show. I wore the shirt to dinner once and my cousin asked me who I thought A was, and I said, “Cece Drake,” with great conviction. She didn’t believe me at the time but she was very surprised when she found out I had got it right.

As of ten minutes ago, I had just finished the finale of 7A. Prior to this episode, I had a hunch as to who AD was. I believe it’s still too early to be 100% sure, but my confidence went from 60% to about 89% thanks to “The DArkest Knight.” I’m sure I’ll be wearing my shirt again around the first two weeks of 7B’s premiere. I can’t wait!
