A warning that my posts may contain spoilers for FIRST time watchers!!

I'm going to be sharing my original thoughts during the first time watching this when I was 17, and my current thoughts rewatching at 30. Some things have changed a lot for over the years lol

I'd also like to add that I may talk about characters being attractive or whatever, but I'm most likely talking about the ACTORS. **For example, Ezra, when I first watched PLL I fell in love with him. Of course, now things have changed with how I feel about the character, but I still find the actor, Ian Harding, incredibly attractive. So if it seems like I'm complimenting Ezra in my current thoughts, I'm talking about Ian.

The Barn Scene:

Right off the bat, the song, DONTTRUSTME by 3OH!3 throws so much nostalgia in my face!! I loved that song so much when it came out!!

Do they really only have the one glass of alcohol they're passing around? Why not a whole bottle?

I know the girls seem really cringy a lot of times but really, that's how a lot of teens are lol so cringe. I definitely was!

First Watch: Hmm. What was Spencer doing awake first??

Rewatch: My poor baby Spencer! :(

Present time, Aria moved back:

I fell in love with Aria's style right away! And her storyline with the secret between her and her dad, Bryon, got me hooked for sure.

Even now, I find it hard to see a teen girl going into a bar alone and ordering food. Unless it's more of a bar and grill?? I'm not sure.

First watch: Ezra is so cute! Just a regular guy thinking he found a cute girl his age. He seems so sweet.

Rewatch: OMG noooo Aria! RED FLAG! He even mentioned writing a BOOK!! OMG!

DANG girl! Aria, you used to just kissing guys who you JUST MET???

Hanna, Mona, and Spencer at the Mall:

I did not like Hanna, Spencer, and Mona at all at in this scene. They seemed so bitchy and snobby. I could not relate to them at all at 17. Now I see awkwardness between Hanna and Spencer, they used to be so close and now they're not. I get that now whenever I run into people I went to school with lol still think Mona is a bitch.

First Watch: OMG Hanna is going to get caught! I can't watch! Rewatch: OMG Hanna your mom is going to hook up with that pervy detective now! I mean I'm not blaming you but damn it's going to suck for you!

Back to School with Aria:

Bryon and Aria are so tense in their scenes together talking about his stupid affair. With a student... I don't fail to see the irony. I actually love how that is written.

I love Emily and Aria's friendship. And I totally get falling out of touch with people.

Oh no... the new teacher... LMAO

Yuck, how Hanna and Mona walk into the classroom. Aria is shocked lol

First Watch: NO FUCKING WAY!! THE GUY FROM THE BAR IS HER TEACHER!! THATS HOT!

Rewatch: EW... OOOH OMG! Mona is at her desk kinda looking away and down like she's discreetly TEXTING under her desk! OHOHOHO!

Emily's House:

OMG I still hate Emily's mom, Pam. At least in the early parts of the show.

Not going to lie I almost forgot about Maya lol I wish her character lasted longer. Just meeting someone and hanging out in their room is wild to me now lol but at 17, totally normal lol but still a little awkward at first.

Spencer's House:

I HATE MELISSA SO MUCH!! ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL!! This is when I started liking Spencer, I felt so bad for her. She's such a hard worker.

First Watch: Oooh who is the hot British guy?? He deserves someone better than bitch Melissa. He's seems so sweet with Spencer. They should get together.

Rewatch: UGH, Wren is still so cute but... UGH I can't remember how exactly he ties into everything with the endgame. But now realizing that he's older and with Spencer's sister, he turned into a creeper.

Aria and Ezra alone in classroom:

First Watch: OMG Aria and Mr. Fitz is so sad. They like each other but can't be together!

Rewatch: Ezra should have stuck with saying he can't be involved with her, wtf!?!

Emily and Maya kiss:

First Watch: Aww, Emily and Maya are cute together. I don't get why Emily can't just come out and tell people.

Rewatch: This is so sad. I know why Emily doesn't want anyone to know, but still.

Spencer's house:

First Watch: I would love a hot British guy to rub my shoulders. So jealous.

Rewatch: I mean I would still love that, but not as a minor with an older guy who is dating and having sex with my older sister!! Get away from her Wren!

Bryon and Ella:

Like, IDK how Ella didn't just stop Bryon right there and ask him WTF is going on. He's acting so suspicious!

Spencer's room:

God I feel so bad for Spencer. I would have been so PISSED with someone moving into my space that I made! I wouldn't have been surprised if she just set the damn thing on fire lmao. WHO THE HELL DID SPENCER SEE IN ALSON'S BEDROOM WINDOW?? I STILL DON'T KNOW!!

FLASHBACKS:

ALI is such a bitch, how were the girls friends with her to begin with?? WTF!

Hanna's House:

OMG that detective is such a perv. He knew walking up to Hanna's door what was going to happen with Ashley making a deal,or at least hoped for it. That pervy grin he has walking inside... I forget exactly what the detective's connections are with Alison and A and everything... but he's sus.

I feel bad for Hanna, I had problems with my body and weight as a teen too... You don't need your father Hanna!! He's a little bitch.

OMG EWW the detective making out with Ashley right in front of Hanna, GROSS that Ashley knows Hanna is right there... WTF

Finding Alison's Body... This song… Suggestions by Orella Has Orchestra. It hits me RIGHT in the feels!!

LOL the recasting of some of the characters seen at the funeral.

First Watch: OMG Ezra and Aria are so cute! He stops her and they kiss again! Maybe things will work out.

Rewatch: Aria, STEP AWAY from Ezra!!!... EZRA!!! STOP!! POLICE!

"Popular in life and death." I love Spencer Quotes lol

OOOH the phone text notification!!

I'm still here bitches!!!

Geezus. This shit is getting good. This 🅰️ is really sick and cutting DEEP. Tabby and Imogen being the ones who were raped was calculated. This rapist isn’t terrorizing ALL high school girls.

Imogen is the daughter of Davie. Davie was the leader who made the decision to ignore Angela after she’d been raped and needed help.

Tabby is the daughter of Sidney. Sidney made the decision to turn away from Angela, even as she begged for help on her hands and knees.

Imogen and Tabby were raped for the sins of their mothers. 🅰️ wants the mothers to have to deal with the burden and trauma of knowing their daughters were violated and no one helped them either. Like Angela…

KAREN died for more than one reason. The main one being, because she’s the daughter of Sheriff Beasley. Sheriff Beasley raped Angela. Ultimately, she killed herself, because of what HE did to her.

I initially thought Karen died, because she was a bully and 🅰️ hates bullies. That was only the surface though. The deeper reason was because of who her father is.

🅰️ manipulated Kelly and that’s what has added to her sorrow. 🅰️ is the one who suggested the Carrie scenario. 🅰️ wanted to be certain to get Karen up on that level. He needed Karen to die the same way as Angela. Symbolism.

Now, Sheriff Beasley has to deal with the agony of knowing his daughter died in the exact same way as his rape victim.

Kelly thinks 🅰️ has been helping her and has her best interest. That’s why he switched up his appearance when threatening her in the theater. If she were really Kelly he didn’t want to risk losing her trust and loyalty to 🅰️.

Are you guys keeping up?? It’s getting wild. 😭 This 🅰️ has the strategic planning capabilities of a fucking General Officer in the military.

Kelly is this season’s Mona. Mona was manipulated by CeCe/Ali. Remember the famous, “I did everything you asked me to”…?

It’s possible that this mystery, 6th “A. Waters” was pregnant by her rapist, Sheriff Beasley. I just know he’s related to the twins by blood in some way. Uncle/cousin/sibling…something.

If the 6th “A. Waters” was pregnant, that means her child would be 5-6 years older than the girls. Born some time in 2000. 😳 The only person around them who fits that age bracket, is Wes.

🅰️ showing up while Wes is in the car with Tabby, is meant to throw us off. He can’t be in 2 places at once, right? Sure, but we already know there’s more than one person in play. An “🅰️ team.”

We haven’t heard much about Chip and Wes’ background. I bet they’re brothers, but obviously with different fathers. Our mystery “A. Waters” may have given Wes up for adoption and he found his way to Millwood once he got older.

Chip may not even be aware of who Wes really is. And now I think Chip is another red herring…last night, I was convinced he was probably the rapist, but nah.

Tabby is going to find a way to use the donated blood to find out who hurt her and Imogen. She’s going to convince Chip to donate with them. She ALWAYS convinces Chip to join in her shenanigans.

They’re going to get a familial DNA hit. They’ll see Imogen’s baby is related by blood to Chip, but he’s not the father. NIPP can be done after 8 weeks of pregnancy. It’s a non-invasive prenatal paternity procedure.

Chip will be just as shocked as them to find out he’s related to Imogen’s child.

Wes is into horror films. It makes sense that he would choose a Carrie scenario for Karen’s demise. In this scene, he told us he was doing “research.” He basically looked us dead in our faces and said, “I’m 🅰️.” 😭

His “research” was for creative, horrific ideas in how to torture the girls and their moms. Lastly, Tyler died for fucking with Tabby. We all know Wes is obsessed with her.

Nolan and Taylor are the new Alison (and her twin Courtney we never got in the show)

Taylor faked her death which we already know bc of unknown reasons. She might be the person spying on the Perfectionists through the Beacon Heights security system.

The missing girl Taylor kind of looks like Alison (AGAIN) just like Cece, Bethany, Sara Harvey did. 

Nolan was manipulative and made everyone do whatever he wants. He made out with everyone (Dylan, Caitlin, Ava) just like Alison did. 

Ava is the new Hanna. She’s that pretty socialite with that perfect life but she has family issues & hides things from the public. She seems superficial in the beginning but she has deep feelings and problems. 

Caitlin is the new Emily/Spencer cross over. She is super smart & sporty at the same time. She has a secret boyfriend while she was dating Nolan. Kind of reminds me of Spencer since she had a lot of flings with lots of people. I cannot really say a lot about Caitlin yet cause her character is not that evolved in the show yet. 

Dylan is the new Aria. He is an artsy guy with a stable (kinda boring) relationship. Reminds me of Aria and Ezra a lot. 

Jeremy (Australian dude) is Wren Kingston. He is this guy a main character has an affair with/ is in love with him. His story is not really there yet. 

The person behind the Beacon Heights Security system is the new A and the big mystery is who is behind that system. 

Mona’s involvement with the BG Security System makes us think that Mona is it in somehow. She lured Alison to Beacon Heights. 

So far I like the show but it is not PLL Season 1-3 level. I’m waiting for more secrets and the characters to evolve more. I want a major suspect in the show, that’s kind of missing right now. 

PLL series finale theory *this is considering that it was confirmed there would be a 1 year time jump between 7x19 and 7x20
