When I commit myself to a TV show, I don't just dedicate an hour every week to it. I obsess over it for hours at a time and usually on a daily basis, depending on how good the show is. Basically, I morph into some sort of a certified TV junkie, who possesses just as much patience as I do self control. And that's precisely why this Pretty Little Liars Season 6 hiatus is so excruciating for me (and the rest of the PLL-verse) to endure. Despite its many puzzling plot holes, this PLL five-year time jump has left viewers with several brand new questions. Who is Mr. Rollins? What have the Liars been up to all this time? And why is someone coming after Alison… again?
I mean, if you thought waiting for the Big A reveal was hard, that's nothing compared to what lies ahead of us now that the entire trajectory of the show is up in the air. It's a whole new Rosewood ballgame, folks, and I'm dying to see where it all leads. But without even so much as a Halloween episode to help quench our PLL thirst until the show's Season 6B debut in January, I fear I may be Radley-bound by the time this torturous wait is over. So to help ease my suffering, I've decided to round up some things that are actually way worse than waiting for PLL to return. Because, believe it or not, A isn't the only tormentor in this crazy little thing called life.
