I recently discovered that when you google, " Pretty Little Liars answered questions," Google asks if you meant "unanswered questions," and that's basically all you need to know about this show. It will always leave you more confused than you were before watching. Even the Pretty Little Liars Season 6 premiere left us with more questions, despite the tagline for this season promising a #SummerOfAnswers. So far, it is actually more like the #SummerOfInsanity and the #SummerOfAMillionMoreQuestionsSorryNotSorry.
I love I. Marlene King, but she needs to throw us a bone, man. After years of waiting to find out who Big A was, we were left even more confused in the Season 5 finale when we learned that A is a mysterious person named Charles. Now, after the first episode of the new season, I'm not just wondering who is Charles? I'm also wondering where is Charles? And why does Charles hate Ali so much? And what did Charles to do the girls in that room? And how does Charles afford a million ugly yellow tank tops?
But the show needs to explain a lot more than just everything about Charles DiLaurentis. After the first hour of the new Pretty Little Liars season, we were also left asking these 97 questions, and would like the answers ASAP, please. 'K thanks bye.
