Pretty Little Liars- What Lies Beneath

A revelation of the night Maya died, through surveillance camera is what lies beneath!
With many characters having an alibi for the night Maya was murdered, it becomes harder to figure out who A is. At the time Maya was murdered, Garett was getting arrested at the Hasting's house. This means that he didn't kill Maya, neither did Spencer, Aria, Hannah, Emily, or Melissa. After today, we realize that Noel and Jenna also didn't kill Maya. They entered the cabin house and right after Maya was seen sneaking out and getting kidnapped. This leads me to believe, that as suspicious as Jenna and Noel Kahn are, they are also being tormented by A. They aren't against the liars, they are scared of the same thing. This leaves a lot of others with no alibi though. Where was Toby or Caleb at that precise moment? As well as Lucas, Ezra, and most importantly Paige. After watching today's episode, I have seen a new character in Paige, that almost had me convinced she was A. I guess we must wait two more weeks to see who betrays us all.
A seems to be very familiar with the Kahn residence though. As Emily and Hannah found the bravery and went to snoop around the cabin, they were locked in by A, who left them a creepy message. "I'm saving you for last." What does that even mean?? Is A's agenda to kill off everyone until he kills the liars?? Who could be so determined and evil?? And why is Noel Kahn actually helping Spencer? He seems to be trying to avoid and scare her off and after he caught her snooping around he sends her a piece of evidence that is exactly what they were looking for. Sure it gets Noel and Jenna off the suspicion list but why???

It seems that although so much is going on in Rosewood, no one (besides Hannah) can keep their lips to themselves. Aria's mother has taken on a whole new personality after she became "serious" with her much younger and very sexy boyfriend. It is a nice change to see her get wooed, instead of depressed because her husband is an asshole. Emily seems to be a little confused as she is seen making out with Maya's cousin (a boy) and contemplating actually liking it. Although she doesn't know Paige saw this happen, there is definitely trouble in paradise ahead. I don't know how I would feel making out with my dead ex's cousin. Plus, he's really suspicious and I don't think trustworthy at all. Hannah stays strong fighting off Ren after he has helped her bleeding wound, but that sexual tension is definitely in the room. You love Caleb remember hunny! And all thing relationship, Aria and Ezra are not doing so well. While Aria decided to stay mad that Ezra did not tell her about his past, he has begun to distance himself. When she questioned if he ever tried finding Maggie he said that it was impossible. So conveniently he ended up finding her at the end of the episode. This clearly means more trouble. Maggie was a girlfriend he never stopped having feelings for. If he calls her up again, she might just interfere and push Aria to the side. 

Lastly, where did Maya want to meet Emily the night she died and what did she want to show her? Clearly, from the footage Maya was being haunted by someone as she keeps looking around very paranoid. She also mentioned that someone took her phone. Someone knew where she was staying and they made sure she never got out of Rosewood. But who? What did Maya know that got her killed? What is this A game!?!? Everytime we begin to think that we have another clue to a potential A, they turn out to be someone who is just as afraid of A as the liars.

Pretty Little Liars- The Kahn Game

Truth or dare, I pick dare cause no one really tells the truth around here. People have to many secrets to hide in this show and each question could be answered with another questions. That's exactly what this  weeks episode did-- it raised enough questions to keep fans busy till next week. Sadly, it seems that the only person without an actual storyline is Emily. It seems like even A gave up on trying to screw with her. My predictions for the following episodes is that the liars along with all their boyfriends will form an anti-A army. Caleb and Toby seem to be getting hot on the A trail, so its just a matter of time before Ren and Ezra jump on as well. But lets not waste any more time. Let's talk about some of the key points in this episode.

First off, Caleb isn't A! Stupid promo's that always mislead us into thinking something is going to happen when it really isn't. Instead, Caleb has figured out that the reason Hannah has been acting so weird is because although Mona is locked up, there is still someone torturing her. Even though she wants to protect him from the dangers of A, he want's to help put an end to this once and for all. I just don't think Caleb has ever really realized how messed up the A problem really is. A is trying really hard to frame Hannah and put her behind bars, but why?? With the spoiler promo's indicating that one person will betray them all in the finale on August 28, I can't help but get a gut feeling that it will be Caleb. He knows his way around computers, can crack codes and break firewalls. He had the ability to send a text as A and actually sound convincing. I might be wrong but if its not Cici, than Caleb is definitely a target. 

I must also admit that I love Aria and Spencer as a team. Go Sparia!!!! As both of them go through relationship problems, Spencer realizes that while she was caught up in this whole web of mysteries, she forgot to apply to college. Enter Cici who conveniently goes to U-Penn and has connections to the administrations office. I would never trust that girl with my resume, and I would never be left alone at a party with her. She is definitely up to something. Anyways, going to that party Aria and Spence stumbled upon a clue that could fit together a lot of missing pieces. The party that Maya was seen at and the one that Holden attended was actually held at Noel Kahn's brother's house. Why those two would have any business at a college party beats me, but all roads lead back to Noel being A! There was also a time in past episodes when Maya was talking to Noel and Emily questioned it. Also, Maya did say when she went away she met a guy. Could all of this be little pieces that could answer a whole lot of questions? What about the website that Mona gave the liars? What role does that play in anything? 


As if the party wasn't a revelation enough,  Noel and Jenna (who are back together again) appeared at the party where they squared off against Aria and Spence in a game of truth and dare. Literally the most intense q+a match i've ever seen. And although not many questions seemed to get answered, we have confirmed that Jenna and Noel were with drunken Emily the night of the party. We also can confirm that Jenna knows where they found Emily that night in the graveyard... (and how would she know that). It seems that Jenna is actually in the loop about a lot of things regarding the liars, making it all the more suspicious. It was also great seeing Jenna feel awkward about being in the same room with Cici after she chewed her out on the phone. Classic.


On to the next shocker in tonights episode, pretty boy Ezra got a girl pregnant when he was 18. Taking it back to before we knew that, enter Wes, Ezra's sneaky little brother. Not sure if we can trust him yet (but than again who can we trust on this show??).  All we know is that he helped Aria when she was in need and mentioned Maggie, which he may or may not have done out of cruelty. Either way, this family is on a whole other level of screwed up. Aria is starting to realize that she didn't actually know anything about Ezra's life. But after finding out that his mother paid off Ezra's pregnant girlfriend and included terms stating that she would never see him again doesn't make it hard to believe that she wanted to pay Aria to break up with her son. The question now becomes did Maggie have an abortion??? Or are we going to be introduced to a little boy or girl that is Ezra's son. Aria hasn't even gotten to college so this could really be a tie-breaker for the too cute for words couple. That would really be the test of their love for each other.  My next question becomes, why are the writers and directors introducing this storyline to us a couple of episodes before the summer finale? Is this really relevant to finding out who A is?? Will it have some kind of impact to further along that storyline? 




Who do you guys will be the one to betray them all? Do you think that Hannah kissing Ren will have any impact on her getting back together with Caleb? Will it affect her friendship with Spencer?? Has Spencer's mom proven that she will save Hannah or will we be seeing our blondie behind bars before the season is over? Do you believe that Spencer's application to U-Penn was just delivered with such little problems or will it have A written all over it? So much to find out and so little time. Oh the tangled web just keeps getting more and more complicated. I can't wait till next weeks episode. I feel like A's presence has been put on the back burner a little bit and it's definitely time to spice it up a bit!

Pretty Little Liars- Crazy

"Friends don't let friends sneak into insane asylums alone."

Never judge a book by its cover, or rather a T.V show by its previews. This weeks Pretty Little Liars made us very aware that A was not playing and that Mona, might actually be innocent??? Ok, maybe thats a bit of a stretch but it seems that she really has been out of the loop since she's been in the looney bin.


As strange and eerie as the scenes in the mental hospital seemed to be, it actually resulted in Mona helping the liars. It's becoming really tough to see which side Mona is actually on, or if she really is crazy at all. At times, she seems to be normal and collected, but than we have those freaky scenes in the children's room where she chants really messed up sayings while claiming she "missed her dolls"and we're left wondering is she really all ok up there? It was pretty ingenious of Mona to talk in code because lets face it, crazy or not, she knows that she's being stalked. A had his tape recorders all up in those dolls. She cannot say anything without being to cautious. Either way by using the secret code her and Hannah made up a couple of days before Alison's body was found, she was able to communicate to the girls that something was "Not Safe" and provided them with a link to a website that had a picture of Maya. But that leaves all of us wondering who isn't safe? Maya or the liars? 


My guess is that the latter is the better bet. A is really not playing around at this point. He/ She has even gone to such extreme lengths as framing Hannah for the murder by putting her blood sample on the bracelet that Jason turned into the cops. And unfortunately, Rosewood is a town thats quick to judge by deceiving evidence. It also doesn't help that Hannah has been digging herself into a bigger hole than most of the girls. She's been lying to Caleb, sneaking into hospital rooms with threatening notes, and now Alison's father is back in town and he's still pretty pissed off about Hannah "joking" that Ali was alive. It also doesn't help that Wilden is on her ass 24.7. The man shows up at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hell, he's even at church parties! He's practically as present in Hannah's life as A is. 


Seems that Alison's father has a negative reaction on many people in the town, including his son. But why was Jason driving drunk and hoping to end up in a jail sell besides Garett?? Does that mean he's actually guilty of something or is he just depressed about the fact that he cannot seem to figure out who actually killed his sister? Although his step sister Spencer is very quick to help Jason out of any trouble and dig herself into a bigger hole. The police have let Garett go, but that's all their doing--finding victims that they think are guilty only to end up back at the start. The mystery of Ali seems to be eating away at everyone slowly.  But one thing I have realized is that although the writers make you want to believe Alison is dead, they keep trying to hint at the fact that she might actually be alive (check Quiji board). Now with the website with Maya's face on it, the reality could be that their both alive somewhere? Maybe their working together or they really are A's victims. It bothers me that the mystery of Maya's death isn't as important as the mystery of Ali's death. As we see, everyone on this show is tied to each other. Even Nate mentioned that Jenna spoke fondly of Maya as she drove her to school a couple of times. Who knew Maya was even friends with Jenna? 


As for new comer CeCe, we've only just brushed the tip of the iceberg with this one. Although the writers keep adding characters in at their convenience, I guess its something to distract us from going mental trying to figure out who A is.  As someone from Ali's past she must definitely have some insight into what made Ali who she really was. Although none of the liars new who she was, she knew about each and every one of them. Very typical of Ali to be so mysterious. But does that mean CeCe knew about A torturing Ali as well? Why did she come back to Rosewood? Why did her and Jason have a rocky breakup? Why was that summer so "intense." I have a feeling that CeCe is going to play a major role in finding out the truth about Ali. The way she meddled in Emily's business by scaring Jenna off was pretty odd though. What is it to her? I'm sensing that either she is going to fall for Emily, or worse, Emily is going to turn straight for Nate. Either way, having another Alison in town doesn't seem to be the best of idea's at this point. 


On a different note, Aria's momma falling for hot coffee shop owner. Score! Who says that Byron can be the only one with a younger partner? Its funny how karma has a way of coming back to you though. After Byron has a fling with his much younger student, his young daughter had a fling with her relatively older teacher, only for the wife to find a younger sexier boyfriend. She had absolutely no chemistry with Ted, which is a good thing since Hannah's mother has actually fallen for him. But what does that say about the holy man himself?? He's a pastor on a dating site..... That's awkward. Doesn't he know how small towns work?? And for a little spoiler alert, do we finally get to meet Ezra's mother? The mother that's unnaproving of Aria because she believes that Aria will ruin him??? They've come a long way and gotten through some pretty big obstacles, but I cannot say I don't agree with her just a little bit. Ezra has lost a lot to gain Aria's love, but than again he also might be a pretty little liar. Oh this show is just too contradicting!

The CW 2012- 2013

THE CW 2012- 2013 FALL SCHEDULE

Many old shows got cancelled, but a lot of new shows got added.


90210 (season 5) and Gossip Girl (season 6) will be returning. Gossip Girl unfortunately for a shorter season as it is in its final season, which I hope will be an epic unforgettable final for its die hard fans. Starting January 2013 the time slot of Gossip Girl will be replaced by The Carrie Diaries, which is a spin off on Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City as an adolescent.  Also returning this season is Vampire Diaries for its fourth season, Supernatural for its eight season, Hart of Dixie for its second season, Nikita for its second season, and Americas Next Top Model for cycle 19. 


I am most excited about the new comer Beauty and the Beast , but new shows Arrow and Emily Owens M.D look promising as well. Hopefully these shows make it past season one. It really is the most annoying thing to get hooked on a show and have it be cancelled after the first season. Therefore, I am a little upset about not being able to finish Ringer and The Secret Circle. I will always be wondering what the hell happened? 


What shows are you most excited about and what shows do you think will be an ultimate flop???? Keep your comments coming as it helps me figure out what shows to blog about this fall season!

Pretty Little Liars- The Remains of the A

"At times I thought maybe he was even filming it for someone else," 


said Jason. But does he truly believe that or is that his way of playing with Spencer's reality. This weeks episode of Pretty Little Liars did nothing except lead the liars down a path of more confusion. Instead of getting closer to the truth, things are just digging themselves deeper and deeper to a point that its hard to tell if the truth will ever resurface, or if A buried it deep enough to eat at everyone's conscience as they walk down a road of self destruction. And we're beginning to reach a point, where no one can be trusted. Oh deceptive, lying, filthy people of Rosewood. 


The one person I was hoping would not become a suspect in the mystery of A has suddenly become the biggest red flag. Could Ezra really have gotten all that money from Jason?? Although all signs point in that direction, I honestly hope the writers are just screwing with us. After a heartwarming realization that Ezra gave up everything for the love of his life Aria,  (the guy, as he exclaimed, went from being a professor to a couch potato, could he really deceive her like that? He needed quick cash fast. Maybe he saw an opportunity and fed Jason some false information in return for the reward? I find it hard to believe that Ezra could be part of the A team. But who knows, maybe Ezra knows something about that night that he isn't letting up too. Aria has been acting shady for the past couple of months now and he has never really questioned it. What kind of messed up role could sweet old Ezra be really playing in this?? Which really leaves me wondering, who does Jason have loyalty too? It seemed as though he didn't believe Spencer when he wrote out that $50,000 cash. Now, Ezra seems to have that money, which means Ezra would have turned his back on Aria. But he's still with Aria, and Jason is helping Spencer despite thinking that she has a lot to do with this. And now with Garett out of jail, who will his alliance fall with?


I doubt there is anyone that isn't creeped out by Wilden. Seriously, the man is everywhere acting like he is on to everything when really, he blows as a detective. Sure, the liars always set themselves up in the most inconvenient situations, but it doesn't prove anything. And although the "note switching"/ trap for A left Hannah with a dead end, it did help the girls track down something of high importance. After cracking the code, Jason realized that April Rose was actually a consignment shop. The note led Spencer and Jason to a bracelet or "the evidence" in Garett's case, that once belonged to Alison and has been a desired piece of evidence for a couple of years now. Yet, while Spencer was trying to keep Garett in jail, her plan backfired. The blood samples on the bracelet did not belong to Garett, which means that he is free of the charges against the murder of Alison. The question remains, who was suppose to find that note? Was the note meant for the liars? Did Garett know that Spencer's snoopy nose wouldn't be able to stay away and that she would willfully turn in evidence that would actually free him?  Additionally, we can only wonder who gave Ali that bracelet in the first place and how did it get to the pawn shop? 


As if Ezra being a suspect wasn't shocking enough, we now have to worry about Holden. This whole time, Holden seemed like just another boy Aria could trust. Yet after Emily revisited the address where her jacket reappeared from, she started remembering some things from that night. A little coffee diner helped her realize that she was actually there with a boy, who had a tattoo. The same tattoo that Holden was rocking at the church party. When she questioned it, he quickly washed off the permanent ink saying that it was from a party he attended. A party that he mentioned always occurred at  different locations. Oh and Maya was there occasionally too. How much more cryptic could the writers get? What party? Who organizes these parties? Why do the members wear tattoo's? Why is kidnapping part of the fun?? Did Maya die at this party? Did Ali attend the parties? I'm really about to have a breakdown similar to Spencer's in this episode. I want answers just as much as the liars do, if not more. How are all these people linked? Why are they all obsessed with watching and tormenting the liars? What is the key piece of information that has been forever missing? And why does everyone have a damn alibi for everything. I'm just disappointed in the men in Aria's life this week. Disappointed.

Pretty Little Liars- That Girl is Poison

"I feel a lot safer when I'm in charge of what happens to me"
Who is Amy Rose? What proof does she have? Who did Garett leave that secret note for? Could it really have been left for A. Does this give us any indication that Garett is working with A and that everything going on with his mother is just a cover up for Garett to be freed? So many questions revolving Garett. Its hard to tell at this point if he's actually up to something or just blamed for something he didn't do. What was so wonderful about this episode though, is that unlike many of the other times, the girls actually worked on getting the clues seperately. Hannah found the jacket linking them to that night at the church function. Emily figured out that she was drugged that exact same night. Aria found the pills used to drug Emily that night. They all worked seperately to piece the puzzle together. Spencer even went one step further and figured out that Garett is hiding something and hoping that no one finds the proof. But proof to what? Could there really be multiple lies and scheme's going on or is everyone working in unison? 


Most of the storyline is developed from one event, the very first episode. From that graveyard mishap, things seem to be falling in and out of place. Yet everything goes back to that one eerie night. Whatever Jenna was hiding from by pretending to be blind seems not to be a threat anymore. Proudly flaunting around that she can see her party was definitely more than just a birthday party. But why is she working so closely with a photographer. Especially a photographer that wont give Lucas back his negatives, negatives that could link him to the pictures in the cemetery. Emily already remembers being in the car with Jenna that evening, but could Lucas have been her accomplice? At this point Lucas is looking suspicious not only of taking those pictures and digging up the grave, but for drugging Emily as well. And Jenna, well the question is why is she pursuing Nate. What is his reason for staying in town and getting close to Emily?


As a result of Page's love drunk spree, the liars realized that Emily's wild night in the cemetery wasn't cause by alcohol at all but rather by a drug called MSM that are used to sedate the crazies and if mixed with liquor causes memory loss. Those pills were conveniently found in Lucas's bag. This evidence links Mona and Lucas together, which therefore links Jenna to Mona as well. The A-trio? But why? Lucas has become such a threat its a shame to see such a sweet innocent boy go down so tragically. If it wasn't for Ezra, Aria could have been in some real trouble. It still boggles my mind that after so manny deaths and threats these girls still go to places by themselves. 


All we know for now is that A has a lot more up his sleeve. He has insiders everyone. Could possibly have more of the police force working for him... or her. And is now leaving little hints at church functions. These girls really cannot get a breather. And with the final minute of the episode we see A going through a bag and finding prescription drugs that belong to Maya. Could those be the drugs that Aria found??? Or is that an indication that Maya is still alive and kicking? Why would A take so long to go through Maya's bag after her death??? Nevertheless, this episode was a little low on the A sabotaging scale.
