‘Pretty Little Liars’ Finale: How a Mystery Hid Its Villain
I hoped we dropped enough Easter eggs so that people are either like, “Oh, I had it right,” or, “I almost had it right.” In Sara Shepard’s books, Allison was a twin, and it played such a big part of the books
that we always wanted to do at least one twin on the show.
Needless to say, there are spoilers ahead, so any readers who don’t want to know the identity of A. D., the latest “A,” — or why
the show’s sex scenes became more revealing, or which plot points provoked the angriest viewer reactions — should turn back now.
One was, these girls — at the time they were girls, then they became young women — are going to be unconditional friends no matter what.
If we had more seasons to come, I think I would do everything I could to promote
positive gay role models, people accepting people being gay and transgender.
I think of transgender characters the same way I think of gay characters and straight characters — as if we’re all equal.
I. Marlene King has learned a lot about secrecy and lying during her tenure as the showrunner for the hit whodunit-soap “Pretty Little Liars,” an addictive mystery about a group of high school friends threatened, blackmailed
and tortured by a rotation of anonymous villains identifying themselves as “A.” (When one “A” is unmasked, another emerges.)
So when it came to having sex as Alex Drake, she’s probably more take-charge than we would ever see Spencer be — less tender, more aggressive.
If I had known in Season 4 or 5 what Season 7 ultimately was going to be, it would have been great to see Alex Drake in our world a few more times.
I got a little nervous about a month or two ago, because it seemed to be the most popular theory, but then it just became one of many theories.
