I know I'm not the only one that has been watching this show since it started. Hands up if you started with the books!🙋 So it seems only fitting that I make a post about it, because this has been my life for the last seven plus years. And we need to talk about it.
From this point I'll be mentioning spoilers, so if you haven't seen the finale (which I think you have, honestly), stop reading here!
Firstly, I need to mention that I'm so ready to start binging from season one all over again. From the very beginning, I have been in love with Aria and Ezra. Ezria ♡ I even have a shirt that says as much! Consistently, she has been my favorite liar. The crazy clothes, the writer, the lover of art. Aria is a girl after my own heart. Having wanted her and Ezra to get married after seven seasons and finally having it happen? THANK YOU. That's all I've ever wanted! I don't even care who AD is!
And then there's Spencer. My second favorite, the crazy smart girl with some obsessive issues when it comes to wanting to figure everything out. I have loved watching Spencer flesh out. From the beginning, to me, it seemed like she was just going to be the smarty pants, which she was. But she brought something incredible to the show. All the twists and turns that she took as a character when she found out all of the secrets her family had was crazy to watch. And I absolutely love her and Toby together. Hopefully, they become something again, though I'm sure that was insinuated.
Can we talk about that accent though? I know that she practiced to get the best accent she could but... I don't know. I'm not British, but I know a lot of them were like... wtf was that? I can't say that I liked it, but seeing as how Alex Drake pretty much grew up on the streets on London, she probably developed a very harsh accent. At least, that's the only way I can live with it.
And last but not least, the whole twin thing. I kind of had a feeling that they were going to stick with that. After all, it was in the books. Though it was Ali's twin and not Spencer's. Though I'd have to reread the books to see if there was so much intermingling between family's. I'm looking at you, Peter Hastings. I kind of wish, for the show, they would have chosen someone else. Perhaps Melissa? And the ending... I could have done without the whole thing with Addison. Instead, wouldn't it have been such a legendary finale to have it end with the group talking about how the town will always talk about them and what happened, and then Alison saying this?
Also... poor Wren! ðŸ˜
What did you think of the finale? Were you happy with the ending, or disappointed?
