Oh my god. After what felt like the longest wait of all time, the first episode of Pretty Little Liars season 6B "Of Late I Think of Rosewood" finally aired. They're back, 5 years later and the story continues. I have been looking forward to this episode since the shocking (and to many, disappointing) huge reveal of the identity of A.
There was so much hype building up to this episode (and, I mean, no kidding. You answer the biggest question of the entire show and then break for months... Obviously we're excited). Did the episode live up to the hype? Well... In my opinion... Not really.
It starts off with the girls reuiniting in Rosewood after being summoned by the court (and Alison, of course) in order to determine if they should release Charlotte. The girls look great; new cities, new jobs, new hair... A lot has changed in these 5 years. But they're not doing as well as it seems... I'm looking forward to seeing more about how the girls have been coping, especially Emily who, we learn, lost her father.
The girls show up to the court, lie (once again for Alison) stating they were no longer scared of Charlotte. Aria is the only one who is honest, but nonetheless, Charlotte is released. And not even 24 hours after she gets released... she goes missing. Alison wakes up and discovers that her stuff is all there but she is gone. So now, I'm thinking its going to get good. Charlotte is up to no good again and this episode is about to get exciting... right? Well... not the excitement I was expecting because not even 5 minutes after we find out she's missing, they find her body... dead. All this happens, and she commits suicide? Sounds fishy.
Once again, the girls end up at a funeral. One that is eerily similar to Alisons. Like when Sara "Shower" Harvey with a man on her arm a la Season 1 Jenna and Toby? With the black widow veil on too, nice touch. Aaaaaand then we find out Charlotte didn't commit suicide... she was murdered (KNEW IT!!!).
So dun dun dunnnn there's a new killer on the loose I guess. And knowing PLL and their fantastic police force, I'm thinking Aria is probably their prime suspect right now since she "didn't want Charlotte released, ever".
Anyway, as much as I dislike Charlotte, I'm pretty annoyed she died. Like, first episode after the massive reveal and she gets killed off? 5 and a half seasons of wondering who A is, and right after we find out, they get murdered. I get that they're making way for the new bad guy but I feel like all the A buildup was for nothing now... As if they just threw away 5 and a half seasons of torture. I dunno...
Overall, I was a bit underwhelmed, but I can feel like there's potential for this to be a great season.
