Everything That Happened In Pretty Little Liars: an insane recap

[@hannahz6848]

I don’t even remember who Sydney is lol

[@hannonbaggin1649]

Same lmao

[@hesinmybasement]

Literally

[@prestowitch]

she disappeared from the show for a while and when she came back the characters were all like “omg it’s sydney 😱😱😱” and i was like “who?”

[@Lucy-so4hy]

I sometimes had to look up who characters were because I needed like a refresher

[@Lucy-so4hy]

And Sydney is just so forgettable

[@brunanasss]

i really wonder how my 16yo brain managed to understand this show perfectly but couldn't do basic math

[@SerenaSkybourne]

That is soooo true, like I was making whole diagrams and vision boards when I was 16 😭

[@Isabelle-hv6ny]

Especially not questioning everything. I watched Mikes Mic Vids and omg alone the timeline of the Day Allison disappeared is just amazing

[@brunanasss]

@@SerenaSkybourne i remember i made my older sister watch the CeCe A reveal with me one day and i could explain EVERYTHING. and it made perfect sense in my head. now i watch these things and i'm like HUH

[@mattDettling]

Same.

[@katherinepierce9933]

That's precisely why you were able to understand the show xD

[@Hazeljv3]

Every time I hear a plot recap of this show, despite the fact that I watched it all when it was airing, I'm dumbstruck by the sheer AMOUNT of predatory age-gap relationships. Like why is basically EVERY adult in Rosewood apparently attracted to minors??? How tf did the writers think that was okay??? 💀

[@danielsedan]

Right? They had my 13 years old butt thinking it was normal for a teenager and a person in their twenties to be together. Wtffff

[@samm6745]

I’m re watching it rn (I was like 14 when I started watching and I’m 24 now 💀) and I’m reeeeeally disgusted by all the “I’m in love with you”s said from grown ass men to HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS 😭😭😭

[@samm6745]

I used to be on arias side when her parents were the “villains” for getting in the way of her and her hot ass grown man teacher boyfriend 😭😭 the author of these books might as well be coll**n h**ver Edit: not the author of the books, but the writer of the show 💀

[@melinaalba63]

Omg yes! But I love how we all grew up and now realize how horrible all of that was and it's shocking that the writers, who were all well into their adulthood, had to have thought about all of this SO MUCH during the entire show for years and never said "okay so now we need to stop constantly blaming the girls for having relationships with adults/ teachers or whatever and show that the adults grooming them are at fault"

as someone who stopped watching ‘pretty little liars’ after season 4, i definitely needed this recap… thanks serena! 😌

[@SerenaSkybourne]

it's always nice to look back at what you missed!

[@melinaalba63]

Yeah same! I watched the show, I loved it so much but at some point between seasons I lost interest because it was getting so weird and convoluted and just kinda bad. And when I found out cece was actually Allisons brother who was transgender and she was really A I was completely done with show for good😂 I would love to see the show get a Remake where they change the story to actually make sense, decide on the story before writing it and then plant clues that actually mean something. Would make more sense than a Harry Potter Remake and whatever else Hollywood is making

[@jax001993]

Dont know if you will mention this but I believe the writers deserve more criticism for the Ezra/Aria relationship than they got. I will always side eye them for making this couple endgame especially since in the books they were not endgame and I believe Ezra was arrested.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

It killed me too when I found out 😭

[@allyson.m]

Aria as A has always been my favorite idea but I read this fic where WREN was actually A, he was Charles and it was really well thought out!

[@xwinwinwinx]

I saw a theory that I buy into where Wren was supposed to be Big A but the show couldn't get the actor back to film the reveal etc so they changed it to CeCe and thats why there are plot holes in her storyline eg. Jason saw her wearing the Ali's yellow top talking to Melissa the night Ali disappeared, which doesn't line up with the explanation in the A reveal. They then tried to explain away this plot hole by saying Jason was high and hallucinated

[@halo2d]

@@xwinwinwinxseveral scripts were leaked so the story got changed on the fly. It’s why I really dont like Reddit. The actor who played Wren was also on Once Upon A Time, ABC didn’t have an issue making him available for both shows.

[@space9099]

i will never get tired of your pll videos

[@thaboiinblue]

The idea for who the final ‘A’ should have been, is BRILLIANT. I’ll be the first to admit that for ME, despite her great acting, I never really liked Aria very much. But I think I would have LOVED her if she and Ezra had been A together and were master manipulating the entire thing! And Lucy Hale would have ATE that! I just KNOW she would have had SO much fun doing it and it would've been phenomenal! Side note: Either Ali should have stayed dead, or been a mystery (like is she dead? Or not? Aka her body was never found, but she was never seen again yet her presence is always felt), or she still returned but her “redemption arc” was her still being sort of mean and manipulative but RETAINING her skills and intelligence! Imagine HER and Aria facing off, followed by individual one-on-one face offs with the rest of the girls (somehow, maybe they’re all kidnapped and locked up and one after another manages to escape). We could see how EACH girl would deal with this incredible betrayal by the friend they thought they knew and be backed by the one they thought was worse (Ali). Mona too. Ali, Mona, and Spencer as the smartest ones but ALL the girls being badass and figuring things out, and developed equally well (poor Emily. I loved her in spite of it all). Also Maya never dies, she returns and ends up with Emily, bringing their love full circle, while Alison stays happy to be the femme fatale (ish) girl she was always meant to be, not a housewife.

[@khariahpayne]

Yes, this is what we deserved! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@RodrickMarsMoon]

I remember that I was memorizing lines and clues that could be important (I have a condition called hyperthymesia, so, yeah...), and made a notebook where I was noting all theories (personal and from others) and those lines and clues, to show the notebook to other fans and explaining every week the reasons why, connecting stuff from Ravenswood and Pretty Dirty Secrets to explain -A a little better... I even had a theory that every single mystery would be answered in that night Alison disappeared, that the final episode would play all the events from that night in chronological order with a huge "that happened 😳😵!!!" vibe... Then I burned the notebook after I watched the last episode 😑. No one wanted anyway 🤗😅. Edit: I remember when the "Alison was alive this whole time!!!" episode was released, that when Alison said "remembered what I told you in the hospital" to Hanna, I paused the episode and recited that whole dialogue from the hospital to my friend and to my cousin; that day was wild 😂.

[@haileygrace1924]

That is so cool? How can someone tell if they have hyperthymesia?

[@RodrickMarsMoon]

@@haileygrace1924 It's hard to explain the thing per se, so I'll give an example of how my hyperthymesia works 😅🤗. Mine works via triggers that happen through stuff around me, from smells, sounds, textures and visual clues. Like, I feel the smell of a perfume now and I'll remember that I felt the same perfume on a black woman in the theater when I watched Disney's Tarzan in the day it was released, in 1999; on a blond woman in a amusement park in november of 2005 before I got into the rollercoaster and on my english teacher from 2008. Or when I see someone that looks like my ex, then I remember all the best memories I had with her back to back and feeling all the love I felt for her all over again for a few minutes. Now imagine that, but five, six times per day, every day. That's how my brain works 🤗. But it has a bad side too: if I have too many memories triggered in a day, I get mentally exhausted 😅. Hahaha'.

[@quietwaterz7550]

It took me several attempts rewatching to make it through this entire show. I stopped watching sometime during season 5 when it was on T.V. and every subsequent rewatch I would only make it that far as well. That is , until this last time. I finally finished it! And it was absolutely ridiculous.

[@flawedsanity]

Lmao same! It came out when I was a senior in high school, so I watched the first season and maybe part of season 2 live. But then never went back to it until I heard all the uproar about the finale and watched only the finale and... yikes? But recently I finally watched all of it and God, everything after S2 was so insane lmao.

Liking so I can watch it after work. I really wish they would have kept Mona motive being she was in the same room with Jenna and got burned and was targeting the girls because 1) they blind Jenna, 2) they burnt her torso 3) Toby got blamed. And kept the next A more so like the books.

[@Cosmicabsolution]

Regarding Ian, he did survive the fall at the church. Allison says in the season 4 finale that she saw him walking out of the church. I believe Marlene confirmed in an interview that Ian did commit suicide and the confession note was planted by A.

[@madelynh7052]

I think Mona was on the Halloween train and was the one who felt Hannah up, because she says later after the lodge fire, something like and to think we were this close to our first kiss

[@diamondaliciaaa]

the vivian darkblook subplot is heavily misconstrued, the motive behind the second identity was to figure out who A was. Which is why she’s only ever Vivian when she went to Brookhaven. idk if it was aria or spencer but one of them say “when Ali put that wig on she meant business” and the context of the convo is she didn’t wear the disguise for leisure & they’re trying to figure out why she made the identity

I might be wrong but I thought that they put the stink bomb in to get Toby because Alison said he was watching them get changed but Jenna was accidentally the victim instead?

I remember after the series finale there was this hour long special with Marlene King where she was being interviewed, she was going to explain everything, all the clues and tie up any loose ends that the show didn't tie up. She couldn't explain anything, also your show shouldn't need a special to help you tie up plot points and questions. I still maintain someone else was supposed to be big A (I've seen Wren's name being thrown around that he was supposed to be big A) but people figured it out and Marlene's ego couldn't handle that so she changed it.

[@Jessica.Shawnte]

I don’t think Aria has an personality disorder but I do think something was mentally wrong with her. if we’re talking theories mine is Aria was in a mental hospital during Byron’s “sabbatical”. They never really spoke about Iceland. If she went to a mental hospital in a different state that would make sense as to why her records were at Radley.

[@TwBelgi78]

Honestly would have liked for the Montgomery’s to mention their life in Iceland a bit more.. There are mostly visual clues like Mike’s big Icelandic flag in his room and family pictures that look like Icelandic scenery that I’m familiar with. Aria not talking about Iceland at ALL (Speaking a bit of icelandic that she learned, friends she made while in school in Iceland, etc.) make the entire situation seem suspicious.

[@Jessica.Shawnte]

@@TwBelgi78 the Iceland situation was done well at all. Little details matter. I’m from Maryland and when I was younger we moved to Nevada for a few months. The time difference was rough. It would late in Maryland so my mom would make me go to bed early. In the pilot episode we were told they been back for a few days. Why weren’t they tired since Iceland is 4 hours ahead of Pennsylvania

Same. It’s definitely my comfort show. I never realized that it didn’t make sense.

[@samyzuniga]

In 26:05 you mentioned how the black swan novel is about a dancer with DID (dissociative identity disorder), that is not what the book is about. The black swan book is about "how unlikely events dramatically change our lives if they do happen, as well as what you can do to become better at expecting the unexpected". It's basically a philosophy book. I think what you meant was the movie "Black Swan" which is different than the play "Swan Lake" lol. And in the movie the main character doesn't have DID. She develops schizophrenia and it is also said she has OCD because of her fixation on achieving perfection. You also said that the DID tracks with Aria's personality. She never showed any signs of it, or at least I didn't noticed. Because of her outbursts of anger, maybe she has bipolar??? Idk. She seems to have anxiety and ptsd, but pretty much the whole group has that.

[@Jessica.Shawnte]

I don’t think it was Anxiety. Everything about Aria is never straight forward it’s all theories and you just have to pay attention. They never explained why Aria had a file at Radley and they never spoke about Iceland that’s odd

There is so much nonsense in this show and that always bugged me because I need logic. Even if it is a supernatural show, it needs to have logical storylines and folklore that makes sense in the shows context. But PLL never made sense to me, especially after they introduced supernatural elements but in the next episode actedlikr nothing happened. But what bugged me to most, is the ridiculous timeline 😅 come on, seaosn 3 to season 6 is supposed to be one school year ?????😅

[@kailynncovington3907]

I think what I like about PLL is the vibes. It was addictive and pretty. Not to mention the effects they used for the past made it seem almost....ethereal. I also like the mind games and dangers they faced because of A. Alison was a very interesting character early on. I also liked how the night she disappeared she helped Spencer and it showed that she had a softer side to her. I would've loved for The Liars to have been morally grey, it would've been interesting to see how things would've changed (how they handled A, any plans they would've had, their secrets, etc.) I would've loved to see the girls doing their own mind games and kidnapping and threatening people while trying to find out who A was and keeping their secrets a secret, etc. I also think the predator relationships should've been treated as actual predators and that the girls dealt with them. Some legally others illegally which would've been more ammunition for A. Honestly, this show should've been more mature. Also if they all had dark sides it would make sense why they were drawn to one another because of this and because they were useful to each other but also to to some degree genuinely loved one another (and they become closer because of A.) I would've also liked the girls to not just have been bystanders and chose to commit their own dubious actions instead of it all being Allison. I liked that none of the Liars were A (that it was a monster of their own making,) and I also liked the scene when they were stuck in the car and the dollhouse episodes. I didn't like that there was multiple A's. I would've preferred if it was just Mona and her accomplices and that the show didn't have as many seasons. I feel like it should've had five seasons (13 or 15 episodes each.) I also wished Allison's character hadn't changed so much. I did like that she became a better person, but she was SO different. I wish they showed the intelligence, they kept saying Spencer had instead of it being so up and down (I think they didn't properly know how to protray high levels of iq. I know it's hard trying to wrap your mind around a gifted mind enough to protray it without being exposed to geniuses or being one yourself.) I also wished that the weird relationship Spencer had with her sister was expanded on or maybe made more clear/explicit (maybe they were both jealous of each other and often double crossed, one-up each other, etc,) and maybe her parents weren't emotionally available and pushed academic excellence on both of them, causing Spencer to gain a drug addiction and something for Melissa (maybe she seeked validation from men or maybe she used them as a distraction? Either or.) I also wished Emily had better subplots and that she and Allison didn't ended up together (honestly all of Emily's love intrests were weird.) I also wished they were drawn to their love intrest for a reason. Maybe they brought out their good sides, were grounding, calming etc and I did like how involved they were, but they could've been more useful. I also liked how everyone had secrets but I wish it was all tied together clearly and connected to A, Allison's disappearance, and the girl's secrets. Even the dirty cop guy. Maybe he was already on A's team but took Hannah's shoplifting to lord his power over Hannah and her mom or something and maybe he could've be one of the first the Liars get rid of. I like the idea of even the "good character," doing bad things to survive and they gradually become better (not completely good but better,) people but maybe they were already on their journey because of Allison's disappearanc. Speaking of her disappearance, I wished the year and months she was gone were explained. Also the episode when they meet should've just been a continuous flip flop from the night she disappeared and her time away and her telling the story to the girls. Specifically after something triggering or important is shown. Also with the scar on Allison's leg. Was she SA'd or was the guy cutting her up? Either way it could've showed a bit of that then flashed to Allison and the girls crying and holding one another AND FOR GOD'S SAKE IF THEY WANTED TO ADD THE SUPERNATURAL INTO THE MIX THEY SHOULD'VE DONE THAT SOONER AND MORE CLEARLY!!! but I personally don't think it was needed.

[@bewilderedbunnny]

i was so deep in the trenches of pll that my freshmen year we wrote letters to our senior selves as a class assignment, and mine was just a page of A theories. and we had to write letters to our future selves in my senior year and it was just about the perfectionists.

“I got so worked up and it literally meant nothing” could honestly sum up the whole show

[@AliceWOT]

I remember seeing old Aria is A theories about her relation to Bethany Young and how that could have been how Eddie Lambert recognised her as Aria could have been family, either a cousin or sister (because there were references to a mentally unstable uncle). If the story line between Alison, Bethany and Sara had been more serial killer recreating crimes it would make total sense for Aria to be A and Vivian Darkbloom, because if Alison looks like Bethany and Bethany looks like Aria, she could have been using that as her A disguise.

[@OffKiraDeux]

I want to start by saying that I have only seen the pilot because it grossed me out so I dipped, but I have seen all of your videos (and of other creators), so I think I have a good grasp of the show, generally. I love your videos because they feel like a friend telling a story, I love your asides and wish they'd descend fully into unhinged rants, I'm sure you have them in you lol. My one criticism - Serena, gurl, you *need* a fugly Vivian Darkbloom, evil twin wig for any future PLL videos, you just need one. For the lolz. In the spirit of the insane nature of the show, you should embrace the idiocy and go for it. What about this for an batshit A reveal - it's *all* of the trashiest trash men in Rosewood. Throw in Ezra, throw in Byron, throw in all of crappy (male) love interests; the boys had the gross ass high school creep club, so upon discovering about A they figured, hey why not, they could control the girls for their own particular reasons from the shadows, and indulge in their darker impulses (stalking, gaslighting, kidnapping, torturing, killing, whatever). Seems like women were always A, to the plot's detriment. It would force Marlene to commit to making the men accountable and out in the open acknowledged as the fucking worst though, so there is that. Alternatively, Ezra, Aria and Allison as A - his two muses. And of course they would eventually turn on him because, he deserves nothing less.

Yes, yes, I am 100% here for this, let's go

[@LoofaMcDoogan773]

Spencer trying to hide the fact that her sisters bfs kissed her as if she isn't a VICTIM! Melissa picks creeps and rides for them so hard. The whole Ian thing was ridiculous. Like girl, stand up! You're Melissa fucking Hastings!

[@AlexaWatts-e1g]

I believe they should’ve done a prequal to the series of where Alison became so mean to Mona in middle school all the way to when she went missing. Idk why I think that would’ve been great! Instead of doing the perfectionists

[@AxleMyths]

Me and my wife watched the show (pre/during pandemic), and I was so upset by the ending, and I needed someone to talk about it... my wife didn't really seem to care. So, I looked up PLL stuff on YT, and that's when I found the 1st. Video (it hadn't been uploaded very long), with promises for more... 3 years later, I am still not happy with the ending, and I listen to Skyborne whenever she talks about PLL lol.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

that's so cool!

[@criss_x]

well, i have never seen this show but I needed some background noise while working. Finished the whole video in one sitting. I didn't know anything going in and I think I understand even less now. Someone died maybe? Things happened, they're in a place, someone kissed, cliff hanger, time travel, dumb ending? I have no idea what just happened.

[@SerenaSkybourne]

Same honestly

[@SerenaSkybourne]

I think this video would need to be 3x longer to explain things at a slower pace because it’s confusing enough for fans of the show as it is

[@criss_x]

@@SerenaSkybourne Check out Buffy if you want a show with great writing and characters, the first season is a little rough cuz it's so low budget. I actually recommend people start the show at season 2 and come back to the first season later but whichever way you watch, about half way into season three and you'll be like "this is one of my favorite shows ever." All good fun, very silly fashion and silly special effects, then out of no where some of the best episodes of television in tv history.

[@Lucy-so4hy]

Mike and Mona are adorable. I agree with you, Siena. People can say what they want to say, but they can’t deny facts.

[@wispytouch1022]

you and mike from mike's mic would legit be besties

[@alexmaximusjr]

Gosh I love you so much!! This will be goodddd. Keep pll alive forever

[@craigthomas5409]

In my opinion…I wouldn’t say unserious but unrealistic. The first two seasons were great. It was relatable but after that it just went down hill. Still love watching it though. Love you Serena!

[@dionysisnance4204]

At some point I was on jenny side the girl took her eyesight so she had every right to hate them

[@GabrielleP310]

Just started rewatching this show and there is a lot of blurred boundaries with interpersonal connections and toxic family dynamics. Basically lots of 🚩🚩🚩‼️

[@Missmagazinebura]

I was on reddit and saw this upload

[@merliiiinn]

I'm always confused why anyone would team up with mona when Ali returned. Yes, Alison was a horrible bully, but what the hell was better about Mona? Once Alison was gone, she took over that role. She called people by Ali's mean nicknames. Plus everyone knows about the A thing. Every time I rewatch it, I am so confused why anyone would pick a stalker, attempted murderer and bully over bully.

[@EverythingAnimePodcast]

Girl props to you for powering through that confusing 7 season mess

[@barbieswanlake0093]

queen you need to talk about challengers and bridgerton

[@JenningsB45]

Great video. I enjoyed how you explained the show. It was fun. I just want to add the Halloween Train episode where Hannah is felt up by someone dressed like Caleb. It was Mona, at the end of the episode we see Mona back in her Radley bed with the Allison mask shown under her bed. Also the reason Allison trusted Noel Kahn was said to be because he was the one that pushed that girl down the stairs at that college party not Ian and Allison knew.

[@hannonbaggin1649]

How ironic, trusting someone cus they pushed someone down the stairs 😂

[@hannonbaggin1649]

Alison is so toxic lmao

[@rektbiich4585]

Unpopular opinion- the worst part of the show was the main 4 liars. It revoled way too much around them when they had nothing to do with most stuff. Like up to season 2 everything is fine ,the motive is logical with Mona being bullied and her only friend being taken away by the other 3 ,AND AFTERWARDS ITS A SHITSHOW! The fact that half of the side characters(like Mona) were wayyyyy more interesting than the liars themselves tells a lot imo. They should have stuck to one plot and make either Melissa or Aria A,not random twin from London ... and the doll house being 2 episodes was CRIMINAL. It deserved half a season! The show for me has too much wasted potential in favor of giving the viewers what they want- their boring cringe love interests( aria and ezra is even criminal) ,which took too much screentime,too much unneccesary drama and that was ultimately their downfall

[@liseyboop]

incredible serena 🤣❤️ excited for this watch - 🅰️

[@SerenaSkybourne]

Luvv you 🥰

[@catazoe7535]

1:14:23 "These girls never learn, they keep fucking lying all the time" while talking about pretty little LIARS is hilarious lmaoo it should be the show's synopsis on streaming sites

[@gregputnam7243]

We need more shows like this with 5+ seasons and 15+ episodes per season

[@amberbernay]

It was confirmed Ian survived the bell tower and then committed suicide then Mona just framed the letter

[@milkbread964]

i needed this long video today thank you😫🙏

[@michaelstone5298]

Addison, what is the mean girl of Rosewood high where Emily and Alison both worked, that was actually going to be the original Perfectionists spin-off. (But sample audiences didn't like it, so the Network told Marlene King to go back and redo it as a college show).

[@sailoraries8086]

i didn't watch this show when it was airing but i will watch multiple video breakdowns about it

[@LaraOmar]

One of your best videos Serena!!!
