I really liked this episode. It was an awesome surprise that the new season was already on because I stopped following PLL sites and spoilers so I completely forgot. The confusing suckage of the last 2 seasons has caused me to not think about/question too many things and jus try to enjoy it. When it's boyfriend drama and obvious red herrings that's challenging. But this episode was very engrossing and creepy as hell.
Emily watching horror movies has been a running joke throughout the series so I think that's where the organs comment came from. Considering the implications of the liars being naked it was a little misplaced but don't think the writers thought of it like that.
I was a little annoyed that we didn't get any of the parents in the episode other than boring Mr D. but the newsarticle about Ashley and Caleb's promise made up for it a little. There better be at least one parent each in the next episode though...!
I think I'm one the only one who wouldn't have minded if they'd been raped. I mean, it horrified me when I thought that's what happened, but I thought it was fitting that it would culminate to that and take things to the next level.
Psychological torture by making them choose who to hurt is the next best thing. I don't even think the buttons would do anything other than a fake screaming tape, but they wouldn't know that.
Maybe A also played video on a loop of their peers trash talking them and saying the drama queens deserve everything they get. It would fit the theme of their old selves in their old clothes. And that's why they brought up what they used to call Lucas etc. and that they're not those people anymore.
It was interesting that Ali went for Emily's hand, but Emily was all business like "who is Charles Dilaurentis". It would be kinda fun if Alison is the one hopelessly in love with Emily this time around and Emily is hardened and pumping her for info.
I thought it made total sense that they were empowered when they got together again and decided to take action. They're always weaker on their own and strong as a unit.
Don't trust Mona and don't like her in the victim role. She works better as a villain. It amused me that Aria seemed to be her bestie in the bunker. Reminded me of how nothing ever happened to Aria when Mona was A.
Still think this whole thing would have been better if Ezra was The A. Can you imagine?
