Game Over, Charles: Summer Finale Liveblog Thread

[Cranberry]

This thread is for live reactions as the summer finale airs. It will be open on Tuesday, August 11 from 8-9 pm EDT. Outside of that period, this thread will be locked, so please take your full discussion to the episode discussion thread. Thanks, and have fun!

 

(If anyone wants a west coast liveblog thread, let me know in Small Talk. When I did liveblog threads for Glee, there was seemingly no interest in the west coast airings!)

[Cranberry]

Only a few more minutes, guys! Excited?

 

This thread will close a few moments after the finale and the episode thread will open, so all of your normal post-ep discussion should go over there.

 

...aaaaaand let's go!

[Lolabelle]

SO EXCITED!  Been watching since the pilot, cant believe the day is here

[Watt]

Yayayyayaya I'm excited!

[WhosThatGirl]

​Well, I'm prepared to be somewhat disappointed. Also, excited for this liveblog.

[Lady Calypso]

I'm gonna lower my expectations. That way, less disappointment! Let's go!

[WhosThatGirl]

Hey officer Barry! Nice to see that is always consistent! 

[Lady Calypso]

Apparently, everything the girls have been through these past six seasons is A/Charles 'just being a bitch'. Damn. 

[Cranberry]

I love Mona so much. And also the blue snarfing callback!

[jjjmoss]

Summer of Answers is finally starting!

[Lady Calypso]

Of course Mona has her own tracking system, and of course Charles has his own cellular signal.

[WhosThatGirl]

Oh hey look Charles has a creepy room filled with pictures too. Mona keep being the best.

[Watt]

Well shit two dead already.

[Lady Calypso]

So...bye Mr. DiLaurentis? 

[Cranberry]

Sara's presence is slightly ruining this for me.

 

...and that just redeemed it, nevermind!

[WhosThatGirl]

We called it, you guys! SARA IS EVIL!

[Lady Calypso]

LOL, and thus, Emily finds out her girlfriend is a shady bitch.

Oh wait, Jason, NO! 

Oh, ok. Hi CeCe. I still don't believe she's Charles in any way. But thank god Jason isn't dead. 

[Watt]

Oh okay, not dead. I'm let down. And Sara is totally creepy. I don't know how I feel about cece. Ahhhhhh.

[WhosThatGirl]

Its Cece?!?! Damn it. Thats not exciting at all. 

[Perfect Xero]

It's Cece, I'm shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not shocked.

[Lolabelle]

NOT IMPRESSED

[Watt]

She's just there for exposition lol

[Cranberry]

Marlene and the actors were being pretty careful to say "they" instead of "he" when referring to A for the past few days, so I'm not entirely surprised. There's gotta be a lot more to the story, though.

[WhitneyWhit]

What VR Troopers nonsense was that last scene?

[raytch]

Ha! Hi Cece!!!

 

Ok what the fuck is this high tech stuff?

The CGI effects are terrible...

[WhosThatGirl]

I mean, I was really kind of excited there for a second and now I'm not. Damn it show!

[Lady Calypso]

Nah, it's only been 10 minutes. There's no way they reveal Charles THIS early. She's probably just there to throw people off and she's probably just Red Coat or something. There's more to it, for sure.

[itainttippithebird]

Oh god, no. My worst fears realized?!?!

 

Fuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkk

Those pics with Charles's face pasted on Ali's little girl body? It's definitely CeCe and they're definitely going trans with this storyline. I'm gonna throw up with rage.

[Lady Calypso]

......damnit, I was wrong.

[Cranberry]

This canNOT be an evil transgender thing, can it? CAN IT?

[itainttippithebird]

I SO hope I'm wrong, but you guys. YOU GUYS.

[GlamDiva]

But didn't Cece date Jason?

[WhosThatGirl]

I knew it would be an actual accident and not Charles trying to hurt her, even so, WTF is this reveal? And it doesn't justify the crap done to Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily. And also, how are they getting away doing this type of storyline as an evil transgender storyline? That's messed up. Its 2015.

Edited August 12, 2015 by WhosThatGirl

[WhitneyWhit]

wait, CeCe dated her own brother?!

[Lady Calypso]

And....they went there. This is so stupid. I'm not going to be surprised if the transgendered community revolts.

[itainttippithebird]

Oh god, ANYTHING but this. ANYTHING.

[Watt]

What.......

[Lady Calypso]

So, Bethany killed Toby's mom. My god. I am NOT impressed. 

[Cranberry]

What the hell is this Bethany shit? One second she's massively supportive, the next she's a total asshole who will shove a woman off a roof?

 

This episode lost me already. We suspected a "CeCe is Charles" thing here and none of us wanted it. It's a massively bad idea!

[GlamDiva]

Well this is disappointing.

[WhitneyWhit]

So Radley allowed the mentally ill to hang around on the roof? No wonder the place got shut down.

[jjjmoss]

Bethany did it? How pointless.

[KaveDweller]

Wasn't Bethany supposed to be the same age as Alison?

[Lady Calypso]

I am PRAYING that Cece is actually lying and covering for the real Charles, who has to be Wren or Wilden. I am holding on to this hope that Marlene is not THIS dumb and naive to think this isn't going to anger anyone, especially the transgender community. 

[ottoDbusdriver]

So, did CeCe/Charles invent a time machine and travel bag in time with a big bag of cash and another big bag of future tech (including the capability to build his/her own cell phone network -- WTF ?) in order to torment the PLLs ?  Where did the holo-projection nonsense come from ?  #SummerofLameAnswers

[WhosThatGirl]

What is happening here? On this show? Bad move show. This plot.. is just.. not.. a good idea.

[Watt]

This can't be it....I mean, this is a misdirect right?.lol.

[Cranberry]

I'm with Hanna.

[raytch]

ok this makes no sense. Charles was supposedly in his early 20s when Marion Cavanaugh died!!!

WTF show. 

[CraftyHazel]

What the holy hell?! If this plays out the way it looks like it's going to, with the evil transgender child, I might just break every PLL boxed set I own...and I own them all.
