Give me a fandom and I'll give you, either in the comments or in a separate post, five unpopular opinions for that particular fandom.

Maybe Pretty Little Liars? :D

Hmm I'm not sure what the unpopular opinions are there, but I'll do my best!

1. One opinion that I know isn't popular in fandom is that I felt really bad for Allison in season 5 after she came back, I was disappointed in how quickly her friends turned against her. Yeah maybe they needed to break away from her domineering influence on them from when they were younger, but I thought that the show jumped a little too quickly into Aria blowing a rape whistle around Allison, or the girls deciding that all of their problems with A should be solved now that Allison is in jail. I also thought it was skeezy how they discussed planting evidence to make it look like Allison killed Mona, even though they had no proof of that, and I was uncomfortable with the shot of them all ganging up against Allison just before she was arrested. Allison has made a lot of mistakes in how she treated people, but it doesn't seem like the other four girls are doing that much better right now in how they're acting towards their former friend IMO

2. Toby is okay, but I think that Spencer and Wren would have made for a much hotter couple. I was kind of disappointed that they dropped them so completely, yeah there was the age gap and the dodgy past history, but still Wren was pretty sexy :P

3. This is possibly popular or unpopular, I'm not sure how many fans they have, but Ezra and Aria have been really gross to me ever since season 4 revealed how he deliberately manipulated 16 year old Aria in order to write a book on Alison's disappearance. It didn't seem so bad at first when we were led to believe that he had been unaware of Aria's real age, but now we know that he had a trap laying in wait for her from their first meeting in that bar, which shines a really sinister light on their relationship. It's ridiculous how the show now wants to have them publically dating and fine with one another, just because Ezra got shot (and is apparently no longer teaching?) That doesn't wipe away the beginnings of their relationship!

4 I don't believe that Aria is A

5. I find Emily kind of boring :( She's sweet enough, but I don't think that I've got into any of plot lines that much. At the beginning her coming out was handled very well, but ever since all of the stuff with swimming and college she's been the dullest of the main four to me

Which makes me wonder once more if one of the 4 could be A. I don't exactly remember if one of them "started" the whole ganging up, but yeah...

I don't think Toby and Spencer will be an item much longer... quite frankly, I'm sure they are gonna break them up and have Spencer get together with this shady Jonny guy... -.-

I'm still betting on Hanna! XD

And I don't know, I always feel like the three main couples are safe, just because they're so aware of what the fan base wants. I would like for them to shake things up a bit though, it gets boring otherwise trying to care about the new love interests they introduce as obstacles (Travis, karate instructor etc) when we know that they're never going to last
