I'm still wondering about plot lines from just this last season, like why did we spend about five or six episodes on the mystery of who was in the barrel when Mona wasn't even dead?
Oh yeah, especially since it seemed that Tanner knew something was inside of it, but it was never talked about again after the fact?
One of the main problems this show has is introducing so many little subplots and storylines into the seasonal and main arc, spending so much time on it for some episodes, even half the season, only for it to be left behind as a trivial thing. At this point, the show has become so convoluted with unsolved and incomplete storylines and questions that I sometimes feel like it's deliberate to confuse the viewers that once it's time for any "big reveals" we would feel compelled to just accept anything they give us just to move things along. I mean, I really had to think back throughout the seasons to pinpoint exactly how the timeline went again, and for something of a mystery show it shouldn't be that complicated.
I still don't understand why CeCe went to all that trouble with the dollhouse when it had literally knowing to do with her explained motives of wanting to keep Allison with her.
Exactly, that dollhouse was so elaborate and deliberate, everything that "A" has done has always centered around Alison and her friends, about revealing their secrets. If Cece was all about seeing her family again, why go through all that trouble? Why was she so angry with the girls? Just because they weren't exactly happy with the way Alison had treated them? Cece knew what Alison was capable of with her mean girl status, they hung out together and did mean things to others together. Cece was practically like a mentor for Alison, in a way, as I recall a lot of the flashbacks in previous seasons. And remember "The First Secret"? Alison had been getting threatening messages since Halloween. Someone was intentionally threatening her, so much that she tried tracking down who was sending her those messages. If Cece was the one doing that, why? She was already friends with Alison at that time. I mean, none of it really makes sense, even with the familial connection.
And why was A sending Allison notes claiming responsibility for killing her Mother?
Yeah, that also doesn't make sense, either. Remember the picture/video that Alison received of her mother being buried? Why would Cece torment Alison like that if she truly loved Alison and their mother? None of it makes any logical sense given the information dump the finale gave us. It further proves that Marlene and the writers don't think these things through, and just do whatever they think people may buy.
(I'm not normally this pessimistic about this show. I acknowledge that it's ridiculous and nonsensical at times, but it has been mostly enjoyable for me throughout the seasons, and despite people being tired of the "A" guessing game I liked the ongoing mystery of it all and have been entertained by what we got....until now, that is. It's one of those moments where I wished they had kept with the book reveal instead. With all that build-up, all that anticipation, they could have done much, much better.)
