A Lannister Always Pays His Debts-Pretty Little Liars 4X05

 I apologize for the lack of updates for the past week. My hard drive crashed and I have to have a new one sent to me. Game of Thrones will start up again either later today or early tomorrow, I have a lot of catching up to do. Anyways! Pretty Little Liars.

Aria

Bees. Why does it always have to be bees. Whether it's the X-Files or Pushing Daisies, why are bees something people always try to harness?

Pushing Daisies. Because this isn't terrifying

C'mon Piper, blow them up! Oh wait, wrong show.

And where has Mike been for the past two years? Hiding in the basement? Prison for grand theft? These are important questions.

Toby

Poor Toby. All the characters on this show have had terrible, terrible things happen to them, but Toby's just seem more terrible. Mostly because they aren't at the hands of A. Your mother commits suicide and your step-sisters molests you? I'm fairly surprised you're not a serial killer. It was heartbreaking to watch him realize her doctor no longer had the mental facilities to remember his mother. I hope Toby finds answers.

Spencer

First off, let's talk about the bad-ass nerdiness of Spencer. Because that guy she talked to, you know he's one of those guys who calls women 'fake geek girls' and the like. So her nerdy take-down was awesome, especially because he called her crazy. There's a great quote about women being perceived as crazy by Tavi Gevinson (who is more awesome than I could ever hope to be, here's her TED talk:) which says: "People expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple- When in actuality, women ARE complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy . But because people are crazy, and women happen to be people". Women's version of crazy is either perceived as women being from another planet OR really simple and all they think about is men.

His reference of women being crazy is based off this really weird perception that women are obsessive over men? And her actually having a crazy episode makes that comment hurt a little more and then she just fucking takes him down.

Not a Hastings. But a Khaleesi.

AND she finally confronted Melissa, who is totally more involve than she is letting on. Because she's Melissa and because she was doing a terrible job of getting rid of the evidence.

Emily
Is this the worst thing A has done to any of the girls? I think it is. I'm glad Emily is exploring other college options because the whole I'm-going-to-Stanford-and-living-with-my-girlfriend thing is a little unrealistic. But I'm not sold on the whole sorority thing for her, or really anyone on this show. Because there are waaaaayyyy too many opportunities for creepy things to happen like the room Spencer found (see below for that bit on insanity).

Exhibit A

And I'm 800% sure that college helper dude was creepy. When she finally told him she was taken, he seemed to accept it well and then he made this face:

This show has programmed me to be suspicious of every male character.

Hannah

Of all of your bad plans, this has been the worst. At least you were arrested for holding something actually dangerous and not a shovel this time? Just looking on the bright side.

Maybe Hannah and her mother can share lawyers. Although, it was totally Melissa.

Creepy Moment of the Week:
The panic room/torture chamber in the sorority.

What. The. Fuck

What are your theories about who was kept in this room? I'm betting that evil twin theory is right.
