Don't get me wrong. I am a massive Pretty Little Liars fan. I think it's a fab TV show. However, if there's one thing that I've learnt after two or three years of watching the show (sorry, not a fan from the beginning), is that the Liars have a few things they seriously should know by now! So here's a tongue-in-cheek list of all the things that I feel Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily really should have learnt in their 5+ years of dealing with the monster that is 'A'.....
Everyone should listen to Spencer. There are countless times throughout the six seasons of PLL where Spencer has acted as the only voice of reason. And while, yes, there are plenty of times when she hasn't too, she's usually got it sussed out before the other three Liars are even halfway there. She provides the answers to a lot of random stuff that helps Aria, Hanna, Emily and herself get closer to the truth about their tormentor. She stopped them from getting electrocuted in the prison Charles was keeping them in. She figured out how to get them out of that prison Charles was keeping them in....need I say more? Guys, when in doubt, look to Spencer.
Whoever you think A obviously is, it most likely isn't. Look, girls, we've been doing this for years. A has been your silent and invisible tormentor for almost your entire adult life. He/she is pretty damn good at hiding and tricking you. So why do always seem to jump to the conclusion that A is the most blindingly obvious person, even after considerable doubt is placed on him/her?! Take Andrew for example. He'd been spending massive amounts of time with Aria. The van A captured the girls in was conveniently still at his house. He has an alibi. C'mon girls, look a bit deeper!
Always tell the police, and your parents, everything. If you are being hounded, tortured and manipulated by a literal crazy person (let's be honest here), don't keep thinking that you are better off keeping it to yourself, and not telling people who actually could help you out. You've been doing that for five years, and that hasn't really worked out so well....
Stop lying! It's simple. If you stop lying about things, A/Charles wouldn't have anything to use against you. Thus, you would stop being pawns in his little games. Sound like a good idea?! For some reason, Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily continually seem to think that lying is defo the better option, when, as above, the way they've been doing things hasn't really worked out for them in the past has it? Sorry girls, I love ya, but stop.
*Disclaimer* I love PLL and have done for a long time. I think it's a really well executed show and very clever. This list is not a critique of the writing/producers/actors, etc., just a few funny things I've thought as a viewer. And you should definitely watch the show if you don't already!:)
