Spencer's reaction to Alex

The only thing that confuses me about the finale is that you’re telling me that after finding out you’ve got an identical twin sister you don’t even want to properly get to know her, not even in the slightest? As soon as she’s shipped off to prison you’re off to your friends’ wedding acting completely fine with no further mention of her?? When Ali found out about CeCe she was sympathetic, she visited her and gave her the support she needed but Spencer just completely forgets about Alex?? What’s up with that? No matter how crazy she is you’d still want to get to know your family no? Makes no sense to me🤔

[peter-sluttin-it-up-hasting-blo]

Apart from not tying her into the story from the beginning, this was another problem for me too… the way this entire episode unfolded. Even as a standalone story where I try to accept that AD was born after Charlotte died, it still is awful. The entire thing was so rushed, it made no sense. I loved the reveal, didn’t mind that we got yet another set of twins… loved that Troian got the role… loved Alex…but yeah. Spencer has no reaction. The liars didn’t have any either really. At the end of the ep, they all behaved like nothing happened. They didn’t even mention it. Marlene wasted so much time on the ships that she had no time left to make this entire twin reveal believable. It really didn’t work as a series finale. It should have been a season finale. Or Alex should have been revealed when Mary was revealed. Instead of kidnapping Jenna, Alex should have kidnapped Spencer…

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

YES YES YES I completely agree with everything you just said! I didn't want to see fucking 20 minutes of sex, they could've put that in a couple of episodes before in all of the other filler episodes in the scene. If spencer had been kidnapped at the beginning and didn't see Alex until a couple episodes into this half of the season and then we got multiple episodes of Alex imitating spencer and the girls slowly figuring it out it would've worked so much better! They should've had season 6B and 7A as AD figuring out that mona killed charlotte and then the reveal slowly progress throughout the last half of season 7, it would've made the whole series more entertaining rather than a whole bunch of what felt like filler episodes and fans wouldn't have been so disappointed. I personally loved the way Alex was revealed but they definitely could've done it earlier on in the season and have everything that happened in the finale be spread out over the episodes.

My guess is that Marlene knew a lot of people wouldn't like the reveal and feared that releasing Alex's identity early in the season would've meant that those who didn't enjoy it might have stopped watching and they wouldn't have got as many views as they were getting at that time. Fans tuned in to see clues to the identity of AD and I feel like if they'd have released it earlier on then those who were unhappy would've just stopped watching and they wouldn't have had so much hype around the finale

Spencer's reaction to Alex

The only thing that confuses me about the finale is that you're telling me that after finding out you've got an identical twin sister you don't even want to properly get to know her, not even in the slightest? As soon as she's shipped off to prison you're off to your friends' wedding acting completely fine with no further mention of her??

No matter how crazy she is you'd still want to get to know your family no? Makes no sense to me🤔

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

WHY DID ALEX TAKE EZRA?? So I'm seeing loads of confusion about why Alex took Ezra and imprisoned him with spencer down in that underground bunker thing but I thought they explained it in the episode? Ezra tells spencer that when he saw her at the Radley; After booking the hot air balloon they have that odd conversation and then it moves on, but Ezra says that he followed Alex out of the hotel because he thought she was acting really strange and when he got out there everything went blank. So basically Ezra was onto Alex and started figuring it out and Alex realised this and so she knocked Ezra out and imprisoned him before he could tell anyone else and ruin her plan to take over Spencer's life. She mentions killing Ezra presumably because she obviously can't keep him down there forever and if she were to assume Spencer's life and Ezra was roaming free then she'd be exposed instantly!

WHY WHY WHY

So you’re telling me Alex did ALL of this shit to be FRIENDS with the liars? THEN WHY DID SHE TORTURE THEM.

AND WHY DID SHE TAKE EZRA?!

IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE MARLENE

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

Alex tortured them because she believed that they killed charlotte, the only family she had. She stopped once she'd found out it was Mona and then during the time jump realised she wanted to be a part of a friendship group like the one she'd been observing, the one her sister was already a part of. So then she began planning her switch with Spencer which she attempts in the finale so that she can enter a friendship group and have some kind of family that she's never experienced before

Also she only took Ezra because she knew he had began to figure out that she wasn't spencer (the scene where he's just booked the hot air ballon ride and sees spencer (Alex)??) Pretty sure he explains that he followed Alex because he thought she was acting strange and then she knocked him out and imprisoned him so that he couldn't tell anyone that she was her twin (she was obviously still planning the switch at that moment before Toby figured it out) Hope that makes sense! I've seen loads of confusion around Ezra being taken but I just wanted to explain what I got from what we actually saw on screen and make sense of it all!☺️

Alex's problem

A thought occurred to me when I remembered what Mary said. She said that Alex had some problems when she was little, so because of this her parents gave up on her. What kind of problem was it???

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

I'm assuming they just wanted us to guess that she had mental issues like her mother and because they found out she wasn't completely 'normal' they gave up on her??

[beautycomesfromwithinnn]

Reblog if you can say you have never sent hate or "go kill youself" messages to people . I want to see how many kind hearted people there are in tumblr .

Alex Drake Clue

Ok so I was rewatching the scene with Toby and who we now know was Alex when she asks to kiss him 'one last time' and I swear I've watched that moment so many times but you actually hear Alex's British accent slip through her fake American one when she says 'last'. It was literally there and no one even picked up on it! https://youtu.be/1deHeVwwvGI

Thank You

despite not being an active pll theory writer/blog, I always constantly read theories in my spare time and I just want to say a huge congrats and thank you to all of those who dedicated their time to researching and writing these theories that kept all of the fans connected over the years, I feel like I wouldn't have been so invested in this show if I didn't have these theories to explore and love so thank you so much❤️❤️

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

Props to Troian tho, despite her cringe worthy cockney accent she did a brilliant job in this last episode!

Having to work with Marlene and Co’s ridiculous and unreliable writing I think she did a pretty damn good job👏🏼👏🏼

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

Anyone else feel like the last episode was completely disconnected from the other episodes in season 7?? Like Idk something about it made me feel like I was watching an entirely different show in the second part of the episode

[idonthaveacoolusernxme]

Am I the only one that loved the twincer reveal, like yeah it was really rushed but damn it was so much better than the CeCe reveal!

sidenote is that how everyone outside of the UK perceives British accents? Is that really how we sound to everyone?😂
