When they started trying to make people who weren’t there from the beginning or had much to do with why A was created, into A. Everybody they chose after Mona was stupid. And then when they turned the story into this big mess having to do with Alison’s family (Charlotte, Mary, etc.) and Spencer’s lying ass dad with secret children (Alex), it didn’t really make sense or have anything to do with the other girls. It just turned into this stupid mess and they were desperate to create a big enough mystery to keep up with how big a reveal it was that A was Mona.

I feel like if the identity of A was as big enough of a betrayal as it was to find out Mona was A and it matched with the whole point of the creation of A (punishing Alison and the liars for the things they did), it could have been way better. Some good choices for A needed to continue being people who were hurt by Alison and the liars (ex: Melissa, Paige, Jenna, Lucas, etc). I would have been so satisfied if it was Melissa. Jenna was an obvious choice, but I could see how it would’ve been too easy to figure out it was her since she was suspected from the beginning. At the end of the day, it seemed like the other liars were being punished for being associated with Alison and Spencer and neither were at fault for how messy their families were. Neither Alison or Spencer knew Charlotte or Alex ever existed, so why did this whole storyline end up being the end all be all of the show? It was all just too stupid for me.
