So ... out of all the ****ty things Marlene has done over the years, giving me MelissA and then taking it away has got to be the worst. BITCH.



With Alex Drake, I always really liked the whole concept of a Spencer twin but just never liked the idea of AD being someone we hadn't even met before season 7, that's such a stupid copout. Like, the entire second half of season 6 when we were supposed to be wondering who the new A was and it's someone we hadn't even met yet. It's Black Widow all over again. Also, I wish they went down the Avery route instead.

But yeah, on paper I really like the idea (stuff like Spencer thinking she's looking at her reflection and then Alex suddenly dropping her hand worked really well), I just wish we'd seen the twin earlier because it just ended up being a more flashy version of "oh this new character did it".

I like how we still don't have an answer to the flashback of Melissa and CeCe talking (actually there's probably a mountain of loose ends but that's the most annoying one for me).

Yeah, I won't watch another of Marlene's shows. The vast majority of the mysteries in this show either had anticlimactic reveals or weren't answered at all, probably because they tried to shove too much in without actually knowing where they were taking it 99% of the time.
