Pretty Little Liars: Why All the Gasping?

watch-pretty-little-liarsPretty Little Liars came out on Netflix! I was really excited about it because I believed I could be Nancy Drew and figure out who A is! But alas, no such luck. I haven’t given up hope, though! But there are some things in the show that I just don’t understand.

Such as, why didn’t they go to the police when they received the first A text? I never understood why they would keep letting themselves be blackmailed. Why would they keep that a secret when it led to their best friend being murdered? The police have more resources than they do. If they had, they would have never been arrested…multiple times.Their records are pretty lengthy by now.

Also, why do people believe them when they say they’re okay after giving their phone a wide eyed deer in the headlights look? Saying it’s your mom or dad who texted you is the worst lie in the city of Liarville. Worst. They could tone down the gasping too. It looks much too suspicious and it worries me that they might have asthma.

And really, if one is trying to keep one’s illicit affair with one’s teacher a secret, I recommend not making out in the middle of Town Square and also not getting in fights at school…where one of them works…that’s less than secretive.

Also, they seriously need to lock their freaking doors. Why would you leave them unlocked when someone is trying to kill you? That’s an actual death wish. And for the love of God they need to check their closets for evil conniving  black hoodie wearing murderers! There has been more than one occasion where that’s where A was hiding. Did they never read mystery novels as children? Like Nancy Drew, for instance?

Lastly, what’s up with all the gorgeous older men in that town falling in love with a bunch of teenage girls? Is there something in the water? Because I mean damn, that’s super illegal kids.

I have to keep watching it, though. They’ve sucked me into the void! I can’t not know who A is…shame on you, ABC Family!

Go Away Angel, I’m Team Xander

I’ve recently been obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and it’s pretty much the best show ever…except for one thing.

Why the bloody hell is Buffy in love with Angel and not Xander? I mean she still loves him after he attempts to murder her, tortures Giles, kills Jenny, and almost kills Willow! Then in later seasons he leaves her! Yet she still loves him throughout the entire show, even though he’s a big ball of instability and death. Also, he’s probably one of the most overly dramatic vampires ever. Like, dude, shut up and go drink some blood.

What about Xander? He slays vampires and demons for her! I mean, he’s not very good at it, but it’s the thought that counts! Xander would never try to eat her either, which I feel is a very important component in a relationship. Cannibalism kind of puts a dent in love. It can get a bit awkward, when one party is digesting the other. On a brighter note, Xander can actually go out into sunlight and not get third degree burns! Plus, he’s really cute, too.

Most importantly? He’s not going to massacre the entire town, which I feel Buffy should have thought about before dating a vampire. They’re kind of known to, you know…eat people.

Xander is obviously the best choice for her.
