I totally agree with everything you just said. PLL will always be one of my my favourite shows, but I feel like they're focusing waay too much on the liars' relatioships or their boyfriends' troubles instead of the development of the main Ali/A mystery. I'm also kind of annoyed by how little development/ screentime do characters like CeCe or Shana get. I mean I was a little bit annoyed when the writers suddenly made Shana super mysterious in the season 3 finale + onwards, yet we never saw her do anything Jenna/A related and she was quite a minor character before, which made the whole Shana+Jenna thing really random. Same with CeCe. She was a very minor character in 3A, thank god she got a little bit more development than Shana in 3B, but she still barely made an appearance, and then we suddenly get all this info about her in season 4 (yet somehow she STILL didn't make an appearance). Because these two characters got barely any screentime in season 3, all the mystery around them (especially Shana) seems to be very rushed. Maybe if the writers spent more time on developing Shana and CeCe, and making sure they had more screentime before connecting them to the Ali/A mystery, instead of giving half of the screentime to Ezra/Maggie/Malcolm storyline (which btw is the most POINTLESS storyline ever, seeing as it barely has anything to do with the liars, and does not help the development of the main mystery at all), their connection to A wouldn't feel as if the writers put the names of all the secondary characters in a bowl and then pulled two of them out, and declared that these characters would be somehow related to A (Again the last point was more about Shana, than CeCe, seeing as CeCe was connected to Ali since she first appeared, so her connection to A isn't as random, she just didn't get enough screentime in my oppinion). As I said before I agree with all the points you made and I really hope the writers will stop focusing on Ezria Spoby etc. so much.
