Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-34924658-20141018040755/@comment-26106320-20141018110131

I agree about how annoying the marlene bashing is. But I really think it sucks that the ships took over the majority of screen time. I think it wouldnt be so bad if it was some original, fresh romance, but the liars found their main love interest already in Season 1/2? The other love interests hang around for 2-4 episodes like Travis, Jake, Andrew, Spencers Drug helper, the weird counceler aria met and so on... It got boring because there is no real drama in the relationships.. And refering to the lies, I dont think she is really lying, I just think she is exaggerating... There is probably so much tension in the writers room and they only touch the mystery with velvet gloves to keep everything as secrets... So each small revelation is a big for them. In the beginning they probably werent prepared for 7 seasons and I also think the show shouldve ended after Season 5. We still dont know everything about the night alison disappaered and stretching one single mystery over more than 5 seasons is just too much...
