Talk:Oh, What Hard Luck Stories They All Hand Me/@comment-25132765-20150128235446/@comment-25547603-20150129004441

Ezra spent a summer with Ali and when she disappeared he wanted to find out what happened to that mysterious girl who always told lies. This was also an opportunity to realize his dream, which was becoming a famous writer. So he had this idea to write a true crime book. There are people who have high aspirations in life, and Ezra was one of them. He was willing to do anything to get to the truth and write his book, even using Alison's friends. And I don't blame him at all, this is what a tough journalist has to do, using any way. Like Lana Winters from AHS: Asylum, if you watched that show.

Anyway, he had planned everything to write his book, he had also planned to meet Ali's friends, but then something unexpected occurred: when he ran into one of Ali's friends (Aria, of course) he suddenly liked her because she was different from any other girl he had ever met.

Aria met him before he was her teacher, so I've never seen their relationship as inappropriate. And Jason is around Ezra's age, why Jason is ok with Aria and Ezra is not? Or Wren kissing Spencer/Hanna? Because people like to judge without thinking. Anyway.

It didn't take too long before they were a couple, and that's the moment he stopped doing his researches. Of course he couldn't tell her who he was and what was his original plan, Aria probably wouldn't have believed him and would have dumped him.

When they broke up in the Season 3 finale, he began his research again. This time wasn't just 1) to find out the truth about Ali and 2) to write a book, but 3) to help Aria. Yeah, because it turns out there's a crazy psycho maniac named "A" and he would have done anything to find out their identity to help Aria, and his way to help was planting cameras all around Rosewood like a psychopath (this is an unusual way to investigate, but this is PLL, right?) Thanks to Ezra, they found out that Mrs D. was shady and that she was hiding something, that Shana was the one on the roof - he even took a bullet for the Liars, and many other things we may not be aware of. (I remember that Aria said once "Ezra thinks one of us did it" But was that ever explained?)

So I don't get how people actually don't like Ezra. What has he done so wrong? Right, he didn't tell Aria what was his original plan, but he didn't want to ruin what they had, which was genuine and true. And it looks like it was the right choice, since we are in Season 5 and they still love each other (and they're endgame)
