Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-25547603-20141128014453/@comment-25547603-20141128015113

Wait I post here.

I think we are seeing the whole course of events that actually did take place in the flashbacks from the teller of the flashback point of view (Except when no one is telling and there's just the flashback, like The Jenna Thing, what we see is objective and of course true, altough we don't know if something happened before/after). When flashback is shown while the characters are telling something, they're telling the truth about what happened in that specific flashback.

Here is a list to help you figure out how I see the whole thing.

a)  When people says something and we see that something in flashbacks, what happened is 100% true.

b)  Flashback = truth, always, but there's something missing in the flashback. The teller may not know what happened before/after that flashback and why, so there could be more. Or maybe the teller told us only the part that was convenient to them (but still true, because we see it on flashbacks), and again there's more.

c1) When people says something but the flashback is not shown, it could really be a lie. Example: CeCe said that Ali that night called her for help because everyone was freaking out about the videos. I think this is a lie because they never showed that flashback.

c2) When people says something but the flashback is not shown, maybe they didn't have the time to show because of a lack of time in the episode OR it's true but it isn't shown yet because there's something secret about it that must be revealed yet. Example: Alison met Toby that night and we know that's true because of Toby's sweater. They didn't show us that scene. Lack of time in the episode or something hidden about it?
