Talk:Pretty isn't the Point/@comment-16754824-20150213200451

Is it just me, or are the PLL romance scenes horrible? Like I'm not saying they're always horrible, because the ones from the earlier seasons were better, but they've really failed in the romance department lately. All their couples are just bland when they kiss, hug, talk, etc. And this is coming from a major Spoby shipper. All the couples have no spark, and I even mean the pairings they're hinting at, like Spencer and Jonny, as well as Andrew and Aria. Maybe it's because recently I've been watching TVD, and all the romance has been just gorgeously done. The scenes are a billion times hotter. That's why I was able to ship Klaroline from TVD so hard... they don't even ever date for real, but the chemistry and tension build-up is so well-done that it's easy to ship them. Marlene King, IMO, is not a very good writer lol. Her romantic scenes are never as "epic" as she claims they are. How much do you want to bet that the epic Spencer/Toby scene in 5x24 won't be epic at all? And it doesn't help when her mystery writing is lacking, with a ton of plot holes and no answers. That's why I'm starting to believe that PLL isn't a very good show, compared to others, writing-wise. The scenes aren't done that great. I feel emotionless when watching ANY scene. Idk if you guys see it, but this is just how I feel.
