Hey everyone (or, “hey, bitches,” I suppose),
I reviewed the summer finale for The A.V. Club, and since I wrote so, so much about the episode and season as a whole (I had to cut out my ode to Bruce The Three-Eyed Baby With A Watermelon, though), I figured I’d share it with you all.

Hey, it’s your fearless Annotations leader, LaToya, here. I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.
So, I’ve been putting off making this post for weeks and even talking about Pretty Little Liars, in general, for fear of having to talk about how I need to make this post. It was getting a little ridiculous, so now here I am to make the announcement: Pretty Little Liars Annotations is dead. Long live Pretty Little Liars Annotations.
Okay, maybe it’s not dead, but it’s back to indefinite hiatus status, and I really can’t confirm when it will be back, if ever at all. Really, it had already been on its last legs (and lasted much longer than I could ever expect) when it was just two of us doing us, and we were pretty busy with our “real world” work then. Now it’s just me, and I’m even busier these days (you follow me on Twitter, right?). I know plenty of you have volunteered to help with this endeavor, and I am grateful for that, but it’s always been a thing me and my friends (and our weird sense of humor) ran, and it simply wouldn’t be the same.
Trust me, I know this sucks. It’s sucked each time there’s been less help on the annotations front, and it really sucks now. And if I’m being completely honest, I feel like Pretty Little Liars Annotations has kind of peaked and plateaued in terms of popularity and what it can be. I’ll even admit I’m mildly jealous of other, more popular, more adaptable outlets for this fandom. But that’s what I get for choosing to sassily screencapping the show, now isn’t it?
Feel free to say goodbye (or say goodnight, not goodbye--whatever floats your boat) with reminders of your own personal favorite annotations or running jokes from Pretty Little Liars Annotations. We have A LOT. Four years worth.

An episode of Pretty Little Liars isn’t really an episode of Pretty Little Liars until at least one Liar is unnecessarily HORRIBLE to or about Jenna, simply because she’s blind.
This is just a heads up that your fearless PLL Annotations leAder (me!) wrote a quick recap of the season finale for US Weekly. I got to start it with “OMG!” Click through for the whole shebang.
Also, look forward to more annotations from the finale and the episodes we didn’t get to cover during our own hiatus! Don’t forget to submit your own, and seriously, thank you all for being so patient.

Pinot noir, you’re a star, listen to Tom Beren-gar
Pretty Little Liars has always been a nightmarish hellscape masquerading as a frothy teen drama, but this season finale really just leaned into all of that lunacy, didn’t it?
Let’s see, just in the last few episodes there’s been:
Emily: “Remember back in the day, when the worst thing that could happen was ending up in jail for possession of a shovel? Sometimes I really miss that. I miss us.” Liars: *wistful* Aria: “...’A’ has good taste though.”
There are things about me that would scare you, too.
