Love this show. Glad it's back.

Yeah!!!

This show is probably the most addictive thing this side of crack.

Ugh!!!!!!! Frakin' DVR cut off right at the end.

Other than that, this was a great season premiere. Love this show. Spencer is so sexy.

DJariya

All you missed was the mystery person from the cops funeral putting the dolls of the girls away. Presumably it was "A" He/She than took off the dark veil and was wearing some kind of doll mask.

Anyways, great season premiere. Lots of juicy stuff.

at Aria's dream sequence with Ezra getting arrested for having sex with a minor. I almost thought that was real.

meritocracy

Well, that and she added one new doll - Mona.

Gizmo

The big reveal was a pig?

joefrog91

Foreshadowing.

Was able to see the part I missed. Mona doll was creepy. Was the burned side of the mask symbolic of something?

So, was Melissa really the other Queen of Hearts? I've had my suspicions of her since she was getting texts from dead Ian.

JeffTheAlpaca

I like the black girl

Adam Tyner

Oh no! I don't know what's going on here, but it looks like someone's compromised DVD Talk's review system.

Awesome review. Can't wait for my copy to get here.

DJariya

Great review. Now get that firewall up so "A" won't be reviewing season 4 next year.

PhantomStranger

Clever review, though I think four stars for the third season is very generous.

Adam Tyner

When I was watching it live, there was a lot of dead air. Marathonning it...I liked it a lot more than I remembered. I think it wants to be an 18 episode season rather than 24, though.

Wait, I mean "A liked it..."

Synopsis:

Mrs. DiLaurentis' presence in Rosewood continues to unnerve all those around her, especially when she gives Hanna a family parrot, whose gift for mimicry provides startling insight into Alison's last days. Tired of feeling defenseless against "A," Aria decides to learn self defense and is intrigued by her sexy instructor. Meanwhile, Toby shares a heartbreaking secret with Spencer, and Hanna makes an alarming discovery regarding her mom.

And to complicate matters even further, "A" puts Mona in serious danger.

The talking bird is straight out of Twin Peaks. LOL. Love this show.

DJariya

It was the highest rated cable show last night. 3M viewers and 1.3. It's really developed a following.

PhantomStranger

It definitely seems at a snappier pace than last season.

DJariya

Solid episode.

Things are moving along at a pretty brisk pace.

Talking bird was awesome. Loved how it annoyed the crap out of Spencer.

Funny how Hanna is actually the one that provides the comedy relief. Interesting little development with her Mom.

at Alison's holding her breath tantrum to her Mom. She is such a little bitch. Can't believe she was friends with the girls.

DJariya

Synopsis:

Hanna worries that her mother is keeping a dangerous secret and is determined to protect her at all costs, which leads her to an uncomfortable meeting with Detective Holbrook. A clue in Ali's things leads the Liars to a creepy mask maker, who takes a shine to Emily and may have ties to another Rosewood resident. Spencer and Toby continue their search into a painful chapter of Toby's past and Melissa returns to Rosewood.

Meanwhile, A targets Emily's mom, leading Aria to make a desperate plea of
Ella.

Episode 3 of 24

Only got to see the last 30 minutes. I'll catch it on demand tomorrow.

DJariya

Episode was alright. Nothing really happened. Mostly filler.

Looks like they are potentially writing out Holly Marie Combs. I guess that makes sense. The adult characters besides Hanna's Mom don't really have anything to do. Nia Peeples is only a guest star.

What was the deal with the X Ray at the end? Looks like Emily has some kind of injury to her shoulder like a fracture?

TheMovieman

Yeah, she got a "Special Guest Star" credit. Previously she was listed with the regular cast (alphabetically).

joefrog91

I kind of thought they were trying to make it seem like Wren may be a part of the A team now. But you're right about it looking like a fracture.

DJariya

Synopsis:

Holbrook's partner, Lt. Tanner, comes to town, intensifying their investigation into the Liars and their possible connection to Wilden's death. Emily panics when her parents come under undue scrutiny due to "A's" manipulations. Hanna bristles when Caleb tries to help her through her this latest crisis, and tries to shift the focus of the police investigation. And Toby finds a new source of information into his mother's death, but it only leads to more questions.

Meanwhile Aria has an uncomfortable encounter while out with Jake, and Spencer lays a trap for Melissa.


Episode 4 of 24

I finally watched this yesterday. Not sure if I believe Melissa is looking out for Spencer. I'll be really disappointed if the new cops don't find something out. They are being portrayed as highly intelligent and should solve the murder in a timely manner.

I've never been an Aria fan and I'm hating her new boyfriend subplot.
