Okay, lemme try to make sense of this. Admittedly, that's a really tall order. What that other reviewer says, oh, I can't help but to agree with her on much. But she does come down upon it a bit harsh. For one thing, this is the episode where it finally happens. What we've all suspected, and what we've all waited for, and, here it is... Alison, still alive! And with all it's faults, the show does one thing right... Alison is not the Absolute Evil, she is a victim herself.
But the unpopularity of this episode? Clearly, here the girls are dressed in severe outfits, they look like they've stepped out of yesteryear, Spencer especially, looks like a black widow, and Aria and Emily both look ridiculous, Hanna at least is very ornately fancy-looking BUT the young crowd do not relate to these fashions. What's more, they don't wanna see the witch lady, and the old guy that looks like a corpse puts them off totally... thus alienating the likely viewers. Added to that, this Ravenswood museum dump. The producers could not have created a bigger mess... oops, I stand corrected... they actually did. And made the spin-off show of it. RAVENSWOOD. Which I know nothing of, but if it's as bleak as this, in this creepy little town... hell, didn't they do some research beforehand... that this stuff would not go down well with the terminally-hip PRETTY LITTLE LIARS crowd?
Scary, no, nothing, it tries, but fails miserably. I am no so much a Nicole Gale Anderson fan (BEAUTY & THE BEAST... enough said) but she did win me over. The World War One gas mask thing was laid on about as thick, as overdone, as Shay Mitchell's doing those consternation-filled eyes, wide like saucers, demented really...
Yes, a failure, and a train wreck, but, still, you shouldn't take the irrate young lady reviewer here to heart, not completely, anyway...
Positive: Alison, yes, of course. Yay, Team Sasha! Also, best performance I have seen of NIcole Gale Anderson. Negative: Awful clothes for the most part. Tries hard to sell this inexplicably surreal Ravenswood idea THAT JUST CANNOT FIT INTO THE FRANCHISE.
