A (Allison) D (Dilaurentiis). Ali is AD - Pretty Little Liars (2010) Discussion

[–] marinaalexis-87074 8 years ago

Even as the biggest Alison is A theorist out there, I'm not sure if the writers will be willing to go this far because "emison is endgame tru love otp!!"

But I will say, going along with your point, that the phrase "hiding in plain sight" was used to describe Ali in 4x19 and 5x01, and was also how A.D. described him/herself in 6x14. Just something to think about...

I highly doubt Alison is A.D

Alison being A is too obvious. If they want to really shock us they would go with someone we least expect. However, my bet is on either Wren or Lucas.

The producers will receive major backlash if Alison is A because majority of the fans wants Emison. And it's been confirmed Emison is endgame. And quite frankly, I'm a Emison supporter so I would be devested if they didn't end up together by the seasons end.

Watching the latest trailer, Emily is shown quite a bit in Alison's house so she may have moved in with Alison in 7B.

Gotta disagree.

Alison being A is too obvious.

First of all, not really...? She's officially the fifth Liar now, I think they're trying pretty hard to make her seem innocent and "good." Also, we saw CeCe eavesdropping outside of Ezra's apartment, literally wearing a black A hoodie, in 4x11. Doesn't get much more obvious than that.

majority of the fans wants Emison. And it's been confirmed Emison is endgame.

Emison has not been confirmed as endgame by any means. And I don't believe you're correct about the majority of fans liking them. A very loud portion of fans are very enthusiastic about their love for Emison, but a few months ago Buzzfeed posted a questionnaire on characters, ships, etc. (https://www.buzzfeed.com/annas451019d1e/how-popular-are-your-pretty-little-liars-opinion-1kcr6?utm_term=.qh9Wx0G8p#.gnY4MQqV5) and Emison only got 17% of the vote, 25.8k people out of 147.8k total.

Millions of people watch PLL, and buzzfeed doesn't define the whole PLL fandom. No matther what, it still is one of the 4 main ships and the most popular Emily ship and the most popular Alison ship.

I however do not know why people say Emison is confirmed, nothing has been confirmed for anybody. Based on snaps, Shay and Sasha did appear to film often together at Ali's house, but seeing how much the writers have loved to bait the Emison fans in the past, I'm not jumping to any conclusions. Emily doesn,t really have a place to live. She has been sharing Lucas's 1 bedroom loft with Hanna, but if she's back with Caleb, Em might need a new place to live. Alison lives in a big house alone. THere are multiple empty bedrooms in that house, so they could just be living together as roomates.

I don't want Ali to be AD in the end, because it would be too obvious and unoriginal. What I find weird though, is even if she shares the initials with AD, no one has suspected her for a second. That is odd. They always suspect Alison of everything ususally, but minutes after AD signed her/his first text, the group turned aroud and accused Alison of killing Charlotte instead. AD being her initials, she has used them once in a while.

When Alison was communicating with A(mona) through newspaper adds, she was signing them AD.

The EF + AD that Emison signed on the kissing rock.

When Paige ratted out to the Police that Alison was alive, the letter said to check AD incorporated with the PO BOX number that Emily was sending money to.

There may be more that I don't remember.

You have to look at the show from the marketing point of view, hey won't break up Emison and you have to go with a character they WOULD make A.D. . Like, Lucas. I think it's him and I think it's VERY obvious. There are numerous clues in 6B and 7A, more than Alison, who only has like, 1 clue if you were to say that's a clue for her.

There are numerous clues in 6B and 7A, more than Alison, who only has like, 1 clue if you were to say that's a clue for her.

There are so, so many little oddities and inconsistencies when it comes to Alison. They're just not obvious like they were in 5a, so people disregard them. But let's see -

- She insisted on Charlotte's release since the day she was let out of the hospital (as mentioned by Ashley in 6x11). Why on earth would she do that without even letting Charlotte get the proper treatment she needed?

- When she appears in Emily's hospital room right after the Sara Harvey "dream," the framing of Ali leaning over Emily's bed is exactly the same as Sara. She contradicts herself, as well - first claiming no one could have come in because she was right outside the room the whole time, but then stating that she'd gone to get the nurse. Which is it?

- Why did she tell Emily in 6x14 that she was off with Rollins at his family farm when there was no family farm? Did she not notice the signs for the Amish bed and breakfast? And how did she not think it was odd that she hadn't met a single relative?

- In 5x02 we see her pick up a specific doll in her bedroom, which the camera focuses very closely on. Then, at the end of 6x13, we see that the new A is now in possession of it. Why?!

- She's lied twice now about the night Charlotte died. First that they talked all night and went to bed without any problem, and when she woke up Charlotte was gone. That was followed by the story that she told Charlotte about her and Rollins, and Charlotte got mad and stormed upstairs. Finally she tells the apparent truth, claiming that she lied because she figured it would look like she killed Charlotte. The problem? When she initially told the girls her first story, Charlotte's body hadn't been found yet. Why would Alison lie about Charlotte leaving the house if she didn't know she was dead?

- Also, her newest story is that she told Charlotte about her and Rollins and Charlotte immediately stormed out, with Ali following. If that's the case, when did Charlotte answer the phone call from Mona? Evidence that Ali is still lying.

- It's interesting that A.D. takes Aria's file in 7x07, presumably to use against her, on the same day that Alison gets irrationally angry with Aria for showing up with Jason. Actually, A.D. and Alison's emotions seem to be similar on several different occasions.

- And finally! The firework shot in 7x07 is almost exactly the same as the one in 1x02, right before the Jenna Thing. The garage smoking is also a direct parallel to the storm cellar smoking. And we all know who was responsible for the explosion in the garage...

Holy crap that got long. Sorry for the total rant, but I've been working out clues that point to Alison for months now and just want to clear up that she certainly has been suspicious since the time jump! There's more, but I figured I should probably get a hold of myself.

I think in a world where the script writers care more about quality than shipping you'd definitely be onto something but I'm really sorry to say that I don't think the writers will risk pissing of Emison fans in order to pull of a 'Ali is A' scenario.

reply

[–] marinaalexis-87074 8 years ago

No, I agree with you. Marlene has made her priorities very clear. On any other show, I would feel 100% certain that Ali is involved based on everything I just posted. But on this show it's just as big of a possibility that all of those inconsistencies and strange little things are just examples of *beep* writing. :/

But hey, I can still hope. :)

You're just having one of those awkward moments where your theories make more sense than the actual storyline. Don't worry. It has happened to all of us.

You did a good job. Some I might feel are coincidences but

Thanks! Which do you see as coincidences? I understand a lot might get chalked up to just poor writing, but I don't really understand how any of these can be played off as coincidences?

Alison having the same moods as A.D. And you're welcome:)

[–] donnellyv18 8 years ago

Remember when Spencer had Alison visit her in the middle of the night? In the newspaper clippings, Ali and A were having a conversation of sorts and Ali signed off as A.D. did Marlene just forget about this before calling the big bad A.D???

reply

[–] thehalloweencollection 8 years ago

I mean, Ali calling herself A.D. in 2B doesn't really matter. It's a coincidence. Nothing more and I'm fine with it.

reply

[–] MarblesLove 8 years ago

Yeah, Ali signed off as A.D. and the new villain is A.D. but I mean, Ali's initials are A.D. so why would her signing that be weird? I feel like that means Marlene just forgot or doesn't care or wants us to think it could be Ali when it's really not or wants us to think Ali is too obvious so we suspect someone else and have it actually be Ali. Or maybe something else or a combination of those.

Wow. Sorry, that's a lot of ors.

Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.
