However I'm not sure what's more ridiculous: the fact that I'm not even exaggerating when I claim the "technique" is abused more times in one episode than the duration of most series in comparison, or that I'm still watching. I literally cringe during the scenes that star Hanna's mom because she is arguably the biggest culprit. Emily used to hold that title, but Shay's acting has drastically improved :D

I've never been one of those people -- and I truly mean no offense toward anyone who is -- to logicize that I must continue to watch a program after I've invested a good deal of time (2 years or more) into it. For instance, I gave up on "True Blood" after season four and "Once Upon a Time" last midseason. But no matter how sloppy the plotlines and dialogue become, incredulous the Liars' actions are, or Aria's increasing stupidity, I guess I'm still hooked because Rosewood's environment (a good deal of which is recycled from Gilmore Girls' set) is alluring and I love a mystery #GuiltyPleasure101
