Plus: Good news for Major Crimes, a premiere date for Netflix's next series, and the Pretty Little Liars spin-off casts its lead.
The new series, Ravenswood, will premiere in October.
"A dAngerous gAme" was mostly what you'd expect for a Pretty Little Liars season finale. It wasn't a terrible episode, but it also wasn't surprising or revealing to anyone who'd been paying attention.
Just as much as loved ones are being used as puppets in A's game against the Liars, they're being used as puppets against us.
Plus: Minka Kelly goes for science-fiction, ABC Family sets a Season 4 premiere date for Pretty Little Liars, and more.
Spencer has seen that there's more to the mystery than the identity of a bully. There's something bigger and fiercer than texts and blackmail.
"Out of Sight, Out of Mind" tried my patience on more than one occasion, but the game is set up for what should be a more rewarding end to the season.
While "Hot Water" left us hanging with Spencer's development, we're sliding more pieces into place for a fast-approaching finale.
How Spencer continues to be the best, I don't know. But the rest of the Liars really helped her out this week by lowering the bar of excellence.
Things you don't want: poverty, bitter disappointment, to be hit with a sock full of quarters. And last on that list: Spencer Hastings coming after you with nothing to lose.
This was an important episode for the series to set up the season to come.
The basic conclusion you could draw from "Mona-Mania" is this: While the boys are cowering in fear of their young lives being ruined, the girls are getting brassy and fearless against the bully that has them all under her thumb.
"She's Better Now" demonstrated how open PLL has become without losing its mystery.
We projected the TV.com bat-logo into the sky and summoned the site's contributors to ask them to name their five favorite shows of the year.
"This Is a Dark Ride" was a good mixture of PLL's patented ham-fisted exposition with precious high-level information and opportunities for Hanna to drop some one-liners. Which is all I can ask for in an episode.
Plus: More episodes and more scripts for more shows, Adam Baldwin finds a new job, and Louis C.K. will host Saturday Night Live.
Plus: The X Factor chooses new hosts, a new America's Next Top Model will feature men, and your Super Bowl halftime entertainer is...
Secrets and lies and the torture of four attractive young women will continue.
As promised, Pretty Little Liars' midseason finale did not hold back.
