Finally! Somebody Went to Jail on Pretty Little Liars: Our Rants and Raves

Pretty Little Liars is back on a weekly basis, and we could not be more excited to be so utterly confused! Plus, Mindyand New Girl brought it hard in 2015. All that and more in tonight’s Rants and Raves.

RAVE: Pretty Little Liars: Though now we’re not sure she deserves to be there, Ali’s in jail for both Mona’s murder and the murder of Bethany! Not only is Spencer off the hook, but this might give us an opportunity for some A action that we know for a fact that Ali (probably?) isn’t responsible for. A didn’t even bother wasting any time before sending up some A-shaped fireworks that then rained down on the liars. As Hanna so aptly pointed out, “They don’t allow fireworks in prison!”

RANT: Pretty Little Liars: The girls should have known, though, that on this show (or any show, for that matter) you can’t have a nice hopeful talk about finally having a “normal” life without expecting all that potential normalcy to immediately come crashing right down.

RANT: Pretty Little Liars: Things that are bad ideas: Going to construction sites alone and hacking into college admissions sites. Aria definitely made some questionable decisions tonight. It’s just a good thing that A is so bad at using a staple gun to staple people to walls.

RAVE: New Girl: Um, how adorable were Nick and Coach tonight? They weren’t exactly appropriate in their determination to protect Winston from the dangers of his new job as a police officer, but they were very adorable. Loved the ending that found them in a support group for the families (and roommates) of police officers. Perfect.

RAVE: New Girl: Any excuse to have Jess’s hot British boyfriend dress up like a construction worker is a great excuse. And no, before you ask, we don’t necessarily have a thing for construction workers. We do, however, have a thing for Jess’s hot British boyfriend, and whatever costume this show chooses to put him in.

RAVE: New Girl: We are also fans of any excuse for Schmidt to go on a clothing-related rant. Has he done that before? We’re not sure, but his small panic attack about the length of his jacket sleeves certainly felt very Schmidt-ian.

RANT: The Mindy Project: Danny lost a couple points in our book for not knowing who Taylor Swift is, and then lost a couple more when he thought Mrs. Gurglar’s sexy foot was Mindy’s sexy foot, but he gained them all back with all the other things he did during this episode. Who wouldn’t like to come back to their dorm room to find Chris Messina cuddling with their teddy bear after a long day of college?

RAVE: Chicago Fire: What a way to ring in 2015! All those scenes with Mills and Sylvie trying to escape their kidnappers were so intense, and we’re extremely intrigued by this new arsonist plotline with ties to Shay’s death. We’re also glad the baby’s OK!

RANT: Chicago Fire: We’re still mad that Shay’s dead, though. We’ll always be mad.

RAVE: Cougar Town: Of course the final season premiere involved the gang trying and completely and totally failing to give up drinking in solidarity with the super duper pregnant Laurie. It felt symbolic, but that might just be the wine we were drinking.
